Didn't like what I saw from Stanionis yesterday but other than that spot on
i saw stanionis being compared to from ruslan to GGG last night...the man has a tank and a good pressure game...dulorme was talking about both his hands were hurting from hitting him so much...the scores i thought were a little wide but i thought he won..but he was fighting too one dimensional and he got hit a lot too by dulorme..dulorme can punch too

"I see yall talkin shyt about me"
Stanionis was too fukking hesitant with the right hand. Dude was throwing em like he was waiting for dude to hand him change and a receipt. 
Plus he got hit way too fukking much. He made Dulorme look the best I ever seen him look before.
He lucky he at slow ass 147 and not 154. Dude is a Ring City card main event upset waiting to happen if he don't make certain improvements.

I thought he was impressive before yesterday, his style is similar to GGG though a bit more conservative with his high guard (and not the same level ofc). Just couldn't pull the trigger as often as he should have, like LB said. Especially when you're having a guy like Dulorme in front of you who we know is fast but can crack under serious firepower. He should have just gone all out, was way too complacent. Easy to talk from here but you get it...

Now THATS a fight that is contrasting in styles that can be a FOTY if Beterbiev (and Stevenson
) havent zapped whats left of Gvozdyk’s punch resistance
If Ennis has a chin, he starches Ortiz. Starches him easy! He shrugged off Lipinets punches like they weren't shyt so I think he may have some whiskers. People don't realize that the Charlo's dangerous cuz they got a chin and tough. If Ennis has toughness and a chin, combined with that twitchiness, reflexes, speed, he gonna be a hard muthafukka to beat by anybody...and that's including Spence and Crawford too. Dude is an A-level athlete. Time will tell.
I guess we'll be seeing that Showtime schedule rollout very soon
Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano To Headline Showtime Telecast; Date & Venue TBA
Jermell Charlo has secured his chance to become boxing’s fully unified 154-pound champion.
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Charlo and unbeaten Brian Castano have agreed to terms for a title unification fight. Showtime is expected to televise Charlo-Castano as a main event either in June or July, though the date hadn’t been solidified as of Sunday.
Their fight likely will take place in Houston, Charlo’s hometown. Charlo, 30, and Castano, 31, will fight for Charlo’s IBF, WBA and WBC championships and Castano’s WBO belt.
La Nacion, a daily newspaper in Castano’s home country of Argentina, first reported that a deal is in place for the Charlo-Castano clash. An official announcement of Charlo-Castano could be made sometime this week.
Their 12-round bout will be the second straight title unification fight for Charlo, who made it clear Castano was his opponent of choice once Castano became a two-time champion February 13.
The Houston native knocked down Jeison Rosario three times and stopped him with a body shot in the eighth round of Charlo’s most recent fight, which took place September 26 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Charlo (34-1, 18 KOs) defended his WBC crown that night and took the IBF and WBA championships from the Dominican Republic’s Rosario (20-2-1, 14 KOs) in their Showtime Pay-Per-View fight.
Charlo and his twin brother, Jermall Charlo, co-headlined Showtime’s pay-per-view event September 26. Jermall Charlo convincingly defeated Ukraine’s Sergiy Derevyanchenko by unanimous decision in their 12-round fight for Charlo’s WBC middleweight title that night.
Jermall Charlo’s next fight has not been announced, yet he, too, is expected to headline a “Showtime Championship Boxing” broadcast this summer, at some point after Jermell Charlo and Castano meet.
Castano, meanwhile, will get another opportunity to knock off a prominent opponent in his division.
The Argentinean champion fought Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara to a 12-round split draw in March 2019 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Castano (17-0-1, 12 KOs) retained the WBA super welterweight title, though he was later stripped of that belt because he declined to defend it against mandatory challenger Michel Soro in France, Soro’s home country, due to financial concerns.
Castano became a two-time champion February 13, when he beat Brazil’s Patrick Teixeira by unanimous decision in their 12-round bout at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California. The favored Castano was the WBO’s mandatory challenger for Teixeira’s title.
Once Castano dethroned Teixeira (31-2, 22 KOs), he became the obvious opponent for Jermell Charlo’s next fight. Castano holds the only 154-pound championship Charlo doesn’t own and both boxers are affiliated with Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions, which made their fight easier to put together.

The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
I see so many dismissing that charlo castano match like it won't be competitive. Castano no joke.
I disagree. I think Charlo catches him with an uppercut to end the night under 8 rounds.
I'm inclined to downplay Charlo's skills because I don't think highly of Castano, but honestly he IS the strongest and most complete fighter at 54 right now. So I'm starting to come around on recognizing him as a legitimate P4P talent.
Castano is too reckless and doesn't have a strong enough punch to last 12 against Mel. If he's really top 5 P4P like I've seen people state, then he does not struggle with Castano.
