Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

its a challenge based off physical advantages that barrios has not really a skilled one to me...i would think that if barrios didnt have that hiccup sometime back...in fact ive been saying it barrios needed to run it back with the WSB cat he got a gift from on the porter-spence card more

with regards to PPV and numbers..i really cant take any PPV numbers seriously if they cant break a milly..tyson-jones doing 1.7 million for an exhibition from 2 retired fighters is wild..and the last time anyone active broke a million...HBO was in still boxing so they should have just aired this on regular showtime

How would you rank the fight cards put together by Top Rank, Matchroom and PBC?

I/e rank 1-3, who has put the best cards overall between:

PBC (Showtime/Fox)
Top Rank (ESPN)
Matchroom (DAZN)

They need to throw the Rigo vs Casimero fight on there.

Edit: Just seen Rigo got his own date! Imma try to be in the building for that fight! I think Rigo gets him outta there in 4.

Yo Pat you gotta chill on this narrative you've been building. Tyson and Jones were both athletes who were not only relevant in their sports, but culturally as well.

A fukking Trinidad vs. Vargas grudge match is not doing these types of numbers neither are most other matchups.

Tyson remains in a league of his own when it comes to capturing public intrigue.

Oh this is what it's like to properly "announce" fights

 

[patscorpio]

nery vs figueroa is FOTY on paper..and pure slugfest..the winner facing fulton in a unification is ..122 might be entering a new era

oubaali vs donaire is dope - oubaali either finishes off donaire or donaire pulls another rabbit out of his hat...i still think donaire took too much punishment from monster..the matias fight under it has a potential tobe something ridiculous

charlo vs montiel ..everything i keep saying about pbc 160 seems to be correct ..even my thought on why haymon would bring in kirkland...well kirkland getting ko'ed by montiel changed all that and now we have this..shocking

already dropped my thoughts on tank vs barrios - they need to get this boy off the regular belts...be like when robert guerrero was unifying interim belts and shyt
colbert vs gamboa - ..gamboa is a jobber to the stars now - thats it
lubin vs rosario - lubin is shaky and so is rosario..someone is getting ko'ed

benavidez vs uzcategui - a new common opponent between benavidez and plant...100 percent sure benavidez will stop uzcategui unlike a certain ibf 168 champ failed to do

charlo vs castano -154 is the model division of boxing, great fight..one of the best in boxing overall

rigo vs casimero is dope...rigo has a chance to get a legit belt and drop that nonsense reggie belt and maybe we get a fight set up with monster for unification or donaire/oubaali winner
