I’ve been saying it. Boxing has been BOOMING since about early 2017 and it’s only getting bigger with more lower weight stars being built. Almost every division is loaded with talent. On top of that the FOX and ESPN deals have helped bring it back to the sports mainstream a bit whether we want to admit it or not (note I said sports mainstream not general mainstream).

All of this while being in cruise control with the match making. Imagine if all the proper fights were actually taking place....

Boxing is easily the best sport to watch when its in top gear.

Also, want to add as someone who trains, the amount of options for gloves, equipment etc has damn near 10x’d over the last few years.

There used to only be a handful of known boxing gear brands....with social media that sh!t has exploded. The market is so big now for boxing equipment that there are several popular youtube channels that are dedicated to reviewing boxing equipment only, and they never run out of content.

This Sunny Edwards fight was irritating as fukk :mjlol:
I mean... good on him for being able to stick to his tactics and win the only way he can but God damn if this wasn't the textbook example of running :shaq2:
I don't think there was a single shot he put power behind during the whole fight, didn't even have that good defense in the pocket, he just... ran around all night so fast that Mthalane couldn't catch up frequently enough. When ppl calling Mayweather a runner what they really think is this shyt.

Hit and not get hit...Edwards did what he had to do against an aging champion who can still hit a ton

) Jose Ramirez vs Josh Taylor (May 22, ESPN+ and ESPN)

Canelo’s probably the biggest name fighter globally, even if Anthony Joshua is at the very least right there with him in purse money, and even if Jake Paul might actually be the biggest pay-per-view draw in boxing.
But the best fight this month is not the very good Canelo fight, it’s Ramirez-Taylor. This is for the undisputed championship at 140, No. 1 vs No. 2 however you rank them, all the marbles, and the winner very well could skirt right on up to 147 and be a very, very credible opponent for Terence Crawford, who badly needs one.

Facts
only punch he put any type of steam on was that hook to the body. Other than that, I had to turn that boring backfoot boxing ass performance off and do something else.

Fights like that, you watch the 1st 4 rds and realize this is what the whole fight gon look like .
