I’ve been doing a deep dive on boxing in Japan recently, took at look at the wowwow excite page (one of their boxing shows/channels)...they have a profile page which is done better than anything I’ve seen, and they pull NO punches when it comes to the accuracy of where the fighter is in their career.

Spence “kidnapped” the fight against Pac from Crawford lol.

Check this link and scroll through the profiles.

“Starting with the light weight title, four groups are unified in the super light weight. And now, the genius switch hitter is at its peak in the welterweight division. In November of last year, former IBF champion Kell Brook finished with a momentary chance opened up with a right blow. He showed not only high level of skill and bang, but also strength. Pound for Pound (throughout all classes) has also gained the strongest reputation alongside Canelo Alvarez, but the craving big match is never realized due to contract promotion. The once rumored match against Pacquiao was kidnapped by rival Spence. The 32-year-old absolute champion keeps waiting for the day when he hears from the best stage.”

all because TR took offense to what teddy was saying after the pacquiao-horn fight..now he only shows up on TR international cards


Atlas said nothing wrong that night. That was a blatant robbery. Blatant corruption. Somebody should have put a hole in Bob's head a long time ago. The same thing that happened to Manny that night is gonna happen to Crawford if he doesn't stop his opponent during his last fight with TR.

Atlas been just annoying period, the kind of guy who never had a moderate opinion in his entire life imo, guess that makes for good TV for a while but it gets annoying when he talks in extremes all the time like his opinion would be the only right one out there.

Not necessarily bro. Wilder is dangerous for a full 12. That right hand is a game changer no matter what the circumstances & Fury knows it. If Fury tries to come out walking Wilder down like before there's no element of surprise any more & I think Wilder should more mentally prepared for whatever. I still think he loses but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he slumps Fury

I know what you trying to say and i agree to an extent. But the way Fury slipped every right hand in the 2nd fight with ease was crazy. You rarely see a pure boxer have problems again with a fighter that they have figured out like that. It all depends if Wilder has improved major weakness which is a tall order to do in such a short span. We'll see if this fight ever happens again.

Lara, Trout, BJS

Jacobs a switch hitter if you wanna count him
Interesting..those fights weren't easy...I watched the 2nd half of the 2nd ggg fight...it's obvious..he can't get out of the way of a fast reactive left hand....head movement was great for the 1st half of the 10th round. Ggg did a 1-1-2 and tagged him even after that. That's late round stuff though...tire him out. The way to knock out Canelo is to the body..the stamina issue is credible but he usually is ahead on that card before it becomes a legit issue. That left keeps getting to him..Lara proved that...Saunders did very well before the 2 back to back shots to the eye.

His fanboys shouldn't count Andrade and Spence out against Canelo....

Well he has to fight Wilder or he'll be stripped.

That's because he caught Wilder & his team off guard by walking him down. That element of surprise is gone which is why I mentioned Wilder is probably more mentally prepared now than he was for the rematch. Fury would still need to be locked in for a full 12 if he wants to avoid getting clipped. To me & most, that's a fact
