Manny pacquaio started da fake injury after getting his ass kicked wave. Spence has been silent for a good six months, I'll cut him a little slack lol.

People are focusing on da eye stuff but he also said he wasnt "living like a boxer". In other words, putting the blame on himself for not preparing properly.
Just some hype for potential rematch to sell..but nobody buying it, oh well.

I hate announcements like this, especially announcements that are released during the week of a fight. It always gives off a bad energy

If Beterbiev wins, then it's nothing. But it gives unnecessary pressure or overlooking the opponent. Why do Boxing promoters never learn? lol
In this case the promoter who talked on this - Hearn - doesn’t want Beterbiev vs Bivol to happen because he’d like to see Smith beating Beterbiev so it makes sense.
But he picked a wrong guy to try to play mental games with cause Beterbiev wob’t be fazed by this or the disingenous talk about his (negative) ped test

they need to make this happens lollllllllllllllllll she made clarisssa look like a little girl ...
They shouldn’t make it happen, they are 5 divisions apart :dahell:
What’s up with the boxing world not respecting weight categories recently?
Only way this could happen if they’d increase Baumgardner’s PED intake to make her a 160er in a few months :mjgrin:

Shawn Porter is the weak link on Pro Boxing TV. If he doesnt step it up they gotta drop him.
I like Porter a lot both as a fighter and as a person based on what I see from him but yes he needs to step up his boxing knowledge to hang with the others. It sounds like he only has elaborate opinions on guys he came up with or those who are the most known guys, his knowledge dissipates when the topic is about lesser-known or non-US fighters, and lower divisions.

some people are questioning how/why Spence would have cataracts at his age and how that got pass the pre-fight exam
basically suggesting the eye got injured somehow during the Bud fight :sas2:
when all that money is on the line these promoters and fighters find way to beat all these damn tests

this fighter talks about being half blind and still getting fights

it happens...there are a good amount of fighters that have eye issues and find ways to get around eye exams and licensing

shyt antonio margarito had his whole eye fukked up by pac...NY is strict about that and thats where the cotto-margarito rematch took place..they def had to drop some money and some influence to let margarito fight here

you have to remember spence wanted to fight pac with a detached retina...of which if he did pac would have prolly ended his career

its one of the things in boxing i hate..when fighters gamble with their eyesight
