Norman won

Norman won

From what you seen, did he win for real or is it a biased decision?

Norman was too big and too strong, and dude was a legit boxer with a winning record. IDK why people felt he was a bum. Only thing I will say he gassed out, Greg is slick and tricky but was too damn small lol

"Shawn Porter usually calls me all the time. Him working for Shakur for this fight is some corny shyt. I'm from Brooklyn NY ride or die, we don't do that"

Don't bring Brooklyn NY into this

For the people saying "Oh alot of Boxing matches are in Saudi Arabia, Boxing is dead" are kind of full of shyt

There are Riyad Season cards this year. Ryan Garcia vs Rollie and Haney vs Jose Ramirez are rumored to be in New York City. The Canelo vs Crawford are rumored to be in Las Vegas. Not a single peep from that. And if people do talk about it, it's "Oh man, it's gonna be in a stadium, that's gonna suck"

It's a reasonable trade off imo. Long as Turki keeps pumping out 50/50 type bouts I have no problem with throwing Saudi Arabia a few bones a year. It's hilarious seeing people complain about Canelo fights no one cares about being in Riyadh. Canelo vs Scull is the exact type of fights I want over in Riyadh
And I never heard people shyt on stadium fights until Crawford got one . Ain't the Wemberly Stadium fights the most hyped up events in the sport. Now a bunch of nikkas who will be begging for links are worried about sight lines, foh. People were actually hyping up Spence v Fundora of all fights being in Dallas stadium but now it's a problem

Oh wow. Then on paper Greg about to get cooked.

Didn't see the fight but I knew Greg was in trouble when I saw Norman Sr's body. Not sure why but I just assumed Norman was as hell. Naw, old head damn near had a six pack and had visible muscles. Greg is normally loud and aggressive 24/7 but he was unusually quiet and subdued at that weigh in/face off

Insaid same thing, Norman got a fat nikka head but when i seen him at the weigh in i was like greg is cooked. At the fight Norman Sr was waaaaaay biggerand stronger than Greg. greg is a little guy but he is super slick and crafty.

I knew he was cooked when I seen that 3 wins 23 losses record

Can't have it both ways. Somehow in the modern era, Boxing not in America = Boxing is dead

Pre-1990, it would very very normal for fighters to fight overseas
Sugar Ray Robinson fought ALOT overseas
Joe Louis fought alot overseas
Muhammad Ali fought alot overseas
Sugar Ray Leonard and Marving Hagler fought alot overseas

Shawn Porter on his podcast said he never even fought outside of America his whole career. shyt has always been odd to me. Boxing isn't "dead". It's just that most of the fans just suck

You seeing Crawford/Canelo in person?

 

[R=G]

He too uninformed/unarticulate to say "Devin was the man, and Ryan beat the man, and I beat the man who beat the man" lol.

The Ducking Devint thing I took as "you are BFFs with Turki, and if y'all tryna get me to fight at ya BFF house I know its impossible to get a decision so y'all better give me every damn thing I want". I will say Turki seems to not give a fukk who takes an L or not and I think he over estimates Turki and Devins relationship (because unless Devin is an idiot he could have leveraged Turki post loss and kept his 140 belt).

I think assuming Shakur and Tank take care of business, things should interesting come April. In all reality Tank vs Shakur should co-main Bud vs Canelo if we really talking about a generational boxing card

Tank better fight somebody real before his little self exile...thats all I care about...

Yeah I'm thinking about it, I definitely want to go
