I think that I've fallen out of love with boxing. And I don't know why.

It's been a 180 for me. I love Boxing even more now
My 3 favorite sports have always been Basketball, Boxing, and Tennis

Before I had Tennis as my 2nd favorite sport at times. Now Boxing is firmly my 2nd favorite sport now. The combination of people fulfilling their dreams getting a World title and a sport that is so intellectual that you are always learning makes me love it

This guy sparred Cuevas AKA the boxing Russell Wilson stunt double, Boots, & Norman Jr. He emphasizes that Jr. can punch but to me what makes him so dangerous for Boots on paper & from what I saw in the Cuevas fight, was his fast trigger, his ability to punch with & in between shots which I believe will be Boots undoing one day. Whether Jr. can do that against Boots is to be seen but Boots gets caught with stupid shyt & very clean shots every fight. It's just a matter of time before he runs into someone his size with some pop that can counter to exploit that

I've seen Norman Jr in real life he isn't a big guy, but I do feel the more experience he gets he will be a problem in the future. Folks forget how young he is

Got damn y’all bodied the Bud haters in here :picard:
You can argue Bud got a better resume than Spence. He got better performances against common opponents, he won the head to head match up in devastating fashion, and in retrospect ppl question the hype some of those PBC fighters got at the time. The thing that puts Bud resume over Spence for me is the excellent work across multiple divisions. If it was JUST WW resume I'd put Spence over Bud but it ain't

And ppl need to make up their mind about Turki
Is he sport washing or is he losing sleep because Riyadh cards don't sell? It certainly looks like sport washing and he has said as much so making money isn't necessarily the primary goal.
This not Haymon taking payday loans for every event and losing purse bids, it's not Arum shytting on his own fighters so he can low ball them later, and it ain't hearn who let a unification fall through over $300k. Y'all gotta stop viewing his pockets like these other dudes pockets. In fact he pay them now :whew: .
Turk got Al and Bob in a group chat being besties now so they can save their businesses. Boxing is in a different place now because of him

Nobody bodied the Bud "haters." Even Shakur just came out and disagreed with his "big bro" Bud and said Spence is a hall of famer.

Bud is literally just hating. He got the dub and is still salty about Spence. For whatever reason. Spence still has him bothered. Probably because he knows Spence is still a bigger star than he is. That was his biggest fight and still, no one gives a fukk about his ugly ass. Not even his own momma likes his ass.

Bud is mentally delayed as shyt. He thinks this low of Spence but spent years chasing that fight. Make it make sense. Imagine chasing a nikka that you think so low of lol. Bud is fukkin retarded, ugly, has fukked up teeth and his wife is shaped like a refrigerator. L's everywhere. nikka's whole family ugly asf. You know it's bad when your own momma was paying neighborhood kids to beat you up because she ain't respect the bytch in you.

Spence might have lost the fight. But at least his mom loves him. And his girl is fine asf.
