Dan Rafael chat wrap 12/11:

- The holdup with announcing Pacquiao's next fight is either: Pacquiao has not decided, or there is a holdup in signing the opponent to a contract. There is no conversations between Pacquiao and Floyd. Doubtful Khan is in the running.
- He is told that it is because Pacquiao cannot make up his mind between Bradley and Crawford.
- Has heard the rumors that Bradley prefers to fight Cotto rather than Pacquiao. Doubts it is likely. Promotional issues and lack of money (Cotto vs. Bradley is a bad PPV) likely will make the fight hard to make.
- The Pacquiao fight will be in Vegas.
- GGG and Canelo are working on a deal with the WBC today. Suspects that Canelo will be allowed an interim and parameters for a GGG-Canelo fight to take place.
- If GGG and Canelo fight, not sure if it takes place at 155, but doubts it takes place at 160.
- Most likely scenario is that GGG fights his mandatory Tureano Johnson in February.
- Would like to see GGG fight Jacobs, but it is not likely.
- There will be a purse bid for Glazkov vs. Martin. The belt has value, so one of Haymon's promoters and definitely Main Events will bid.
- The move makes sense for Glazkov. The fight is easier than fighting Wilder, no options to be given, good money, and if he wins there is more money defending the title.
- NBC's card is weak. Figueroa vs. DeMarco was originally supposed to be an undercard.
- Szpilka is a step up in opponent from Molina for Wilder, but still nothing special.
- Donaire should win tonight and there will not be a Rigo match. No one is really asking for it and no one wants to buy it.
- RJJ should KO Enzo. Also may determine who has the worst chin in boxing.
- Any progress on Rigo vs. Loma? After Rigo's performance on the Cotto PPV, this fight is very unlikely. He is unwatchable television.
- Luke Campbell can be a player in the lightweight division. He is talented and the division is fairly weak.
- Arreola fights are interesting because they are trainwreck slobber knockers.
- ODH and Arum are talking about Sadam Ali vs. Jessie Vargas early next year.
- Parker is his number 2 HW prospect behind Joshua. He has good power, speed, and size. Has been told he is a hard worker and Klitschko had him in camp and raved about him.
- Andre Ward is still elite...he just needs to fight.
- The Lee vs. Saunders winner will likely be in high demand for GGG, Jacobs, and Canelo. Likely who offers the best deal gets the fight.
- PBC makes weird matchups that often make no sense and don't tell an interesting story. PBC stated they were going to put on good matches, so far they rarely do that.
- The Quillin loss was a huge step back. Referee made the right call to stop the fight.
- Nothing new on Pritchard Colon.
- A future Walters vs. Gamboa fight is possible. HBO wants the fight.
- The Fury vs. Klitschko upset probably ranks top 10 all time (upsets).
- Only news he has heard regarding Badou Jack is some JCC talks.
- Word is that Broner vs. Theophane is set for January in Atlanta. Horrible fight.
- Linares vs. Dejan is close to being set. Good fight.
- Not sure what Khan is doing other than wasting his career. He needs to make the Brook fight.
- Possible that Brook may take his mandatoring, Bizier.
- Garcia vs. Guerrero is not horrible, just disappointing.
- Suspects the tournament to get Floyd's belt will be an 8 man tournament (Garcia and Guerrero are two).
- Not against a Cotto vs. Canelo rematch, but prefers not to see it.
- Arum has mentioned Postol and Matthysse as opponents for Crawford.
- If Tyson vs. Douglas had an immediate rematch who would he have picked? Tyson.
- A Gonzalez vs. Estrada rematch is most likely to happen in the summer, not in Gonzalez's fight in February.
- Nietes has been mentioned as a future Gonzalez opponent.
- Margarito is not proven to have cheated vs. Cotto, but it is highly suspected. He believes he did cheat and did so other times as well.
- Garcia vs. Khan 2 is not a PPV worthy fight.
- Still hearing that Thurman vs. Porter is possible for February on Showtime.
- Espinoza's rationale for PBC showing fights that would have been on Showtime on free TV is that it would be free exposure for Showtime fights. It is not working well for Showtime.
- Abraham is negotiating a title defense vs. Ramirez.
- In Christmas spirts, 12 fights he wants next year: 1. Kovalev-Stevenson, 2. GGG-Canelo, 3. Gonzalez-Inoue, 4. Khan-Brook, 5. Fury-Wilder/Joshua, 6. Crawford-Postol, 7. Thurman-Porter, 8. Kovalev-Ward, 9. Rios-Provodnikov, 10. Crawford-Matthysse, 11. LSC-GRJ, 12. Spence to end Broner's career.
- Ramirez selling 13k tickets for an easy fight is incredible. They won't even be able to give away 13k tickets to Garcia-Guerrero.
- Charles Martin deserving of being ranked IBF #2? No.
- Joshua vs. Whyte? Joshua via KO.
- HBO year end video:

I never liked to shadow box. That was the one exercise I hated to do, but on average I would prolly shadow box for 3-5 rounds and then proceed to do the same amount of rounds on the heavy bag, double end, speed, etc...


Breh you know of any cheap gyms around Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale ? Neggas asking 150 per month here

Off top nah. A lot of the boxing gyms I know of done closed breh.

It's like nowadays you gotta go towards Hollywood and Miami. You might wanna check out a PAL gym though. They usually be cheap, but the hours be kinda janky.

There used to be a gym out by Hillsboro in Deerfield where cats like Cory Spinks and Gatti use to come down and train, but I don't know if it's still open.

If you do find one, lemme know. Would love to start training again.

Lemieux fight had little boxing involved. Boxing is not standing there and punch. Lemieux had 0 footwork breh lol. I seen guys at my gym with better footwork lol but credit to GGG for making him pay for fighting like an amatuer

Question to my gym dudes.

How many rounds of shadowboxing can you do at one sequence ?

@patscorpio @krackdagawd @Newzz @LauderdaleBoss
I can do 5x3 with 15 seconds rest. I'd rather get busy on the heavy bag though, I can do 7-8 rounds on that shyt,
