Little g vs the corpse of margarito
Word I'm looking forward to artur's next fight. He needs to somehow drop down to 168 though unless he's okay with being a career number 2 now that the #sog is at 175
that is true...mercer did beat lennox by the way..but when he wasn't in shape like that...marion wilson fight
..nevermind him getting boxed up by larry holmes:ehhh:
i pick ortiz
yup
not a bad fight at all but i think lee needs a little tune up first before that
bad financial decision because lemieux couldn't make his catchweight? if lemieux still wanted to fight he should have anted up
me too..i really see if i can get this west coast trip poppin
that would be a good start to making that card or palatable for ppl to get
it is...especially since trout has become more offensive as of late
this was a thing
this was one of the fights ive always heard and read about, but it never aired on US TV and i never downloaded it
..so i woke up early for no reason and decided to put the chromecast on my bedroom TV to use and stream it from my phoneI can see why it got the honors it got...WHAT A FIGHT!!!!
prime cotto was 140; prime tito was 154....hmmmm
yup

I wonder if he'd be able to secure fights at 168 cause I could see him getting ducked something serious.
GGG my dude, but they can't keep harping on him wanting to unify 160 when it's clear that a fight with Canelo and/or BJS is going to be a PAIN to make. Might as well look into fighting Jacobs, Lara, etc.

God forgives, you are forgiven.
That unifying excuse is some bs for his shytty opposition. He could still fight the guys you listed and unify later which is what he's gonna have to do anyways. Maybe he and his team want to make sure he keeps his belt until he gets canelo and take 0 risks. There's really no reason he didn't fight lara when not only would he be the best name on his resume, but hbo approved it so nobody can say anything about networks or haymon.

hope they get that Crawford-postol fight done...good to hear both managers on both sides say they working on it.
umm walters aint that big of a draw but maybe a bit more none because of the donaire fight. plus loma not a big draw either and with them going vs berto-ortiz head to head the tv rating could drop a bit. I think he should take 500k especially if his highest purse only 300k..
but then again walters see these fighters getting paid million dollars for easy opps and probably wants some of that too for a stiff test.

@Newzz if you going to the Broner fight, chocolate city will be out in effect
Away from home and with Ashley Theophane
:BandCampShining: legitimately sold over 6,200 tickets
They on pace to do Peterson/Khan #'s :BandCampShining:
Cause his last fight they tried to rob him and they want him to reup his contract with em
Also Loma got 750k to fight a nobody while hbo told us he was a "P4P" talent
Why can't Walters get that typa money to fight a "P4P" opponent

If Walters previous purse was 300k, why he asking for 1 million?

Ay Pat @patscorpioGary Russell Misses 30-Day Weight Check, Hyland Fight in Doubt
By Jake Donovan
It’s been nearly a year since Gary Russell claimed the World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight title. He is now at risk of losing the belt without making a single defense.
The 27-year old boxer from the greater Washington D.C. area is due to face Patrick Hyland on April 16 at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. However, he first needs to comply by the WBC’s rules, which requires all participants submit to 30- and 7-day pre-fight safety weight checks, to ensure that boxers are not losing an abnormal amount of weight in a short period of time.

WBC champions and challengers cannot weigh more than 10% over the contracted limit 30 days out and no more than 5% over the limit at the seven-day pre-fight mark. As Russell and Hyland are fighting at 126-pounds, both fighters must weigh in at no heavier than 139-pounds (12.6, or 10% of 126, rounded up to 13-pounds).
Hyland (31-1, 15KOs) came in within the limit at a healthy 137.7 lbs. 30 days out, according to the records submitted by WBC inspectors. The 32-year old contender from Ireland – entering his first full title fight – has also completed all of his pre-fight medical work, save for having to submit a blood sample.
As for Russell – much like the majority of his pre-title competition, his information is TBA.
“We have not received the (required) information yet,” WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman informed BoxingScene.com via text Friday evening.
Russell has not yet submitted his pre-fight medicals or 30-day weight check, both of which are in violation of WBC Championship rules 4.2-4.5 and 4.14, respectively. Rumors of his being too far above the 10% overage limit were suggested as the reason for not scheduling a 30-day check, although such whispers remain largely unconfirmed.
Failure to comply by such rules “may result in the WBC taking such actions as it deemed appropriate in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, imposing fines, suspensions, removal from the ratings, revocation of challenger status and opportunities, or vacating a title.”
Such determination has not yet been made by the WBC as this goes to publish.
Should the bout go on as scheduled, it will headline the April 16 edition of Showtime Championship Boxing. Also to be included on the show, Jose Pedraza makes the second defense of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) super featherweight title as he faces mandatory challenger Stephen Smith from England.
Both bouts were rescheduled from previously separate dates in March. The idea of a Pedraza vs. Smith was pitched for several planned shows, but ultimately defaulted on a previous agreement Lou DiBella – who promotes Pedraza and Hyland – and Smith’s promoter, Eddie Hearn reached in accordance with IBF rules. The sanctioning body reordered a purse bid, with DiBella serving as the sole bidder after having worked out an agreed upon financial package for Smith’s side.
Russell vs. Hyland was due to land on the eventually canceled March 12 show that would aired live both on free-to-air CBS in primetime and on Showtime – with the featherweight clash landing on the latter end.
The headlining bout was to be Keith Thurman in a welterweight title defense versus Shawn Porter. However, the unbeaten Floridian suffered a car accident and was forced to postpone the bout to June, with its remaining parts now spread out over various cards.
Of the four major fights attached to the card, Russell vs. Hyland was the first to get reassigned, but now officially in jeopardy.
Russell has not fought since his win over Gonzalez. A title defense versus Oscar Escandon was planned for last November, only for Russell to suffer an injury and have to withdraw. The D.C.-area featherweight was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic boxing team, but passed out due to dehydration at the weigh-in the morning of his scheduled opening round fight.
His pro setbacks have come from injuries, while having suffered just one defeat – a 12-round decision to two-time Olympic Gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko in their June ’14 vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight title fight. The latest folly in his career comes on the heels of his 19-year old brother, Gary Antoine Russell being eliminated from competition in the Americas Olympic Qualifiers, with a second chance coming in June in order to make the 2016 U.S. Olympic male boxing team to compete in Rio.
A ruling on this particular title fight is expected to be made in the coming days. The final decision will determine whether a late submission by Russell Jr. (if one comes at all) will be accepted, if he is stripped of the title, or if the fight simply goes on as planned and he is disciplined in other ways as previously cited in the WBC rules.
