Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

@patscorpio Gary Russell Jr, even though Hyland was a worthy opponent, looked great on Saturday. No struggle shown, dominant performance (again), and looked amazing doing what you're supposed to do to fighters of that caliber



Ima def need to see him vs Loma 1 more time, because something is odd about this. Against Loma, he was easy work, but yet GRJ has dominated every other person he's stepped in the ring against


Either Loma is a Boxing GAWD at that weight, or GRJ really did suffer due to his preferred method of losing weight


A rematch is definitely needed to set the story straight, because due to Loma vs GRJ 1, I cant accurately rate GRJ as I want too

He's right though. Pac can't cut off the ring. Even Nacho and Marquez said that. Pac is a HOFer no doubt but he is the best at getting in your face and closing the distance. He even plays in tour trap and trap u there lol. He adjusts pretty well as well. However Spence hands are heavy and he's very strong. He beat up Floyd in sparring, allegedly so tou know his confidence is up there .

Pac would make Spence think twice though. They're both southpaw lol. Pac chin is underrated too. Too early to crown Spence

I agree with his point but it is different if an analyst or a random guy online says it than it is when a young upstart fighter says it.

 

[Jello Biafra]

He did have a point there though....Pacquiao cant cut off a ring, just like Canelo cant. Doesn't mean Spence is better than Pac (he is though:smugbiden), but his point about cutting off a ring & fundamentals stands.


He's more technical than Pacquiao

But it comes off as c*nty for a kid in diapers to publicly criticize a legend like that. Especially when there is no chance of the two of them ever fighting one another.

wait Chop Chop has TWENTY-SEVEN losses????????///

Statements like this happen when your fighter gets beat 3 times by the same opponent brehs


Spence is too young, big, strong, athletic, and powerful for Manny breh....I'd suggest he leave Spence & Crawford alone and ride off into the sunset

Actually friend I look at it the same way I look at Manny fighting Canelo or someone else who can't match his speed. Crawford and Spence I don't think would have a chance to be able to deal with Manny's movement. I thought Manny was washed going into Bradley 3, but he clearly isn't. Has nothing to do with him beating Tim specifically, just how he did it.

But it doesn't make what he said any less true though breh. You're shooting the messenger imo

That was against Bradley though. Manny has looked good against Bradley all 3 times and always will, so it doesn't add any "maybe he's not washed" things to it, because he's not washed up. Also, Bradley doesn't bring power & size to the table or the same ring smarts/technical abilities that someone like Spence brings to the table.


Pacquiao vs Spence or Crawford is a losing effort imo. Only chance someone has of beating Spence is by hoping they can crack his chin, and if that turns out to be the case, Terry Norris 2.0 is a spot on comparision

wait Chop Chop has TWENTY-SEVEN losses????????///

yeah chop chop..not sure what went wrong there..he is not a bad fighter...but he just turned into a journeyman over time..but he is still a capable test for any up and comers floating around 135-147

 

[TheNig]

Im crowning him now



@TheNig let me on the bandwagon through the side gate a few fights ago, and it was a wise decision for my stanning career to pick him up before the value jumped too high



#SpenceSet is not a crew name either....I seen a few dallas posters saying that during the fight thread, but nah. Any #set name belongs to #swiftset and them only



@TheNig needs to think of a name so I can toss it in the sig along with #AboutBillions, #SOGGang, & #HammerHeads

Yall know good and hell well I ain't as witty as yall work them names. Only names I started that caught on were #KhanCudi #KronksFinest and #TheWolverine.


But yeah... #SpenceSet is kinda weak.

i dont think lomachenko is a boxing gawd at that weight..he still has that blemish which he himself can prolly now try to right since he is fukking around at 130...but i do want to see this rematch..especially on some unification shyt

Live from the UK

 

[Newzz]

@TheLukieBaby great article on Broner breh


Fair on both sides and you really hit both sides of the argument


Too bad most of the Boxing media crops out the good things and shows only the bad, instead of painting the whole picture as you just did today

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Spence vs Canelo next year? Do y'all think that can go down?
