[charknicks]

I remember your posts too breh, that's why I didn't get all with you like I do random newbies



You should post more. I encourage all Boxing heads to post more...makes this thread much better with different views/opinions and then it's all settled every weekend when somebody is proved wrong/right



i.e. #PorterHouse about to make an example out of #Thurminators



@LauderdaleBoss is usually on my side during these type of events, we mostly side with the same fighter, but this time it's different because he rolling with Shopping Cart Keith


@King P my homie, but we about to go to war because he riding with Keith "Whiplash" Thurman



I love these big fight weekends

Preciate that. I will try to post more in the future. Like you said, love these big fight weekends too. Been looking forward to Porter-Thurman for a year now. Love reading all the insight and viewpoints on the thread. Old boxing footage that people bring up. Old fighters that people keep in our minds. The @GREENandYELLOW Friday at 3pm update of the Rafael chat gets my ready for the weekend. (by the way, Rafael is on GGG's nuts like Windhorst is all on LeBron's nuts. These dudes need a hobby) Anyway, the game has been around for a long time. This thread gives more info/ insight then dedicated boxing forums. To all, keep up the boxing love!

Latest Boxing News
Pacquiao vs Broner!?
By Michael Woods
on June 24, 2016

The rumor is making the rounds, hard, on the social media tonight.

Manny Pacquiao versus Adrien Broner.

The Senator and the colorful character from Cincinnati…

Yeah?

Could it be?

Broner trainer Mike Stafford, counting down to an ESPN headliner date with client Jamel Herring, didn’t shoot down Broner-Pacquiao when I asked him about it. “Bob Arum and Al Haymon been talking,” Stafford told me. “We want the names. Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, Danny Garcia. We need these name fights, things slowing down.”

Then, I asked Pacman advisor Michael Koncz if he could speak to the Manny v Broner….

“Not yet,” he replied.

Hmm…Maybe there is something to this…

Nah...that Fk you goes to Fortuna for being such a vulnerable Champion who also had the nerve of being cocky as well


Walters easily beat Sosa imo, and got left with a draw for his efforts. Maybe he can force a rematch for the belt

Tom Loeffler wants to put Canelo verbal agreement into a contract
Mitch Abramson
June 23, 2016

Tom Loeffler, who promotes Gennady Golovkin, will press Golden Boy about putting the verbal agreement for Canelo Alvarez to meet Golovkin in the fall of 2017 into a written contract to make the deal binding.

“We have to have something in writing,” Loeffler told RingTV.com on Thursday. “I think that’s the next step for it to be realistic is to have a binding agreement. They made it clear it wouldn’t be in September of this year so we’re looking at September of next year. If we’re going to base Gennady’s schedule around fighting Canelo next year, we’re going to have to have some firm commitment.”

Loeffler is confident it will happen. “I have a good relationship with Golden Boy,” he said. “I’m in regular contact with (Golden Boy VP) Eric Gomez and we look forward to finalizing everything.”

With Alvarez no longer in the immediate picture, Loeffler expects a deal to be finalized for Golovkin to face England’s Chris Eubank Jr. (22-1, 17 KOs) this September in England if Eubank is successful against undefeated Tom Moran on Saturday. The talks have progressed to the point where if Eubank wins, a deal could be reached shortly.

“Hopefully we can finalize the agreement with him if everything goes the right way on Saturday,” Loeffler said. “We’ll finalize the date and the venue once Eubank commits to the fight after Saturday.”

Golovkin plans to fight twice more in 2016 and twice next year before the proposed September showdown with Alvarez, Loeffler said. One of those fights in 2017 will likely land in Golovkin’s native Kazakhstan, where there is a 38,000 seat stadium waiting for him, Loeffler said. “That will be his homecoming fight,” he said. “We’ve been trying to figure out when the right time to do that fight is and next year makes sense.”

Loeffler initially reached out to WBO middleweight titleholder Billy Joe Saunders once it became clear Canelo was out of the question for the fall “because that’s the last title that Gennady is missing.”

He soon realized, however, the fight wouldn’t happen this year. “For as much as Saunders says that he wants to fight Gennady, the way those negotiations went it was pretty clear he wants no part of Gennady,” Loeffler said. “And that’s ok. If he wants to keep the title and make small title defenses, that’s ok. If you want to prove that you are a world champion and at the top of the division, there’s a different way to go about that.”

Loeffler is hopeful the fight will happen with Alvarez, and he was looking through rose colored lenses when he said facing Canelo in 2017 was nothing compared to the marathon negotiations that took place to make Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao last May.

“I don’t think Caneo is afraid to fight anyone,” Loeffler said. “I think he wants to fight Gennady. I think from the marketing side and the promotional side they were looking at building it up. And it’s only a year away so I can’t fault them for that. It’s not a five-year process like we saw with Floyd. If it was our decision, we would fight Canelo a lot sooner.”

I don't blame them for wanting a contract in writing...I would too


Saunders


GGG vs Eubank is a match I would like to see....GGG in England

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Got dayum...

He had that nikka slow dancing with the ref and shyt.

Good KO/Win

at Fortuna. Sloppy boxing always comes back to haunt you.

Porter is due for that reminder as well
(normally I'm a Porter dude too, but the home team needs me.....#Thurminators/Florida)

 

[Jello Biafra]

Considering how out of shape Fury looked at the press conference announcing the fight I am not shocked by him pulling out.

"I could care less, man...it's not my division...it is weird...obviously that far out, there's no real hard evidence of a contract...just sit back and wait for some more news...don't jump to conclusions...it's weird, Canelo's been competing at 155, right, the dumbest catchweight in the world," stated undefeated welterweight champion Keith Thurman, who shared his thoughts on news that Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin will be on hold until fall of 2017. Check it out!



Canelo should call him out at 154 and then see what's what

That's actually an good fight and would do ##s. Have Thurman ko a few 154 jobbers and this will do a lot more than Canelo/Khan.

ladder drills are the best way to increase your foot coordination and quickness. so here are a few good ones.

focus on minimizing your touch time on each foot.

move your back foot into the box and sweep your front foot across the box.

move each foot into each box in succession. one foot comes in. one foot comes out.

start in a square stance and stance switch in and out.

heres a few more.



in boxing you have to transfer your body weight from leg to leg and/or press down and push off of one foot a lot. so heres some 1 leg plyometric jumps to make each leg really good at working on its own.

where ladders drills will improve your coordination and quickness 1 leg plyo jumps will improve your explosiveness and sense of balance. all very important and specific to boxing. you can incorporate a few of these exercises into your shadowboxing routine. you may recognize a few of these here.



these exercises are going to increase your agility, stability, and strength, but the best footwork exercise for boxing is to just go into the ring and move around. theres a lot of fancy things you can do but the best thing you can do to practice boxing footwork is to go into the ring and practice boxing footwork.

Figured I'd drop my Yuzo pack off in here for the brehs since I can't box for another 3 months and spar for another 6 been running these w my son though they legit.

But I was told Canelo was a middleweight and couldn't make 154

You mean to tell me this whole time Canelo wasn't a middleweight

Fat Dan n his homies been telling me the opposite this whole time meanwhile us nikkas with sense were telling dudes fans don't get to decide at what weight a nikka fights at.

 

[reservoirdogs]

At least the WBO won't be held as a hostage.
154 is a strong weight class it wouldn't deserve that
