Bellew is just one if the most unbearable pricks in this sport.
The guy has no style at all he just literally cursing and talking trash and he is very cocky only if I would now for what...?
It was really satisfying after all that parade Stevenson bounced his head and KOd him but sadly he is back in the mix since. Haye would KTFO him even at this age, no doubt. Bellew is nothing really extra.
I'm rooting for the kid. Time for a new era
If he keeps winning, will he be in Creed 2 ...He really was just playing himself in the movie Creed

God forgives, you are forgiven.
Ufc stans have really hyped up their "matchmaking". Do not believe the half truths fam. The biggest fights in MMA have almost never happenedMMA matchamaking is better than boxing matchmaking, that's true but you know that the only reason for this is that in MMA is younger so that means it's less fukked up by politics yet right?
I don't say that what you say it's not true but there's no point in rumbling about it and comparing it to a sport which is not even 20 years old or so, just blew up recently and one single organization holds all the aces so far.
Let's see how good MMA matchmaking and politics are 50 years from now or so, that would be a better starting point for a comparison...
Let's see what happens when MMA gets 3-4 Dana Whites all with their own agendas, goals, fighters, connections, etc... and not just one
Easy to talk about smooth matchmaking if someone is in a monopoly position is an up and coming sport...
Anderson vs gsp
Fedor in the ufc
Anderson vs jon jones
Ronda vs cyborg.
Ronda vs cyborg is probably the worst of the worst when you find out ronda fought at 145 and offered to fight gina carano who hasn't fought in this decade at the higher weight , but ronda and her fans will say she shouldn't fight cyborg at 145.
Also the recent bisping vs henderson title fight rematch, NOBODY asked for that fight. The closest boxing equivalent i can think of right now would be matthysse having a career resurgence in the next few years and becoming champ, then giving zab a title shot
There are plenty of other examples which kill the "ufc has good matchmaking" myth.
Lemiuex a top 10-20 puncher p4p? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahh

He's KOd 32 of his 38 career opponents though breh...that is rather high imo
Are there 20 fighters today who have a higher KO ratio than Lemieux has (84%)?

Level of competition? Yea he knocking out Tapia, and Gabe Rosado (both jokes btw) but what's he doing against good competition? Nothing because he doesn't face any.
BRONER AND EASTER JR. COULD SHARE DEC. CARD

Robert Easter Jr. and Adrien Broner could share the same card in respective bouts on December 17.
Easter Jr., who won the vacant IBF lightweight title in a difficult fight against Richard Commey on Sept. 9, is eyeing a return to the ring in December, Robert Easter Sr. told RingTV.com on Friday. Broner, who is something of a mentor to Easter, is targeting a comeback on December 17, and it’s possible the two Ohio residents could share the same card, according to Michael Stafford, who trains Broner and helps out Easter Sr. with his son. Broner (32-2, 24 knockouts) and Easter (18-0, 14 KOs) fought on the same Spike show on April 1.
“That’s a possibility,” Stafford told RingTV.com of a double-bill with Broner and Easter. “Adrien would like that. That would be a real treat (for the fans) to have them fighting together. We may even throw in (bantamweight titleholder) Rau’shee Warren in there too on the card.”
The venue is still up in the air as opponents are vetted, said Stafford, who described Broner’s fight in December as a “tune-up” before a possible title challenge in 2017 with junior welterweight belt-holder Ricky Burns of Scotland. Stafford said Broner was fine and in good spirits after he posted a number of disturbing messages on social media on Wednesday that suggested he was thinking of committing suicide.
“He was just going through stuff with his girlfriend,” Stafford said. “He came to the gym the same day. I think they worked it out. Now he’s going to take a little trip to Vegas to see a few friends. He’ll come back and then it’s back to business.” Broner has been spotted in Vegas palling around with frenemy Floyd Mayweather Jr.
As for Easter’s fight in December, it likely won’t come against Jose Pedraza, the IBF junior lightweight champion, who has publicly called out Easter Jr. as someone he’d like to face. “We’ll get the name out shortly,” Easter Sr. told RingTV.com. “We have a couple people in mind but the name is not going to get out there yet.”
Pedraza isn’t on that shortlist of opponents but perhaps it’s a fight that can be made in 2017, Easter said. “That’s a possibility,” he said. “If he wants to be that big of a fool to do that. We’ll have a name shortly. Whoever has belts, we can come and get them.”
December 17th huh?
I can be there

I respect Broner for what he does. Really you can tell dude has no education and no self control when he opens his mouth, but the good thing is he's business say and looks out for his fighters. Broner is one of a kind. There's no other boxers out there with a better roster than him and he's just getting started.
I hope the breh is okay mentally. Lotta stress to deal with and then realizing tour friends are only cool with you cuz you have papers. Then you feel lonely.
Hope he recovers and gets himself better. I'd rather see him out here acting stupid and making haters mad than reading about this depression stuff man.

trying to sell this fight...pathetic
Welcome to the new age of Boxing where fans only criticize one side. You got other boxers who refuse to admit they are the A side but wanna be the A++ side instead of giving a good match. Then nobody says they're ducking or call em out when they picked a Colt 45 or Goya to fight.
Meanwhile another side is heavily criticized. Yes it is well warranted as well.
Boxing is suffering because os fans like us. We refuse to be objective and put blame where it belongs, unless it's another fighter we don't like.
U welcome.

Very accurate statement. He's top 10 MW imo. That also shows how weak the division is and how poor boxing 8s doing now
