Simple question.


If Deontay Wilder was White...you're telling me he wouldn't be a big star in Boxing?:jbhmm:


If Jermell & Jermall Charlo were Mexican Twins....you're telling me they wouldn't be big stars in Boxing?:jbhmm:


If Terence Crawford was Puerto Rican....you're telling me he wouldn't be a big star in Boxing?:jbhmm:


:usure:




African Americans do NOT support our fighters like other races support theirs. If that's false, have some examples proving otherwise:comeon:


I don't think guys in this era fight enough to generate any attention. People in general have a poor attention span.

Once a lot of these guys make it to the championship level, they aren't really active. GGG is like one of the only guys in recent years that stayed active at the championship level.

If you aren't going to do the things it take to develop interest outside the ring, like a Broner, then you need to fight. That's all I can say.

Also,

Mayweather seemed to have an obsession with being a star and made the proper moves to become one (paying arum, dancing with the stars, WWE, chasing Oscar, etc).

I couldn't imagine any of these guys on WWE or dancing with the stars. They just want to stay in the house and fight once a year.

alot of fighters retiring

if this is true and it sticks :salute:..stole the show from canelo-cotto in jaw dropping fashion with vargas (who should also be thinking about retirement himself)..knocked billy dib the fukk out...put on a pure throwback FOTY candidate with roman...i honestly thought his fight with berchelt was him just soundly getting outboxed and not as punishing as other losses..but i guess you gotta know when to say when

Takashi Miura announces his retirement

Takashi Miura announces his retirement
7/28/2017

1 Comment


Takashi Miura (31-4-2, 24) [三浦 隆司] announcing, over twitter, that he was retiring in the wake of his recent loss to current WBC Super Featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt (32-1, 28).

During the fight with Berchelt we saw a determined Miura look off the pace, a sign that his long an hard career was catching up with him, and although he had moments he never looked like the man formerly dubbed the "Mexecutioner". Instead he looked like a shop worn and weary version of the fighter who went through wars with the likes of Yoshimitsu Yashiro, Takashi Uchiyama, Sergio Thompson, Francisco Vargas and Miguel Roman.

In announcing his decisiom Miura stated he didn't regret his career at all and fulfilled his dreams of being a boxing, and went further than he imagined when he fought in the US, thanking the fans for their support.

Given the timing of this announcement, only days after his loss to Berchelt, it seems likely that Miura knows he's not the fighter he used to be and is getting out before taking too much punishment.

Whilst it's a shame that Miura that Miura was unable to reclaim the title it's great that he's walking away on his terms, and from the bottom of our hearts we want to say thank you to Takashi for his career, his fights, his performances and all the great memories he's given us. It's really been a pleasure, and we wish you all the best in your post boxing life.

Thank you "Left Bomber".
