Can't take a lot from these vids but he has definitely lost a step hasn't he Genuinely think him vs AJ comes down to who is least shot

Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy impressions? At this point, I genuinely think it is an issue with my brain

This is the elite level of pedantry I am here for @karelprince_

A fight can be both 100% agree though! People don't get the nuance in scorecards You could have 12 competitive rounds and a 120-108 card
There’s been a mixed reaction to this decision. I personally thought Puello won. I wouldn’t classify this fight as a Blatant Robbery. It was a CLOSE fight. Although I thought Puello won or it was a Draw. There is a difference between a CLOSE FIGHT and COMPETITIVE FIGHT.

This highlights just how the whole scoring system is messed up 3 people I have huge respect for are struggling to articulate how to get to a definitive objective result [@BoxingShowPod 5.0]

Always argued the only reason mored boxers don't take PEDs is the risk of being caught and the stigma of being a cheat Generalisation alert but I imagine a large proportion of boxers are looking for any small advantages they can get away with
The Iv should also be LEGAL its only water and salt going back into the bodies system

Say what you want about the Mcgugians but they guided Josh Taylor-Carl frampton flawlessly to there world titles.

So much to unpack here and so similar to Fury-Joshua contracts Blows my mind how many deals are supposedly done in boxing without having every single detail covered Imagine agreeing an 11 fight deal with no specific opponents included Absolutely worthless
In October 2018, Canelo Alvarez signed an 11-fight deal with DAZN worth 365 million dollars, the largest contract any professional athlete had ever signed. He fought three times under it. In 2020, DAZN refused to pay the guaranteed purse for his next fight. Alvarez sued DAZN, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and its CEO Oscar De La Hoya, seeking 280 million dollars in damages. In the video below, he explains what made him realize there was no loyalty in De La Hoya. He says Golden Boy signed a separate deal with DAZN promising he would fight certain opponents, but his own contract with Golden Boy never actually required him to take those fights. When DAZN refused to confirm or pay for his next match, he was caught between two contracts that did not match each other. The lawsuit went through mediation. It failed. Alvarez was released from the deal entirely. Three fights into an eleven fight contract, he walked away as a free agent. The case for Golden Boy and De La Hoya is that they built the richest deal in boxing history and made Alvarez the highest paid fighter in the sport. The case against them is that when the money stopped moving, Alvarez found out his own contract never actually protected him. Here’s the lesson. A historic number on paper means nothing if the fine print lets two companies point at each other. Should Alvarez have trusted the people who built his biggest deal, or was walking away the only way to actually get paid?

Imagine explaining this fight to a casual fan and expecting the country to stop As highly as I rate Dalton, I'd be amazed if any of my mates know who he is They know Conor Benn fought Eubank and might be aware he got knocked out the other week Then you've got Matchroom vs Zuffa...
‼️ @TonyBellew is KEEN to see @daltonsmith08 🆚 @ConorNigel: "If Dalton Smith fights Conor Benn, it takes over this whole country." (via @DAZNBoxing)

Fowler has openly admitted he was never tested for PEDs throughout his career And now that he used IVs I defy anyone to argue that UKAD is fit for purpose
Everyone with half a brain uses IV drips after weigh ins, I was late to the party I didn’t my first 10 fights until I lost

Massively underrated win Taylor is one of the best I have ever seen live Genuinely one of the greats
Seven years ago today Josh Taylor defeated Regis Prograis via MD12 to unify the WBA, IBF, and vacant Ring Magazine Super Lightweight Titles The bout also served as the Final of the WBSS Tournament

The promoter equivalent of B-Hop being put through the ropes against Joe Smith
🚨 Bob Arum had Navarrete ahead on his scorecard going into the 12th round. 🚨 “Navarrete is not the easiest guy to fight because he comes from so many different angles, and I had him slightly ahead going into the last round.” 🔗: youtu.be/H_ox2pUW4Yg?is=Q-cv… #Boxing

He should be a lesson to all boxing fans, promoters, networks and media Take a few Ls on your way up and you can still achieve greatness Enough record padding and start risk taking
Shock winning last night in that fashion was great for the sport. You don’t have to be undefeated to be recognized as one of the best. I’m happy for him and his team
