Everything Boxing

Nice call! Hopefully you are just as accurate for the BJS fight.

 

Just saw the 1 minute highlight what a joke. Any1 expected a real fight before it went down? I sure didn't, imo it's bad for boxing because it was just about money no talent

 

Best HW card in a good while tonight. In the rematches, I think Fury & Helenius will repeat their prior victories. Ajagba v. Sanchez just might steal the show in a battle of the undefeated. Not going to try to pick that one. Sanchez a classic boxer in the great Cuban style but Ajagba may have the equalizer.

 

Right on John.

Sounds about right on the two big fights, although as big of a fan as I am of Ajagba, he will be in tough with Sanchez. I think he may be too slick for the big fella, but I hope I am wrong, which does happen often.

 

Spot on. Fury already won the mind game that wilder was trying to play

 

What a fight That's a fight

 

Seen nearly every HW title fight since Ali-Liston 1 & IMHO this was the best of the lot. Literally on the edge of my seat for the entire bout. Russell Mora did a superb job which I can't say for Mike Ortiz. Ortiz missed the KD by Ajagba & failed to deduct a point from Sanchez for his blatant foul. Unless I missed some rules change Ajagba should've been given time to recover.
Efe is young enough to learn from this & come again. Don't want to take anything away from Sanchez. He boxed beautifully & dare I say he has the skills to give Usyk some trouble & perhaps more.

 

Good match-up-Usyk and Sanchez!

 

Totally agree, the fight was intense all around. Wilder so predictable . Sanchez can move he was exciting to watch.

 

Tonight's the night. All the marbles at 168. Massive step up for Plant. He's not lacking in confidence & he looked ripped at the weigh-in. He did some training with Messrs. Ward & Hunter & Dre is picking him by KO. Have the utmost respect for SOG but I just can't see it. At the fracas during the presser it appeared to me that Canelo had the better reflexes & quicker hands. The power equation of course was never a question. I expect Mr. Alvarez to prevail within the distance.

 

Good assessment. I go along with most of the opinions that Canelo will beat him down and stop him in the last third of the match. I've noticed Plant leaves himself open too much and has a bad habit of backing straight out with his hands too low. Seems like Plant gets pretty bruised up in most of his bouts against lesser opponents. I wouldn't doubt if Plant wins a few of the earlier rounds though fading later. We'll know soon John...

 

DEVASTING 11th Round KO of Plant. 10million dollar payday before taxes and expenses, I hope he will be able to enjoy it.

 

Whenever a pundit starts gushing about the courage & determination of the loser I'd love to strangle him. In this case the loser walks away with a nice piece of change. Meanwhile in half of the gin joints in the world MFs are beating each others' brains in for nothing.

 

Can Bud stop the tough, durable Porter? I believe he can. Certain the gameplan will be designed to sidestep & counter Porter's headfirst & often borderline dirty linebacker rushes. Lateral movement while switching back & forth between southpaw & orthodox while boxing masterfully from both stances, frustrating Porter's bullrushes. Establishing the distance to punish Shawn every time he comes in.

Virtually every fight scribe is picking Mr. Crawford on points. Think he's really sick of hearing about Spence as well as continually having his previous opponents denigrated.
He'll be looking to shut up the peanut gallery.

Like Bud by stoppage 10-12. War Crawford!!!
