Ali v Holmes was way more depressing

I didn't like Ali calling Frazier an ignorant gorilla, so I was glad somebody kicked his ***

At that point, Ali was tested and couldn't even touch his nose without multiple tries. He was basically showing early stages of Parkinson's - fighting the champ. No one deserves that.

Whoever was in charge of matchmaking, promoting, broadcasting, etc. should be hung for that travesty. There was absolutely no reason for Ali at his age to be in the ring with Holmes that night.

It was King wasn't it?

It was probably Golden Boy promotions, baby Oscar had a sick sense of humor

Brook wit the beer gut. View media item 2107487


He does look bigger then GGG tho

 

[lightweight champion]

I guess he couldn't decide whether he wanted a six pack or a keg

 

[Air Pope]

But can Brook take a GGG punch at middleweight? That's the question that needs answering.

Fight is going to end up like Canelo vs Josesito Lopez maybe worse.

Dudes that BEEN fightin at middleweight cant even take his punches.

 

[gunna get it]

Only 147 lber who could beat GGG is Floyd only bc he wouldn't get hit. THE ONLY REASON!

Not going to win in a fire fight with Golovkin

 

[wavy daddy]

Shutup.

Nope and Floyd will move and turn GGG so much

 

[rook]

I hope he doesn't regret it later. Chino could've made the same amount in 2-3 fights. (Although that doesn't include PPV money - which Argentinians eat off of + Floyd's payout for making him switch gloves for no reason)

Exactly my thoughts. Can't knock it though, dude is living I'm sure

 

[a-friend]

Yo! That Crawford Postol fight is no PPV?!

Are they madd?!

GLad Crawford is getting to eat, but this isn't fair to me, and my pockets!

 

[wavy daddy]

One of the many reasons i dont buy ppv. Plus, they gettin a fat check witout the ppv anyways. If it was 30-40 bux it would be somewhat reasonable.

[beacon ave south]

I cant imagine it going over 50k buys.

I cant imagine it going over 50k buys.

First time I saw a commercial for this fight was yesterday during the USA vs Argentina game.

Promoters ain't promoting!

 

[dedafyats]

Fighters aren't known either

Both have anorexic resumes

 

[lightweight champion]

Postol has a mostly bland resume but he just came off the biggest win of his career against Matthysse who not too long ago was one of the most feared men in all of boxing.

Crawford owns wins against Breidis Prescott, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Ricky Burns. I wouldn't consider that anorexic.

 

[gunna get it]

Not sure Crawford loses but I can see him having to get off the canvas to win

 

[dedafyats]

Crawford owns wins against Breidis Prescott, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Ricky Burns. I wouldn't consider that anorexic.

very anorexic to be on PPV

Very

 

[freakydestroyer]

What's interesting is both guys are usually slow starters and turn it up after a few rounds. This may or may not be the case in this fight.

 

[blackcease]

Crawford is -650 for this fight, Postol +425, was shocked when I saw that

I don't think the win is anywhere near that guaranteed for Crawford, but we'll see though
