Cant wait till swift gets a L. It doesnt even have to be a KO, just wana hear what his dad would say and the confused look on swifts face.

word. A KO and Angel is gonna say that his opponent got lucky. Need him to lose in a straight outboxed *** whipping.

Good article fam.

Have the PPV numbers been released for the Crawford vs Postol fight?

The rumour is that it did 50K. I doubt we will ever see an official release of the numbers since we all know that it bombed.

Not surprising at all. I would've liked a better matchup to be ppv, but I guess they'll learn from this.

 

[wavy daddy]

No one watchin the santa cruz fight saturday? I havent seen any hype or promotion.

 

[nymets207]

Gonna try n go, should be a good fight. Top to bottom probably the most stacked card of the year

 

[freakydestroyer]

I hope Karma bites Stevenson in the *** tomorrow.

 

[wavy daddy]

Khan said canelo weighed 187 fight night.



187 alright

187 alright

Only 187 going on was khan dying for a few minutes.

Smh at gift garcia man, i want to like dude as a boxer buts its difficult. After he beat mattysse, it seems like he feels he has nothing else to prove.

 

[wavy daddy]

You think dannys dad got it in his head that he should keep movin the way he does?

Or is danny a lil *****?

 

[beacon ave south]

Quite possibly.. all you ever hear danny say is its not his job to secure fights and he doesnt care who he gets in the ring with.

Showtime said they're trying to get Thurman vs Garcia done for 1st quarter of 2017, we'll see what happens tho

 

[freakydestroyer]

Thurman, Porter, and Spence all big Welters who are draining to make 147. Brook too but he moved up obviously. I think it's part of Danny's plan to delay any fights with the aforementioned as long as possible so that they are uncomfortable making the weight or just grow out of the division.

This
Bud Crawford at 140 as well

But like angel said, no need to fight elite dudes in their prime

Like some of the best do

 

[mgrand15]

I'm all for fighters getting paid but it was all gonna go downhill when he got 1.5 mil for fighting a washed up Paulie. Thurman just got that for fighting Porter. Now Danny's camp expects at least triple that to fight someone decent. I don't believe he's actually that big of a draw.

And he got whooped by Herrera and Peterson

That's the gift and the curse of Haymon and PBC.
They paid out ridiculousy large purses for mediocre fights.
The only good, viable fight IMO from PBC was Thurman vs Porter and I've been touting that as a PPV worthy fight since back in March when it was scheduled to happen.

Hopefully Al, Bob, and Oscar can all come to the table together and work something out.

They def. won't work anything out
I'm all for fighters getting paid though. But it does get annoying when dudes are using that money excuse to duck fighters. Although from the business side of things, you don't want a guy getting 50 mil while you leave w/ 4 mil.

Anyone watching this Stevenson vs Williams fight? Only in the 4th, but if this fight continues like this, clear contender for fight of the year.

Edit:

Welp, knockout 30 seconds after posting.. what a shot.

 

[bluesmurf]

Devastating left hand. Good fight Williams showed himself well

 

[beacon ave south]

That was real reminiscent of sergio ko'ing p will. Both williams, both with a left, both fell and laid the same way. Creepy.

 

[gunna get it]

Yikes at that KO.

[emoji]128293[/emoji] Set it up with like 3 straight body shots too

 

[thegreatbean]

Is this ko on YouTube?

 

[Air Pope]

 

[freakydestroyer]

My crystal ball is telling me we will see Broner vs Malignaggi II.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Frampton vs Cruz not on TV?
