Official 2018 Boxing Thread: 12/30 - Ito vs. Chuprakov, Shiro vs. Juarez ESPN+

Old vid.

Dude who he is sparring with is signed to Mayweather Promo, and went on a rant about him (Similar to Tank) about a month ago.

Floyd being Floyd, dropped the vid right after.

Josue Vargas

 

[Bobby Layne]

McDonnell was 143 pounds when he stepped in the ring.

The monster



Big loss for Al.

Good move for David. He can be a star with the right machine behind him, and TR has proven to be able to do that.



GGG wants more money now since Canelita got the rematch cancelled.

Inoue our here taking bodies

"The purse bid scheduled for Friday at the WBC offices in Mexico City for the vacant welterweight title bout between former titleholders Shawn Porter (28-2-1, 17 KOs) and Danny Garcia (34-1, 20 KOs) was canceled. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, either Al Haymon, the adviser to both fighters, or somebody who works for him, informed the sanctioning organization that they had reached an agreement for the fight, which likely would take place Aug. 25 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Garcia and Porter are due to meet for the world title that injured Keith Thurman recently vacated." - Dan Rafael

This is really a crossroads fight if we really think about it. The loser will become a fringe contender and then gatekeeper.

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Yup.

Winner will be in the mix for future fights with Errol / Thurman / Crawford

You know something is wrong when even Ishe Smith is sneak dissing

[Mr.Guy]

You know something is wrong when even Ishe Smith is sneak dissing

What did Ishe Smith say?

 

[freakydestroyer]

What did Ishe Smith say?

Left out that a couple that I recall.
Luis "Cuba" Arias was kicked out for associating with the Rahmans.
Thomas Dulorme did not speak ill of Mayweather Promotions, but was spotted driving Uber and said he was not getting enough fights or making enough.
Shakur Stevenson didn't sign and went with Top Rank instead because he said Mayweather was all talk and didn't deliver.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Damn so Floyd isn’t paying these fighters? Not too. Messed up since he talks so bad about his experiences with top rank and getting taken advantage of.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Was Bob taking advantage of him when he paid off J Prince ?

 

[Xennial]

Andrade just can't seem to get a fight with a top opponent

 

[water runs dry]

Probably realized that if Bobfather could get away with it, so could he. Surprised he realized this given his illiteracy.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Andrade just can't seem to get a fight with a top opponent

Andrade is in line for a mandatory shot against Derevyanchenko if/when GGG gets stripped. He should just wait, HBO isn't going to be paying for that fight in July

 

[Bobby Layne]

It's posturing but telling the media you want 50/50 is still a bad look by Tom. He should have just told the media GGG wants a better deal since Canelita got the second fight cancelled, and it would have been enough.

 

[casper90403]

I think 55/45 Canelo is fair.

 

[Bobby Layne]

60/40 is fine.

65-35 was the proposed split for the rematch (first fight was 70/30), and it makes sense Canelita should take a hair cut since it was his fault the fight got cancelled whether intentional or not.

Lomachenko torn labrum

"After examining Lomachenko, including giving him an MRI, ElAttrache told ESPN: "There is clear evidence that he had a recent dislocation of the shoulder, and the most common injury that happens when there is a dislocation is a tear in the labrum. His is pretty extensive. A typical tear usually goes from about 2 o'clock if you're looking at the face of a clock down to about 6 o'clock. His goes almost all the way around. I would say he has significant instability of his right shoulder."

[freakydestroyer]

He's just playing mind games with GGG to rush him to accept the fight.

 

[boxer15]

The De La Hoya/GBP spin machine is almost as crazy as the deluded fans that believe their garbage.

Golovkin needs to move on and leave Canelo regretting not getting the rematch for the rest of his career.

I replied to the first post to point out the convenient chronology of Saunders becoming a possible opponent

Not even 2 days later.
