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

[jking0821]

I thought the Loma fight was pretty even. Not to be "that" guy. But i woudln't be shocked if Linares tested positive. It seemed he was in there for a marquez pacman moment. Looked to be setting up for big shots. And you could tell he had superior punching power but Loma's accuracy and hand speed were also obvious. I don't want to soapbox but espn's commentators didn't give linares enough credit. If Linares would have gotten off the canvas and the fight would have went the distance i could have seen it being very close on the cards.

I still think loma is wildly talented but i think the size difference showed in that fight.

One judge had Linares up 1, Loma up 1 (86-84 each) and one judge had it 85 even before the finish.

It was close on all cards.

good to know. As soon as the ref waived it off i turned off the tv. guess it was just the commentary team who was a little OD

Looks like King Sor taking a big L outside of the ring

What big money fights are thete for him? Well it's all relative because money goes a long way in his home country. The articles out are saying he's more hurt psychologically than anything.

Inoue?

Inoue?

Isn't he like 2 weight classes higher now? I lost track.

 

[Xennial]

I'm sure if they want the fight enough they'll come to an agreement like Loma and Rigo

Isn't he like 2 weight classes higher now? I lost track.

 

[dgar08]

Inoue was my guess too. Only other one I could think of was another slugfest with Gallito

118.

SSR probably isn't long for 115 either with as big as he is.

Nery

He could be moving up again though.

This will be a good barometer for where he's at.

If he walks through Smith too, then it's time to start taking him seriously as a legit factor at 154.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Munguia is going to stop Smith quicker than Canelo did.

 

[Bobby Layne]

There's some buzz that he could be on the NYE card that Japan usually does.

Surprised to see the majority picking overrated Gary Russell jr to beat jo jo Diaz tomorrow night

 

[freakydestroyer]

JoJo Diaz is getting hammered at the sports books. Went from +420 to +240. I don't know who to pick actually. Gary Russell is gifted but I question if he's dedicated to boxing. JoJo Diaz is younger and looks like he really wants this.

[Bobby Layne]

Russell is an underachiever but Jojo doesn’t have any pop and is fighting on another guys home turf.

We need this man back in boxing.

 

[Xennial]

completely forgot Badou Jack is a Muslim and its Ramadan. i just hope he can rehydrate properly for this fight

 

[freakydestroyer]

Selby Warrington is the most crooked fight of this year.
