Official 2020 Boxing Thread: 12/12 - Joshua vs. Pulev DAZN, Stevenson vs. Clary ESPN

Tony Harrison is Detroit.
I'm a fan.

If only he'd been blessed with a better gas tank and/or chin. He'd be P4P status.

Porter vs Crawford will be a good fight Porter always shows up game to big fights.

Will be interesting to see if Crawford can get him out of there

 

[lightweight champion]

Bud is too skilled to get caught in a phone booth with Showtime. He’ll dissect him for 12 rounds.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I see this being more realistic than Crawford vs any PBC fighter, even though Mikey Garcia and Arum didn't part on good terms.

im Filipino but im a floyd fan... not trying to be biased but manny did absolutely nothing in that fight... its not like floyd absolutely dominated him but he was just a little bit better in every round except for 3 to maybe 4 rounds pac won...pac was just a no show that night and didnt throw as much punches as he usually does

Wait what? That fight was absolute dominance

I think these rumors are smoke and mirrors to stir up hype when they know people are sitting at home.

Fury doesn’t owe wilder anything after whooping him twice lolololol

It's the contractual side.

Fight cant happen unless Wilder oks it.only waybit happens is if they pay him off. I don't see it as a possibility. The minute fury gets in the ring with anyone else wilder loses any and all relevance in heavywe9ght division.

Also I expect bud to outbox porter but porter is going to make him fight inside he doesnt have the reach to keep him outside like brooke did. I just think it will be an entertaining fight

 

[you go boy]

i think fury would beat joshua if the fight does happen imo

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Damn they throwing Ryan in there against Jorge?!?!?
I thought they wanted to help the young lad

Guess they must really be sold on Ryan’s improvement.

He really expects a boxing match with a gate to happen in 2 months?

He really expects a boxing match with a gate to happen in 2 months?

He's probably looking at it like this. If UFC can take place in Florida with 1/4 capacity and he can get extra hype from it being on July 4th, the TV viewership makes up for the loss in gate.

Cinco de mayo weekend and no big fight

 

[Bobby Layne]

Eddie and Bob need to give up on getting these big site fees anytime soon. A year from now there's a real possibility live events are limited to like 25% capacity, and while you could make an argument the exclusivity of the event could drive up ticket prices, what is more likely is that these places will have a hard time even filling that given that people are still going to be freaked out about being in big crowds.

If these early studio fights end up working out well (i.e. no one gets sick and dies), they need to look into staging the bigger fights that way as well and try to bank on an audience starved for live content driving up PPV and subscription buys.

Looking extremely forward to this fight. Garcia speed is crazy but does he have the power to keep Linares at bay? If Linares is not phased by his power at all & walks through him I wanna see how Ryan Garcia reacts/adjust.
