Anyone have a rough guesstimate for when Inoue's fight will start?

6th round of Mayer-Brodnicka just finished so probably a little after 11

Mayer-Brodnicka is in the books (easy UD for Mayer) & Inoue is on next.

They're showing some pretaped poo poo at the moment so I'd still say a little after 11 things should be underway.

Moloney had no answer for anything. If he went in, Inoue had too much hand speed and would catch him with uppercuts. If he tried to stay out Inoue was peppering him in between his combos. It's the first time I've watched him fight "live" and not on tape delay. The only way I can describe him is inevitable. There was no doubt from the opening bell he was winning that fight, it was just a matter of when.

After typing "LSC ded" I felt bad as the time went on and on without him getting up. Legit checking to make sure he was still breathing.

When I heard that he had fired his longtime trainer because he had thrown in the towel I knew that it was going to get worse for him before it got better. poo poo, you could see that look on his trainer's face when he threw the towel: he knew what was going to follow.

Edit: From push alert on my phone form The Athletic he has parted ways with Golden Boy. Nothing about his DAZN deal far as I could tell but apparently he is targeting a December 19th fight against Caleb Plant per Michael Benson

Edit 2: ESPN reporting that he has been released from both contracts

I mean the chances greatly increase that in 2021 we get Canelo-Bivol on Cinco De Mayo Weekend and Canelo-Charlo on Mexican Independence Day Weekend. If you're some degenerate who just :files: the whole thing yeah but if you're a weirdo fossil like me who insists on pressing that button on my Xfinity remote than probably not.

Fury is slated to return to December 5th in UK, with a voluntary defense, and Kabayel is the frontrunner to face him on the date.

6'3". Talented no doubt, but that's a heck of a height advantage for Fury.

Kabayel is quite good for what is basically a stay busy. The thought is that Fury wins this 12/5 fight, AJ beats Pulev the next week and then there's nothing standing in the way of them now that Wilder has gone and screwed up the contractual side as well as just make a complete rear end of himself.

Looking increasingly likely that Canelo will fight Plant. It’s a fight that Canelo will be favoured in, but Plant is a slick boxer and Canelo has had struggles against slick boxers before. Will definitely help cement his status as the best in the sport and legit at 160-175 though.

The worst part is that it's named after this kid named Bridger, instead of having any real reason to be called that.
