I didn't realize how much I needed a Teofimo Lopez-Ben Askren boxing match until now.

Edit: Chances are it ends up being the co-feature to Jake Paul vs Ben Askren. Or more likely Tyson- Holyfield III

I still do not get why a TikTok clone (that is only big in India due to TikTok being banned there) is getting into the fight game in a major way

Do we have another Harold Smith/Muhammad Ali Professional Sports on our hands?

I mean it's the smallest of sample sizes but the one event they have promoted was insanely successful.

EDIT: Teofimo would probably balk at being the undercard to Jake Paul but it seems like we might have a co-feature (the dates line up)

Boxing fans may not know, but Tarver just signed his death warrant against the best, most technical counterpuncher in the game.

Beautiful head movement, perfect technique on the hook, closing the distance to avoid the follow-up.

Talk about free money. Draftkings Sportsbook in Illinois was offering -10000 up until the fight.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Their doping bans cancel out I guess. BJS just added to the case against him by offering journalists access to Daniel Kinahan in exchange for writing positive things about him.

remember when the Massachusetts commission denied him a license on moral grounds after that video where he recorded himself telling a woman he'd give her crack in exchange for a blow-job

(this ended up giving us the Boo Boo Andrade vs Walter Kautondokwa fight, which had scorecards of 120-104, 120-104, and 119-105)

So did Yildrim do worse than Rocky Fielding? I feel like more was expected of Yildrim though I can't figure out why.

There was still kind of a question about whether Canelo could handle bigger guys when he fought Rocky, and at least that dude threw punches

I didn't see the Fielding fight, but hard to see anyone doing worse than Yildirim. He didn't land a punch of note and hardly threw any punches. Then he just retired on his stool even after his trainer told him he was going to give him one more round.

Morrade Hakkar did better against Bernard Hopkins. This was like, Rod Salka level, which surprised me, as I thought that Yildirim could fight a little. To be fair, Yildirim hadn't fought in two years, which is crazy and clearly had an effect, but I doubt an active Yildirim would have done much better.

I’ve seen Yildirum when he was active and this time was only a marginally worse performance in that he seemed to know how little he could do whereas normally he’s a bit less aware
