That clip is impressive, boots beats him to the counter punch even though he throws from the same hand twice.

Between Triller and King Ry, 14 year olds are having a hell of a year.

Edit: It's possible that if he comes through this he gets positioned to fight Devin Haney if he beats Linares. Or maybe Teofimo if Golden Boy jumps to Triller

Yeah, looks more like a sneaky shoulder check but with the way Ennis reacts there might of been head to head contact too.

Showtime just released their summer schedule. To me the highlights are Jermall Charlo-Brian Castano for the 154 full unification and the delayed Nordine Oubaali-Nonito Donaire. David Benavidez- Jose Uzacategui could be a cracker too.

Tank on PPV though :mad:

EDIT: The co-feature to Tank-Barrios is supposed to be Erickson Lubin vs Jeison Rosario. A little better I guess

On my Fremdscham-scale, Askren vs. Paul feels like 9 out of 10 Tito press conferences, so I don't even think I can watch it, but I'm definitely gonna read the posts about it.

The reports are that Ben is getting PPV points and honestly, given the buzz that's swelling up, I think this could approach 1 million buys. So he's probably going to clear a few million. Not too bad for fight with Youtuber

even if it does a third of this, it should embarrass any and all combat sports 'promoters'. dana has some of the finest athletes exclusively signed to his company and it would take a stacked card to do half the buys of the youtube man.
