Cotto-Ali doesn't work, but the rest are awesome. Still feel bad Chocolatito lost that one, he spilled his guts in that fight.

Good write up. 2017 was a great fight year. Can't wait to get back home and review some of those matches again.

The Paris Review has a nice post up by Edmund White about the Dadaist poet / art critic / troll / boxer Arthur Cavan. Some interesting anecdotes about Jack Johnson.

Some interesting anecdotes about Jack Johnson. this is fantastic. wonderfully written. also contains this: quote:Having witnessed Cravan’s work back in Paris, Duchamp and Picabia invited Cravan to deliver one of his anti-art lectures at the exhibition. He didn’t disappoint. On the day, he stood half cut in front of his audience, swore at them, waved his cock around, and was promptly arrested.

Glad you enjoyed it - you will probably also like this review of George Plimpton’s sports books from a couple years ago. Plimpton wrote Shadow Box and covered a bunch of the seminal 20th century fights for SI. (Incidentally, he also founded The Paris Review.)

Is there going to be a 2018 thread now that the first title fight of 2018 is over? Started getting into watching boxing this year and would love to see some commentary about 2017 in a new thread.

I fly home tomorrow and will start working on a thread to be posted by the end of the week. Been hashing out my top 20 on the boat and think I have a list I'm happy with. I'll include MMM's write up of the HBO fights last year too and if anyone has something else they'd like featured feel free to PM me or post it here. Thanks for being patient everyone  Also, welcome to the SA boxing thread!

No but that's a good idea. Dunno if there's something like that for PSP at large either. Mostly we just do game day threads. Edit;: I'll look into setting up a discord sever when I get back. The Ninth Layer fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jan 7, 2018 |

it's pretty much the perfect fight for bud. it's for a world title, the guy can bang and take a punch, and bud is guaranteed to win. horn's chances are literally zero, but it won't be boring.

Still working on the thread, in the meantime boxingscene reporting that Canelo has agreed to terms for a May 5th rematch with Golovkin. It's gonna be a big Cinco De Mayo weekend this year.

GGG won that fight and he'd be insane to give Canelo and Golden Boy another chance to steal a crooked decision.

I think GGG wins via wide decision or late stoppage in the rematch. He came out pretty cautious in the first fight until he decided Canelo couldn't hurt him, in a rematch he'd be immediately coming out swinging. Plus it'd make them both an absolute poo poo-ton of money.

It'd be a decent fight, and probably end in an egregious robbery or best case another garbage draw. Pass.

 2 to 1 that photoshopping abs onto Parker was a sticking point at one time in the negotiations.

Surprised people here are so bullish on GGG in the rematch, the general consensus is that Canelo is the one who will improve more. Either way, the first fight was a great one and I'd love to see another.The SituAsian posted:

This isnt news to anyone, but making the fight on these massive mexican holidays for Canelo is pretty weak. If hes such a good fighter he wouldnt need any advantage.

It not being on a holiday would lessen the chance of the judges being criminally drunk again.

I was screwing around on you tube and watched an old vlad fight and was surprised at how nostalgic I got when he dropped a beautiful right hand. Course the whole point of the clip was that Emmanuel Steward spent 10 rounds begging Vlad to please hit the guy so~

No way dude, put big fights on the biggest possible weekends for them imo. Especially Cinco de Mayo where people would be barbecuing and partying anyway, and getting a bunch of people to buy into PPV becomes an easy sell.

It's also much easier for people to get into Vegas to see the fight if it's a holiday weekend. The hotels and casinos want that date just as much as HBO do.
