Jascum posted:Thinking about grabbing tickets to this. Haven’t travelled to a fight ever, unless I can drive there. Maybe some of y’all have experience going to fights in Vegas? Could I do it on a budget by staying in Old Vegas? I don’t drink or gamble, just wanna see the fight and have a decent meal. Haven't been to Vegas in long time so can't speak to your first questions but regarding tickets they went on sale about 5 minutes ago and the listed price range is $150-$1500 https://www.axs.com/events/389526/wilder-vs-fury-ii-tickets/promopage/21838?skin=grandgarden The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Dec 28, 2019 |

I got a $200 ticket. I’m going and I’m so hyped! Edit: if you’re still looking for tickets, it seems like the $150 and $200 tickets sold out almost instantly and the next step up more than doubles to $500 per person. Jascum fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Dec 28, 2019 |

They had tickets that were like $354, but couldnt find enough for our group so we had to buy $500 dollar tickets. It was mostly sold out by like 1:35. There are now only 1k+ tickets left, probably about 100-175 of em

I had Pascal/Jack 113-113. Very close fight; Jack had the most definitive round with the 12th. There should be a rematch. Either way, Pascal’s late career resurgence has been remarkable. At 37 and having fought everyone, he’s still a tough out for anyone in the division.

I got to say Gamboa really impressed the poo poo out of me by almost going the distance with a torn achilles. That's some loving heart and a hell of a tape job.

Now that I'm back at work I'm slowly writing out a thread for 2020 with all the usual features, but I'm not planning on doing anything for the decade, so if you'd like to write a feature on the fighter or fight of the decade let me know and I'll include it in the new thread OP.

I was pretty dismissive of Logan Paul as a boxer last year but he kinda won me over with the KSI fight, so I'm interested.

He's a world class athlete I saw that too and I don't necessarily agree with how lopsided the odds are (iirc Paul was like -1000 favorite) but he actually is a fighter with a professional bout on his record unlike AB Edit: vvvvv That's true too. Paul gassed super hard in both fights and for being a crazy rear end in a top hat, AB is known to have an unquestioned work ethic The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Jan 9, 2020 |

Paul gasses hard though, AB could actually fight for the duration of a match and can probably do a much better training camp.

Canelo is supposedly targeting BJS for his next fight scheduled for May 2nd. All indications are that it's going to be either him or Callum Smith. Obviously DAZN are going to be trying for the Golovkin trilogy for Mexican Independence Day weekend

Obviously DAZN are going to be trying for the Golovkin trilogy for Mexican Independence Day weekend Saunders is infinitely more appealing of an opponent than Smith: natural middleweight, physically unimposing, no power, personal/career problems, etc. Easier opponent all around than Smith, and he has a belt at 168. I imagine Canelo fights Saunders and GGG at 168 in 2020.

He's an elite NFL wide receiver. Unclear to me how well that would translate to boxing on short notice.

Unclear to me how well that would translate to boxing on short notice. considering he's a professional athlete who presumably has money to get elite training i'm going to say it would take him at least 12 weeks to definitely beat me in a 3x2 round 'i am extremely fat and unfit' amateur bout. if i went into training now for 12 weeks i'd say he'd need at least another 12 on top of that. i don't know who he's fighting but i hope to god he is not competent.

I think he taunted Logan Paul or some poo poo and being an elite athlete and all that goes into it mentally and physically, good chance Antonio Brown fucks him up.

If it were other sports, I'd buy the fear of getting hit hard in the head as a distraction. But much less so for football. Fear of embarassment is certainly still there.

yeah there's quite an embarrassment gap between whoops i fumbled a ball travelling at 200mph while trying to avoid a team of 300lb steroid golems from smooshing me and getting knocked completely unconscious in a fair fight by possibly the most insufferable man on planet earth.

I don't want to phrase this like "AB's mentality is fine" but he's not going to get spooked by the stage lights. Paul has had two fight camps and bouts, but in those he never really put a distinctly better performance than KSI, who isn't a professional athlete. Paul did look like he was bigger and stronger than KSI and had reasonably good technique for a beginner, but he just doesn't have the heart or mindset of a fighter.

Here's some fan fiction to enjoy. AB's Diary - The Logan Paul Showdown Countdown 10 to go Feelin fine. Yesterday I sparred 15 rounds with 15 fresh golden gloves champions. Moving like a pro. Tapering off from here. Need to hit Fight Night at max output. C'MONNNNNNNN! Exhaustion: 70% Confidence: 98% Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: 99% 8 to go Some light roadwork. Yoga. Calisthenics. Lot of effort going into nutrition. Pretty much sitting at my goal weight before a small cut. Checked social media and it's a buzz to see so many people from so many industries tuning in. Hell of a promotional vehicle this. Fun to. Exhaustion: 45% Confidence: 97% Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: I'll give him a break. He's trained hard to. 98.5% 6 to go Went to the press conference today and it was an absolute shitfight. Why are there so many 8 year old children here, and who taught them all those slurs? I don't really want to watch that loving circus back to see if I was able to say anything worthwhile inbetween the insinuations that 'I don't even know' and the rap performance. I'm not going to lie, I didn't sleep well tonight. Exhaustion: 55% Confidence: 87% Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: 95% 4 to go I've thrown my phone in the bin. I don't know why millions of kids are printing out photos of me and making GBS threads on them, but I'm almost positive I will never be able to use that twitter handle again. Oh. Yep. poo poo in the letterbox too. Exhaustion: 70% Confidence: 70% Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: 70% 2 to go I haven't slept properly in a while. What if I lose to this guy? I am objectively better than him in every measurable metric except for 'number of children exploited' - and that still makes me the moral victor in this. What do I stand to gain by doing this? There's no backing out now though. As humiliating as it would be to walk out there and be physically humiliated by that sneering shitbag, the only thing objectively worse would be to pick this fight and not go through with this. I have to go through with this. Exhaustion: 90% Confidence: 55% Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: ??? The Big Day At least the lack of sleep makes the dickhead's inane banter easier to dismiss. All my friends are telling me things I already know about the difference in speed, training, and preparation. The expectation of me as a pro athlete is that I just blast him out of there effortlessly. What if I lose? Is there any single person disconnected enough in the united states to not know that I got humiliatingly laid out by Logan Paul within six seconds of it happening? Huh. Apparently when you get knocked out you sometimes subconsciously poo poo yourself. I'm sure I can just put that out of my mind. Exhaustion: I'M A PRO ATHLETE BABY Confidence: I'M A PRO ATHLETE BABY Likelihood of beating the weird dickhead: THE ALTERNATIVE IS LOSING TO LOGAN PAUL AND EVERYONE KNOWING ABOUT IT
