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

I feel like tonight joshua was as nimble as he's been in a fight, maybe got abit carried away trying to go for the ko but showed a good mix of his power and the smart boxing he showed against ruiz the second time

Pulev ate a lot of shots in that fight and so fair play to stay on his feet for most of it and to keep fighting. He looked pretty chill after too. He's made of granite

Floyd Mayweather, Wladimir Klitschko, Andre Ward and Laila Ali have been elected to the 2020 class of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Tim Bradley, James Toney and Miguel Cotto were newly eligible but did not make it in on their first ballot.

Edit: They actually technically the 2020 class. The Hall normally has their ceremony in Canastota New York each June but obviously could not this year so they are (hopefully) having the 2020 and 2021 inductions at the same time next summer.

Seems weird, because any boxer could embarrass themselves by lingering; in fact it's how basically every career ends and it's the defining feature of Ali's tragedy.

It was actually a "principled" stand by some voters against him for his PED use.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The Australian media is going mad for Tim Tszyu, son of Kostya, but I'm struggling to find any international or objective reports on him. Is he a big fish in a small pond, an untested can crusher, or actually potential living up to his fathers legacy?

Not quite UFC, but Hunt weighed in at 280 and lost a decision in his boxing fight
https://www.mmamania.com/2020/12/16/22179027/video-280-pound-mark-hunt-returns-boxing-loses-ex-rugby-star-paul-gallen
He doesn't look that much bigger if at all from his cutting to 265 days.

Either Gallen has a strong chin or Hunt's lost a couple notches of power. The latter seems more likely, going by the highlights.

Lots of complaints for the decision, though can't comment without seeing the full fight
