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.
It was a gift from everything I know, and given the participants literally no way it wasn't a gift with the fix in.

Yes, I am very cereal.
I watched Hunt/Gallen. Hunt put in minimal effort and clearly ran out of gas by the 3rd. Had Gallen hurt in the 2nd with a minute to go but didn't seem super interested in finishing. Gallen clearly won imo just based on volume. A lot of short uppercuts.

That's certainly possible though GGG is looking he's been working Memo Heredia if you catch my drift. Of course that might just make it funnier when he gets sparked out

Callum Smith making it to the bell is also a good shout and I think it will happen as well.

i don't, but is it something to do with the fact that he looks like the eastern european experiment that he fought like in his youth?

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?

tszyu is ranked as the #2 super welterweight by the wbo, which, lol, but ranks anywhere from 4th to 10th by every other governing body in the sport

he's legit but he's nowhere near the title shot he wants so badly; if he beats brian carlos castano i think he's the default contender for the wbo belt and then would face teixeira, and then mayyybe charlo wants to unify the belts after that

tl;dr: he's more than a can crusher but probably not world class just yet

it's fairly hard to gauge tszyu at the moment. he gave jeff horn a beating who was imo a little bit past the jeff that gave pac a run. he could be really, really loving good but yeah i'd say a solid B fighter as it stands from just the eye test.

there was nothing entertaining about that.


edit: to add to why i say that. there were no stakes. at no point did i ever think the guy making his debut was in danger and it exemplifies the worst parts about boxing.

i feel like smith should be moving to the right more often. canelo's right will be so loving far from him and he can stifle the left with his jab.

Callum is weird because he's massive but it seems like he fights pretty inside his range. Maybe it's just Canelo's footwork.

He always does that but usually he fights moving forward instead of backing up. This isn't a good strategy for him I don't think.

I was expecting him to try and outrange Canelo just from his height advantage but I guess that's a tall order because Canelo is real good. Now he's on the back foot.

Dude is fighting his fight tho.
