why not just make it a 190 catchweight? or are they giving floyd some concessions since he’s fighting two weight classes below his opponent

this, er, fight is really baffling to me because i don't really know how it can possibly be interesting or entertaining. i think this will be the only fight i'll have seen where the possibility of a legitimate win for one fighter is literally zero. that doesn't necessarily preclude the event from being entertaining or interesting, but i can't figure out exactly how it will be entertaining or interesting.

Also it's on Showtime because apparently Al Haymon wants to leverage this to get a better TV deal from either Showtime and/or FOX because they are expiring at the end of the year. So again,  to Magnus having preordered it for $25. I'm sure Fanmio appreciates his service.

His weight at 190 is irrelevant. i dunno that there's a healthy way for mayweather to put on 30 pounds of lean bodyweight in 2 months(i guess maybe if he'd been doing a strength program and juicing since december it could happen??); i can't imagine him showing up at 190 (or even 175) for the first time in his career to fight a youtuber it doesn't really matter though, mayweather is going to paste him even if logan paul weighs in at 225 on the day of the fight, it's just a matter of whether or not he wants to risk breaking a hand going for the knockout

Watch Floyd show up fat like Askren and take a dive for a half a billion dollar pay day.

You're thinking he got paid to fight and not to go down and increase Paul's ppv money in the next fight. Only question is if Jake Paul knows it and thinks he's actually a boxer or not.

I kind of feel bad for Logan on a certain level because if Antonio Brown hadn't (for the moment) gotten his poo poo together they probably wouldve gone ahead with the fight and he would get a somewhat similar payday with much less of a chance of getting abjectly humiliated. Yes I am willing to relitigate that discussion we had earlier.

It's okay just gives me incentive to actually finish my write up. Honestly it's a lot easier to write these when I'm stuck in an office and need things to do to kill eight hours. Working from home makes it too easy to play PS5 instead.

Mekchu posted:updated thread date & title to be more accurate  Wilder is MIA, and Usyk/Joyce seems stalled by Usyk's camp (although who really knows). Ruiz is facing Arreola (  ). My favorite heavyweight division is just waiting on Fury-Joshua, not much action outside of that. Wallin-Whyte would be fun to see.

Heavyweight has some interesting fights coming up: Joseph Parker vs Dereck Chisora is next week, and Filip Hrgovic vs Michael Hunter and Adam Kownacki vs Robert Helenius 2 are coming up in the summer.

I hadn't realized that Parker-Chisora was so soon. Parker has little T. Rex arms but throws with such vicious conviction that I have trouble reading him. Helenius is huge but at his age I don't see too much coming from him.

Also while I'm here, the discord server I linked to in the OP is dead and most of us now hang out on another server to watch live fights. It's not my server and a bunch of people use it for things that aren't boxing so I won't link it here, but if you'd like to join just shoot me a PM either here or on discord theninthlayer#4960 with your SA name.

Parker and the Helenius/Kownacki winner are nothing but fringe top 10/divisional gatekeeper level, but the fights themselves should be good. I'm actually looking forward to Hrgovic vs Hunter. Hunter is a small heavyweight but he's a talented boxer with decent power who went the distance with Oleksandr Usyk at cruiser and had a draw with Alexander Povetkin. If Hrgovic isn't legit, Hunter will dominate him. Cigar Aficionado fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Apr 26, 2021 |

The Ninth Layer posted:Hearing news suggesting the Fury Joshua deal will cover one fight only. Good news for Wilder? Probably. If true it suggests to me that PBC could have gummed it up in arbitration so they're going to promise him the winner. In that case I'm also assuming he would take an interim fight against the winner of Kownacki-Helenius 2 and would beat whoever that is.
