Berchelt and Miura agreed to fight this summer, probably at Stubhub Center or the Forum. Loma getting the winner would be pretty ok, yeah?

Lomachenko almost certainly gets a fight in the meantime. Jezreel Corrales actually just signed with Golden Boy so that seems encouraging.

I've heard a pretty distressing rumour that GGG has a pretty bad injury, potentially career derailing. Nothing concrete has emerged though.

Havent heard anything about this since this post so I'm going to assume that (thankfully) this was just some misinformation.

Porter/Berto and an independent Top Rank ppv with Oscar Valdez-Miguel Marriaga tonight. Hopefully Porter can get a rematch with Thurman and Valdez moves up.

Actually that reminded me; maybe Haye-Klitschko? Though I didn't really follow boxing i do remember quite a bit of hype including that awesome Face Off

https://youtu.be/-lDZhnxAwS0

Anyways this fight basically comes down to is Wlad washed because if so then he's getting absolutely crumpled. If not then it will be his experience versus AJ's physicality and no one can know how that will play out until it happens

I'm sure I'll look stupid for saying this two days from now but I do think Joshua has stepped up too big too early against Klitschko. Even at 41 Wlad would probably beat out 95% of heavyweights without problems.

Personally im inclined to see he's washed and AJ does the deed by the 5th round. Cut to a rapturous Wembley Stadium interspersed with many shots of a crying Hayden Panitierre.

I know this will never happens for financial reasons, but humour me in this hypothetical world.

Let's say we manage to cook down the alphabet soup of boxing promotions to just one promotion. One belt per weight class. Would that make it harder or easier for the actual good fights to happen?
Because currently it seems like a lot of guys tend to hide from good fighters behind mandatory challengers who usually aren't very good.

Edit: totally misread the statement. Having one promoter for all of high level boxing would pretty much be a one way ticket back to relevance in the US and great increases in popularity worldwide. Removing the different sanctioning organizations but keeping the promotional/managerial status quo would be a noticeable improvement but not the game-changer that a more centralized business structure is.

According to ESPN-secondhand via a BLH comment- Chavez Jr. Is apparently doing hours of cardio in the MGM Grand fitness center to make weight so (continue to) bet the house on Canelo. Shame too cause I really want Hijo to beat Canelo's fat head in.

Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into it because I would've paid no matter what but unless Chavez botches the re-hydration-and it seems to me that Heredia has this figured out-he'll probably have about 10 pounds on Canelo. Combined with the height and reach advantage and, gently caress it, I'm hype.

It was actually underwhelming in the moment but is Chavez to blame for killing everyone's buzz.

Hot new theory as to why Canelo-Chavez sucked so much of course involves shady dealings with Oscar and combat sport's favorite mysterious (possibly non-existent) power broker.

Chavez's extreme suck not withstanding it's estimated that the fight did about a million buys. Even my casual as hell work buddy bought it after Chavez made weight.

The Golovkin fight will do massive numbers. All else equal I'd say anything south of 1.5 million would be disappointing.

Does anybody know anything about Moises Flores?

He's apparently fighting Rigo on the Ward undercard and i want to know if rigo will be breaking a sweat for that

He's undefeated and has 4 inches on Rigo but probably not. Boxrec tells me his best wins are some guy from Namibia who also lost to Tomoki Kameda and Oscar Escandon-a fringe contender type who is probably going to get smoked by Gary Russell Jr. on Saturday. He better win too because Miguel Cotto just split with Roc Nation after they couldn't get him whatever absurd money he was demanding to fight Yoshihiro Kamegai. Hopefully Cotto makes nice with Top Rank and we get a double retirement fight against either JMM or Bradley.

In both cases Dirrell was clearly hit illegally and both Abraham and Uzcategi should have been disqualified but the theatrics afterwards (though the latter was mainly his family's fault) and that he and his brother have godawful styles of fighting and I just have no sympathy at all.

I wouldn't be so quick to cash Kell out just yet. Yes the eye troubles are very concerning going forward but his losses came against the top middleweight and-imo-the top welterweight. I would still take Brook over Thurman and probably Pacquiao as well. Actually a fight I would love could be Brook versus Miguel Cotto (if he beats Kamegai) but unfortunately that doesn't seem feasible.

How much did Kessler do after his eye was hosed up? I remember he was around for longer than I thought he would be.

He suffered the eye injury during the Super Six-which was towards the tail end of his career anyways-and still did pretty good in the rematch with Froch in 2013. It will be interesting to see how he is if his comeback is consumated.

Also Mikey Garcia-Broner official for July 29th. Weird that Mikey could end up being the guy who Broner is cashed out to.

As a Chicago guy I am not looking forward to Stevenson-fonfara 2. I hope Fonfara wins of course but he's been koed by Joe Smith and struggled mightily with (actually) Bad Chad. Have a sinking feeling Andy's going to get crumpled.

There might be a presale through mlife.com since T-Mobile is an MGM venue but according to Reddit apparently there is a special presale for T-Mobile employees so maybe try to get friendly (pause) with one.

If you can't get in on the presale then I imagine trying unless you want to pay many multiples of face value or if the event is selling poorly (which Iit doubt will) then pick up from scraps from a broker close to 9/16.

EDIT: I didn't mean to discourage you, just set an expectation. I imagine tickets will always be available somewhere so by all means go if you want since I imagine it's going to be great atmosphere just be prepared to pay through the nose. For what it's worth I might try to get there even if-as is most likely-I go by myself and have to drop a grand on just the tickets alone.
