the one thing i don't love about pac / broner is that broner might win. huh. actually, no, i don't hate broner more than that hyper religious dickhead. i like this fight.

The Ninth Layer posted:I've never heard of the guy he's fighting and I have trouble imagining casual fans will care enough about this to watch it on New Year's Eve. But idk maybe this will do some big business for a Japanese casino. he's a kickboxing prodigy and a superstar in japan / kickboxing. i don't know how those things translate into being able to pay floyd ~100mil and expect to make money but japanese fighting organisations don't have a history of sane decision making and fiscal responsibility as a top priority.

The Ninth Layer posted:I don't even really care about the decision, I'm just looking forward to the rematch now. i care because i had wilder by ko in rds 10-12, fury by points, and a hunt / shogun / jds parlay. boxing can eat dicks. really though that card for wilder is a travesty and there is no excusing it, but i'm more upset by the fact that we're no closer to determining who the best heavyweight on earth is. i have been insanely impressed by wilder's refusal to quit and his uncanny inability to lose to guys who should, by all rights, box the poo poo out of him (fury, ortiz).

i wish it was wlad that retired. vitali was a pleasure to watch. reasonably keen to see how canelo looks at super middle against a reasonably good opponent. extremely keen to see frampton / warrington though. it's like a more relevant brook / khan. that's all i'm especially interested to see as far as 2018 goes except of course for the mayweather / tenshin spectacle which is almost sure to fall apart the second the yakuza piss mayweather off which should be within hours of the fight's scheduled start time

good list. the fight of the year is inarguable imo and the cruiserweight gp was easily the best and most intriguing concept in boxing this year so its eventual winner deserves fighter of the year for sureCigar Aficionado posted:KO of the Year: Teofimo Lopez KO1 Mason Menard: The most extravagant KO I saw this year. this is loving grim. no poo poo if i was this dude's corner i would have thrown the towel in after that first combo. you'll have to watch it to get what i mean, but i don't think i've ever cottoned on to a skill differential that vast so quickly before an i actually got genuinely scared for the guy's safety. anyway here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjzZvhL-AAY

Gozinbulx posted:I have no loving clue why anyone thinks the Wilder Fury fight was good other than the drama of 2 "top" guys fighting each other. yeah man you told us on the day. i'm curious though what do you actually like about boxing? because this fight featured an entertaining pre-fight build up to a relevant and important match, a referee that allowed the fighters to fight, slick offensive and defensive boxing, exhibitions of extreme power, championship level displays of heart, a human being getting extremely hurt, coming back from the brink of defeat - twice, conquering extreme adversity, and at the end of it all both men gave his opponent the respect they each thoroughly earned. the only things that the fight didn't have was competent judging and a knockout, although we arguably saw a knockout. so. what is it you like about boxing exactly?

i understand that it was a freakshow fight sponsored by the yakuza but that was clearly the best boxer alive putting a beating on a person half his weight with no boxing fights. the only controversy should be that it happened, not how it ended.

khan also slowed to like half speed by the time canelo knocked him out so hard a sensible person would have hung up his gloves. does he have 12 rounds of speed anymore?
