Cinnamon looking pretty good tbh

Sure, but he's fighting a someone who only throws when Canelo lets him

Pretty much only watching at this point for the GGG-hops-in-the-ring post fight

If they were intentional how is he getting away with it?

Welcome to boxing!

But seriously, boxing is pretty lovely in that regard. Reffing can be really arbitrary, scoring can be really arbitrary, and some fighters know how to keep it dirty but avoid getting penalized.

What a frustrating fight. Miura getting clowned, and all for having apparently zero plan other than throw telegraphed hail Marys. Maybe he could attempt to cut the ring for once?

What happened in that fight? I've seen Lomachenko in his last 3 fights and I'm still baffled how he lost to someone I didn't figure was that highly regarded. Dude looks like an anime character when he gets going, what did Salido do that was able to stand up to that?

Yeah everybody else summed it up pretty well. It's kind of an interesting fight to watch cause Salido definitely wins, but not in any impressive way, mostly by fighting dirty and mean. Clearly it was a good learning experience for Loma.

See, I'll never suggest that I know more about pro boxing than you do, but there's no way I can agree with this. I'm a Kovalev fan, and I'm more willing to concede the decision in the first than the stoppage in the second. Every time I see a replay of that finish it looks worse and worse to me, and my feeling is that Ward only began to pull ahead when he realized that he could punch Kovalev in the dick without being penalized. Is it the reffing equivalent of 118-110 Canelo? Probably not. But that doesn't mean it was good reffing or a clean win.

:agreed: the stoppage was the opposite of convincing.

ward was very likely on the cusp of winning anyway, but retiring after a questionable stoppage is pretty lol

Trout was in it until he sat down on the stool that last time, you could tell he was done instantly. Good fight.

Wilder had 3? fights fall through over the past year, so the only person that would face him was someone he already beat. That plus trash talking.
