I like how you can hear a bunch of thirsty women cheer whenever Canelo lands a flurry.

Is Canelo's mom praying over him during the fight?

nothing will ever beat the images of Dionesia Pacquiao praying for her son:

Lol that the Dirrells got involved another post fight DQ brawl.

And apparently Ray Beltran is (essentially) fighting for his green card

as long as the golovkin fight happens i don't care from here on. heard a rumour that canelo hurt his hand but that seems to have been bullshit thank god

he got it from punching a beehive in a Tecate advert

also Crawford-Indongo from of all places Lincoln, NE is going live in a bit, which means we bump the ESPN thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3825553&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

i'm just gonna repost what I had in the fight thread

Troy Queef posted:

for a long time the judge that scored Antuofermo-Hagler I (another contentious draw) in favor of Marvelous Marvin printed up business cards with the tagline "I Got Antuofermo-Hagler Right", and I bet Dave Moretti is calling up Vistaprint to make similar cards after tonight

sadly between now and the rematch we won't have a fight as incredibly insane and British as Hagler-Minter, which is still one of my favorite fights

Hey, so I started volunteering for Big Brothers and my little bro likes boxing. I've never been like a regular watcher though I like just watching random old fights on youtube and stuff. Is there any online resource (free is great but cheap is fine) where I can just watch shitloads of reasonably current boxing? Any particular fighters I should learn about ASAP? I don't wanna be an impostor or anything but I'd like to not be clueless if he talks about it.

Educate him on the glory that is Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Read up on the background to his fight with Alan Minter and thank me later.

Good to see Beterbiev out, his career has been a travesty of inactivity so far. 175 is a hot division now, and he could make some noise.

Miller weighed over 300 pounds in his last fight, and now he's turned down an IBF eliminator with Kubrat Pulev to fight a 41 year old irrelevant formerly retired former lightheavyweight in Tomasz Adamek. Smh.

It’s a fight that sells tickets, nothing more.

i'm just going to miss the good production values, 24/7, and of course OKAY JIM!. hopefully we'll get a few more Legendary Nights docs out of it--the last one was the one about the Ward-Gatti trilogy--as a way to draw the curtain.

but yeah, HBO for a long time now (even more since the AT&T buyout) has been more about Prestige TV® series than anything. they want to create the next GoT/Westworld, plus have that big new LeBron James production deal.

I'm not sure if anyone outside of Germany remembers him, but former super middleweight and light heavyweight world champion Graciano Rocchigiani was killed in a car accident in Sicily yesterday. His second fight against Henry Maske is the first fight I remember watching and one of the most watched fights in German TV history.

If memory serves he was the guy whose lawsuit drat near killed the WBC.

I think Crawford had a lot of challenges to overcome there, Benavidez did much better than expected but could have made this very close if he had found more output and was more insistent with just keeping the jab and straight right in Crawford's face

Crawford has a lot of monsters ahead of him to work through in this division

Spence

Garcia

Those are gonna be loving monster fights if they happen

Spence is a TGB (previously Goossen-Tutor) fighter and given that Andre Ward (who was G-T all through this career) is now allied with TR/ESPN I think that match will happen sooner rather than later.


Which is a good thing.

I am legit sad we're losing HBO, that was how I first saw boxing (well, that and CBS, but that was way back in the day).

With any luck, DAZN will pick up Lampley, or possibly ESPN.

That said,

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/first-take-host-max-kellerman-signs-new-deal-espn-1167766

Kellerman is going to host the broadcast booth team, not ringside, for ESPN's fights, which means he's probably going to be in there with Stephen A. Smith, and I am just loving tired of SAS, and Kellerman is probably going to say some poo poo that gets him yelling like on worst first take, and it's going to be terrible.

ESPN wants to bring the First Take "magic" to boxing with Max and SAS, and if so hopefully they can bring Dan/Stu/the Shipping Container to cut in whenever SAS says something stupid to give their own opinions.

also drat, that HBO montage. HARD RIGHT HAND to the feels, as the kids say.
