I just saw an advert for David Haye vs Tony Bellew for Saturday March 4th. It will be what, 10 months since Haye's last fight (if you can even call it that, it was against some georgian nobody that could barely throw a punch) and yet somehow I kinda want to watch it.

I can appreciate a guy coming to the ring to the old Undertaker entrance theme. Gongs and everything.

Team Sauerland has announced a press conference for tomorrow and according to the danish press they'll be announcing the return to the ring of Mikkel Kessler. Supposedly he will be given a wildcard for the World Boxing Super Series (whatever that is) this summer.

Yeah ok, I guess I completely missed this. MTG are the owners of Viasat (they own pretty much all the sports rights worth owning) in Scandinavia so I'm pretty sure this is actually going to happen. quote:Comosa AG are pleased to announce the launch of the World Boxing Super Series, a revolutionary bracket-style elimination tournament featuring the world`s best boxers and a total of $50 million in prize money. The winner will receive the GREATEST prize in boxing – the Muhammad Ali Trophy.

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.

I'm glad I didn't get up real early to watch this, but I'm real glad I decided to bet on it because that was some easy money.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/18/conor-mcgregor-claims-he-has-agreed-to-fight-floyd-mayweather-jr-ufc-boxing I guess this is really (maybe) happening. quote:McGregor, who currently holds the UFC lightweight title, has concluded his side of the negotiation process and hopes Mayweather will sign the deal “in the coming days” after months of speculation linking the two multi-division champions first came to prominence in May of last year.

Jack B Nimble posted:I keep thinking about that very early mma fighter with control issues who you can watch on YouTube round house kicking some boxing champ in the early 90s. I forget the details but someone not on a phone could find it. You could also look at Francois Botha in K-1 if you want to see what it looks like when a boxer tries his hand at kickboxing without actually kicking.

Current EBU featherweight, danish boxer Dennis Ceylan is fighting Kid Galahad on the undercard for Eubank-Abraham. Ceylan has said that he wants to fight Lee Selby for the world title and I guess this is a step in that direction, if he can beat Galahad.

Kessler turned down the wildcard invite because he didn't think he could get fit/ready in time for it. It seems like he's set on doing something else for his comeback. Viasat/MTG said the only way they'd have him fight on PPV outside of the tournament would be against fellow danish boxer Patrick Nielsen which would be a garbage fight but it would sell well.

Grittybeard posted:He's planning a comeback? I liked Kessler a lot way back when but he's a guy who should probably just hang them up. I mean, he has officially "come back". It was announced ~3 months ago I think but nothing has happened yet. The initial story was that he would be given a wildcard for the tournament and that was what had lured him out retirement but he shot that down. I think If he gets his way he'll fight some cans as warmup to some title fight or another next year. But like I said, the only way he gets on PPV (in Denmark) is by fighting a garbageman danish boxer and he doesn't really want to do that.

Because everybody likes a good knockout, I figured this wouldn't be entirely out of place here. It is strictly speaking a kickboxing match, but the guy getting put to sleep is a boxer. His name is Joe Taylor and he calls himself "Son of a Legend". His dad is Johnny Taylor (http://boxrec.com/boxer/4868) and I don't really know that I'd call him a legend but whatever, its fightsports so everybody exaggerates.

So the guy that was touted as the next big hope in Danish boxing, the next Kessler got his rear end handed to him by John Ryder this weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSzo3ffh_5M Of course, as happens with so many of these guys (particularly in danish boxing) they get all hyped up and also buy into their own hype. If you look at Patrick Nielsen's record he has a fought a bunch of useless nobodies and the moment he fights someone even remotely competent (Dmitry Chudinov) he gets destroyed. I feel a bit sad for him because when he came up the promoter was desperate for a new star since Kessler had stopped, so they just pushed this guy and surrounded him with yes men. On the other hand, his terrible tattoos make it harder to really feel sorry for him.

There's some boxing happening in Germany tonight with Arthur Abraham headlining against a Danish garbageman that got beaten so badly last time out against John Ryder in London back in October that most people assumed his career was over. But hey, when you're in the Sauerland camp it doesn't matter how bad you are. The only other name I know on there is Nieky Holzken and he's a kickboxer. Show starts around 18:00 local time and is shown on German TV. The main event starts around 22:30 and is also shown on Danish tv, but since they don't care about anyone else they don't want to show all the undercard matches, so I'll have to find a stream somewhere. It might be on some US station somewhere? I don't know if Sauerland has good connections in America. WBO International Super Middleweight Championship: Arthur Abraham: 76.2 kg Patrick Nielsen: 76.2 kg Light Heavyweight – 8 Rounds: Leon Bunn: 80.5 kg Tomas Adamek: 80.5 kg Super Middleweight – 8 Rounds: Nieky Holzken: 76.8 kg Bernard Donfack: 77.7 kg Super Welterweight – 6 Rounds: Abass Baraou: 69.5 kg Artur Mueller: 67.6 kg Cruiserweight – 8 Rounds: Kai Robin Havnaa: 90.0 kg Frank Bluemle: 91.0 kg Super Lightweight – 6 Rounds: Andranik Hakobyan: 67.6 kg Zoltan Szabo: 64.2 kg Super Middleweight – 6 Rounds: James Kraft: 76.2 kg Marco Miano: 73.5 kg Super Featherweight – 4 Rounds: Alshawa Abdulwahab: 57.8 kg Rolan Petrovics: 59.8 kg

Supposedly it will be on FITE but Rizin has yet to actually announce anything about broadcast in Japan or the rest of the world. The official RIZIN account on reddit says they'll announce it in the next few days, which is cutting it just a tiny bit short.

My theory is still that the Yakuza needed to launder a serious amount of money and this fight is the result of that.
