what would you suggest a boxer nicknamed the Bronze Bomber should call his fans

Inoue above Canelo on the p4p lists.

You could argue for him at #1 IMO, he's demolishing world class opposition much more easily than Loma or Crawford.

holy hell I did not see that coming

gutted for Joshua, but also happy for Ruiz, his press conference where he talked about how his family won't have to struggle any more was :3:

however now I have to accept that Fury is the best heavyweight in the world and I am very unhappy about that fact

I can't stand Fury either as a fighter or a person but I think he won the first Wilder fight and I don't see him getting tagged again with that right in the second. I'd even have him as favourite against Joshua because even though Ruiz and Fury are nothing like each other as fighters I'm not convinced that Joshua can come back with the same mentality after being taken apart by a guy everyone thought was a no-hoper.

dude went through the ropes because he was so loopy his feet weren't working, I feel like at that point that's enough head trauma for one night

KSI v Logan Paul is probably the first fight since Fury-Chisora where I hope they both get brutally knocked out

Julio Cruz
May 19, 2006
to be fair I only find KSI mildly annoying whereas Paul is an absolute disgrace of a human being

I like that Wilder is basically the only boxer on the planet whose trash talk is 100% factually accurate

he pretty clearly chooses to go down the second time, but it's quite difficult to tell the difference between taking a dive and an overmatched guy deciding he's been punched in the head enough for one night

Am I dumb for being less impressed by Fury's dominance in the sport due to him being a literal giant at 6'9? He towers over basically everybody.

Wilder is 6'7

wondering what BJS has been up to during the outbreak? well wonder no more

quote:

Saunders filmed himself hitting a punchbag while appearing to show men how to hit their partners should they get into an argument during the lockdown.

The footage obtained by Mirror Fighting, which has circulated on WhatsApp, shows the super-middleweight world champion with a punch bag in his barn after a training session.

He proceeds to advise men what to do physically if they get into an argument.

Saunders also provides commentary, saying: "I just wanted to make a little video for all you dads, husbands, if you've got girlfriends etc.

"Obviously this Covid-19 is getting very serious and we are isolated away in right spaces.

"If your old woman is giving you mouth and you try to be patient, you try to be calm, cool, but after the sixth day you're just about to explode.

"All of a sudden she's coming at you, spitting a bit of venom in your face, ready to say something, you may have left the dishes out, I don't know what you've done but you've upset her."

He then goes into specific detail what men should physically do - which the Mirror has decided not to publish.

quote:

The Sun has the video and the rest of the transcript, as he demos it on the punching bag.

"As she comes in, she's coming at you and you've lost it, just keep it safe with the hands. So as she comes in, she's just about to say something, all of a sudden you explode and hit her on the chin.

"At this time she may flash and see white and think, 'What's happened?', she's in a state of a horror.

"She doesn't know what's going on and all of a sudden you dip down on that knee and you finish her off. That should do the trick."

quote:

Saunders recently had his trainer Ben Davison and stable-mate Josh Taylor kicked off a plane after calling Delta Airlines with a coronavirus warning.

An audio clip surfaced which appeared to reveal him laughing as he recalled ringing Delta Airlines to tell them a friend of his had COVID-19 and was preparing to board the flight.

Conor seems many times more likely to give Paul serious head trauma than anyone he's faced so far so I am 100% down for that

the great thing about two complete assholes fighting each other is that every possible outcome is a good one

standing at range Pulev is nowhere near hitting him

That's an interesting take because I kind of do the opposite and, if I know for a fact that a guy is a complete rear end in a top hat or openly acts like one, I always enjoy watching him get the poo poo beat out of him and totally root against him. For instance, I always enjoyed watching Prince Naseem Hamed and Hector Camacho get their asses beat and really enjoyed watching Manny Pacquiao beat the ever living Christ out of Antonio Margarito for 10 rounds.

yeah this is why I'm looking forward to Canelo v BJS probably more than any other upcoming fight

who's the Steve Mazzagatti of boxing refs? the guy who's just happy to stand there and watch someone get smashed because he believes that breathing counts as intelligent defence

Fury doing coke is probably the least objectionable thing about him

he's misogynistic, homophobic, and works for a literal gangster, the only reason he's not the worst person in British boxing is that BJS exists
