He still might, one defeat isn't a career ender, but Garcia did something special imho. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 TC vs Madrimov @ light middleweight. A tilt at a belt at a fourth different weightclass for the P4P champ. August 3rd and interestingly.... It is the kingdom's first boxing event outside of Saudi. Alalshikh has become boxing's financial powerhouse, with the ability to put on history-making fights. Anthony Joshua's last two bouts have taken place in Saudi and the undisputed title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will also be held in capital Riyadh on 18 May. "A lot of fans have said these big fights are always in Saudi Arabia now and don't forget the UK and US," Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, who is working alongside the Saudi organisers, said. "There are also talks of a major event in Wembley Stadium for Riyadh Season." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/articles/cd1vx9k9mrgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Terrence Crawford should be winning that fight comfortably, haven't been impressed by Madrimov he's been pretty basic. Haney always been chinny, funny that Garcia pulled the drunken master on him but it'll catch up to him if he fights Tank again. Haney's dad is an absolute tool as well.

Alph Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Canelo sticking it on De La Hoya. 🤣 Hopefully that fight happens Sat night too! Canelo double bill Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De22Ram Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Garcia tested positive for PEDs 🙈 To get popped for PEDs in this day and age there either stupid or it was a genuine mistake! Either one shouldnt happen! And i mean stupid because theyve got caught! You cant just juice up and not get caught! They have to micro dose and if they do it properly its hard for vada to catch them! Theres a really good podcast on boxing news about it! Well worth a listen! Its rife in pro boxing! Another reason i prefer the anateurs lol!

Bris Vegas Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 You always have to question fighters who can jump through weight classes. You can’t just pack on 20lbs of lean muscle without juicing when you are already a peak condition athlete. Canelo’s PED use was brushed under the carpet. You can’t go from 154lbs to 175lbs without putting on fat and looking softer. Impossible. Pacquiao as amazing as he is, is another case. Can’t go from 122 to 147+ while still maintaining low body fat. Impossible without enhancements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 VADA has become the VAR of boxing. You can't really celebrate any victory till the geeks doing the monitoring have confirmed it as legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they paralyze or kill someone because there using PEDs and fight a clean fighter! Should do prison time! Probably would tbh! Disgusting juicing in any combat sport imo! Youd like to give them the benefit of the doubt but you could make a case for most juicing! Why did mayweather always fight in vegas? Fighters who finish strongly, thats a sign of PEDs, so froch etc! Boxers only fighting, once or twice a year, is it so they can cycle a PED and have it out there system for training camp! You look at athletes now compared to 20 years ago! Is it all because of sports science? Or are the "supplements" getting better and people know how to use them better? Vada is the best anti doping tester tho!

BaaLocks Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Inoue is really quite impressive. For the first five rounds he looked like he was winning on points but then he just seemed to take it up a level - or maybe he is carrying on at the same rate as his opponents tire. The finishing combination was just text book - problem for him is where to go, we've seen time and again that power punchers lose their unique advantage when they go up through the weights but he's cleaned up here so hard to see much attractive to him or the promoters.

Hes quality! Its a shame the lighter weights dont get the recognistion they deserve in the main stream media and therefore the money! If he was welter or above hed be a household name around the world, unbelievable fighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many will be thinking that the real reason Beterbiev has backed away is because he might be glowing a little too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Naoya Inoue, take a bow son. First round aside, that was like watching a cat play with its food. Jubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubbs Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Easily the best in the world. Monster. Literally said he was happy to get knocked down! Massive puncher, great defensively and able to adjust to anything that's thrown at him. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Anybody watch Canelo? I know it sounds stupid, but if not for the drugs cheating hanging over him he'd be undoubtedly on everyone's all time greats list easily. He's getting grief for ducking Benavidez but I'm not sure why so many seem to think that's a scary fight for him. He fought GGG and Bivol. Ok, he timed the GGG one but they were still high risk fights that he wouldn't need to take if he was actually ducking people. I don't get it. That Mexican boar meat will always be brought up whenever they talk about the greats and his legacy damaged. I don't think I've ever seen Inoue fight. Just highlights.
