fucking pumped for the stevenson/valdez fight tomorrow night.  think it has the potential to be one of the best fights of the year.

also think people are sleeping on dimitry bivol against canelo next week.  canelo probably beats him, but bivol is a legit light heavyweight.

[hobbes2702 13074]

Keyshawn Davis looked awesome

[BigOrange1 6471]

yeah he did.  and nico ali walsh had a highlight reel KO in the opener.

fucking stoked for this stevenson/valdez fight.  love that i'm not having to stream it!

[BigOrange1 6471]

it's gonna take a special fucking effort for someone to beat shakur.

[BurdineBandit 815]

Taylor/Serrano was incredible. I haven't been a fan of women's boxing in a while, but damn did they knock that showcase out of the park. 

Disappointed in Stevenson/Valdez, but I see why they were dying to get Valdez in there. That size and length mismatch was outrageous. Stevenson needs to move up to get tested, nobody will be able to deal with his mastery of distance unless they're his length and can match the output.

KO in 6th

[hobbes2702 13074]

Yea I think Canelo probably handles things just fine 

[BigOrange1 6471]

[Zepol87 9191]

Agree, Canelo should have no problem

[hobbes2702 13074]

Bivol looks like he’s won the first two rounds and honestly is beating Canelo up a bit here in the 3rd

[hobbes2702 13074]

I have all three rounds for Bivol but I could see 2-1

[hobbes2702 13074]

I think it’s 4-1 Bivol

[hobbes2702 13074]

Canelo took 6 for sure. It’s either 3-3 or 4-2 Bivol imo. Porter had it 4-2 Canelo but I don’t see that. Canelo hitting a lot of arms. Bivol scoring points 

[hobbes2702 13074]

Bivol takes 7

[BigOrange1 6471]

i told you guys bivol is a legit threat.

[Zepol87 9191]

Yes he looks really good

[hobbes2702 13074]

At this point, imo, Canelo is too far down on points to win on the cards.

[hobbes2702 13074]

Good R9 for Canelo but he needs to start inflicting some damage or he’s going to lose

[hobbes2702 13074]

KO or bust for Canelo. Last round

[BigOrange1 6471]

the only way canelo wins is by 12th round ko or one of the bigger robberies in boxing history on the scorecard.

100%

[Zepol87 9191]

Yea Bivol is pretty damn good. Dude definitely shows 0 emotion

[hobbes2702 13074]

That was not 115-113. Judges tried as hard as they could to give it to Canelo there 

[BigOrange1 6471]

lol garbage ass scores but at least they went to the right guy.

[BigOrange1 6471]

beterbiev and joe smith fight on 6/18.  bivol needs to fight the winner.

[Zepol87 9191]

115-113 is horseshit

[Dennis Taylor 18874]

Fight was on at a restaurant I was at last night.  Haven't watched much boxing in awhile and hadn't seen Canelo before and I must say I was thoroughly unimpressed.  So many guys from the 80s would beat the living shit out of both those guys. 

[BigOrange1 6471]

canelo is awesome, he just bit off more than he can chew by fighting a legit guy at 175.  there still isn't anyone at 168 or below who can beat him.  most 175lbers couldn't beat him either.

[hobbes2702 13074]

How could anyone have Canelo winning all four of the first rounds. He didn’t throw at all. His was out landed basically 2-1

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Sleep tight, buddy. 

 

[BigOrange1 6471]

Janibek is a real threat at 160.  would love to see him fight andrade or the weaker charlo next.

also watched the benavidez fight.  i've never thought he was a real threat to canelo, but i'm starting to change my mind.  would love to see that fight next year.

Tank just put Rolly's lights out. What a left.

Dude’s a beast. Want to see him get his chance at a top dog

[hobbes2702 13074]

Romero won’t remember that walk back to the locker room. Dude is dreaming

[BigOrange1 6471]

 

[BigOrange1 6471]

berlenga is overrated as fuck.  my god what an uninspiring performance.

[BigOrange1 6471]

beterbiev and joe smith on espn tonight.  should be a slugfest.

[ss13 1832]

Tried to knock the beard off that dude. 

[maninblack 7974]

Just threw some dough on Joe +450

[maninblack 7974]

This isn't going to last long

[ss13 1832]

It certainly fucking didn't. 

[maninblack 7974]

And done. Beterbiev destroyed him

 

[Mo Horn 8855]

I watch a lot of boxing, but somehow missed seeing Beterbiev before tonight. He's a monster. Just raw power. Destined for bigger things. 

[Zeus 6128]

18-0 with 18 KOs

Is that pretty good?

[BigOrange1 6471]

gotta make beterbiev/bivol.  nothing else in that division matters.

[hpslugga 4062]

[BigOrange1 6471]

ryan garcia looked good last night.  he keeps calling out tank davis.  hope they make that fight.
