Great opening round in the Yafai fight. Serra wobbled him early but Yafai took over in the second half and scored a standing count
Jonathan Gray
Who's the better light middleweight prospect, Lubin or Hurd?
Dylan Sanchez
Italy is one of those countries that for whatever reason has a great amateur setup but almost no pro game
Isaiah Gray
Lubin.
Yeah I've always found that strange, they go all the way up to Heavy too.
Surprised some don't look at the NYC market perhaps to build a career.
Isaac Stewart
You see them fighting for European titles quite frequently
They're always really awkward
Yafai just beat the shit out of this guy though
Nicholas Lopez
Bateson is basic. He fights like an amateur from the point scoring era
Ryan Morris
I got to meet both lubin and keith thurman here in florida
Ian Clark
Keith Thurman looks like the type of person who watches anime unironically.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Italian boxers usually suck, italian - american were really good a long time ago.
Nicholas Perez
>talking shit about based paolo vidoz ayo hol up
Jordan Russell
Dalton Smith now. I heard he's good
Samuel Lopez
I've read that top Italian amateurs (e.g Cammarelle, Russo) get compensated by the goverment pretty well and don't have to turn pro. Most of their pros were average-decent amateurs. Look it up
Jacob Reed
SHAT AP BLAD
Luke Thomas
>be amatuer boxer >be compensated ?!?!?!?
Xavier Wood
They get Lottery and government grants here in the UK in order that they can train full time
Nolan Martinez
Dalton Smith reminds me of Callum Smith a bit in his style
Isaac Richardson
Depending on the country. Success in international competitions can mean monetary compensation by the government-private businesses.
I think I saw an interview with Loma saying he got 20000 as reward for a medal.
Jose Cook
cammarelle is a cop I believe, russo just travels around looking pretty and getting his picture taken lol
Asher Lopez
Any good ex Yugo countries boxers?
Robert Gray
>Broner-Granados Now at 147 Pounds, Not Original Weight of 142
>Adrien Broner said during a conference call Thursday that he won’t have any difficulty making weight for his fight against Adrian Granados.
>Their February 18 fight in Cincinnati initially was supposed to be contested at a maximum weight of 142 pounds, but Broner demanded an increase, after the fight was made, to a limit of 147. The weight was changed, according to Granados, because Broner got sick during training camp and would’ve had too much trouble making 142 pounds.
Lel this fat bastard can't even make anywhere near Junior Welter anymore.
Cameron Carter
Can't cut it at welterweight, needs to get the Pacquiao fight while he has credibility
Alexander Clark
>implying Pac isn't getting done by Australias own Jeff Horn
Cooper Torres
Broner is done man, it's over.
He's the epitome of a flat-track bully, he can only fight one way, and now he can't impose his size on anyone that deterrent to stop fighters coming inside barely exists anymore.
Caleb Sullivan
Granados is going to beat him
Camden Fisher
Zlaticanin
Brayden Ramirez
Granados is gunna Maidana him.
I still watch Maidana Broner on the regular.
Christian Bailey
pmsl at dirty fucking yanks acting as if Brook is afraid of Spence
Asher Barnes
Well wasn't his past fight at 140?
Gavin Murphy
He's not. But Spence will finish the job golovkin started
Aaron Watson
Can't wait for ARE Kell to E X P O S E this American hypejob.
Just another fighter fresh out of BUM CITY, a.k.a the American Olympic program.
Grayson Ross
has there been any news on his eye?
Josiah Butler
puffy nippled bollocks
Tyler Martin
>that based Maidana hump
Landon Martin
has there ever been a heavyweight that is as stupid as AJ?
Alexander Cox
Riddick Bowe and Ernie Terrel
Thomas Scott
dude, mike tyson? tyson fury? these guys are complete idiots
Samuel Wilson
I think Fury and Tyson are more self aware than AJ
Luke White
Joe,theirs gunna come a time when you'll have to do a favour for the family
Carter Moore
Neither of them are stupid. Mike Tyson reads philosophy and history books and Tyson Fury is a troll who's deceptively analytical. AJ is a robot who likes to talk about marketing and brands because that's what he's had drilled into him
Gabriel Hernandez
YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING GOT YOURSELF A GUN [shots of New York in the distance]
Nicholas Lopez
GABAGOOL!?
Bentley Parker
mike tyson isn't stupid, granted he's not the smartest, but his lisp and demeanour make him seem a lot less intelligent than he is
Ian Cox
lads gunna become a second rate british amatuer boxing prospect
get offered citizenship + house + car + money(relative) + plastic gf by azerbaijan
then just take that and live the easy life in obscurity
Daniel Bailey
He has an IQ of 300
Jayden James
tough, but too much slugging and not enough tekkers to compete in the big boi leauges
James Howard
almost high enough to be in the bogdanoffs inner circle
>“[Hearn] pushed him into this,” Wilder told a group of reporters during a break in the trial for his lawsuit against Alexander Povetkin in Manhattan. “Of course. Come on, man. Joshua didn’t call Klitschko out. Hearns did that. [Hearn] is like the new PlayStation, with the VC goggles, and Joshua’s just a fighter.”
>“David Price in the making. Look what happened to David Price. Don’t misword me on it. The way they structured David Price, moving him so fast, the whole England was behind him, when he wasn’t really proven for real. He wasn’t no killer. He ain’t really fought no killer. But they had him as the biggest thing in England. And look who come along? How old Tony [Thompson] was? Forty-something years old.”
>“I think it’s Eddie Hearn more so than Joshua wanna fight these guys,” Wilder said. “Eddie Hearn is making a killing off of these fighters. He knows what he’s doing. When you have a promoter that even before your fight you’ve got another damn fight lined up, come on, man. The boy don’t hardly get no kinda time off and break.
Yeah, and he still sounds pretty good. Some people just have unbelievable genetics I think. Scmeling lived to be almost 100 and was in great shape. Archie Moore got knocked out by heavyweights well into his 40s, had over 200 fights, and never slurred his speech even in his 80s.
Gabriel Kelly
Tony Demarco is in good knick aswell as far as i know
Logan Thomas
Looks like Shakur Stevenson signed with Top Rank
Mason Gonzalez
he looks extremely young for 19yo
Lucas Sullivan
No shit. Always nice to know that some of the old-timers manage to box without destroying themselves.
Justin Turner
wonder if its because they fought more often leaving less time to have loads of sparring
Jeremiah Lee
That's an interesting thought. Gym wars took their toll on a lotta guys over the years.
Evan Cruz
Those old school italians just don't die, my grandmother held on till 92 years old
Matthew Flores
That why Chavez sr seems to be looking well after 100 or so fights?
Ethan Carter
Somewhat a dirty bum
John Reed
I just assumed from the beatings he took he would have died in his early 50s
>tfw reading his wiki page says he literally has an unnaturally thick jaw and skull
That might be it. Just look at Money, even though he's a defensive wizard he's notorious for going life and death in sparring and it fucking shows anytime he tries to talk.
Kayden Wilson
I read a while ago they needed to cut the budget in order to prevent Murdoch buying them out.
Mason Adams
lol moore had the hagler thing?
Zachary Collins
Adrien "Weight Problem" Broner
He's too small for welterweight, and he's too lazy to make super light.
He's done.
Logan Hughes
GGG said they were doing one for his fight, and I assume they'll be doing one for Canelo/Chavez
Christopher Wilson
He must be pissed
Elijah Gutierrez
he's bigger that porter isn't he?
Jason Hernandez
Source? Would like to read up on this. Interesting since UFC fight night is basically propping up Murdoch's FS1 channel to compete with ESPN.
Also I remember reading that the promoter had to foot the bill for 24/7 but I could be wrong about that.
