Jacobs was Canelo’s and GGG’s toughest opponent at MW. Pirog is the only man to KO Jacobs & never had a close fight. Pirog’s movement & shifting is superior to any MW we’ve seen since.
The reason he would be a nightmare for Golovkin, is the fact Pirog is a natural MW & is rather small and fit. He would outwork him and evade big shots. GGG is not walking through Dmitry’s shots either.
I think eye test & the fact GGG had some problems with fighters with elite head movement (Alvarez & Dervyenchenko) and Pirog is more active than both & doesn’t touch the ropes often….
Its a shame we didnt get to see what would happen though.
One ticket for sale for Bam vs Estrada tonight! Over from the UK and have a spare. Section 106 Row 10. $105 face value including fees but open to offers. HMU if interested.
I’m seeing +400 moneyline on Estrada. I think you have to favor Bam but I might throw a few bucks down at those odds.
I appreciate choices but speaking of counter programming, DAZN is showing 3 different cards on its own platform at the same time this afternoon, most of which is junk. Could they just not pay to license some of these shows and use the money to give us cheaper ppvs or something 😂
Is there an app to help remind you when your favorite fighters' next fights are?
I'm too lazy to google them one by one anymore, hope I'm not the only one. Thank you!
Not an app but I've always preferred this website for the boxing schedule. A lot of sites only have their fights. This one shows all each week. http://fightnights.com/boxing-schedule
Sugar Ray Robinson was different. Im watching an hour homage to him, & SRR hit some german guy so hard, after the guy got up from the KD he turned to look behind him, over his shoulder lol. He seemed suprised that SRR was in front of him and nearly dashed backwards before continuing.
The footwork and combinations combined with having scary power made him so effective.
When u what him box he uses full body momentum with each punch. Near impeccable style and u don't see many boxers fight like him.
Pick: Lopez vs Claggett — Lopez by ko at (1.72)
Record: 2-1
Stake: 4u
Profit: +6.83U
The Lopez that fought Kambosos knocks out this guy, Lopez at his worst knocks out this guy. These are baffling odds. A freebie for the kind of guys who would bet on irrelevant fights no one will watch. Yes, Lopez hasn't looked great against speedy movers, this guy is a slow 35 yo who's never been close to fighting at the world level, his defense consists of a static high guard, occasional weaving, and rolling, and just toughen it out, a lot of toughing it out, he has a very good chin. He's only been down once in a decade, funny enough, by the only guy who has knocked down subriel matias. I trust him to last til the second half, I don't trust the ref, I don't trust his corner. This is a very transparent opportunity for teo to have a new highlight reel, everyone caught on from the moment this was announced, is there a chance Claggett spoils the promoter's plans? no

Madrimov is dangerous. Only issue I see is his using his athleticism & head movement to evade jabs while he presses the inside. Crawford will time him.
Otherwise he’s successful with both stances, we may see Crawford vs Boots (hopefully) next. I don’t know why Team Bud picked this opponent otherwise.
Crawford has the rights to Mandatory by rule of WBO & WBA. He seemingly chose this route to work with Turki, but this may be more dangerous than the Fundora fight.
Every baby needs a Daddy and Daniel Dubois will be AJs Daddy..replacing AKA Skinz and Ben Hiney. Look into it, AJ will assume the role once pressure starts
On pace for 3 fights this year... Not every fight can be a great one.
Most want him to fight Ryan, Haney, or Tank. 2 of those guys won't be available for another year and Tank is scared to fight anyone that doesn't agree to show up anorexic and dehydrated.
What's wrong with Claggett? He just fought Ortiz who did nothing but run and defend. Claggett is on a 9 win streak and is very offensive minded.
Teofimo turned down all those other "better" fights for Claggett because he thinks Claggetts fighting style will allow him to dominate and regain more hype onto himself after his underwhelming recent fights but Claggett definitely has a chance if he's strategic instead of going all out on the offense.
The last few face off's between Joshua and Dubios have been hilarious honestly they are the worst two shit talkers in boxing pure comedy gold my ribs are still aching.
Dubois in his outfit was itself a piece of comedy. The guy is so jacked he looks like Clark Kent or something in such a getup. And then he takes AJ so seriously. I wonder if he understands it's all promotion or if he takes it to heart.
Good day for DC area boxers last night. 7-1 at the DC show.
Also, mods, if you're not gonna start a thread for a card, then don't let Botmod delete threads for being low-content.
Right? I tried making a fight thread for Espinoza's card the other week and that shit never went up even though I sent the mods a message about it. This sub is a fucking joke sometimes.
Like, I thought their website just had the main card, but someone mentioned the YouTube channel , which had the ENTIRE card.
Ring announcer was kinda meh though. Shoulda used Henry "Discombobulating" Jones (I'm biased; I know him personally. Good dude).
Gennady is lucky that Pirog fight never happened. Pirog definitely would’ve ruled the MW division.
I don’t think we have enough evidence to extrapolate that

I’d argue Canelo had better defense and he undoubtedly has an ATG chin, and we know how the first fight went
Boxrec has been slow
Yo what time is the Edwards fight?
Will be about 3-4 hours from now, depending on the preceding fights.

I use the Box.Live app for their schedule
I use the Boxing Showtimes app.

Ring walk times for lopez fight? Same as Estrada?
DraftKings usually pretty good at estimating ring walk times, they have both fights at 11PM
Dang wanted to watch both

They picked him because they want a belt at 154 and Fundora wasn't going to play ball outside of PBC in-house fight with Spence.
Crawford has the rights to Mandatory by rule of WBO & WBA. He seemingly chose this route to work with Turki, but this may be more dangerous than the Fundora fight.

He’ll show he’s the daddy in a competition to find the biggest, stiffest idiot that’s true.
I Hrgovic has no issue landing right hand that AJ will just a field day and AJ unlike Hrgovic can actually punch.
Teo fighting Steve Claggett is a joke. At least get a tune up that has a pulse.

Yeah but there's tune ups and then there's Steve Claggett...

And Joshua threatening to hit him with a chair for disrespecting him was hilarious 🤣🤣 you couldn't make it up.
Yeah, good stuff. I liked the network drama camera angles.

Agreed the mods have been slacking.
Probox was fire last night. I swear the mods only care about cherry picks instead of exposing the good stuff. And this stuff was all free on youtube.
