Crawford didn't have an ounce of fat on him and he gained 20 pounds over his welterweight fighting weight and he had excellent stamina for a fighter who was carrying 20 pounds of excess muscle on his frame. In the old days of boxing you saw the weight gain of fighters who did this in their...

Hatton had personal life issues with alcohol and rumored narcotics(cocaine), He also never skipped a meal but dying at 46 is very premature. It seems like he was turning his life around in the last few years with part time training work as the head trainer of a few boxers and assistant training...

Yes I agree awful performance he never took it out of third gear and didn't look like he was capable of it either. Contrast that with what he did in the two wars with GGG to this performance and it was night and day what his abilities are now. I don't know if Crawford could hang with that...

He was an opinionated poster who could be abrasive but there was no denying his historical knowledge of boxing and NYC in in the 60's and 70's through the 80's. The boxing forum will miss his knowledgeable posting on the history of the sport. Sad to hear the news...

This weekend is another SB weekend for boxing as the British card is a prelude to the Las Vegas super card. Donovan vs Crocker was one way traffic in the first fight as the Republican was too fast for Crocker I can't see what adjustments he can make to deal with Donovan's superior hand and...

I have heard great reports on the Afro-Cuban fighter but have never seen any of his bouts, Shishkin was last seen losing a debatable decision loss to Scull who late in the fight ran more than he fought. If Shishkin loses this one he could become a B side gate keeper type he needs to close the...

What gay lovers quarrel is going to push Fig Newton out of the closet he is begging to be outed... PS this happened to Dwight Howard...

This is a celebrity boxing card with real fighters mixed in with Youtube personalities. This card is similar to when alleged wife beater Greg Hardy knocked out the mediocre son of Hasim Rahman. It's also a PPV so I question the intelligence of people that will pay for this dreck but these days...

I remember when the Bills were in the middle of the 17 year playoff drought the Bills used to have a cadre of Canadian players who were back of the roster type players. The most famous Canadian Bill is Steve Christie but Tim Tindale was a PFA who was on their roster for a few seasons.

Not a shock as he won a world level medal in the individual event. I recall Daley Thompson having the ability to win a medal in the same event but he never entered in long jump but I recall him jumping better in the individual event of the decathlon than the bronze medalist at the 84'...

Fat Bastard is up to old tricks. Webster's Dictionary has been reinventing the English language to placate the woke agenda. Well a new term should be invented for White power backs being cut call it Ripowskied as Steele was shown the door in a similar manner after having similar touches Rip...

Yes a slow weekend with the British prospect card probably the best watch of the weekend. I scarcely saw a name I recognized on the two North American cards. I recognized a few names or at least bloodlines on the Australian card with Alex Lepai and one of the Dibs who are Lebanese Australians...

I concur with both of you he had a look of condemned prisoner walking to his execution and fought as bad as any shot former champion or contender who should retire. This is boxing so he will get offers for a b side bout against somebody looking to make a name off of the ghost of Whyte...

Yes he had a rocky moment late in the 8th round but he rode it out similar to Zhang when he was dropped by him. This fight was largely one way traffic. Nick Ball who fights similar to a Saxon warrior from the historical drama The Last Kingdom out worked the less dynamic Goodman but seemed to...

This week has only one card that the boxing public will go out of their way to see and it's the Itauma vs Whyte card. Nick Ball has a title defense against Sam Goodman and Hrgovic fights Adeleye in a cross roads bout so White boxers are represented in this poor man's super card. The big...

I noticed a noticeable amount of the freaks are foreigners, 3 German nationals and one South African. I remember a few years back the Bills had a South African lineman who was a converted field athlete. I think he ended up being active for a few games in the NFL.

He's probably the best talent in middle distance racing since Jim Ryun two generations ago. As others stated his time would be a 9.8X low if he were a sprinter which is totally insane. In some ways since you need to build an endurance base for world level 800m runs it might be even harder than...

Yes a slow weekend with only Duarte being the only White boxer on both shows as far as I can tell. I looked up the Libyan show and it has legitimate boxers on it. The last I heard the country was carved up into warlord controlled sectors similar to Somalia and other failed states. Either the...

There is so much hypocrisy surrounding the death of Hogan when it comes to his private conversations. I dare the stone throwers to have their private conversations exposed and we would see homophobic, racist and whatever PC faux pas exposed. From what I have read he never refused to work with...

I agree he is probably at a local hero type but that type of fighter makes what 25K a fight maybe 50K and if he becomes a regional hero he could end up making up to 200k a fight. The lowest amount Paul has made since the knockout of the former NBA player is probably 10 fold of the 200k...

It looks like a slow weekend probably the most disturbing news this week is Eddie Hearn and camp Joshua are all full steam ahead in signing a Jake Paul fight. I suppose if the Saudi's are willing to finance this mismatch it will happen but I hope it's not in a serious jurisdiction as Paul will...

Yes I agree I didn't see him having the size to take power shots from a Joshua type or Wilder but his ability to roll with power shots is uncanny. It's amazing but beyond securing his future economically he really had no need to fight at cruiserweight when you look back at what he has done at...

Only Ali had his guile but Ali bent the rules with excessive holding and pushing down the head of Frazier whenever they clinched but as I stated before he was a mummy by the time he challenged Holmes at 38 for the lineal title in 80'. Usyk doesn't bend the rules at all as I have never seen...

He took Dubois to school I knew the fight would be the same after the 1st minute less a weird bomb that Usyk didn't see but unlike Joshua he isn't reckless to land a shot. Usyk seems like a cat playing with a mouse when he has a guy hurt and until that moment he is cat clawing at the dog. If...

Updating the Usyk vs Dubois II undercard and Vladyslav Sirenko was largely boxed out of the ring by the mediocre Solomon Dacres who just did basic gym boxing without much power but Sirenko who was impersonating Robby the Robot couldn't raise his game beyond one punch in the 8th round that cause...
