IdigtheRaiders! Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I'm a bit late to the party, but I just got back from a 2-week long field exercise along with the entire 2nd Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division (side note: you don't know what cold is until you do a Mountain Peak outdoor exercise at Fort Drum in upstate New York in the winter.....). Watched Fury/Wilder II. Gotta give props to Fury, the Gypsy King is back. After everything he's been through after beating Klitschko, it's incredible to see him back on top. IMHO, he's the clear-cut favorite to beat Joshua. As for Wilder, he needs a new trainer who can add some technical skill to his lethal power. His mental state after defeat will go a long way in determining how he recovers from this. The minute I saw blood pouring out of his ear, I knew it was only a matter of time. If Wilder uses this loss to give himself a lot more determination and grit to get better and come back, then bring on the rubber match (preferably AFTER Fury/Joshua, though). I still think he's realistically capable of knocking Fury the spark out, so it will come down to whether or not he can come back mentally stronger from defeat. Random thought: Would anyone be interested in seeing Rigondeaux move down or Gonzalez move up to see a Roman Gonzalez/Guillermo Rigondeaux matchup? Both guys are showing that rumors of their demise were exaggerated, and their respective styles would make for an intriguing fight (IMHO).

Chocolatito is already a small 115 pounder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hey the thread title is relevant again. Hopefully it’s another good fight, and GGGs last was just a fluke. We’ll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Gabriel Flores, Jr looks legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Don't think it'll happen by any means but I wouldn't be shocked if Wilder knocks out Fury in the next fight and Fury takes him lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 If pacman wants to actually fight GGG that'd be nuts. Probably just a rumor though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a rumor though No chance that fight happens but prayers for Pacquiao if it did lol. So looks like we should be starting to get the big names out soon. Spence vs DSG is rumored for the fall, Davis vs LSC in September, Lomachenko vs Lopez in October, Joshua vs Pulev in November, Canelo vs potentially Callum Smith in September and Charlo vs Derevyanchenko sometime in the fall. Now, let's see how many of these fights actually happen due to Covid. Damn near two fights a card are falling apart for TR cards due to someone testing positive a few days before the fight.

He will have held titles in 9 (!!!) different weight classes. Is that enough to surpass Ali as the GOAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Showtime's upcoming schedule is pretty sick. Time to get the big boys back in action now. Canelo vs Callum Smith is the word for September which is a good fight. Spence vs Danny Garcia may be announced next week and hopefully soon we get word on Lomachenko vs Lopez.
