beekay414 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm starting to hate boxing TBQH. MMA has blown so far past it, it's ridiculous. Boxing wastes sooooooooooo much time in getting marquee matchups done. Why do we continue to waste time, at this point, on Bud Crawford vs Kell Brook and Errol Spence vs Danny Garcia? This is why having so many different promotions is friggin' stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why having so many different promotions is friggin' stupid. Too many networks/promoters are definitely an issue. But Spence vs DSG is perfectly fine with Spence coming off the terrible accident. Let's see if he is even the same fighter. I actually don't mind Crawford vs Brook. I think this fight is going to a lot more competitive than people think. Do I think Brook wins? No, but can he win his fair share of rounds and make it close? I think so. Crawford is on record saying he's not happy with TR and only has one fight left on his deal after this fight. Don't be surprised if we get the classic TR suspect decision if it is even relatively close. Looks like Canelo is going to fight right back on DAZN against Callum Smith. That's a solid fight, but one Canelo should clearly win. Hopefully after that fight he gets Charlo or Plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 @J-ALL-DAY No, I get it with Spence and the accident. It's more of me venting about boxing in general. Too many cooks in the kitchen and the fighters don't have a big enough say in what they can do. Cut down on both the organizations and the promotions because boxing is too watered down.

beekay414 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Tyson Fury is still the best P4P fighter on the planet. I know P4P lists love the little guys but nobody has what Tyson has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Bud Crawford picks up the pace in a major way and destroys Brook after Brook got off to a nice start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada is the only place using the replay right now. Gonna be some bumps , although this was a big miss, but it's not gonna deter the sport.

This was a review, not a 3 minute based judgement. Moloney beat dudes *** and he still got screwed by the review and either Bradley or Ward called it (I think it was Ward). And that Canelo-Mayweather fight was lolworthy yeah. My buddy and I rewatched it last night while talking on Discord and came out with a clear 9-3 advantage for Floyd, which lines up to the other 2 cards (believe they were 8-4 and 9-3).

My point is despite boxing's miscarriages, it's not going away. Wouldnt say he beat his a$$, but he looked good and should have won going by the rules. I think ESPN could have shown them when in the round the jab happened because with the real time angle they kept replaying, you barely saw the jab. The super slowmo demonstrated it clearly, but they weren't looking for it in real time replay. Either way immediate rematch is gonna happen.

beekay414 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I mean, prime example, Bud Crawford is considered the P4P best but I guarantee casuals don't know him. You ask a casual who Conor McGregor is and you're going to get a definitive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
