Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Yeah, that dude did better than I thought. Would like to see linares face Garcia first tho
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

I love Linares style but I think Garcia would knock him out. 46 fights is a lot of miles on his chin which is already a little weak. 10 years of hard fights too.

JARRETT HURD THIS IS A REAL FUCKING FIGHTER
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

I thought Lubin was gonna win. Shocked that he got one punched.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Stiverne didn't even train for that fight lol

How terrified do you think that ref is?
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Lomachenko totally clowned him. Rigondeaux may have connected 5 times.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Claimed a hand injury. Guess he hurt it when they touched gloves?
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

On the mitts before the fight? Lol
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Guys, if you haven't seen the two quarterfinal bouts for the Super Series cruiserweight tournament, check them out. Usyk vs. Briedis and Gassiev vs. Dorticos. Both very good fights.

ORTIZ/WILDER BAH GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Wilder wins, but doesn't look so great doing it.

Meanwhile on HBO Kovalev destroys another opponent.

They don't have USADA rules though so the fight is still on. He's blaming Mexican Cowmeat btw.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

The Mexican meat is a legit excuse because this has happened numerous times.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Yeah the NFL warned their players about it:

Does he gain an advantage from eating these based futuristic steroid meats?
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

That's what Luis Nery blamed his positive test on last year.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Anyone watch the Top Rank Boxing fight on ESPN the other week? Oscar Valdez fought half the fight with a broken jaw but still won. Meanwhile, Scott Quigg (who came in overweight and was ineligible to win the title) suffered a broken nose himself. Just a filthy, grinding fight in the rain.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

I think he has a last ditch hearing on April 10 to prove that it came from the beef, although it doesn't look like they are confident of success considering that they are offering refunds to the fight.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Important to note it's cancelled because Canelo withdrew from the fight. I'd say his team is hoping they can clear this up and avoid a suspension so this was the smarter play.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Hair test shows that Canelo wasn't intentionally taking clenbuterol. You can't cheat those either.
 
Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread

Went to the fight. We were rooting hard for Linares, glad he fought well but lomachenko a beast.
