Can't wait for Top Rank Summerslam

Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins
Tyson Fury vs. Braun Strauman
Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez
Andre Ward vs. Jerry Lawler
Corey Graves vs. Timothy Bradley

 

[Mickey Massuco]

lmao ward would legitimately kill Lawler with his pawing jab

Graves vs Bradley though, I'd pay to watch that MMA fight

 

[Brocklock]

Fuck it even though the big guy looked to not be able to move at all give the people what they want

BUTTERBEAN VS BART GUNN II

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Rumor has it Mike Tyson may do another exhibition fight.

His handspeed was mad impressive for a 53 year old in that training video from the other day.

Eff it. Let's do Mike Tyson Vs Brock Lesnar at Top Rank SummerSlam.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Lomachenko is gonna face Teofimo Lopez in mid October

To update on the Adonis thing, he has a severe TBI and will likely be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Was curious and read up on Stevenson. Happy to say he recovered.

Oscar De La Hoya, 47, is planning to make a comeback.

He channeled prime Mike Tyson with that uppercut.

Bah gawd, Pac is gonna destroy him if this happens

Lmao I'm down with that loser picking up more way unnecessary brain damage.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

This guy was trying to pick a fight with Diego Sanchez.

Watch this fight:

 

[snuffbox]

Hell of a fight. Like a Foreman-Lyle of the junior welters. And the ref missed a knockdown of Baranchyk early in the 2nd.

 

[snuffbox]

I'll have to watch a video online when I get a chance. Don't have cable and too risky to go out in the cesspool that is bars in Wisconsin.

 

[AA484]

117-111, Lopez. A couple of 50/50 rounds there that could have swung a couple more for Loma but I felt that even in some of the rounds where he landed good strikes it was all he did for the entire round.

Anthony Joshua looked good today. Hopefully we get some superfights, maybe even with crowds, next year.

 

[alkeiper]

Watch this fight:

Took me awhile but this was great. Could only imagine what it would've been like with a crowd. Baranczyk's KO was a bit scary and the kind of thing that should honestly be career questioning.

Sometimes I like boxing as an artform. Many more times, though, I like it as a pure fight.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I prefer when the art form leads to the destruction, like Oscar vs Mayorga.

 

[snuffbox]

Garcia down in the second!

Garcia down in the second!

He's looking good besides that.

 

[snuffbox]

Yeah, he handled it like a veteran.

 

[snuffbox]

Perfect liver punch. Garcia is the real deal.

 

[909]

I was impressed that he got up and didn't get buzzed again. Thing is 135 is a stacked division and there's a couple guys in it who could beat the hell out of him if they were able to tag him like that.

 

[snuffbox]

I hope DAZN can make some of those superfights happen. I'd love to see him fight Davis, Haney, etc.

 

[snuffbox]

I get the young De La Hoya comparisons but that bodypunch reminded me of another relic from the 1990s: Roy Jones's ko of Virgil Hill on HBO.

 

[AA484]

Wow, if accurate:

Manny Pacquiao vs Ryan Garcia talks are real, and fight could turn into one of boxing’s biggest for 2021

Pacquiao-Garcia may be more than just an idea.

Best prospect in the sport Vergil Ortiz comes back against former beltholder Maurice Hooker on March 20th. That's a big step up.
