Youll be alseep by the co-main event.
We will enjoy it for you.

I hope I won't be asleep. 4:45 am now
Still not sleepy. And I got every drinks in my fridge

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Lennox finally looking a bit old

 

[Jonny Ninja]

good young fighter

i'd like to see him step up a bit now, maybe a David Allen or someone of that level before he moves up further

i wouldnt complain about him being put in with Chisora

It’s gonna be really difficult to match him. He’ll blow through any journeyman, domestic level fighter but he’s still a kid. Is he ready for big HWs at that level? It would be a big risk. Skill wise he’s already as good as anyone in the division outside of usyk

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Did not realize Kovalev was fighting

 

[Blastbeat]

Yeah drinking an energy drink soon
Tough one
If I'm going off recency bias, and boxingmath (if there's such a term) we saw fury almost lose to francis, who Joshua destroyed and usyk beat Joshua twice

But Fury at his peak was a monster. If we get the same Fury that whooped Wilder I see it being a competitive fight with Fury maybe overpowering him in the clinch and out boxing him

I think Usyk wins 8 rounds to 4. And you?

I'm thinking either 7-5 or 8-4 Usyk. Of course there's always the possibility Fury makes it dirty and we get a SD. but based on resume and skills I can't not pick Usyk.

 

[Croaker]

Why would he, he was a junior?

There are good amateurs at every level.

i mean, he isnt, but i would give him Allen next and then Chisora, if nothing else Chisora will be tough as nails and not just fall over for him

the big fat American fella may be a good option as well

 

[kenji goh]

Itauma seemed very good. Very relaxed and defensive responsible even upclose with the opponent and powerful as hell.
Glad there is new good blood.

He was British, European and world gold medalist at junior level. So he obviously beat the other good amis at his level - lol

You could just look at his amateur record

 

[Noveltymortar]

Bob Arum has those William Shatner genes. 92 and still sharp.

 

[666]

Bob Arum is smarter than me

 

[treelo]

well, maybe my posts about the fight order wasnt correct, Sanchez coming up next

 

[treelo]

ive not seen a lot of Sanchez, but what i have seen i think he is very lazy and inactive, so this will be interesting

Where is location (Khabib voice) if you don't mind asking? So UFC usually early morning for you then?

9.05pm here (Germany)

As if you know who the best juniors HWs are. No one does unless they are somehow involved in boxing at that level. He was unbeaten as an ami, and was world gold medalist. Hes clearly fought some of the best of his peers. He’s not gonna be competitively fighting well known amateur boxers at 15/16 years old is he?

 

[Daewoo]

Stream?

 

[GreenGorilla]

Sanchez looked Shook

You can go and check and see what they moved on to. Junior boxing is a shitshow in itself, but there are plenty of juniors who go on to either go pro or have decent amateur careers. The point is, him being undefeated as an amateur doesnt mean anything. Its not a slight against him, hes a developing and talented fighter. There is just no point to bring up his amateur accolades.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Kabayal looked really impressive in his last fight but he was fighting a big, stiff lump. Sanchez is gonna cause him far more problems. Interesting right. Kabayal can outwork Sanchez, but Sanchez is the better boxer, and seems to have more power
