Spence vs. Porter Jr. right now. Solid fight, solid way to spend a late Saturday night.

115-112, 115-112, 114-113 in favor of Golovkin over Dereyvechenko tonight. Tons of people saying it was a "robbery", which it wasn't. GGG won that fight, but it was a really good fight. Just because an opponent does "better than expected" doesn't mean they automatically win the fight. People are also forgetting GGG is 6-7 years out of his prime going on 38. Canelo will be next, if, IF Canelo can get past Kovalev. That is an insanely dangerous fight, regardless of how much of a drunk Kovalev is now.

I still think GGG and Canelo is a very close fight. GGG has been old for a few years now, and Canelo isn't the come forward swarmer Dereyvenchenko is. That being said, I am cool if they go their separate ways... That 3rd fight will happen though, assuming Canelo doesn't get annihilated by Kovalev or something. Way too much money I'd imagine.

Stomach dropped this morning when I saw this. Dude is very lucky to be alive, and on top of that it sounds as if he was ejected and has only really suffered "broken teeth".... Gotta be smarter kid. I have met him before and was a super chill dude. Hope he recovers fully.

for GGG and DAZN yes, for Canelo, no, he's on that contract. There wont be much of a difference for him.

This is true, forgot Canelo & GGG were both on contracts. That being said, DAZN executives will certainly push this. GGG could still benefit, he actually owns stake in DAZN as a part of his deal.

If bored there is an absolutely fantastic LHW fight right now on ESPN. Realistically probably between two of the three (other being Bitol) best in the division - Beterbiev & Gvozdyk.

Both really good amateurs. Beterbiev had tons of hype, a borderline unkillable Russian with some skills. Injuries have slowed him, but he might be one of the best boxers on the planet. Very young Golovkin-esque.

This Ortiz-Wilder II fight is historically boring. Just, really bad. Polar opposite of the 1st.

edit: And Wilder can be awful for 7 rounds and do that. Fuck just a very short right hand.

Wilder did say the Fury rematch will happen in February, so there is that. Thank God.

Deontay Wilder Tier 7 Paladin

Wilder is a beast, that right hand is lethal when it connects. I just wish he wouldn’t spend the whole fight looking for that one knockout blow. I’m not a fan of Fury’s antics, but in shape he’d beat Wilder and he arguably outboxed him in their last match.

Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight alive, and I think he will prove that come February 22nd. Fury, Wilder, Joshua (assuming Joshua doesn't shit the bed in this rematch).

From Jack slack

This man makes nonsense out of all fighting science. He did it again, but I kind of love it.

"But there has never really been a boxer like Deontay Wilder—he might rank among the strangest fighters in history. He towers over most of his opponents but where Anthony Joshua buffed up and Tyson Fury cannot help but come in heavy, Wilder often chooses to come into fights just over the cruiserweight limit. He stands almost completely side on and half-assedly jabs for rounds at a time, giving away points on the cards and waiting for the moment that he can drop his right hand. When he actually has opponents hurt he cannot help but sprint in, windmilling like he is on a local tough man show. He hits the body maybe twice a fight. He is willing to let his opponent throw and land punches at a higher rate than him just to time them with the one good shot. And frankly, there is no shot quite like it. From Louis to Marciano to Tyson, there might never have been a heavyweight champion with the one punch finishing power that Wilder has."
