The Staples Center in Los Angeles, site of many legendary boxing matches, will now be called the Crypto.com Arena.
6’6 super welterweight Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora vs. Erickson Lubin is being mooted as the co-feature for Benavidez-Lemieux early next year.
Can we all agree that Felix storm BEAT Oscar de la Hoya when they fought?
I thought he did deserve the win over Oscar but I don’t think that fight was a great robbery. I thought it was a close fight and Sturm should have won it.
Lopez is excellent, whoever is champion, Kiko or Galahad, I think he beats them. And a 6’6 Fundora against 5’10 Lubin is a good fight. If that doesn’t convince Fundora to not brawl and keep it on the outside, I don’t know if anything will.
Can we have new talent in the sport. Why do we keep going with these over the hill former fighters? He’s older now, he’s not gonna be better than last time. Boxing is a joke. He will end up being jake Paul’s opponent at some point fighting for a wba title.
Per Arturo, Felix won the ODLH fight, so good on him for extending his career. Istvan, ima root for you too. Let the best man win. Re Luis, decent gamble. Re Noel, sorry dude- don’t know you but good on you. I like what Probellum has been doing, so hope it works out. Re Caleb “Sweet Hands,” dude I’m gonna call you “Ham Hands” out of respect. Appreciate what you’re doing. Now “The Towering Inferno” gets me going. Lubin is decent quality, and a needed step, but I think Sebastian sails through this one. Peace to all and wishing joy and wonder to you and your families.
Sweet hams Plant is a much more accurate nickname. He found his calling.
Easy win for Lubin.
“….will now be called the Crypto.com Arena.”

” is being mooted ” A+ verbiage.
It isn’t Noel Michelin, but Noel Mikaelyan.
