First of all, what Fury says and what is legally bounding in a contract or terms are two different animals. Legal contractual terms dictate their fight and not accusations. Accusations can be handled as defamation in the court of law.
Sorry, but not buying the Tyson vs Jones exhibition. My lunch money that I held back for days will be spent elsewhere.
Flores bit off more then he could chew and Ortiz showed him what a true power punch felt like. The question is… Was Flores wanting to stop or not?
Flores did a desrving gold medal somersault.
I think they said Flores claimed that he took the forearm to the eye and it, at least temporarily, wrecked his vision. I don’t know. I’m not in his body. I have no idea what he was going through. But it looked like a soft knock down and certainly not anything to keep him down. From my point of view, it seems he had caught a couple of hard punches and didn’t feel like taking any super clean ones and I think the commission is doing the right thing in at least maybe having him give an ‘official’ explanation of what happened to him.
Yeah not buying the Tyson Vs Jones Jr exhibition bout, but will be looking forward to the highlights later that night. Alexander “The Fake” Flores looked like a deer caught in headlights as soon as he saw Ortiz inside that ring.
Garcia Vs Campbell plus Canelo sounds like a good card.
Wilder took way too much time to try to make a third fight with Fury. I’m not too excited about a third fight anyways.
There’s no way I’m not going to watch the Tyson-Jones thing. It’s a guaranteed waste of time and money, but c’mon on now, how can I not? It couldn’t be any worse than Refrigerater Perry vs Manute Bol, and that fight was awesome!…What to say about Alexander the Great? -They were obviously at two entirely different levels and Flores wanted none of it!….Sounds to me like Fury saying he won’ fight Wilder only stokes the fire for the rubber match. I think they will definitely fight before this time next year! The only thing that really talks in boxing is $$$
To me, paying for Tyson vs. Jones, Jr. equals:
HAAAAAAAA…NOOOOPE!!!
Good luck to the sucker(s) purchasing this fight.
When I was 8 Mike Tyson was my favorite fighter. It became Roy Jones after he defeated Hopkins for a long time and I wished they’d fought after Roy fought Ruiz. And being one of Roy’s biggest fans, I will not pay for that bout.
Flores may have giving up in that ring. If you think it’s better to lay down than to get KO’ed that’s his choice, seems really hard to prove.
Fury and Wilder will have a mediator this week go over the dispute. It won’t be Fury’s decision. He might be able to put a gag on Wilder during their negotiation.
Anyone else find it Ironic Canelo will be fighting on DAZN most likely with Garcia on the undercard? You just break a 385mil deal and your fighting on that network again with your fired promoter involved in the show.
Make no sense paying 50 bucks to watch two seniors dragging their age in the ring in an event called “The Golden Canne”, while we were able to watch Lomachenko vs. Lopez on freeTV. SMH!
To all the people saying “I won’t be watching Tyson Vs Jones because I’m not paying for it”….. Do you live under a rock?? I’ve been telling you guys forever to buy a $50 firestick from Amazon and you will NEVER pay for another fight again. I’ve been doing it for 5 years now and between UFC and boxing I’ve saved thousands. I will absolutely be watching Jones Vs Tyson free of charge!
Please enlighten me-What the hell is Firestick?
Just go to Amazon and get some tutorials on You Tube.
It’s made by Amazon. It’s a device you can buy and plug into the USB port on your tv and it will allow streaming of movies and sports and tv shows with a subscription. However, you can EASILY hack them with a 15min video on YouTube and gain access to thousands of movies and just about ALL live sports for free. I don’t have Netflix, I don’t watch tv shows or movies at all. I don’t even have cable, just internet. But I watched all NHL and MLB playoff games on firestick and of course all the fights. I’ll be watching Brook Vs Crawford on it this weekend. Even though it’s on ESPN lol. If you buy one let me know and I can help you hack it. I believe they’re only $50.
Right on, thanks for the tip!
Dude, should this be released? It’s pretty much hacking into a paid tv.
Not worried about it. If it were such a big deal Amazon wouldn’t make it so easy to hack the firestick. A 5 year old could do it.
The real buzz: Looks like Canelo will be fighting Callum Smith….
$50 for an exhibition? Only way that makes any sense (to me) is if all the proceeds are going to a genuinely worthy charity.
Personally I think Tyson v Jones is a bit of a circus.. Covid-Times eh?
Canelo v Smith is interesting, Smith looked bad in his last fight, but that was probably partially due to not being ‘up’ for Ryder.
If he can make weight without seriously draining himself he could give Canelo problems. Got to favour Canelo to win though….one way or the other.
Flores was under the radar before fightnews had me thinking this is the beginning of the end for Ortiz who I was hoping wasn’t finished yet the week of the fight had me questioning the type of fight the editor hyped that one up! That was good cuz fight was nothing like I expected and Ortiz remains a threat to the rest of the heavyweights not sure if he can drop to Bridgewater weight
I DON’T BLAME FURY FOR FEELING THE WAY HE DOES… BUT LIKE SCOOBY POINTS OUT IT’S REALLY NOT HIS DECISION… FIRST WILDER POSTPONES A FIGHT AND GETS A NEW DATE AND LETS THAT DATE SLIP BY WITH MORE EXCUSES… SO I SAY LET HIM WAIT NOW… IT IS HIS FAULT HE LET THE DATE SLIP BY… LET HIM WORK HIS WAY TO MANDATORY CONTENDER LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
Re Fury/Wilder – and I’m reading between the lines here – I reckon there was a timescale on the contract and that timescale expired.
I’ve not heard that they are going to try and obstruct Fury taking another fight which they’d surely do if they felt they had a case and more importantly Wilder actually wanted to fight Fury next.
I think Wilder never wanted the rematch and by the team letting the contract expire it’s a lame attempt to deflect it away from Wilder.
You also have to find it ironic that Wilder has fired Breland but that Deas is still on board despite it being this man (and not Breland) who oversaw the gloves being wrapped. He also handled the water so Breland was not the only one who did that even though DW has said that to be the case.
I used to think that it was his team that obstructed the fight with AJ but the more I see , the more I think that the team is taking the flak for Wilder’s decisions. If he really thought the gloves were tampered with he’d have fired Deas and any fighter who really wanted the rematch would surely have lambasted those who let the contract expire?
I have been joking but not realizing that this new weight division is for real not that we need one but they better be serious naming it after a real life hero! If the division doesn’t happen the least they can do with all their titles is give the kid a belt named after him
They are going with the “new” weight class to bring it attention and legitimacy. Also, historically, it will be the first major fight in the weight class accompanied by some BS diamond-platinum-adamantium-ruby-gold-candium-silver belt to commemorate the event.
Bridgerweight? Wtf?
