  • The Paul bros are lined up to be the some of the highest paid boxers this year. I aint mad at them.

    • Whoever would have thought wealthy YouTubers manufactured into professional fighters by a slip of paper [called a license] can jump ahead of the line for matchups in 2021? Nothing surprises me in this day and age. The term “entertainment” is defined without boundaries anymore! LOL

  • Don’t expect Pacman vs. Kingry any time soon.

    Was anyone expecting this anyways?

    Trevor Bryan? Heavyweight Champion? smh

    • You mean Trevor “The Impervious Pulverizer” Bryan? Of course he’s Heavyweight Champion. He beat BJ Flores and Bermane Stiverne. He has the credentials.

      Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about that card was just hilarious….from the whole situation with Charr, to the promotional video, to them sticking Stiverne in a World title fight. The commentary, well, they were saying things like:

      “Stiverne’s in fantastic shape”

      “These are two of the most skilled fighters in the division”

      “Stiverne’s style is reminiscent of Joe Frazier”

      Nate Campbell on Stiverne keeping his left hand down: ” That’s like a lure. That’s like when you fishing. You don’t just umm, put the rod and reel in the water, you shake it a little bit”

  • Based on his performance against the skilled Postol, I don’t give Ramirez a chance against Taylor. I believe Josh Taylor will be the first man to defeat Terence Crawford.

    • That is a bold prediction. I hope you’re right. UK needs a superstar in the lower divisions right now.

      • Josh Taylor style is all wrong for Crawford, also his ring IQ is very high. Don’t forget Crawford is getting old, while Taylor is about to reach his peak. Taylor vs. Crawford could happen before the end of this year, assuming he will win his fight against Ramirez. It’s the only high profile fight available for Top Rank at 147.

    • Mikemiguel, wasn’t the last time there was an all bet unification when tzyu fought Judah?

  • Don King has been out of sight and out of mind for awhile (for me anyway), but the shameless corruption that was completely obvious to everybody with this most recent card reminded me of what an absolute phallus this guy is. If boxing wasn’t a thing, he’d still be a small time hustler on the streets of Cleveland. This dude is 89 years old, and still as shady as he’s ever been. He still has no idea how to conduct business in a clean manner. The fact that he has been able to thrive in boxing this long says a lot about the sport. It makes me sick that this walking excrement was able to reproduce on three occasions.
