Someone needs to call the police. Jose Perez just got robbed. He beat Duke Ragan. Ridiculous. Let’s gets some honest judges, please.

It’s good for a young prospect to be tested a bit. He’s been on the mat against a good opponent. Now Duke and his team can use that experience and adjust.
LSU whipping Auburn, so this fight should start on time for once.
I thought he won clearly, but I do not see Davis as the next great one that so many others do. He’s extremely talented but a lot of his fights, including this one, are very awkward and don’t have much consistency to them. Again, I thought he won, but this was not impressive.
Yes! Extremely talented but He seems to be missing that next gear. I noticed he has a residing hairline to young to be loosing his hairline.
“Seems to be missing that next gear”, is a great way to describe it USS. He seems like he plateaus in fights and you wonder exactly what he does when he gets into a fight that he isn’t leading and has to make adjustments.
Lucie, I actually agree with you. Definitely won hands down, don’t know how that score was 95-95. He may fight Jose pedraza if so, that will be very telling. On to the next fight.
Pedraza’s going to be at a severe speed disadvantage in that fight, but he does have that jab. I think Davis beats him but Jose will make it interesting and win a few rounds.
Torres is exciting but he is going to run into trouble when he fights the bigger HW’s. His short stature and reach is very noticeable. I also think he works to hard to get inside.
USS, yes, Torres is going to be in trouble once he starts facing the bigger HE’S. If Bridger were a proper, better weight division he would do well there. Enjoying his ‘show as it goes along, but it’s inevitable what’s going to happen.
Same thing I was thinking. If there’s good competition to fight at bridger if/when Torrez becomes world class, he should definitely go there. Otherwise he’ll run a risk of losing to just bigger, stronger.
Yet Usyk a 6’2 natural 199 pound guy is heavyweight champion.
Why are there so many casual boxing fans who think they are experts now days.
Lol in the last 13 years Usyk, Alexander Povetkin, Joseph Parker, Andy Ruiz, Ruslan Chagaev, Dave Haye were all heavyweight champions and they were all between 5’11 and 6’3.
But wait you will say but Tyson Fury is 6’9 (Of course Tyson Fury is 6’7) and he is heavyweight champion so you have to be taller to be champion right?
Stick to watch Dragonball Z kids.
Exactly my point. they all lost to bigger heavyweights. Also none of the guys you mentioned are under 6′.
Harry Sachs, whatever height Torres is, he fights like a short boxer, nearly face first and throwing a barrage of punches. The taller HW’s with their longer arms then probably, will take him apart. A lot like Alen Babić’s style that worked for a while, but a person could see what would happen, and it did.
Time to talk about Andy Cruz & his teammate Boots.
For those of you who do not know, Cruz is being trained by Boot’s dad. Boots thinks he has the tools to beat Bud Crawford. Not sure if I am going to taste that Kool Aid.
Anyway, Cruz beat the very overrated Davis 4 times in the amateurs, and I am pretty sure he will defeat Davis in the pros. Bozy Ennis is a great trainer. He will see to it that Cruz beats Davis.
I have a great idea. Main Event: Crawford vs Boots Ennis. Semi main event. Cruz/Davis 5.
Congratulations to Nahir Albright, for proving that Davis is a fraud.
