Adrien Broner's web series is the worst

golovkin is kinda scary; wish he was younger

he looked incredibly good. Like a middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I asked Lou DiBella, when do we make the GGG-Martinez fight;"We don't. This guys an animal." Hey, he's being honest #boxing

pretty good card on espn2 tonight - Mike Tyson's debut as promoter. first thing he did was walk unannounced into the broadcast area to apologize to Teddy Atlas and ask his forgiveness. Mike's psychic state is just so raw, his interview later was 1/2 AA/NA textbook and 1/2 evident soul-searching - when the interviewer asks "what one fight defined you?" he said "no one fight but if people want to understand Mike Tyson, the Buster Douglas fight to now." Said it twice. I'm always wanting for Tyson to redeem himself, to get the peace he clearly needs, though he's still unrepentant about his rape conviction I guess. but if he's talking to Teddy, jeez, anything could happen.

the fights themselves aren't huge names but they're good matchups. mendez v. usmanee right now is a tall guy vs a short guy but they're going at it phonebooth style, it's really good.

canelo ~5/2 seems surprisingly short

money mayweather

haye/fury >>>>

imo provodnikov/alvarado >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

johnny crunch otm. guess who'll be working where he literally will be completely unable to view the fight that night? me.

I like Canelo's chances but when Floyd got staggered by that giant Cotto punch we saw how strong his resolve is to not get beat. he's just so smart. we'll see.

Canelo fights for 30 seconds a round, this isn't happening. He's got a puncher's chance with his clubbing power but I don't see him winning a (legitimate) decision

was wondering y there was no 24/7 of this huh its a showtime production

i still like brian kenny even tho hes bad at twitter

a ton of money came in on a draw

i can see betting that

jack nicholson analysis otm

y does weezy claim blood

o shit bieber

wow good rd

oof.

is this fight as bad as it seems following #theone on tw1tter?

naw good fight

canelos rt is huge but so long/slow @ this level

floyd was literally never in trouble

majority decision lol

fucking boxing man

How that could be judged a draw is insane.

i didn't think canelo looked bad but every time he started to get something going it just felt like mayweather was toying w/ him.

I think the 116-112 and 117-111 cards were fine.

Richard Schaefer making it pretty clear that Danny Garcia is next

i went to bed immed after rd 12, 114-114 is so absurd

"Just because a judge's scorecard ends up even, doesn't mean the judge necessarily thought the fight as a whole was even," Kizer told USA Today.

"It could be that a judge has six rounds for each fighter, but the six rounds she gave fighter A, she gave them to him easily and the six rounds she gave fighter B, they were really close rounds.”

“That's pretty much how it was last night. I understand why there's criticism, because people think of the entire fight and think Mayweather was certainly the better fighter, so how can you have a draw? The answer is the scoring system."

lol ok

sigh... I really got my hopes up that they'd fire her

love this photo

Ruslan Provodnikov, I love you

yea ruslan is tuff as hell, amazing stuff

bummed I missed this for being at work, hoping to catch an on-demand when I get home - it sounds great. I like Alvarado real well but Provodnikov is just a force and it sounds like this fight was a lot of fun

would love to see Provodnikov-Marquez next

Raekwon rapped for Quillin during the ringwalk just now but the Showtime crew talked over it :(

bullshit call & bullshit cards on the Quillin fight. Hopkins up now. Ringwalking with his new nick "the Alien" in full effect, green mask & trim on black robe.
