Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

listened to some v good podcast discussion on the buildup and eh yeah forgot to catch it ffs

My objections to Fury are all boxing-related tbh

ok but set against wilder and he looks like a phd in the sweet science tbh

i put some of wilder up on the tv earlier and swear to fuck one of his misses knock a lamp off my mantelpiece

lol

fury has said some really horrible and objectionable shit. he is a really powerful advocate for mental health awareness though, do give him some respect for that

and he can box

wilder seems like a deep down decent dude but he flails so much. money's on fury gassing and then getting clocked a belter

And like if anybody can outmaneuver Wilder's anti-aircraft right it's the dude whose movement confuses people

Hoos there's some Canelo GGG 2 talk right above my Inoue revive

The real fight everyone wants to see is Spence vs Crawford, which will happen eventually. I can hardly even imagine a more compelling fight, but then I thought that about Loma vs Rigondeaux lmao

I bit the bullet but this is pretty good

Fantastic fight

where can I re-screen

lmao at fury getting up from the second knockdown. looked like the undertaker

OK maybe should have stayed up

What a fuckin ending

never seen someone escape airplane mode so fast

The shutdown/restart sound effects though lol

I hope Lampley doesn't disappear. Larry Merchant, otoh... (he's 87 so it's probably final bell for him)

i legitimately am warmed by how often lampley seems to cry

lol

Funny, that's what i said when i heard

Rounds 3 and 7 amazing stuff. So awesome for Mexico

James Corden to play Ruiz in the movie.

WHAT IS oCCCCCCURRING IN THERE?!?!?

LOL "No...I heard the bell!"

that is fucked up

what a mess

last night i was on youtube playing old fights while i half paid attention and letting the algo pick, and so was just super entranced by the last exciting round of Chavez vs. Taylor II before it got to the final seconds and the angle on the ref suddenly clues me in that I've seen the very end of this fight before:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgenYK7VaxY

but i'd totally forgotten it was coming and it felt like i was reacting to it in real time, just shocked!! which gave it a whole extra level of fun. an unbelievable if safe ending.

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH LOU DUVA GO CRAZY NOW
YOU'RE GONNA WATCH LOU DUVA GO ABSOLUTELY BERSERK

sit down

Well maybe I misjudged the guy

he entered on a king carrier to a soundtrack of patsy Cline's Crazy - that is incredible!

ouch!

I feel a bit rough today but thank fuck I'm not Wilder.

Got up to watch this, unbelievable performance from Fury

And a genuinely weird ring walk

Thought Wilders corner waited waaaaaay too long to throw the towel in. Once they got through that next full round of not being able to get his legs under him after the knock down they shoulda called it. He wasn’t gonna be able to do anything and that was all damage that coulda been avoided. Wilder really just sits back waiting to throw that right and has no clue what to do otherwise.

Are we gonna get fury vs Joshua or what.

Yeah it was scary for Wilder from the body-shot knockdown onwards, think the ref was seconds away from stopping it himself.

My understanding is that Joshua would need to fight or pay off Pulev and Usyk before fighting Fury, and Fury can’t deny Wilder another fight if he wants it. Feels like it’ll be 2021 if they do get it together...

want fury to do josh

probably drag on and on and never happen why because boxing

The commentating was awful, making no note that Wilder was out on his feet for half the fight.

fury would have done better if his ringwalk crown had not been so heavy

if he only had to sing the 'crazy' song one time through instead of two

Yeah I get endorsement deals outside of boxing, something you don’t know about bc you hit woman https://t.co/TLWex733cN
