Canelo vs Jacobs.

I had Canelo, but I passed on watching it live, wasn't really a fan of the matchup on paper, + fighting Canleo on DAZN you are going to have to KO him or box flawlessly to get the W, something I couldn't see Jacobs doing. 

Also been disgusted with Boxing lately, the Garcia Spence fight left a bad bad taste in my mouth. 

And Fury Wilder not re matching WTF  ( which was the best fight of the year IMO  is BS) 

Sick of this Sh*t

As a die hard boxing fan, I agree. Wilder fury 2 should have happened, there is no excuse. Wilder v AJ should have happened, there is no excuse. It’s sad we have all these champs that don’t want to fight each other (I’m a wilder fan) and when they do fight, there is some BS controversy that takes away from the fight (canelo v GGG fights). 

Thank goodness for my boy Lomachenko, without him and Bud Crawford, it would be tough for me to watch boxing.

Same here huge boxing fan, and just fed up with this BS

The welterweight division is stacked, these guys should be fighting each other, Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Spence, (Crawford now competing at 147) 

The Heavyweight division is as competitive as its been in 2 decades, yet they all avoid each other.

Everyone is afraid to lose 

The problem with Lomachenko is if he hasn't already is he's going to run out of people to fight at 135, he might have to take some crazy chances and move up past whats reasonable to make some $ and get some fights, hopefully that doesn't happen.

Loma said he’d move up and fight anyone, I just hope he doesn’t try and take on too much. Maybe after Wilders fight on the 18th, he will try and go for Fury again? They both said they want it to happen.

Yeah there are definitely some fights for him at 140 but I think that's going to be his ceiling. I would love to see him fight Gervonta Davis but again promoter politics will probably prevent that from happening, & Gervonta is maybe not ready but it would be an entertaining fight to make.

Fury, Wilder, Joshua,  one of them SHOULD be fighting the other by the end of the year. I'm hoping for the best but none of these promoters work with the other, and I wouldn't be shocked in the least if we didn't get another top heavyweight fight in 2019.

Crawford Spence would be great at WW - probably not going to happen 

Boxing the ultimate love / hate sport :eyeroll:

I’ve been a big boxing guy my whole life but over the years it’s just gotten worse and worse. I still watch some but I don’t enerslly think it’s worth it to pay big bucks for the PPV or even go to a bar to watch them. I definitely won’t watch another Canelo fight until he fights GGG again and GGG doesn’t get fuged by the judges. Decent fight on cable tonight I’ll be watching soon, Hurd/Williams

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
