And u said Sugar Ray didnt do that. Umm yes he did. He retired and waited for years for Hagler to slow down to come out of retirement and fight him. Not when they was both hot and on top of the world. U have a point with the Wilder vs Joshua but not in this case. Boxing has done nothing wrong.Blame the boxers and the commission. They are suppose to make sure people fight and get penalized and honor their mandorities.

Even though Ruiz beat Joshua notice how he said Joshua had to give Ruiz a rematch. This dude has a problem with 1.nikola jokic 2. Canelo Alvarez and now 3. oleksander usyk It's quite clear what the agenda at ESPN is and it's also quite clear why they got rid of max kellermen. No wonder teo fimo Lopez said what he said

For the real boxing enthusiasts. These fights have been great! Wilder a shell of himself!?!?! We all know who Wilder is. A powerful puncher. That is it! Joshua has a suspect chin...we know that! Canelo should fight Benavidez but he learned from Mayweather for max earning! Canelo has already declined the Crawford fight. Boxing is a business first and foremost. The UFC, while it is a business, it has a forgiving audience. Boxing does not.

The difference with UFC is they've made it to where losses arent a big deal. It's the fighter and the personality that matters. In boxing the record is the bigger deal than the fighter and they basically throw guys away after a few losses.

This is something few recognize about the UFC and the way they do marketing. You will often see Dana White wheel out one of his champs and proclaim them to be the best fighter in the world. I have to scratch my head at this because the champs are usually some losers who failed to make it on the olympic level. When your champion is a jobber like Sean Strickland, you have to ask some serious questions about the product being sold here.

Ironically Fury was runing the entire fight using his jab to unsuccesfully fight of Usyk. In round 9 Fury was runing away acros the entire ring bounding of the roaps. The ref got in Usyks way and Usyk had to push him away to get to Fury and later on the ref saved Fury from a 100% KO. The left hand was wound up and ready to deliver the crushing KO blow. After what happened in round 9 its arrogant to claim victory. That mentioned i had the fight 8-4 in Usyks favore 7-5 at bets.

SAS does not know the difference between UFC and boxing. The UFC is a company where the fighters can be considered its employees. It also holds and determine who gets to fight for championship and stuff. It also has its own broadcast partner. Boxing, meanwhile, is a field/industry that contains many players: promoters, broadcasters, belt organizations, boxers, boxers' management teams, etc. So, organizing a boxing fight, especially at the highest level where championship and popularity statuses are at hand, is incredibly hard as no side would want to lose out on a one-and-done opportunity. There are just so many moving pieces in organizing a boxing fight, thus the rewards are higher. There is a much centralized control in organizing a UFC fight, so we have fighters getting paid so little and other restrictions.

no one will repeat such a distinguished sports career as Usik’s! Usik has fought more than 300 fights as an amateur, European champion, World champion, Olympic champion, absolute champion in cruiserweights, and now absolute champion in super heavyweight!! Usik is a super boxer! and the referee saved him from Knockout in the 9th round, he stopped and started counting for almost 20 seconds and allowed Fury to come to his senses! The referee simply doesn’t know that in pro boxing they don’t count a standing knockdown, they only stop for a technical knockout!! rematch Fury will fall and not get up or the referee will stop the fight round 6!! since Usik studied it completely!! Fury has no room to grow, he has stopped developing!!
