Yeah, Floyd will be really confused, nothing like he has seen before.

bros im worried that GGG came to camp so out of shape this time

>>77235474
im not worried
I think GGG will have an easier time than the jacobs fight

like he didn't knock jacobs out, but thats not because he's crap its just jacobs is clearly very fucking good and a lot better than everyone expected him to be, people who say he looked bad against brook are talking shit

now look at canelo, he's great sure looks flashy when KOing amir khans and liam smiths but really, for the most of his career all he has done is bully manlets and its been shown that floyd even had enough power to stop him in his tracks

this is a much bigger test canelo than it is for GGG

TKO in the 10th

>>77235519
i agree jacobs is fairly easily the 2nd best middleweight
he's young too. he'll dominate once GGG moves up/retires

>>77235519

jacobs came in at light heavy and was on his bike most of the fight, yet ggg still dropped him

>>77235474
Didn't a guy here bet 1500 on ggg? My heart is telling me he's gonna lose this

Would prime calzaghe beat ward?

OwO what's this?

>>77238368
GET OUUUT

There is a misconception among the newer generations of boxing fans that defense is a "smart" man's way of fighting. This may be true in the most superficial sense, but the reality is far more nuanced.

The object is beat your opponent, not survive them. Defense, as is the case with all other skills related to combat serves a function. That function is to allow one to gain advantage and ultimately defeat their opponent. Defense, for the sake of avoiding or limiting engagement is exactly the opposite of its intended function as it pertains to the game being played.

That is why a low output, highly defensive fighter very rarely attains the status of superstar. Defense, when properly applied should serve as the foundation from which aggression is applied. The greatest fighters in history were those who used defense, via counter-punching, timing, and spacial awareness to devastate their opposition.

Bottom line, defense exists as a means to allow even more precise aggression which in turn amplifies a fighters ability to achieve the ultimate goal. Used as a means to avoid, control, limit, or stifle engagement defense becomes nothing more than an exploit of the system in order to achieve what would otherwise be unachievable.

My proof?

Almost every guy Floyd Mayweather ever out-boxed would beat his ass in a real fight. THAT is why the common fan doesn't like, or appreciate, what some label "skill." They sense that purely defensive based fighters are using an exploit to avoid risk. It's like playing prevent defense in the first quarter of a football game and the common fan recognizes this. It makes no sense when the whole concept of boxing as entertainment is based on the promise of violence in exchange for money!

"I paid for violence and i got a ballet!" is the typical viewpoint, and rightly so.

>>77235519
Yea canelo sucks, remember that time he looked gassed out and beat trout when he was 22? Or that time he was gifted the decision after Lara left everything in the ring.

He sucks, very 1-dimensional, you always know where the punch is coming from and we don't even know if he can take a punch!

On the other hand golovkin is a truly great fighter. Anyone see that Makoto Fuchigami fight? I've never seen such a display of skill and talent in the square circle before in my life! Sure I can talk about the Rosado, Macklin, or Geale fights because those fighters are all legends but I'd rather talk about his bout with Kell Brook! Here's a man of true class, he takes a lower opponent and gives him the chance to fight the GOAT that is Golovkin. Hell he even lets Brook smack him around for a few rounds just to put on a show! Golovkin is class and pure skill, if you took away his punching power we'd be comparing him to Sweet Pea.

>inb4 what about the Jacobs fight
Golovkin had some cramps the day before and also was suffering from the common cold. He still won very clearly but people always want to root for the underdog of course. Don't worry he'll knockout Canelo in their fight so there's no controversy(;

>>77238288
I'm sure that if his kid threw a rubber ball at him, he'd look like he did the night he fought Golovkin.

>>77238766

Where did he say that? Conor having power doesn't surprise me, he's been doing boxing since 16 and he's physically bigger, you can see his single left power is good compared to the average schmuck in the UFC. But Paulie is feather fisted and got stopped by Sam Eggington. Mayweather has a chin to take a punch and he can time him all night.

I would give Conor a chance of going 12 because he gassed before when he went up above his natural weight and now he's at his natural weight and doing altitude training.

still wouldn't get fat though

>>77243766

No one does that though. When you're on top you feel invincible like you could keep your title into your late 40s.

>>77243811

Hatton, Maidana, McGuigan, Lewis, Michael Spinks and Nas all did exactly that.

Although, I agree for the most part guys either stay around too long, or blow all their money and are forced to return.

>>77243916

Yeah but most of them came off bad losses and decided to hang them up. Then you got legends like Hearns and Jones who are just trying to die off brain damage.

>>77243960

>came off of bad losses and decide to hang them up

aka, exactly what you should do.

if you get stopped at the end of your career in a bad way thats a sign you should hang em up. Most guys either don't want to believe that, or havent been financially responsible to do that, so they continue.

Jones should have after Tarver or Johnson. Pac should have after Marquez (although he ended up with the mayweather payday), etc etc.

>>77244003

That's why I respect Naz in spite off how his career ended. By all accounts he was smart with his money and now he's just enjoying life while watching all the young English lions come up.

>>77243766
I was going to make a comment about "how much could he have actually made" then I looked it up.

Jesus how the fuck was he getting paid 5million a fight. Why do brits hype up their fucking fighters so much! Is it just because they don't have any good fighters so they have to super hype up the mediocre ones like hamed, khan, frampton, hatton, and such?

I can see an entire country backing a couple boxers I guess if it's all you have

>>77244075

Cus they have 2 countries backing them.

Hatton had all of britain, then entered into the american market.
Same with Hamed, he was a huge star who was successful in both the US and UK.
Getting both that HBO and Sky tv money. Plus hamed probably also had network interest from the middle east.

>>77244109

easy work Joe. He wasn't appreciated during his career never mind afterwards. He is legitimately one of only two British elite level fighters, probably the only one because the other was Canadian

>>77248244
Why does Paulie look like he just had the shit beat out of him? I thought any pro boxer would destroy McGregor without getting touched? And any bum with 2 or 3 fights would run rings around him?

Ricky Hatton ended Kostya Tszyu's career:
https://youtu.be/gxw0Rqo5XXs

>>77250162
Hatton's standout performance

>>77248114
Tzuyu fought a fight a year after 2001 then lost to hatton. What was p4p best for? Beating Chavez in 2000 or knocking out someone as irrelevant as zab.

Sure hatton beat kostya but then he got exposed for as a weakling as soon as he fought real opposition. That's why he almost committed suicide like a little punk ass bitch after the mayweather fight.

>>77244109
Hatton really was irrelevant to the American market before his fight with Floyd faggweather. Hamed was just a real madman spectacle I guess.

I still believe that brits are really blind and hype their fighters up a shit ton, possibly more so than any other country.

Also just thought of this but why do British fighters kick off their careers by beating up old Mexicans ?

>>77249918
Paulie looked in bad shape, he looked overweight and he's well past it, Conor's in the best shape of his life in his prime. It's not going to be as easy as boxing fans are making out.

>>77249918
I dont think he got beat up. Probably got caught by some good shots considering he is out of shape and retired, and McGregor camp is good at selling as if he beats people up. Remember whe they edited the video with Van Heerden and seemed like Conor was beating him up?

>>77242704
>certain parts of England
It's used throughout Britain and Ireland you retard.

>>77250846
I bet Conor tried to knock him out in the first round to shut him up, landed the left and gave him a bruised eye which you can see in the ESPN interview but didn't put him down which is why they did 8 rounds. It's like Ted Cheeseman vs Mayweather.

VADA is mandatory in the ORGs now. This wrestling tiered promotion is the only way Mayweather can get juiced for a big fight. USADA is doing the testing, Mayweather owns USADA.

Boxing is dying again.

>>77251053
Boxing is doing 5 million on PPV and a 40 year old is going to cruise against the biggest star in UFC history, I think we're good.

>>77251980
Andre Ward

Apparently all of the big networks in the UK and USA are rejecting the WBSS because it's too expensive and too big of a scheduling commitment

Anyone have any info on the Aloyan show today? I thought it was supposed to be a big one, taking place in the Red Square and all, but there has been so little coverage that I'm starting to doubt it's even happening

There should just be one world title

>>77252966
but then how would boxing commissions get the big moneys

>>77252966
Clearly, but it's difficult to see how that could be accomplished now with so many competing interests in the sport. Step one could be for boxing writers to stop acknowledging the extraneous titles, or at least inform their readership of the context when describing some random IBO title holder as a "world champion", but most of the prominent ones seem way too cosy with the various promoters for them to do something like that. For example it's a joke that the WBO is seen as "major title" when they almost exclusively work with Top Rank and Queensberry. It's basically a parallel league with no relation to the main body of boxing at this point

>>77248244
Fake news

>>77252207
but ward has an unattractive fighting style and is arrogant while GGG has the GOAT fighting style and is humble

>>77252362
Damn. I hope it doesn't turn to shit so quickly.

>>77249918
Conor is going to fucking KO Floyd in under 4 rounds. These arrogant and elitist /box/ faggots are going to be the laughing stock of /sp/ in a couple of weeks. I'm predicting a lot of these useless cunts will stop watching boxing altogether after what Conor does on August 26.

>>77251053
>USADA
I hate how black people and black fighters defend that shit. Wilder takes VADA and half his opponents have tested for PEDS.

>>77250371
>>77251742
Me and you brother.

/box/ faggots are the most arrogant and petty of them all all. None of them EVER give Conor his props or at least give him a chance. They're all bitter and broke bums. I can't wait till these fags get exposed haha.

>>77254211
Shouldn't affect the actual competition this time, but it could mean it's a one-off and not an annual thing like they hoped it would be

I think it was a mistake to do two weight classes simultaneously and give each quarter-final bout its own show. They could just put all four quarter-final bouts of one weight class together on one bumper show. Might lose a bit of ticket revenue but would be good for TV

>>77254259
Wilder has to because VADA is mandatory with the WBC. USADA test UFC so it's who normally tests McGregor.

>>77254349
Honestly an annual tournament seems like overkill to me, but I'd like to see it open the door to something similar in a deeper division. I like the idea of cramming all the quarters together

>>77254520
>Honestly an annual tournament seems like overkill to me

I think it would be amazing. Let's face it we cant trust the alphabet groups to promote the best facing the best on any sort of regular basis. Imagine a boxing world where every division had had a unanimous #1 instead of two, three or even four people who all have an argument for it but will rarely actually settle the argument in the ring

>>77251169
Damn, McGregor really let himself go.

>>77254599
Paulie really did a number on him

>>77254265
If Conor McGregor was a full time boxer he'd be on a UK undercard fighting Gary Corcoran. Instead he's fighting one of the most elite technicians of all time in his professional debut. He is fooked.

Only meaningful belts are the WBC and the ring

>>77254728
>we be crooks
>ring owned by delahoya

>>77254694
He's fighting a 40 year old with brittle hands who hasn't fought in 2 years. He cannot and will not handle Conor's left. Once Conor hits him - anywhere. He's going to feel the power and his confidence will fall back to earth.

Floyd is done. Like Conor said he should have never taken the fight.. but he got greedy. He will trade that greed for his legacy.

>>77254728
None of the alphabet titles are inherently meaningful any more, although I'd say that the WBO is inherently less meaningful than the other big three. The Ring has also lost its prestige. Really you now just have to come to your own conclusions about individual fighters based on who they beat. You can't trust any of the "official" rankings any more

>>77254120

>>77255091
#1 vs #2 traditionally, but The Ring recently started accepting #1 vs #3 I believe

>>77255091
I think when the number one ranked and number two ranked fighters go against each other whoever wins is the new lineal champion

>>77255110
not the ring. the title of lineal champ

USADA test Floyd and all his fighters. Showtime uses USADA because Floyd. Wilder uses because he knows it's effective.

>>77240852
8 is Jesse James Leija I think

>>77255264
He's really not that heavy for a guy his size, at the very least he's not bulking up. But realistically I think the vast majority of athletes in every sport are using

>>77255317
Showtime doesn't have anything to do with drug testing, they put on the production and collect a percentage of the profits.

>>77255317
I'm not arguing that Floyd doesn't have USADA in his pocket. He might bend the rules for the McGregor fight. Just saying Wilder doesn't have much choice. His main rival Anthony Joshua was VADA tested for Klitschko and is year round tested by UKAD. It's the older fighters like Ortiz and Povetkin that are going to want to cheat.

You are fully deluded if you think AJ isn't on the juice

The worst thing is that UKAD is probably in on it because he's so big at this point that it's probably seen as a matter of national prestige. And the even worse thing is that I don't care either because I'd rather see super heavyweight juicers knocking lumps out of each other than a bunch of fat slobs hugging and sweating all over each other for world championships

>>77256152
He asked for VADA testing because it was going to hurt the 41 year old more than him. If he fights Wilder it would be VADA tested because of the WBC. So if he can manage to pass the most stringent test it doesn't really matter what he might have done.

>>77256152

He would not maintain 250 lbs of pure muscle while also training full time as a boxer (primarily cardio and technique) without HGH

Lance Armstrong beat more stringent testing than anything that goes on in boxing

>>77256259
Isn't VADA literally run by the BALCO guy? USADA is the national org that also tests Olympians and stuff

>>77256300
i think the way they operate is different depending on the sport.
the ufc usada is different from the TMT usada.
the only way usada can be corrupt with ufc is if they delay the announcement of a fight and fire ariel helwani for leaking it.

>>77256284
Lance Armstrong was boosting red blood cell count for endurance and cycling was USADA, it couldn't be detected and they were after him for years

>>77256410
HGH is apparently hard to detect too

>>77256300
>>77256425
USADA has done a lot of shady shit. VADA has caught slot of boxers already. If I was a fighter I would use VADA just so I know I was fighting in an even playing field except the judges.

>>77256487
Is it still an even playing field when one of the combatants is using Conte as an S&C coach simultaneously while VADA drug tests them? *cough Andre Ward*

Conor is going to smash floyd's little head. Going to be great to see /box/ crying all night.

>>77256732
As I said, his S&C coach is the mastermind behind VADA, Victor Conte (Margaret Goodman is a figurehead), so of course he's never going to fail a VADA test

>>77256766
Ok Alex Jones.

>>77256766
Pretty much this. I love dani jacobs as fighter but he was roiding in the ggg fight

>>77257224
Yes but you can't denied the weight advantage. I don't really like when fighters do those weight bullshit. Canelo and floyd are good fighters but the first one love to put cans in to orbit and may is a bitch about gloves and shit. It really fucked up my vision about boxers

>>77257126
There was a Russian show but no English language media is covering it so fuck knows what happened

There's a good fight in Japan tomorrow. I think they're usually on about midday British time, so 14 or so hours from now

Official /box/ mascots Tyson Fury and Eubank Sr are picking Conor to win

>In Moscow, the evening ended with boxing, the main event of which was a duel for the WBC Silver title in the second flyweight title between Misha Aloyan (2-0, 0 KOs) and Marvin Solano (19-2, 7 KOs). The fight went through all 12 rounds, and Aloyan won 119-119, 118-110, 117-111. So he won the WBC Silver belt in the second fight in the professional ring.
>On the undercard of Aloyan's duel there were several interesting meetings. So Stanislav Kashtanov overcame the unanimous decision of the judges Sergei Khomitsky. And Fedor Chudinov, who conducted the first fight after the defeat of George Gruvza, in two rounds coped with Argentinean Honatan Borbadillo.
https://www.championat.com/boxing/news-2858544-alojan-pobedil-solano-i-zavoeval-titul-wbc-silver.html

>>77257573
Very impressive start to his pro career for Aloyan. He should enter the WBC top 15 now and will probably get a title shot within 12-18 months

Incidentally, Google translate has really improved since I last used it

So BT Sport has Saunders vs Monroe Jr, Smith vs Williams II, Nurse vs Catterall, Warrington vs Selby and Flanagan vs Verdejo lined up for the next boxing season, while Sky Sports has Murray vs Chavez Jr, Fielding vs Brophy, Stalker vs Dodd and Barrett vs Ritson. Eddie needs to pull his finger out because apart from his three PPV headliners he's had a dire year

>>77257703
He'll have the Callum Smith fight and Jorge Linares vs Luke Campbell as well. Fight Nights have been very poor but Sky will buy Mayweather vs McGregor and have Joshua vs Klitschko 2 on PPV so won't really care

>>77257883
>Sky will buy Mayweather vs McGregor
>tfw there's rumours this PPV will cost in excess of £60
>tfw it ends up being true and kickstarts a wave of regular Matchroom PPVs costing £60 which nobody buys because that is a ridiculous price to pay for a boxing card
>tfw this inadvertently kills off the PPV model

Is Mayweather playing 4D chess with us?

Or will people instead choose to #stayhumble and pay the £60 per fight for Anthony Joshua knocking out the bloated carcass of the heavyweight division for the next 10 years?

>>77257883
>Sky will buy Mayweather vs McGregor
they picked it over the GGG/Canelo fight

>>77257883
>He'll have the Callum Smith fight

That's not certain yet. I think Sky are still favourites to get the WBSS since it features three of their fighters and it'd be a good filler for their new Arena channel, but Hearn has hinted that they may not

>Jorge Linares vs Luke Campbell as well

Forgot about that. It's always nice to see Linares but it's a bit of a mismatch in theory

>Fight Nights have been very poor but Sky will buy Mayweather vs McGregor and have Joshua vs Klitschko 2 on PPV so won't really care

They're in danger of becoming a one man outfit, like Golden Boy with Canelo. It's a bad time to become complacent with Warren rapidly growing in power again and McGuigan, Poxton and Haye claiming their own little slices of the boxing landscape on terrestrial TV

>>77257983
It will make way more money to be desu

>>77251980
What's a good triple G fight in your opinion? Can't really think of one, the more recent ones have been pretty bad.

>>77257980
They won't charge £60 that won't wash in the UK. The max they can push it to is £24.95

>>77257980
We get it cheap compared to what the US market pays, but when there's joke fights like Bellew/Haye demanding PPV and ITV setting up a new venture to accommodate Junior it wouldn't surprise me for them to start increasing the price. They would get less buys though, so I don't think anything will be £60 just yet. Noticed how the picked the 26th though which is the bank holiday in the UK?

gloves don't make THAT much of a difference.

Honestly, 10 oz gloves are 10 oz gloves, if you can fight it doesn't matter where the padding is. Its more a mental thing, or incremental hand protection.

>>77257703

Murray vs Chavez jr? Where did you here that. Thats actually a decent fight for Murray. He needs a pay day.

>>77257996

He is in kind of a transitional period tbf. Eddie has all the olympians and they won't be in big fights for a year or two. On the other hand all his main event fighters are looking for their last pay days to close out their career i.e. Crolla, Burns, Bellew, Murray etc.

>>77259546

>>77259529
Then why he's so bitchy about that? You are right tho. I don't underrate floyd but I just don't like him that much for things lIke that.

>>77259978

what are peoples thoughts on Ortiz v Wilder. Ortiz ever been hurt in a fight? Seems pretty immovable.

>>77265351
Jennings caught him with some decent shots, nothing huge, but he took them well. Wilder is going to be taller but really Ortiz does everything better.

>>77265351
I'm going with Ortiz. Cuban's are some tough bastards, plus Wilder is a bum.

>>77262584
HAHAHA VERY NICE I LIKEE, HOW MUCH

>>77262466
So his only competitive fight is one where the decision is debateable.

Not sure why you're interested in canelo but he hasn't really fought at middleweight besides cotto. But in the light middleweight division he fought erslandy Lara, Austin trout, and Liam smith. All at the time were close to the top of their division.

One fight I really wish would happen was Lara vs Ggg. I think GGG's ability to cut off the ring paired with Lara's boxing talent and stuff punches would be a super competitive fight.

>>77264382
