I don't understand how Warrington can do so little damage considering that he seems to actually put weight behind his punches

If he had power he'd be a massive star because he's probably the most personable British fighter since Ricky Hatton

>>75494579
why are you so obsessed with cuckolding and bulls. We all get it, Joshua probably slayed a lot of white pussy and makes jokes about this with many of his friends and so on, don't try to imply however cuck shit about this. KEKFEAR

Just had another look on BoxRec and they're actually both decent imo, hard to separate. I give the Hearn one the edge because I'm a big fan of the Yafais but the Leather and Dickens fights seem evenly matched

>>75494844
Yafai fights are pillowfisted borefests, don't know why you'd be a fan of either. That entire Matchroom card looks fucking shocking Tbh, mismatches apart from the Gamal fight which is guaranteed to be shit and that Area fight between 2 people I've not heard of.

The BT show is a bit better on the whole with a pretty bad main event. Will probably watch that when it comes time.

>Yafai fights are pillowfisted borefests, don't know why you'd be a fan of either.

They are among the few British fighters with world class ability. They could hit harder but I find the style aesthetically pleasing. Like Brook but less stiff, more mobile and with greater punch variation. Kal would box circles around Srisaket

I think Lewis would have beaten him.

Bowe's defense was terrible.

>>75494775

I see it going the distance. If Chavez rehydrates a lot he could be quite a bit bigger and he'll be motivated

Chavez Jr will stop Canelo to become Super Caneloweight champion and then go on to knock out Golovkin in front of a sold out Estadio Azteca on Mexican Independence Day

>>75495365
lol are you high? 2nd or 3rd round TKO, no problem for canelo

>>75495422
You're not giving Chavez enough credit. He is training like an animal and has a renewed spirit. Even if he doesn't win, it won't be easy for Canelo

>>75495657
chavez is a little bitch and will quit on the stool in the 7th

>>75495675
>>75495422
>>75495365


The more I think about this fight the more I believe Chavez Jr will win.

Its going to be the first time Canelo hasn't had a huge size advantage.

Also lets stop acting like Canelo is some super boxer. Liam Smith had success against him. Chavez will be bigger, stronger, more reach, and if he is in shape will be dangerous.

>>75495675

Canelo isn't a super middleweight, if he wants to throw body shots Chavez can have a phone booth fight and hold his own

>>75495330
Wasn't great but he moved pretty good for a such a big guy in the first Holyfield fight. Which is also the only full fight of him I saw, gonna watch the 2nd right now.

>>75495253
The Golota fights with Benny Hill music under it is 10/10 comedy.

>>75495713
Chavez won't be able to land a clean punch

I think this looks exactly like Canelo vs Smith except it goes the distance

>>75495705
that's like saying that "let's stop acting like ggg is some super boxer, brook had success against him", I think canelos skill will be enough for a win

>>75495705
>The more I think about this fight the more I believe Chavez Jr will win.
What has Chavez Jr ever done in his career to make you think he will win?
>Its going to be the first time Canelo hasn't had a huge size advantage.
That's why they are draining Chavez with the catchweight

>>75496001

Beat Andy Lee who is actually a legitimate middle weight.

Canelo is jumping 10 lbs. If Chavez makes the weight well, which recent evidence suggests he will, its going to a long night for canelo, especially cus he probably won't be able to hurt Jr.

>>75495940

I think Canelo wins by UD but it won't shock me if Chavez starts bright and 5 rounds in he's winning 3 rounds to 2. Chavez is a lot bigger than Liam Smith

Anyone watched A Fighting Tradition yet? Found it meh.

he has no chance

No. Canelo is just cutting less weight

>>75497183
Why would you watch a show about a faggot?

>>75499600
I understand what you're saying but that makes no sense, he could just put on more muscle and cut the same amount of fat/water weight.

>>75498144
Either Wlad is only there for the $$$ and dives or he's there to win. If Wlad takes it seriously he'll have too much experience to walk onto AJ's punches, so will probably stop him or take it the distance and cruise it on points.

My prediction is a Wlad TKO in the 9th.

>>75494648
>cukfear right on top of his crotch

what did he mean by that?

>>75499025
He could honestly bamboozle all but the absolute best. There's probably only a handful of heavyweights who could actually outbox him

Who'll win Klitschko is a very big guy, has Joshua ever fought anybody of this calibre before?

>>75499819
Seeing as wlad is the most dominant heavyweight of the past decade, no he hasn't, doesn't mean he can't win

>>75499600

Just like Kell Brook was cutting less weight when he fought GGG.

Regardless of how much Canelo weighs, it takes time to acclimate to higher weights.

Chavez Jr has so much more experience getting hit and pacing himself with guys at the higher weights.

Canelo boxes people who are 147-154, and you can't acclimate to a weight just that big in just 1 camp.

>>75499025

Suprising amount of people betting on Klit considering the amount of casual exposure.

>>75507083
Im a casual desu but I think the whole thing is fixed for Klitschko to hold title and Joshua win it in rematch. Double profits for Hearn.

Wlad the Lad is there to take the fall and Joshua will continue on being hyped for eternity

>>75507106
This is exactly why I would want Wlad to win.

>>75507102
If this is less actionpacked then the whole Fury debacle it would hurt Hearn more. Wouldn't be surprised if Wlad retired after this fight regardless the outcome.

>>75506610
He did okay, but this is Martin Murray we're talking about

>>75507280
Rosado is thought to be a C level fighter. He sucks. Murray went toe to toe with two world level fighters which makes him B+ at worst.

>>75507319
you think Murray will get a chance at high level soon enough then?

>>75507331
I think Murray has had every chance he's going to get unless one of the lesser belt holder fight him to avoid a dangerous opponent. All the up and coming 160 talents beat Murray. That includes Monroe and Khurtsidze.

>>75507106

If you beat what's in front of you then you're not a hypejob. A hypejob was David Price.

>>75507364
yes but there is no doubt Hearn and Joshua have been very picky in opponents

Hopefully Hearn snaps from the Fury taunts and arranges a Joshua-Fury match

>>75506723

Post slip

>>75507377

They haven't, he's moved up at a good pace. Hughie Fury could of fought him in December but he thought he was worth 1 million. I would give Tyson Fury a good chance of winning a decision against Joshua but it's not like they're avoiding him, he weighs 350 lbs. If he comes back he will be doing at least 1 fight against low level competition because the risk of getting chinned is too great so it's miles off.

Reminder that disliking AJ is one of the most reddit opinions in boxing. Since Fury can't stop cheating, getting fat and generally being a useless cunt AJ is the only reason the heavyweight division is at all interesting and everything goes to shit again if he loses.

>>75507401

AJ is a thug nigger being marketed as a gentleman le Bruno 2.0 by Hearn so mugs pile in on his cashcow. Fury is twice the fighter and twice as entertaining. Fuck AJ and all his PR bullshit.

>>75507401
>not being from manchester and hating a southern fairy

>>75507434

Lol he's just KO'd handpicked bums.

>>75507438

fuck off Eddie

>>75507444
The only handpicked opponent on AJs resume is that Dumbass Martin who stumbled upon a title by pure luck. Sure, Cornish and Whyte were chosen because they're British and it's easier to sell their fights but both were progressions that every fighter takes when working their way up the ladder. Calling them handpicked is fucking retarded.

Why the hell is this even an argument anymore when he's fighting Klitschko in 4 fucking days.

>>75507438
This. The main legitimate complaint against AJ is that he was milking PPV money by fighting bums. He's taken on what is most likely the hardest fight in the division with Fury out and cunts still complain. Fair enough complain about the shit undercard with how much money this will make but you can't complain about AJ at all.

>>75507453
So Molina was a worthy adversary?

>>75507460

Klit is just coming over to job for one final pay day. Probably won't even land any real shots on AJ. Whole thing is WWE tier.

>>75507474
Even if you believe that, and I don't. It's still the hardest fight he could have taken by a mile.

>>75507464
In the same way that Bert cooper was for Holyfield, or Jose Roman for Foreman, or Phil Jackson for Lewis.

You can't fight a top 10 rated fighter every single fight unless you enjoy fighting once a year at most. He's fighting Klitschkjo now, So shut the fuck up and complain about Wilder. he's the only HW handpicking opponents here.

He's about 45 at this point, maybe once but he's missed his chance.

>>75507554
Ortiz has shown that he is not very effective against fighter who move off the backfoot. Unfortunately for him Klitschko, Joshua, Parker, Fury, and Wilder can all fight off the backfoot. Which leaves Povektin who might be able to out hustle him over 12 since it's less likely Povektin would gas out first.

>>75507554

He's immobile, failed to get Malik Scott out of there which Chisora could manage. Fury, Joshua, Klitschko would all beat him.

>>75507564
He didn't struggle against Allen at all, he just didn't push the tempo at all or push for a stoppage. Kin of a Cuban thing, Gamboa took some heat for the same reason after his last fight.

>>75507572
Haven't seen that match since it happened but I don't remember Scott showing up to fight at all. Fury could possibly outhustle him if he wasn't tipping the scales. Ortiz is a solid ring cutter though, and Klitschko and Joshua aren't going to be able to set that kind of a pace on the backfoot.

They'd never get anybody decent on the cover after the Fight Night curse.

The big thing you're all missing is that it's actually in Hearn's interests for AJ to lose this fight. If he wins there is Z E R O chance AJ doesn't just fuck off from Matchroom and make AJ Promotions in a year when his deal is over. If he loses he'll probably still need the exposure that Matchroom gives him so Hearn probably isn't even that bothered if it happens.

>>75509185

>>75509173
Between that and Vargas vs Berchelt for me

>>75509206
Wasn't that a bit one sided? Impressive performance from Berchelt but Vargas was in a right state. The Roman vs Miura fight was more dramatic

>>75509199
Along with Dubois he seems to be Frank's main golden boy and the face of this BT Sport deal

>>75509231
The first 6 rounds were Salido Vargas tier, then it started to get a bit one sided and ended that way. Good shit while it was still even though.

>>75509244
Billy Joe is the biggest face for now. BoxNation have been posting non stop about Tyson Fury for the last 3 days or so too so he could be a big deal for them even if he isn't with Frank.

>>75508285

>klitschko
>white

Berchelt vs Miura is going to be epic, and Golden Boy has recently signed Gamboa and Corrales so I'm guessing we'll see Berchelt versus those two as well

Leaves Lomachenko out in the cold though. I think Salido is the only feasible fight remaining to him at 130 now unless Valdez moves up

>>75509269
I think Bill and Tezza are just placeholders while Frank gets his stable up and running. They may be talented but they don't exactly capture the imagination of the general public

>>75509185
LHW is stacked, doubt he becomes a champ like AJ

>>75509331
Stevenson, Ward, Kovalev and even Beterbiev (32 years old, would you believe it) will be long gone by the time he reaches world level, if he gets that far, so it'll be a completely different division

I hope that he and Buatsi are both the real deal and we can have a Eubank vs Benn type rivalry in the future

>>75509707
I don't think anyone here is hating on Fury, some just understand why the casuals have a poor opinion of him.

IMO both Fury and AJ seem like nice enough guys, just one is much more outspoken and charismatic whilst the other one is media trained.

Canelo is going to mop the fucking floor with Chavez. He's going to attack the body and Chavez will crumble. /box/ just hates canelo and it blinds them.

>>75510631
Yeah, he had some resulting stamina issues as well. There obviously can be benefits to using PEDs, but you can also hurt your ability to perform even if you don't damage your body. Personally I think there are a lot of pretty obvious examples of guys fucking up their careers up by juicing improperly and I don't buy into the idea that steroids automatically make you a better athlete.

If the things I've heard are true a lot of fighters, especially heavies, use them for appearance rather than performance reasons because huge muscly guys are marketable. The UFC and WWE have spent years finding creative ways to supply their guys with a steady diet of testosterone and HGH for the same reason.

>>75510974
>If the things I've heard are true a lot of fighters, especially heavies, use them for appearance rather than performance reasons because huge muscly guys are marketable.

I think this must be the case for Joshua. His muscle seems way past the point of being useful in a fight

>>75510974
They don't automatically make you a better fighter sure, but look at it this way, would you rather fight a 160 pound Golovkin or a 180 pound golovkin if those 20 pounds were pure muscle?
Hypothethical but you get the idea, and it's not like there are only anabolics, tons of PEDs for endurance and recovery, tennis players don't look like roid monkeys but they sure abuse PEDs.

>>75510812

That's the thing, without PEDs ~225 lbs is the maximum effective weight. Joshua, Klitschko and these other 250 lbs guys are only possible because of drugs. If drug testing that is truly difficult to beat ever appears in boxing, watch the best heavyweights become Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier/young George Foreman size again

Tyson is the best thing to happen to boxing in the last decade

Has anyone recently had a knockout as dramatic as Juan Manuel Marquez did?

>>75511125
Again I'll point to Holyfield - he juiced and ended up with stamina issues, a heart condition, a meltdown knockout loss to Bowe, and no real benefits as far as I can tell. Or Shannon Briggs, who was gigantic but always ended up gasping for air as those huge, showy muscles ate into his cardio. I agree with what you're saying, but that's assuming we're talking about guys that can afford to go through a BALCO type lab and know what the fuck they're doing. I really feel it's hit or miss depending on the fighter.

>>75512159
The unsuccessful ones are on drugs too. The point is that once you max out your natural ability, you can then take drugs and break through to a whole new level. If Fighter A and Fighter B are equally talented but Fighter A uses PEDs while Fighter B is clean, Fighter A will always beat Fighter B. So for this reason, it's always safe to assume that the best fighters are on PEDs. Because the clean ones, if there are any, are eliminated by the juicing ones. And this goes for all sports

>>75511921
>tren
tren is pretty much a bodybuilding drug, I've done a bit of strongman and even strength athletes tend to avoid it because it fucks your cardio. It wasn't really around in the 70s either, back then it was pretty much just test and a variety of orals.

>>75512341
What is this supposed to prove lmao? steroids OBJECTIVELY improve athletic performance in literally any actual sport you can think of

it isn't a matter of opinion or what people pretend in public, it's undeniable objective fact that if you take steroids that increase your cardio, strength, power, recovery and in some cases even bone density then you'll be a better fighter

what's so hard to understand?

>Joshua v Klitschko fight
>odds of no knockdowns and fight to go the distance - 4/1
is this not free money?

>>75512356
Maybe he would have been, but the more you weigh the harder you hit and the harder the hits you can take

Holyfield wasn't a natural heavyweight and that's what the drugs were for. Almost all weight climbers use steroids. Jones, Mosley, Pacquiao, etc.

>>75512341
he's right, steroids don't help your fighting ability. But fighting ability is only half the game. Strength, explosive power and athleticism are the other half and are definitely improved with drugs

>>75512408
you might be right about the first bit but pretty sure you're wrong about the second bit

a lot of former mr olympias form the 70s have admitted to using it and for quite a long time it was actually legal

>>75512314
if your story is true - why is only one out of 70 guy getting caught (is that even a correct sentence, terrible english skills)? why wasn't tyson caught until the golota fight?
it makes no sense and I don't get why you guys ignore stuff like that

>>75512456
It's a decent bet. I figure if either of them goes down they will likely stay down, so the two conditions are redundant, and Klitschko is famously cautious so won't be looking for the KO or putting himself in danger of being KOed

>>75512533
Because they all have entire medical teams thinking of new ways and new drugs to use to not fail the tests

try reading up on all the shit that lance armstrong and his team admitted to doing

>>75512497
Tren was initially used in the cattle industry in the early 80s.
I've never heard of people admitting to using tren in the 70s, the earliest tren use in bodybuilding was in the mid-80s AFAIK. The most common steroids until the 80s were test and d-bol
