He stopped Julian Jackson in two rounds. It was wild while it lasted, a bit Hagler-Hearns.

switch Lennox and Tyson, plebs won't just up about Tyson while Lewis was a sadistic motherfucker who still doesn't get the credit he deserves

More like a boring motherfucker that retired like a bitch instead of giving Vitali the rematch he deserved.

Tyson did three years in prison for rape and said some of the most outrageous shit ever said in sports. Also he bit Lennox on the leg.
>>
Anyone notice that Kovalev won a pretty lucky split decision against a Darnell Boone before getting a decisive stoppage win in their rematch?

I wonder if the Ward-Kovalev decision was luck withdrawing a debt. Now Ward will probably win in more decisive fashion.

on the flip side have you noticed when he's done to Pascal in the rematch? Utter domination all the way with even a couple of 10 8 rounds without KD

3rd fight is one of the biggest JUST endings, if they waited till the end of the rest the Ali camp would have forfeited.

Frazier was strong but his bobbing defense had a lot of holes, maybe he could've fared better with cross arms.

Anyone gain respect for Wlad after the Joshua fight? I felt like we saw the animal in Wlad that we haven't seen since his early days. He needed that lost to Fury to regain his hunger. If that Wlad showed up in more fights he wouldn't have been accused of being a boring fighter for so long.

watched the holyfield bowe III fight, suprisingly entertaining.

He fought the way he had to in order to win. And I thought he let Joshua off the hook a couple times, he was hurt and badly gassed and Klitschko didn't push the issue. Looked like the same old Wlad to me.
>>
>>76546719

He tried to land his trademark leaping left hook a few times after the knockdown but AJ just about slipped them. I think then he felt he missed his chance and didn't want to gas himself out.

Here in the boxing world USADA are know for bring corrupt and a shady drug testing organization.
VADA is the legit drug testing organization. Why do think floyd has never tested with VADA and instead uses USADA. Also in BOXREC its a pretty big deal if a boxer uses VADA.

Because Holyfield ducked the fight until Tyson went to prison for 3 years.

I've always considered Holyfield the ultimate coward for this. Always will.
>>
>>76556589
He thoroughly outclassed Tyson in both their fights, if they only fought once I'd agree but the 2nd time Tyson clearly gave it his all and had to take the cowards way out when he realized Holyfield was schooling him
>>
i don't even want Mayweather-McGregor to happen desu.

Its a meme fight, I would rather have boxing grow by consistently putting on good fights, and grow the following organically.

This is now going to overshadow Ward-Kovalev, and GGG-Canelo in the media.

Be honest: If it's all on the same day at the same time, would you choose to watch Mayweather/Mcgregor instead of Ward/Kovalev 2 or GGG/Canelo?

>>
>>76557191
I think the way boxing operates these days doesn't allow any real organic growth, promotions take years sometimes to even come into fruition.

Its a wonderful sport administrated by an old, archaic old boys club/promoters who are completely out of touch with modern sporting with flashes of promise but not nearly enough to turn the tide and bring boxing back to its glory

>>
>>76557448

It was actually going to happen but Tyson got injured.

BUT Holyfield was of course force to eventually fight him. He had put it off for a long time.

When the #1 contender has to fight the #2 contender it's because the champ is ducking the #1 contender. That's what happened.

Fuck him.

>>76557186

He was in prison for 3 years. There is pre-prison Mike and post-prison Mike. Post-prison Mike was not the same fucking fighter. Evander evaded pre-prison Mike like a girl afraid to be raped in a hotel room by a mindless beast.

>He had put it off for a long time.
So you're saying that Holyfield should have fought Tyson before Tyson fought Buster. Like, as soon as Holyfield moved from cruiserweight to Heavyweight he should have fought once or twice and then Tyson inside one year of moving up?

I don't see where the "ducking" comes into it. Holyfield was a cruiserweight, decided to move into Heavyweight to go for the belt, but wanted to fight some heavyweight fights first to get accustomed to the new weight class, the fight for the belt 2 years later.

If he wanted to duck Tyson he would have just stayed at cruiserweight.

Do you think the announcement of Mayweather vs. McGregor will take away from the PPV buys of Kovalev vs. Ward 2?

Ward's purse for the 1st fight was $5M, and his purse for this upcoming fight is $7M. At 160,000 PPVs, the first fight operated at a loss. They most definitely have to do WAY more than that amount in the upcoming fight.

Seems like Roc Nation/Jay-Z just loves pouring money down the drain.

I'm with Floyd too but Mcgregor is obviously gonna be better then that vid which iirc is couple years old now.

God damnit I'm actually not happy about this fight. Unless the undercard is fucking phenomenal (which it won't be because they don't need it to be to sell) its a lose lose situation for boxing.

Hopefully Mayweather promotions stacks the undercard with prospects to get exposure, or some other promoters get their guys on the card for the exposure. Although, casuals won't even watch the undercard.

GGG/Canelo was well set before and I guess he was reassured buy the MGM to have enough timespan between the two fights.

>“Just like I thought it went the first time,” Ward said while discussing his rematch with Kovalev during a recent conference call.

>“When you have three different judges, who aren’t communicating throughout the course of a fight, who do this professionally – you look, and yeah, they had some rounds here and there that may have been different, but they have the same conclusion – whether it’s my fight or any other fight, I think you’ve gotta tip your hat to them.”

Who cares about the outcome of this fight? It's just a cheap ploy to get your money.
Grandpa cucks/kids who got beat up by wrestlers in high school are angrily watching it because an "uncivilized brawler" like McGregor is making a mockery of their sport.
Inbred dregs of the Midwest/people who have never done anything physical in their life who pollute the MMA fan base are watching it in the hopes of seeing something exciting (Newsflash: this won't happen).
This fight is the dumbest thing ever. McGregor won't come back to defend his belt when he gets paid. Mayweather will go down with his record padded by defeating an MMA fighter in a boxing match. Fans everywhere will just continue to argue ceaselessly.

That cheque is actually real.

Ward didn't show up to the HBO face-off a month ago because he didn't want to advertise the fight. The less people buying the PPVs, the less people attending the fight, the less people know about this fight, the less money Kovalev earns.

Jay-Z is giving free money to Ward.

By my calculations, if it does 150k PPV sales again he'll get just over $1m + his split of the ticket sales + maybe a portion of the foreign TV money. Maybe about $1.5m total, before expenses (trainers, sparring partners, etc.)

>>76577609
I think Ward will try to make it a war and let his hands go and Kovalev..you already know. I see this fight ending early, around 5th round and I can see the referee stopping the fight after Ward gets knocked down badly.

I think Ward fell into Kovalev's trap and let Kovalev's insults get to him.

If he didn't, this is going to be ez work for Ward 8-4 or 10-2 something like that.
>>
>>76577653

If they spent $100 on Mayweather they won't have an appetite for more afterwards. It might put a small dent on the PPV sales but it should do around the same as Chavez
>>
>>76577609
He felt Kov power, he knows he can take it. I feel Ward will be more offensive.
>>
>>76577609
I doubt there are many people willing to plunk down 100+ bucks for a circus tent spectacle and then turn around and burn another 60 just two and a half weeks later. I think it'll hurt PPV numbers even for the UFC's shows around the same time.

But it will legitimately put boxing on the radar for MMA fans. Toney-Couture has finally come full circle, it's bound to hold the attention of at least a few people.

I think kovalev is adjusting this time. He can be fast enough to avoid ward clinche fest. Expect some bullshit judging
>>
I think the floyd vs mcgoo is fucking fixed
>>
>>76578377
Kovalev has two punches and Ward has already figured out how to neutralise one of them. He can outjab Ward if the fight takes place at long range, but why would Ward do that?
>>
>>76578299
>a wrestling match from start to finish
I guess that's kind of what I meant by adjustments, Ward took over the fight by committing to that type of approach around the halfway mark. I get where you're coming from.
>>
>>76578536
The thing is, how does Kovalev avoid getting into that kind of fight? He's never demonstrated quality inside work before in his career, and in the first fight we saw Ward take away his straight right moneyshot, so it's really just his jab left as a deterrent, which can only land half of the time at best and the rest of the time Ward will slip inside and score with bodywork and short hooks. It's not pretty but you only have to do more than your opponent
>>
Betting the house on Ward tbqh
>>
>>76578629
It really hinges on the reffing. Ward fought a very dirty fight with extended wrestling exchanges the first time and I see a lot of quick breaks and maybe a point deduction. But like I said I won't be surprised if Kovalev gets roughed up again.
>>
>>76578446
Dunno man give kovalev some props, he have more in the arsenal. The first fight was close, maybe you got ward maybe you got kovalev, but still pretty even. This rematch is interesting coz we are going to see if the fighters can overcome the first clash and get a real victory, not a subjective win. That's why I like to see fight. Personally, I believe kovalev knows how to win, but hey, I can see ward neutralize kovalev game again.
>>
Conor will get a jab in the face for 3 rounds, throw power punches, miss, gas and then kick Floyd to the face ko'ing him
He will lose the fight, but win the moral battle
>>
>>76578826
The first fight was close because Ward mistakenly believed he could outbox Kovalev on the outside. He and Virgil now know that isn't the case so he will be trying to get inside for the full three minutes of every round this time

JDJ did recently say that he had advised Kovalev to work the body more this time, which could be a good thing (although it also opens him up to counters), but I think he's too set in his head-hunting ways to fully commit to such a gameplan
>>
>>76578865
He'll leave the arena in handcuffs if he does that and have his purse suspended. Nice fantasy though
>>
mcgregor will heem that old manlet bum

So who are all the Western Euros rooting for: Ward or Kovalev?

>>76578865
Contractually prohibited. Apparently you weren't the only one that thought it might happen.

>>76578976
Kovalev but I don't dislike Ward. He seems like a good guy and never ducks anyone. Kovalev just gives me more entertainment though, both in and out of the ring
>>
>>76577609
Kov did better in both his rematches. Kovalev by UD.
>>76577734
>He felt Kov power, he knows he can take it.
How? By getting knocked down and walking backwards for ten rounds? Ward still has nightmares of Kovalev's right hand.
>>76578289
He's never come close to doing this, ever. He usually apologizes and touches gloves when things get out of hand. It was Ward that tried to tackle Kovalev like a pussy and wouldn't even touch gloves when they reset.
>>
>>76578976

Ward because it will cause the most butthurt
>>
>>76579079
this desu
>>
Ward is a downey-face-having cunt that fights like a bitch. If you like watching grown men playing paddycakes in there then you would root for him. Has he ever knocked anyone out?

There's no pretension with Kovalev. He just shows up to fight and gives us entertainment for dollars. I hope Kovalev ends Wards career. Better yet, his life.

Don't forget the real big fight this weekend lads, Paul Smith vs Tyron Zeuge for the WBA world title. Will Smigga finally fulfil his destiny and become world champion?

You think Ward actually has respect for Kovalev? He acts all nice and smiles to the camera, but you know he's a pretty shit person away from the camera. Don't forget he took a guy who built his career from ground up to court until his death.
>>
>>76579346
Ward does seem like a cocksucker underneath it all. In the first fight he was initiating all the rough stuff and then whined to the ref that Kov had him in a headlock. I lmao when the ref actually reprimanded Kov. Also his trainer is the creepiest mofo in boxing.

If Kovalev wins will Ward be the best win of his career?
>>
>>76580941
By a country mile. His resume isn't that strong. Even if he beats Ward decisively here he still needs to beat Stevenson to be a shoo-in for the IBHOF

Ward is current #1 p4p so yeah.

I still can't believe he's that one Rnb singers dad. I have would bet 1000 dollars that he's some kind of pedophile.

>>76580297
He was stupid enough to try and take down Nate Diaz, the dude who's tied with Royce Gracie for most submission wins in the UFC.
>>
>>76580012

Because after he retired he moved to fucking Shitaly I instead of staying in the states and doing press like Leonard.

How cucked is Froch?

>>76582137
Man, he got robbed against Leonard. He was very disappointed about the world of boxing because he never get the recognition he deserved. I think he was right
>>
>>76582575
No, I'm saying Kov needs more than one top quality win to even entertain the thought of entering the IBHOF. Fully unifying the four titles is a rare enough feat that it probably gets him in though
>>
Joe Pigford would brutally destroy Conor McGregor desu lads
>>
What time is the weigh in?
>>
>>76577609

I definitely hope Kov beats Ward on the scorecards and KHTFO.

Ward is a dirty fighter and just seems like a piece of a shit.

But I expect Ward to win. He really had Kov's number last time in my opinion.
>>

Live weigh ins for anyone interested.
>>
>>76581795

He's 40, it's not that impossible.

But I doubt it. Mayweather is too careful.

Haye likely knew he had his injury, but didn't want to pull out because of his history of doing exactly that. Haye thought he could just get Bellew out of there in a few rounds.

Mayweather isn't that reckless.

>>
>>76582370
right now is utter shit. very very little coverage on media/tv and interest from the public. after the 60/70's boxing were never popular afik despite we had some good world champions. benvenuti is probably the best boxer we ever had and the most popular.

italian federation is complete shit and corrupt, they offer more support for amateur boxing than pro, boxers are encouraged to stay amateur because they make more money.
fighters that could maybe stand out on international level ends up being underachived because of lack of opportunities, they cant develop properly.
I mean the best we have had in recent years are de carolis, bundu and fragomeni.
Right now they best prospects we have are fabio turchi (cruiser) and mohammed obbadi (flyweight). They're 23 so they still have time to improve, altough I think they should go for some time in the us to train if they wanna reach they full potential (better trainer, better sparring partners) because they also compete in 2 of the most difficult divisions.
>>
>>76583451
I was at York Hall earlier in the year and saw a big Italian super heavyweight get robbed against Frazer Clarke after scoring a heavy knockdown on him. I'm tabbing him as a dark horse for gold at the European Championships that just started today

Seems like the best Italian talents often don't go pro

You have ten seconds to name a more relevant boxing match-up in 2017 than Mayweather/McGregor.

PROTIP: You can't.
>>
>>76583581
Joe Pigford vs Aarron Morgan

>>76583581

Smith vs Zeuge.

I always forget how tiny is rigo. The manlet is ripped, he's gonna murder the Mexican

>>76583524
guido vianello? I dont rate him very highly tbqh but he's isnt terrible either. His punching technique is bad though, his style would not translate well in the pros (like many others italians) but he will not turn pro anyway.
>>
>>76583769
That's the one. I've only seen him once and it was live but I was pretty impressed, considering that Frazier Clarke is very highly rated himself (although imo he's just a poor man's Joe Joyce). Vianello has the physical tools, solid fundamentals with a bit of traditional Italian awkwardness

I also saw Mangiacapre get pretty much bullied that night by Pat McCormack. He seems to be over the hill now
