Welters to Wait Longer?

Did you really think Errol Spence-Terence Crawford was going to take place this spring? At this moment there is a better chance of a third meeting between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns than that mythical match-up. Mike Coppinger of ESPN has reported that Spence (the unified welterweight...

I've given up in Crawford Spence. At least Tank vs Ryan is a done deal.

Absolutely! They have some really good fights lined up so far for 2023... Ryan vs Tank, Plant vs Benavedez, Loma vs Haney, exc. It's too bad Oscar Valdez got hurt. He was supposed to fight Naverette in Glendale soon. That would had been a good one to see here in town. I believe Loma vs Haney is in NY with those other fights in Vegas. Im happy for some of those young guys to fight in Vegas at a place like MGM Grand as the headliner.

Oscar will be in good shape if Ryan beats Tank.
 
Liam Smith KO's Chris Eubank, my thoughts..

Where's the Beef(y)

It was substance over style at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night, as Liam Smith scored an eye-opening fourth round stoppage over Chris Eubank Jr. What had been a highly contentious pre-fight build-up, was turned into a loud statement from this blue-collar practitioner. And that statement...

Rocha Caught Up in Traffic

With Errol Spence and Terence Crawford unable to come to an agreement to face one another for the undisputed championship at welterweight, there are a group of fighters in that same division who are now caught up in that traffic jam. One of them is Alexis Rocha (21-1, 13 KOs), who faces late...

Chavez. After all, Floyd lost to Castillo the first time.

Yeah, I tend to agree. But I keep thinking about all the people that hold Floyd out as the GOAT and the fighters, just in my lifetime, that I think would beat him from 130-147. Really more of a thought exercise.

Chavez would eventually break him down with all that pressure. He was sooooo good back in the day. I remember seeing the TKO against Meldrick Taylor with two seconds left. I was like 10 years old. What an ending.

That fight was scary. He broke Taylor that day. Literally broke his face, his spirit, and his future. And Taylor might have been the most talented guy on that US boxing squad.
