Boxing The CIS Boxing Thread

Nicely done, Steve.

Do you see the quality of matchups consistently improving (eventually) with TKO’s involvement? To something closer to what we saw in the 80s and 90s (and even early aughts) when HBO and Showtime were really humming?

Or have we crossed the rubicon? It felt like boxing really took a hit from Covid. So many top fighters were at the end of their runs, and the younger guys just weren’t active enough.

I love the sport and remain hopeful it can sustain and come back. I think it’s great that Netflix has such a big audience and they are doing “numbers”…but boxing needs marketing! HBO was great at this, especially considering it was premium cable (and didn’t have the biggest “reach”). They always maintained different types of content to help market and develop fan bases for fighters. 24/7, Face Off, Legendary Nights, etc.

Would love to see Netflix/TKO start to lean into that type of programming more as they build out their stable.

My only concern is that TKO will only cause more division within the sport. Everyone has their stable of boxers on a particular platform, and basically we don't see a lot of cross-promotional match-ups unless they have to make those bouts

Honestly, it is what it is

Whatever happens, happens..

**** of a card but should be a pretty easy card to pick. All the favorites should win convincingly. Only outlier is to see how Haney acts once Norman touches him.... He's a WAY better boxer than Norman, but he might see ghosts when he feels that power.

When's the last time we had 2 undefeated fighters this good facing each other in their actual prime? De la Hoya vs Trinidad? both were 26 and WAY WAY bigger stars than either of these dudes at the time.

Norman Haney will be exciting. Big fight for both guys. DB should dominate. Look forward to another masterclass from Bam.

If Norman tries to outbox Haney, he's gonna get schooled. If Haney sits in the pocket and tries to trade, he's getting slept. So the fight could also be a disaster. Norman pressing and trying to make it a fight while Haney is moving(running) trying to create space and tying up on the inside constantly.

Haney seems like a nice kid, but his pops is such a douche that I hope Devin tries to trade with Norman.
