This is true. Turki was trying to setup a fight with Tszyu vs Bud a yr or so back and Tszyu was opting to fight a inactive Keith Thurman instead. Turki probaly thinks he is a bytch and dont respect him. He's probably triggered and unhinged from dealing with bytchmade fighters like Teo and Ryan Garcia that ducked out their big pay fights Turki setup. I dont blame him

Turki’s getting real arrogant as of late.
His money opened some new dimensions as in promoters putting their best fighters against other promoters’ best and generally making good fights but he shouldn’t act like his cards are an exclusively elite party.
The list of fighters who participated in his cards includes Ngannou and he’s courting Jake Paul to fight AJ so no need to talk off the high horse like Tszyu wouldn’t cut his elite club

it shouldnt have been and Barrios was easy betting favorite. He could have won the fight with just simple activity to speed up the pace. He wasnt doing shyt until the last few rounds. regardless of the decision Barrios lost the fight, figuratively and literally.
guess marquez was literally the only person that watch film and could see that if u time everytime manny starts to stutter step...
let him get it off a couple of times.. to make em comfortable in doin it ....
his guard is down and u can literally put em to sleep..
he has done that in every single fight since he learned that stupid ass shyt ...
lol

People are saying Barrios carried him or didn’t want to hurt him. While I do think Barrios could have done more and could have won had he been more active earlier I don’t believe he carried him. I lean more towards Barrios isn’t that good to dominate an old Manny. I don’t recall any fighter carrying another fighter before the fight was in the bag or seriously hurting the opponent. Do I care about a rematch? Not really. But what is next for both?

I really hope this guy isn't trying to build a path to Davis after this fight. I can 100% see him fighting someone like Pitbull next..

He didn't wanna open up too much & possibly get hurt or KO'ed to me
Imagine being the younger champ & getting KO'ed by a 46 years old legend lol? That's why I think he fought the way he did
nah kovalev was hitting him with some shyt and damn near tried to body him in the last round
seth mitchell vs johnathon banks 2...banks literally had to hold back numerous times to not knock mitchell out again to make it seem "close"

I'm intriguedbut yeah
on the prelims..it was good to see magsayo and gary russ fight again...magsayo needs to tighten up his defense and gary needs to fight again in about 3 months...i do think he carried dude but he clearly got labored in the 2nd half of the fight...fight more get more ring rust off...i can see magsayo vs gary russ 2 in the future....picasso went a hard 10 rounds with the lesser of the kameda brothers...that is not how you audition to be monster's next opponent
main card
joet and young figgy went to war in the phone booth....joet to me won a clear 8 rounds in that fight...figgy dropped too many rounds and was really getting the worse of it..no defense or jabs..in the last 3 rounds he was firing back and had joet's face all swollen and shyt...he looked like he was close to breaking joet and drop him..but like i said before...joet is a tough racist...that hate in him keeps him standing upright...he def got robbed in that fight..figgy is gonna learn another lesson again refusing to jab or utilize basic defense..he's already looking like the wars are catching up to him..joet might be firmly in the jobber to the stars role now..it is what it is
cruz and salcido was disappointment..salcido showed mad heart and determination when he bodied young b-hop and extending andy cruz to the distance..this fight he was happy to the play the role of the punching bag...which was fitting because cruz fraud ass landed punching bag combinations all night..salcido dutifully let cruz shave years off his career...the only effective thing he could was tie up cruz once in a while which got him a point took..then cruz drops him and has him on the verge of being ko'ed..the fact it was 10 rounds is the only reason he did not get ko'ed..cruz wins an easy decision and somehow has an interim belt for some odd reason..i bet you anything he wont fight matias though..salcido its back to probox for you
fundora-tszyu 2...the boxing gods can be so so cruel...one minute you're flying high as a top dog in boxing's most dangerous division about to be in a big marquee fight...the next min you're losing 3 of your last 4 fights...career trajectory changes are so cruel..the fire that timmy displayed in the first fight with fundora while bleeding from the worst cut seen since jack-browne while inflicting heavy damage himself or the heart that carried him as he took a savage beating from murtazaliev...all that seems to have been punched out of him...it was sad...tim got knocked down in round 1 and fundora never let his foot off the gas..and this time he did with using his jab and reach...shocking...tszyu did bloody his nose and whip his head back with shots but seemed like he didnt know what to do or have a game plan...certainly not going to the body which was open...cant miss a 6'5 torso...i think the fire in him is now like an ember...he was a beaten man in the corner when they waved it off..tim got to do some soul searching to see if he wants to continue to box because 154 is not the division to slack up..fundora showed it wasnt just tim being bloodied badly but his defense is also looking bad...his dimensions will make him a tough out but 154 has enough punchers to make him pay if he's not careful..shyt brian mendoza is a b level guy and already knocked him the fukk out
the main event....pac vs barrios...ive mentioned for like 6 years how bad a fighter i think barrios is....and just like caleb plant who i always thought was mid..this is the year where im proved correct...you have a 46 year old with wear and tear and has not fought in almost 4 years...this was a set up to get some momentum since you are having hard fights in title defenses with b and c level welters...he was suppose to come outt, in his village people aztec warrior get up, and put manny pac away into retirement..instead you show the legend respect and allowed him to control the ring and get off than he should....manny looked every bit of 46..footwork shaky..combinations came in spurts...the engine was missing a few spark plugs..and barrios had the nerve to be competitive with that...it was a horrible fight to watch...barrios really lost this fight to me on the cards...like 7-5 ish..he also lost because he didn't do any real damage to manny while manny put a trademark under his eye...2 draws in a row against a b level fighter and a washed legend...get this nikka mario barrios the fukk up outta here man
..even barrios trainer couldn't hide the disgust...the big stages he got and he struggles...you know how bad you have to be that even janibek who is a 2 belt champ in an even worse division is a better champion than him..if im rolly or whoever the mando is for barrios..im calling for this fight...shyt even tank with his issues can prolly go up and take the belt off barrios...as for pac...he gave it a good honest effort but father time has called and he better answer it...he didn't lose and his wife doesnt have to feed him with swollen eyes...take the money and retire...dont disgrace yourself being in the ring and having hard fights from people who couldn't carry your protective cup in your prime
its not the best ppv offering from pbc...but just like i used to be disgusted at pbc pushding robert guerrero at the beginning..the mario barrios experiment is a fail...keep him away from main and co main spots on cards...the long islands i had at D&B were strong..that was a plus for the evening i guess lol
