Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[LauderdaleBoss]

I 100% agree. Especially with Pac's bad defense & his tendency to lunge in head first. As Troy King says he could catch that #garlicbutter right hand counter & be sunny side up.

I wouldn't say Pac had bad defense. If his defense was bad, he would have gotten knocked out and dropped a lot more than he already has.

I think he's just offensively reckless to a fault at times. He'll move his head and use his feet to get out of danger, but back then he'd go for his a lot more than he should and would get caught. For such an offensive threat his defense was pretty solid.

I'd give Pac a better shot at beating Crawford then Thurman, Spence, or Brook.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

too bad that you only skimmed through it otherwise you would know that's not what I was talking about...

nah, I'm good. I don't think I missed much other than the usual why isn't the boring ass fighter I stan more loved by the media than GGG is that been going on for the last 3 years.

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

The sooner everyone comes to grips with the fact that GGG cannot be beaten at 160

So, just for the record - you think he beats Canelo at 160?

Yes.


For the record:


I think Gennady "GGG" Golovkin beats Saul "Canelo" Alvarez if they fight at Middleweight.

Try Sabas SABAS FIGHT GEAR | BOXING GLOVES| Custom Training/Sparring gear

Said to be comparable if not better to Grant and Winning but at a fraction of the cost

Never heard of them but looks decent

 

[PJTech]

Never heard of them but looks decent

They're relatively new but they are starting to get more and more traction with gyms and fighters

Pro series is their Grant equivalent

Super Soft is their Winning equivalent

WBA Unveils 'Fair Boxing' - Their New VADA Drug Testing Program


By Elisinio Castillo

The World Boxing Association officially introduced its "Fair Boxing" program, which the sanctioning body designed to combat the use of banned substances in boxing. The announcement was made at a press conference earlier today in Panama City, Panama.

Fair Boxing is a program that the WBA will regulate in a partnership with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

All of their world champions and boxers ranked in the top five will be required to take part in the program. The program officially kicked off this past Saturday night in Germany, during the WBA title fight between Jack Culcay and Demetrius Andrade.

WBA President Gilberto Mendoza Jr. created the program to fall in line with the WBCs Clean Boxing Program, which is very similar and also run with VADA.

"This is possible thanks to the Medical Committee of the WBA, they met in Panama to make Fair Boxing come true. This is also the result of a working meeting with colleague Mauricio Sulaimán (president of the World Boxing Council) in which we talked about pre-competition anti-doping testing and how it is much more important than testing post-combat, because there are substances that are not detected after the fight," Mendoza said.

"However, we also intend to give training value. The solution is not to sanction the athlete, but to educate him so that this does not happen. That is why we are going to implement seminars and courses so that we can offer a complete project. We will also look for our medical team to be able to give you advice as to what medicine you can take to avoid unintentional errors that could harm athletes' careers."

The creators of this project are the doctors: Larry Lovelace, Jorge Ramirez, Calvin and Shivina Inalsingh, who were supported by Dr. Margaret Goodman. They, as a whole, follow WADA's anti-doping regulations.



From now on, all world ranked boxers must register in the Fair Boxing program, especially if they want to be able to fight for world titles. Then random tests will be made to the fighters in order to have a better follow-up and ensure a fair competition.

I can agree with you but if it wasn't for his above average chin he would've been getting knocked down way more because he's very hittable. He's tightened up his D over the years though

I don't get the Diddy shyt?

Take dat take dat

cmon

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Yes.

lmao @ nobody can beat Triple G at 160, like he an invincible demon.

Get in brehs chest, hold, smother, use a physical advantage, have quick hands to box off the clinch, a strong jab, good D, good chin, good counter punching.




It ain't impossible. Dude is damn good though. If you can get off first and have him reset, you would have a huge advantage.
