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

Real Player.

Circa '98, running real player and a bootleg pro tools, waking up at 2:00 am to stream and record 'Future Flavas' to then bounce to cassette tape to listen to on the way to school.

Real Player was an important application, in a lot ways. Quiet Storm (The OG version with just P) was through that shyt in the school library, and it still sounded incredible. .

those days make me appreciate how much streaming has evolved to what it is now...both video and audio

Just imagine all the fights we woulda got had Turki hit the scene 10 yrs ago

We woulda got Wilder vs AJ when it was supposed to happen 2018... Canelo vs Ward or Ward vs ggg...Lara vs Jermell Charlo...ggg vs Andrade vs Jarmall Charlo.. Bud vs Spence before the accident.. Claressa vs Leila Ali before covid.. Stevenson vs Kovalev... i can keep going but yall get the point

He shouldn't even be involved in that aspect. Especially with his history. He's one of the biggest scumbags of all time. If he has ties to vada it means he has relationships there. He has possible confidants. That also means it's possible he has intel on random testing times. He shouldn't be involved on any level. There's plenty of people they can hire as advisors who didn't go to prison for producing and distributing steroids. And fighters have a right to feel uneasy about him being involved.

And either way, Brian Norman already agreed to start testing on August 1st. Which is 4 months of testing. Double the usual amount of 8 weeks that most fights have. So for the haneys to try and create a narrative of Brian Norman ducking testing when it's absolutely false is a clown move on their part. And that's exactly the type of stuff that gets them so much flack outside of the ring. They're trying to paint Norman as a cheater because they decided they wanna change the testing window that was already agreed upon. That's corny behavior.

I hear you.. and fighters or boxing fans do have a right to feel uneasy about anything they want to whether its Conte being involved with atletes or not... the problem is the outrage is too selective.. Conte/SNAC has been involved with athletes for too long to all of a sudden feel a way about fighter associatedwith SNAC.. SNAC has a laundry list of fighters under that brand to this day. And you barely heard a peep about it until Ryan Garcia popped dirty then all of a sudden nikkas running around acting likt its some grand conspiracy with VADA now.. Miss me with the bs...

As far as Brian Norman and the testing... Norman has already agreed to the Haneys demand of starting the testing now.. In fact if you agreed to random testing, it should start immediately after the fight is signed. This shyt was never an issue. Norman initially making the excuse that he was going on vacation only sounded sketchy because, as you already know, they will test you wherever you go. You just have to inform them of your whereabouts

What made the Haney's feel some type of way is when Shawn Porter in his podcast said that the Haney's are looking for a way to get out of the fight
Also on Tha Boxing Voice podcast Shawn came on, and they talked about how Turki came to the Normans first about the fight, Turku forced the Haney's hand, and now they are pretending they are calling out Brian Norman Jr

They know Shawn Porter touched a nerve, that's why they are attacking him

Was Jared Anderson the all-time most disappointing attempt at a highly touted boxing prospect ?

I blame ESPN, they should’ve never put a camera in that man’s face. Changed everything

Someone made a good point that nikka was hanging with lil nikkas and boxed like a little nikka, the single mom attitude was just the icing on the cake

Porter been talking out his azz.

Devin hit Turki who hit up the Normans about the deal, Brian himself already confirmed that the Haney's wanted the smoke.

Then he's up there with his moptop sidekick insinuating these VADA/Snac conspiracies, Only to walk it back the next day.
...When HES the one who introduced the Haney's to Snac in the first place, and he was with them himself. He's been acting like the biggest hoe through all of this.

RIP Vernon Forrest. That still pisses me off to this day

Monster's masterpiece

Boxing twitter was hilarious that morning and so was the fight thread on here lol. A lot of people were talking out of their ass in that one

But but monster never fought a black fighter before..

Man it wasn't even competitive! One sided as fukk.

Monster was pretty much a lock for #1 p4p, then Crawford goes ahead and beats the fukk out of Spence.

Crazy week of boxing lol

The fact of the matter is Turki started this he sent both an offer at the same time so this wasn't any side seeking smoke. It was stated Turki informed Devin if he wants to work with him there won't be any easy fights and that's where they went down the list of Boots then Norman after Ryan canceled himself out.

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis has signed a long-term multi-fight promotional extension with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing and DAZN.

The Philadelphia star first penned a deal with Hearn in April 2024, and returned home for the first time in almost six years three months later, defending his IBF Welterweight title for the first time at the Wells Fargo Center with a stoppage win over David Avanesyan, and then returned to the same spot to clinically outpoint mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in November.

Ennis (34-0 30 KOs) then unified the 147lb division with a stunning stoppage win over WBA ruler Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City in April, and now the 28 year old has decided to move to 154lbs and news of his first step on the path to becoming a two-weight World ruler will drop soon.

“Working with Eddie and Matchroom is just a great connection, I love how they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make me a superstar!” said Ennis. “I’m ready to get going at 154lbs and I am hunting the big names and the belts; now it’s time to shut everybody up!”

“I’m delighted that Jaron has committed himself to Matchroom and DAZN,” said Hearn. “Since we first started working with him last April, we’ve proved together that he is one of very few fighters in the US that can draw huge crowds in the arena, with the three events we’ve staged with Jaron pulling in well over 30,000 fans at the gate, and that’s added to big numbers on DAZN. I’m so excited to see Boots set about the 154lb division, where you are going to see a different beast and his full arsenal on display.”

the wild thing is this has to happen...the fight was boring and surprisingly decisive ..i have no interest but this time im sure rolly will be upgraded as full WBA welterweight champion once boots lets go of that belt ..so it will be for "higher stakes"


higher stakes and rolly romero being mentioned at the same time...damn this game changed man ..welterweight is super trash
