great victory...i was good and high in jamaica watching this in my suite :myman:


Absolute robbery. Beterbiev admitted himself that "he got lucky" in the post fight interview. Everyone, and I mean everyone thought Bivol would get stopped in 6 rounds. Then when that didn't happen, they had to double back and say "Bu bu bu Beterbiev outboxed Bivol", which they knew was impossible

That's why I don't want to see a useless trilogy. Bivol already outclassed Beterbiev 2 fights in a row

Just finished watching Baraou vs Tellez
Baraou is really good at inside fighting, and strong as well. Boots have been comfortable majority of his fights sharpshooting at long range pretending to be Roy Jones

Baraou forces you into a inside fighting slugfest. And he's very sneaky with generating power from close range. Boot's defense being leaky could cause some problems. If they fight, I can see this as another Karen situation

I thought the same thing. If Baraou's chin is as sturdy as it looks, he'll make him very uncomfortable & pay for his swiss cheese defense. And Baraou punches pretty well in combo's so that definitely makes him dangerous

One thing about Linares that I do like is that after he absolutely rocked Devin Haney, he then right after escorted Haney to his seat

What a gentleman

@Knicksman20 @TheNig @desjardins

Uh oh Eddie Hearn and Boots calling out Crawford :lupe::mjgrin:

They just can't keep Bud's name out of their mouths

These dudes realize Bud is 38 and fights once a year? :what:
154 is stacked and yet they focused on a dude who is never coming back down to that weight
Eddie need to put the money up so Boots can make a fight people care about, the attendance Saturday looked like a Sixers preseason game
