this is tonight as well, solid Top Rank card (only on Fite in the UK though). Lopez/Commey is a great fight.

anyone else getting the sense that Marshmallow isnt a fan of Colby?

thats what Chris Eubank did when he won the IBO title.

Cowboy/Conor was finally made official last night along with Tony/Khabib. This 246 poster though is an abomination. Could any less effort have been put into this? its genuine too.

fucking hell😄 i was listening to Luke Thomas earlier on Submission Radio and he said that as soon as someone outs Colby as a star you get a response from people questioning his numbers. Marshmallow just did exactly that.

uh oh, the big boys gonna throw down...

jesus

there's some new African/European promotion airing on Fight Pass this Saturday. Seeing alot being made online about the debut of heavyweight Reug Reug. He's a Senegalese Wrestling Champion (one of those weird sports that gets shared about from time to time) and he looks abit of a unit. Gonna have to try and catch his fight.

The GOAT. Matt Skelton was also a 'World Champion', here is his holding the prestigious WBU belt:

Its just a standard grappling contest where people score points for their team if they win. This weekends is loaded with MMA fighters.

Cain aint making 205, ever.

the WBC is usually considered the top belt, thats likely down to its history though. ...any love here for the IBO? what about the WBF?😄

I see what you're saying, but thats just the way boxing goes. As long as there's 4 governing bodies all jockying for position with mandatories and getting their belt inline to be defended there's always gonna be bullshit like that Usyk/Parker situation you mention above. You dont need to look far to see many examples of guys becoming world champions without really deserving it or even beating a champ to become champ. I guess its how someone defends a belt that truly solidifies their position as a legit world champion. Joshua's initial path is great proof of that, he first became champ beating a guy who won a vacant belt in a fight where a guy injured his knee and couldnt continue. Joshua went on to defend the same belt 6 times, i guess by that he'd proven he was a legit world champion.

the most mental thing about it is that even in his prime 145 years, the talk every fight was that it may be Aldo's last one at the weight because he was struggling so bad. Now on the back end of his career when it'll be even more difficult to shift the weight, he's cutting to 135lb, mental.
