Boxing: General News & Discussion Thread

Has Whittaker left Boxxer? I thought it was just them getting in on the act and having their fighters like last time around on these cards like Clarke and Eubank Jr fightingon here, . It looks good overall, after the bill in America last time around no surprise to see Stevenson on this bill, if he didn't realise how things works, he certainly did meeting the Turki guy that night. I can't wait for Beterbiev vs Bivol fight, let's just all hope it happens this time around.

Yeah that's a cracker of a card.

Hadn't Eubank just signed with Boxxer too though? So Shalom is working with Uncle Turki now? No mention of Boxxer on the poster.

That's why I assumed he'd left, without really thinking about Wardley v Clarke and Eubank Jr to be honest.

Didn't see any of the boxing at the Olympics but reading the results. It looked the Uzbeks took total control in the mens. They won heavyweight and super heavyweight golds. Both fighters are pros already and undefeated. 

They won flyweight gold. Hasanboy Dusmatov won light flyweight gold at Rio in 2016, retired for Tokyo then came back from Paris in the next weight category and won again.

I think the most impressive was Abdumalik Khalokov at Featherweight. He won gold without dropping any points to his opponents throughout the tournament. I think Bakhodir Jalolov did the same at Super Heavyweight. He's 16-0 as a pro and all through stoppages.

Naya Inoue defending his undisputed Super-Bantamweight title tomorrow morning  from 07:30 on Sky Sports Main Event against TJ Doheny.  Inoue to do what he usually does and destroy a guy, he wins between four and six rounds by stoppage.

I could feel my testosterone levels rising.

The Monster fights in the morning.

[Egg Shen]

Yeah, think this one is gonna be a case of when not if Doheny gets knocked out

[NeverYield]

100%

I reckon Doheny will be a well beaten man within 5 rounds, if that, 3-4 more likely imo.

Also, it's nice to see that Bam Rodriguez and Estrada are having their rematch. NOT.

These silly clauses hold the sports top dogs up for the best part of a year, no needs for it. Let them get onto bigger things.

Yeah silly rematch, Bam put a beating on Estrade, rematch won't be any different.

Was I seeing things or did Inoue really fuck that boy’s back up with a body shot? Some finish that.

Just caught him at the end of the previous round and he didn't recover. Inoue is a monster 

[NeverYield]

Inoue is just a wrecking ball, not saying his footwork isn't good because it obviously is, but it's almost like rather than deftly moving his man into position to get the job done, he does it with sheer power, and shot selection, beaten into submission by sheer brute force.

[Egg Shen]

Everything he throws seems to hurt. Doheny was doing alright until about round 4 then he just he seemed to say "fuck this".

[NeverYield]

Yeah to be fair Doheny, whilst never overly competitive, was sitting down on his shots and doing better than I thought rounds 1 through 4, and like you say 5th round came and Inoue just switched it up.
