This fight reminded me of Chavez vs Taylor. In both, the brawler got outpointed until the very last minite of the last round; and only when they knocked down (TKO) the stylist, did the brawler get the dividents for all earlier expenditure and investment... I also consider Lara used the right...

Not everyone saw him losing this fight, and certainly, the judges that had Hurd winning by a point had lara leading the fight all the way till the knock down. I do think Lara is significantly declining (not only his foot speed is diminished), and I consider he’ll likely be knocked out by Hurd...

This fight contradicts your argument.

The Wlad AJ faced and Furry ridiculed more than a year before was just a hint of the Wlad we knew as one of the very best ever. On the other hand, even though Ortiz is OLD, there was no indication he was (is) done... So, out of the two, I also pick Wilder the most challenging and significant...

Perhaps, you may anticipate that they (contrary to you) won’t even try learning Russian or Kazakh if he fights GGG, or any other language or dialect whenever Canelo fights a foreign oppenent in order to keep supporting him.

I really don’t know how much Lara has deteriorated lately, and that’s the big unknown variable here. However, it is always counterintuitive for me to choose against the better (superior) boxer based on the size and punching power of his opponent. Paul Williams as tall as Hurd, had longer reach...

I consider Wilder to be a more difficult match for Klitshkov than Joshua was. The reason for my opinion derives from the fact that Wlad style is optimized for his size advantage (which similar to AJ) and defense. But this adantage(s) is(are) basically nullified by Wilder’s height and reach, who...

I see your point, and that’s unfortunate... Yet, there is always someone out there who may have your number regardless... And I believe to stop Loma’s offensive, you need the left hook instinctively ready to attack head and/or body to discourage Loma’s matrix move (as Verdejo did once; it...

I’m looking forward to Verdejo’s return. I’m very exited about a potential rematch with him and Lomachenko in the professional arena (but BA may never allow that fight... wouldn’t be the first time...).

You surpass Wilder in promoting this fight... hillariously dangerous...

GGG odds against Hagler wouldn’t be worse (likely better) than Duran’s. But with Sanchez in his corner, GGG would bring the wrong fight plan against Hagler, and he loses... However, Hagler could struggle against those who box and move, and there was a time GGG could do that efficiently. Thus...

There must be some special attribute(s) in Kovalev that has made him the force he is in the LH division; else, we’re talking Voodoo or some esoteric form of boxing... However, pinpointing what makes him such a dominating fighter seems difficult to determine. We may say Kovalev isn’t much faster...

But Odlanier Solis was relatively unorthodox (for a Cuban fighter), and his overhand right affected Ortiz consistently. Not to cite myself (sorry about that, but in a previous post I mentioned precissely that Wilder’s unorthodox style could represent bad news for Ortiz - based on his performance...

It was evident in the fight that Ortiz tactics was to capitalize on countering Wilder with jabs over jab and left crosses (preferably in a linear combination). And Ortiz position himself well to maximize his chances in this effective countering. I don’t think Wilder was confused by this; rather...

Wilder showed much more than just heart, chin, stamina, etc. His ability to adapt his fight plan to meet the challenge at hand should not be ignored. He was in front of a southpaw well schooled, with good (great) fundamentals (for the modern heavies), and with a tactical plan designed to...

MMA is a multidimensinal combat sport consisting of many others. Boxing is just one of those dimensions (grappling, submissions, kicking, etc., represinting other dimensions). Alternatively, we can say that boxing is a subset of MMA, and as a boxer you can have certain success in MMA. However...

Not quite... Canelo, whether running or trying to outbox GGG in Lara’s or FM’s style, will not minimize GGG chances simply because that is not a natural style for Canelo. In my opinion, when Canelo engaged GGG in their 1st fight, he had better returns; and it looked to me GGG felt it and could...

I do remember Floyd in Atlanta against both the Cuban and the Bulgarian; very good bouts indeed!!! Frankly, I wrongly saw the Cuban winning and the Bulgarian losing... Yet, although controversial for some, I don’t think these bouts even compare to RJJ fragrant robbery of his gold in Seoul...

No. In my opinion, he surpasses Floyd in ring intelligence and tactics. Furthermore, he is effectively undefeated as a professional, and was so for most of his amateur career. He is a gold medallist; Floyd got bronze. He did face the top echelon in several divisions...

At 31, Ugas should be more careful with his professional career and record. He should not accept last-minute fights (for a paycheck) even if he trains and keep himself in shape all the time. This professional boxing, and the fights require more than just skill, experience, and physical...
