some great matches coming up...and no ppv!!!

I would love to see Thurman beat Garcia, but my gut is telling me that Garcia pulls this one out...kovalev/ward 2 gonna take kovalev...santa cruz/Frampton 2 gotta go with leo he will be better prepared this time.

Kovalev is my current favorite (active) boxer! Love watching that dude do his thing!

I use to love Manny PAC and before him I loved to watch Aturo Gatti. Tito Trinidad was another past favorite of mine.

I was at Gatti/Ward 3 in AC! I used to go to a lot of boxing fights, but I don't really go anymore. Boxing fights are so electrifying to watch in person. It's probably my favorite sporting even to go to even though I go to way more football games.

I am rooting for Thurman too! I would say it's an even 50/50 shot on this one.

Great fight last night!
agreed....Thurman clearly won-can't believe it was a split decision...gotta give Garcia credit, the man definitely has a chin-those upper cuts Thurman landed would have decked most fighters!!!

True! Thurman won every round except two IMO. Did you watch the undercard fight before the main event?

That undefeated kid Lubin in the undercard looks solid to me. It was a hell of a knockout!

it was indeed a hellova knockout...he pulled back and threw his full weight and momentum into it...but, a more skilled boxer would have seen that one coming, imo....very rarely do I see a top notch boxer get caught with that kind of punch, I need to see lubin up against a more talented fighter!!!

Absolutely^ that guy wasn't very talented, but he was known for having a good chin. So it was still somewhat impressive to me. But yeah a better fighter wouldn't have even been hit by that punch.

Curious if Jacobs could still hang in there with GGG if he actually made weight.

I didn't get to watch the Triple GGG vs Jacobs fight. I hear it was pretty even.

Is triple GGG vs Canelo really going to happen?

TKO 11 round!!! That dude is fun to watch!
yeah, my favorite boxer to watch atm....good defense but he takes chances and does get hit, but no one wants to fight him-he breaks guys down then makes them look stupid slow.

Yeah thanks for mentioning this guy! I like him because it's always fun watching someone this talented at their craft. He is mad fast and throws good combos. He punches hard enough too. I like how he can dodge punches well, but he doesn't seem scared to get hit and may even let it happen sometimes.

Floyd was never entertaining! I only watched him in hopes he would get knocked out. But, your right defensively he would never put himself out there for that to happen. He may be a very dumb person, but in the ring he is as smart as they come.

I wouldn't be suprised if people start ducking this guy.
lol...they already are!!!

it's going to be hard to find top notch fighters willing to go against him. gary Russell jr was very highly ranked and he got schooled--just like walters and sosa.

Canelo handles Chavez jr IMO!!! I don't see JR taking that match-up.

It would be a good fight to watch though.

i agree...but like I said if odds are good enough I might put down $50....I had $100 on douglas beating Tyson, I think the payoff was 50-1.

I agree, but the fight last night was pretty damn boring. He did try to make it exciting though.
I am hoping for a gervanta davis fight...but lomachenko is promoted by bob arum and davis by Floyd...bob and Floyd have bad blood-but hey, money talks!!!
