scope Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Lots of good fights coming up so I figured why not make a thread. GGG vs Jacobs Garcia vs Thurman Joshua vs Klitschko Canelo vs Chavez Jr. Brook vs Spence ...and now Khan vs Pac Which fight are you most excited for?

Zenigundam Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 GGG vs. Jacobs I would say I didn't really watch more than a minute or two of Thurman vs.Garcia on Saturday, but Thurman decision seemed likely based on how they fight. Golovkin-Jacobs is just about guaranteed to end in a stoppage whether its a standard GGG outing or a decent-sized upset TKO by Jacobs.

scope Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thuman vs. Garcia was a snooze fest.....I think Brook vs. Spence has potential to be really good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarPanda Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Canelo vs Chavez is next on the list As soon as this fight was announced in was like really what has chavez done to compare or even get this fight but I guess it brings money. I expect canelo to ko, would be a big upset if chavez somehow pulls it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Lots of good fights coming up so I figured why not make a thread. GGG vs Jacobs Garcia vs Thurman Joshua vs Klitschko Canelo vs Chavez Jr. Brook vs Spence ...and now Khan vs Pac Which fight are you most excited for? I loved GGG vs Jacobs...that was a god damn good fight no matter what anyone says...I'd like to watch it again, but I wasn't mad at the decision...looking forward to both those guys fighting again... Garcia vs Thurman was clear cut win for Thurman who has certainly proven himself a solid boxer/puncher...he played Garcia and no matter what his father says, Garcia knew it...I think Garcia's limitations, though they've been exposed before, really came to light in this match...Thurman isn't going to be topping any p4p rankings, but he's a solid champ... Joshua vs Klitschko is a must watch for me because for a while now I saw Deontay Wilder as being the one possessed of the tools to make the next Heavyweight king, but he almost looks like he's regressed...didn't like what I saw in his last couple fights...so now i'm looking to Joshua, who I hope can put it together...he's not untalented...he just doesn't overly impress me with what he's done so far...hopefully he pulls together an improved fight IQ for this fight with Klitschko, who has a very real chance at beating him, no matter what people think of his age... Canelo vs Chavez jr is not getting my money, but it'll get a lot of other people's money and that's all that matters, I guess '>.> (Canelo within six rounds by way of whatever he wants) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 saw the joshua vs klitschko fight yesterday. ended in a nice knockout in the 11th round by joshua. these fuckers were huge and didnt know klitschko was 41 years old! on to canelo vs chavez this saturday. you know someone in my family is gonna have that. spanish tv is hyping the hell out of this.

Distortedreasoning Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I can't believe they tried to say Joshua was winning that on the cards before the knockout....go fuck yourselves, corrupt fucks.... the match was definitly a lot closer than that. i though joshua was going to win in the 5th round but klitschko came back really strong and took over all the way till the 11th round. as for the canelo fight, that went as predicted. was really hoping for a ko. the ending had us all lauging since the intro of golovkin was something straight out of wwf. still hyped.

scope Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Brook vs Spence isn't getting much press but I think it has the potential to be a barn burner. I think a lot of people are expecting Spence to win but I actually favor Kell in this one, he's got great timing on his uppercuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scope Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 More entertaining than I thought it would be tonight, but ended with one of the worst robberies I've ever seen and with last month's great rounds that ended with shots to the groin I'm getting really tired of the powers that be ruining this great sport. It's a shame because there are some nice looking fights upcoming, but I can't get excited anymore for it...I know boxing has always had its fair share of bullshit but this year has been pretty terrible with it so far.
