mikey perez? i really thought he was gonna be pretty good and fun to watch for years he was looking slick for a big man but he has looked demoralized and done ever since he basically killed that guy in the ring. i saw he was trying to come down to cruiserweight. don't see it ending well for him.

He fought on a Hearn show a few weeks back at CW, unfortunately the opponent was that bad it didn't even last a round. He's refocused and in great shape tbf to him.

A TV advert has just reminded that Eubank's world title (lol) defence is pay per view.

LOL

Jamie Cox has been added to the SMW tournament. I bet Groves regrets signing up now.

I love the chattering about a Lomachenko/Rigondeaux fight. I hate how it's not going to happen.

Loma is likely to become the most avoided fighter in the sport next to Rigondeaux. In that sense, it's a great idea for them to fight. When nobody would fight Sergio Martinez and Paul Williams, they fought each other and the first fight was a classic.

I don't know why people don't have Lomachenko as #1 p4p. Seems that recency bias is pretty strong and that most people think Ward is the #1 p4p.

Lol Ward at #1. Dude is a great fighter, but putting ahead of both of those guys is nuts. Their skill gap to their competition is nuts.

p4p lists are pretty arbitrary anyway. Just something to discuss.

Like how Teddy Atlas hasn't had GGG in his top 10 p4p list on ESPN for months. **** him.

Nuts? Ward just did the equivalent of someone stepping up in weight to beat Lomachenko...twice!

Once, maybe twice. Like I said, he's a great fighter, but I had him losing the first fight 114-113 And regardless, he's not embarrassing anyone the way Loma and Rigo are right now.

I'd put him a step below, with GGG following the Jacobs fight.

True. I forgive the occasional loss and focus more on how dominating a fighter is.

People have barely touched Bud or Hi-Tech which is I think they're top 2 p4p.

Keep your eyes open for Naoya Inoue

****, completely spaced on Bud. He's probably above Ward/GGG honestly but no one will believe it until he gets another high profile domination or so

Of course, the GOATest of GOAT



You'd think with his showboating and impressive fighting style that he'd be a much bigger name in the sport.

Don't see Rigo going up to 130. He's already pretty small for 120 (guy is only 5'4").

He already agreed to it (on twitter lol).

In other news, Ward/Kov 2 does 125,000 buys with 750,000 tuning into the rebroadcast per Yahoo

I think rigo would do it at this point he knows it's his only chance at a big payday. I have seen nothing from Loma to suggest he wouldn't either unless his handlers step in and they don't seem like the type to care about potentially losing.two time gold medalists going at it ??? Holy eff. I think rigo would be too small to win but I would watch the **** out of it

If the fight is gonna happen it will have to be soon as Loma will move up to 135 soon I think. I hope it happens . One of the most skillfull match ups ever not sure we will have a chance for four golds to step in the ring with each other. Somewhat unfair to rigo with size but thems the breaks. If rigo stepped up and won somehow it would be maybe the greatest accomplishment I have seen . I missed out on pacquiaos rise through the ranks unfortunately

If that doesn't happen I would love to see rigo v Gary Russell Jr. at 126. Would be interesting to compare with lomas excellent performance v him. I still like GRJ a lot what a ****in waste so far. We already know LSC and Frampton will never fight rigo but maybe Russell will


Random other guy who apparently is never in the gym and on the streets (GRJ still working hard I think)- Frankie Gomez. Guy is a clown but **** I would love to see him commit to the sport. Had a dominant win over Herrera on a Ppv and just disappeared from the sport again. Shame because tons of good fights at his weight

Rigo almost suffers from lack of big name fights as he gets dodged. But that makes his resume worse because even if you suspect he'd smash the dodgers, like Frampton etc, he hasn't actually done it.

As he tweeted out yesterday his one big fight he smashed donaire and then bob arum **** all over him afterwards and didn't do **** for his career lol

I loved donaire and remember thinking who the hell is this guy donaire has great odds being only a small favorite iirc. Whoops

Rigo over Donaire isn't too dissimilar from Loma over GRJr., those guys embarrassing high level talents before people expected it.

Hell Loma took Walters soul and by then it seemed Damn near expected.

Reports out there saying Bud is fighting Indongo next to unify the belts.

Great for everyone involved. Bud gets an important fight, Julius gets some cash, and 140 gets all 4 of its belts unified
