Yes! I remember the guy closing the shop and standing there rubbing his hands together whilst Jackson wanders around going "I'll have that one and I like that" and buys half the shop. All of which was ****.

This guy destroys Wilder, great vid. Built on hype then took on Fury cause he was fat and out of boxing.

The part about Fury is a stretch. Fury fought twice after his comeback before facing Wilder. "Fat" is obviously a relative term but Fury was 17lbs lighter for the first Wilder fight than for the second one and 20lbs lighter than for the third one (or the Ngannou fight).

Tyson Fury's undisputed world heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk has been postponed after the Briton sustained a "freak" cut in training.

Jake Paul picking on the elderly again, will fight Mike Tyson in July.

No idea if there's actual value betting on Tyson should the fight take place.

It's most likely going to be an exhibition fight (Tyson is almost 60) and based on his exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. there might not even be real judges. In case anyone remembers that fight from a couple years ago, Tyson dominated the fight from start to finish and outlanded him in 7 of the 8 rounds with one round even. Fight ended in a draw on the scorecards.

Only watched the final two fights of the card. Parker vs. Zhang was absolutely terrible. Basically nothing happened except for the two times Parker went down.

Hard to feel bad for Ngannou because he made $20mil in 5 minutes but that was a horrible decision by the referee to let him continue after the second knockdown.

WTF is going on with Ryan Garcia?? Some kind of video about loving his fans and crying about it.

People are saying he is in midst of mania. Some say from weed or coke. Too bad social media is capturing it all. Woulda never come to light without it. Someone needs to get him some help, if he mxies drugs or drinking in this state he could get into big trouble.


"Patients showing a manic episode often have delusions common in schizophrenia, and euphoria common during cocaine usage."

Had super low expectations for Haney - Garcia because of Ryan's super erratic behavior and odds that I think closed at -900 Haney.

Instead we got a contender for fight of the year and biggest upset in a big name fight in a long time. Pretty sure we're going to see that one again soon.

Garcia seems next level sharp

no one cares about belts in boxing anyway so may as well just disregard the rules since winning the title is meaningless, still got 90% of his purse anyway and everyone saw him win


if he can stay alive, many future paydays await

Ryan kind of reminds me of Charlie Sheen at this point. Seems to be heading in that direction. Wondering a bit how not making the weight, not for the title, if that affected the champ at all, and how much being heavier helped Garcia. Great win. I used to like the guy.

If people didn't care way too much about random belts we wouldn't have a million different organizations with the main purpose of collecting sanctioning fees.

Garcia was basically between weight classes, 147lbs would have been the next one already. What probably helped more than those 3.2 pounds was the fact that he didn't have to try to loose them and that they didn't have a rehydration clause for fight night. Hindsight is always 20-20 but that obviously was a huge mistake from the Haney camp, probably because they were overconfident. I don't think there's any way Ryan wins that fight if he can't weight >150 lbs before stepping into the ring.

FWIW, I feel like the way Ryan used the Philly shell is borderline illegal. The far he turned might have crossed the line between unsportsmanlike and leading with your back. The latter is obviously not OK. If you employ the stance like Mayweather to counter off of it, that's perfectly fine. Trying to make sure your opponent isn't able to hit any part of your body legally is not.
