I hope I’m wrong .I wish I had more disposable income st the moment as I would freaking love to fly to England to watch it . Those fans are just levels above Americans . In other news I’m gonna go to the ESPN fights on 6/30 in OKC. Pretty ****ty card with Gilberto Ramirez headlining and a bunch of people I have never heard of on the co main and undercard but whatever. Going with the gfs grandpa . Prob the last live card he will ever see we don’t get to see much in the Midwest so I’ll take what I can get. He tells stories of seeing sugar ray Robinson in an exhibition in bum **** Oklahoma when he was a kid and he loves boxing so glad we can watch together at least I love the guy . He Was a wrestler at OU then a foreign ambassador in Central America. Interesting stories for sure
I know it’s a fight no one is really clamoring for but personally I would like to see manny rematch horn and avenge his “loss” then retire . It’s a match he could (should) win and would let him go out on top rather than potentially getting completely embarrassed by someone else like lomachenko or someone bigger who could really hurt him . That being said I think Lomachenko pacquiao would be a very easy sell for ESPN and everyone involved would make a lot more money so I expect it to happen . Not really the worst idea in the world since Manny wouldn’t get hurt too bad in all likelihood and frankly if you squint hard enough you could see Manny holding his own I think and not getting embarrassed. I think Linares showed that as generational as Loma is he is only human and he just isn’t that big . I expect that fight to happen for sure and much prefer it over Manny Crawford of course which I would
Have a difficult time watching. I’m kind of embarrassed that as recently as maybe two years ago or so I think I said ITT I still might favor manny over Crawford . That is obviously completely wrong at this point and it’s not even a remotely interesting fight for me other than for torch passing bs purposes. It’s a waste of time
This would never happen because he isn’t a household name yet but if manny wants to fight at 140 I personally would be really interested in seeing him fight Regis Prograis. Pipe dream but would be interesting to me as I think Progais is really marketable and very talented yet hasn’t fought any big names yet . Doubt the promoter stuff would work either
