Wbss in danger of folding before we even get to the semis apparently according to mike coppinger. Would be a real shame considering the 140 tourney is stacked but doesn’t surprise me in the slightest

No surprise given their inability to secure a TV deal...twice.

How incompetent do you have to be to **** this up?

Same lol. I saw the boxrec guy on twitter saying this is a stacked weekend of free fights but come on every favorite is like 15-1 at worst. I’ll watch tomorrow but there is no tension we know what will happen

Give me the ufc card any day that is a 50/50 main event

But unlike Ali, Fury actually hurt Wilder after getting up. It's why Wilder didn't go for the kill at the end. He was afraid of getting caught going in and potentially losing.

Larry Holmes got up and won the fight after Ernie Shavers, as hard a puncher as there has ever been, put him on the mat cold in the 7th. He barely made it up if I remember right.

I guess the josh Kelly fignt is off today he cancelled because of illness? No point tuning into this ****ty card now although I’m sure I will since there is nothing else on in the afternoon

I have never seen the Holmes shavers fight but I saw a lot of people online making that exact same comparison. Tbh I’ve only seen like one Holmes fight period on YouTube I should probably rectify that

Every future heavyweight should study Holmes's jab.

People know his fight against Ali and Tyson. They're both horrible fights.

If the one fight you watched wasn't against Ken Norton, then drop everything and watch it. That was a classic.

Brook looking pretty mediocre v Zarafe

Admire the balls on the ggg fignt but what a wasted career. Hopefully he can at least get the khan payday after khan loses to Crawford

Teofimo Lopez fighting soon. Absolute blue chip prospect I think. He should roll through Mason Menard and hopefully have a step up next

Dogboe getting smacked around quite a bit in the 2nd round.

Guy seems to always be in super-entertaining fights.

Dogboe seems to have stamina issues. Starts off quick for about a minute and then slows up then Navarrette turns it up.

God I hate Stephen A Smith.

Navarrette took that round off. He has no concern over Dogboe's power.

I'm very surprised. Navarrette reminds me of Leo Santa Cruz.

Well they're even on slips that could/should have been knockdowns.

They both have crazy good chins. This is similar to LSC/Frampton

-----------------------

Amazing that Dogboe went the distance. Case could have been made for stopping the fight in the 11th.

I don’t see how judges can screw Navarrete here he beat up Dogboe bad but I can never count anything out

Great performance

I don’t see how it will be remotely competitive but I’ve been wrong before

Dogboe classy in defeat. Got humbled. Only 24 I think he finds a real gym and trainer and can recover from this and learn a lot. Navarette won fair and square and easily not sure what’s next for him. Don’t think the division is very deep
