Question: I see a lot of praise for Lomachenko performance, but was his opponent some top tier guy because I don't really know anything about him? Was he a threat or just somebody to get him back in the ranks of the winning?

yeah Tank will get a cut of ppv, gate, and sponsorships

Tank I'm sure gets back-end money.
Whats crazy is that the under card fighters have to pay their trainer, manger, cut guy, etc...from that little amount of money.

He wasnt top tier but he was definitely dangerous. For comparison, Teo struggled with him in 2019 and afterwards he said he ain’t fighting no more tall fighters. Saturday night Loma washed his ass.

Possible, but I think the postponing has more to do w/ Fury being out of fighting shape and not being ready to fight on the 24th.
Didn’t the arbitration judge say the fight has to happen by September 15th? Let me check :idea:

I ain’t trying to be a conspiracy theorist but this further proves the case for those who said Fury was doing what he could to get out of a third fight. Not my opinion but its mighty coincidental.

you can still get infected being vaccinated, all it takes is 1 person in the camp, now if we wanna get into theories, some are saying ticket sales, ppv, closed circuit etc. are not tracking well being the real reason to postpone

Aren't both fighters and camps vaccinated?

Just Fury MO. He delayed the the second fight by having two fights before eventually fighting Wilder for the second time instead of having the immediate rematch. He wants Wilder off focus.

I guess Goldenboy is the only show in town this weekend. Friday night fight!!!






I usually don't bet on Dominican boxers but I'm hoping Javier Fortuna can pull it out...
