Slow Joyce just can't beat this guy.

I can't believe Joyce's corner thought that by just circling left, doing a half ass shoulder roll and leaning back on each straight left, they were gonna win this. Like Joyce really tried to roll and counter Zhang. His corner really thought he could ? With what speed or timing lol ?

 

[HeathCliff]

I’m sorry. I meant what do you think of Australia

I can only speak for Melbourne. Melbourne is dope as hell. One of the best cities I’ve ever visited. The people are cool as hell. The coastal cities are VERY diverse. That was a surprise to me. But not really if you think about how close they are to Asia.

oh you moved to Melbourne? yea Melbourne the only city down under I've been to almost like 20 yrs ago visiting this white bitch from MSN Messenger, well she actually told me down there they considered her a WOG, i guess Wogs were how they categorized the Greek and Lebanese down there and the white aussies of brit descent had negative stereotypes for them, basically they were the ones that all showed up at Marvel Stadium for that first Haney vs Kambosos fight last yr. Thats how i knew about how big the Greek community in Melbourne was. But yea in terms of the diversity back then you had Polynesians like Samoans, Tongans, Maori, Asians like Chinese and Indians, Greeks and Lebanese. Super rare black folks back then but i heard theres been more Africans there lately. You had the majority white aussies of British Descent. Also small amount of the Aboriginals

WBA, WBO junior welterweight champion Kali Reis secures role in Season 4 of HBO's 'True Detective'

Kali Reis, the WBA and WBO junior welterweight champion, is again heading to Hollywood, cast as one of the leads in Season 4 of "True Detective" on HBO opposite two-time Best Actress Oscar-winner Jodie Foster.

The cable network announced the fourth season of the show, which will be officially called "True Detective: Night Country" and will be filmed in Iceland.

Reis will play Detective Evangeline Navarro alongside Foster's Detective Liz Danvers as they investigate the disappearance of six men in Ennis, Alaska.


This is another big role for Reis, who made her acting debut in the 2021 independent film "Catch the Fair One," a story she helped write and develop. "Catch the Fair One" won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, and Reis was nominated for Best Female Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards.

The 35-year-old Reis (19-7-1, 5 KOs) last fought Nov. 19, 2021, when she beat Jessica Camara by split decision to win the WBO title and retain the WBA title. Reis initially won the WBA title on Nov. 6, 2020, when she beat Kandi Wyatt by unanimous decision.

What's the cut gone be 60/40?

What's the cut gone be 60/40?

With Saudi u just don't know, I'm guessing they gave Fury an offer of 2 fights for big money with the first 1 being an easy one. I don't believe Arum at all saying that Fury will make $200mil+ from the Usyk fight. Likely $100mil+ for the 2 fights for him if i had to guess

nah Undisputed is the 2nd, the 1st easy 1 he's getting is vs Ngannou coming up in a month

Watched Wallin win via SD vs Gassiev, should've been UD easily with 1 judge having a horrible score

Opetaia also busted up Thompson and stopped him in the 4th

Opetaia is a southpaw with elite counterpunching skills, movement, with punching power He's gonna be a problem at the Cruiserweight division for years to come. Could see him become Undisputed

Was Wallin a DAZN card?

I didn't see it in my list today, I would have liked to see it.

I knew Opetaia would beat his ass. Thompson is a bum. He almost lost me $1200 one time, glad the judge didn’t stop the fight when he should have.

Nah Salita staged it in Antalya at some resort that he found a site fee from but couldn't secure a U.S broadcast, i had to stream it from a Russian site, my bad i forgot to hit you in the pm with that, i'll try to remember to always hit you next time since you're like me where you actually watch a lot of the European scene as well

Opetaia def showed today Thompson wasn't near ready for this level yet but Hearn just got him this shot from Opetaia signing with him. Thompson 6'6-6'7 but no ability to utilize that reach, you can tell he started boxing late pivoting over from Tennis

Showtime undercard is nice

Frank Sanchez got rocked

After Sanchez beat Ajagba his career has only gone backwards fighting on this part of the card with an empty arena and i know his real age is 41 not that cuban age of 31. Zhang is 40 but at least he finally on the big stage now, Sanchez better tell his management to get him something soon

Wait, Sanchez lost?

Nah but he had a scare vs a much lesser opp on the untelevised portion of the ppv when hardly anybody was in the arena yet

WON reporting the early TV PPV numbers for #CaneloCharlo is 220K. TV is usually about 30% of the total these days which would put it around 725K.

I am thinking about putting a couple racks on Leigh Wood though.

I thought you were in Europe. Way off.

 

[HeathCliff]

I was a big ‘Mick’ Conley fan and Leigh Woods took my money that night. And the way he came back and stopped Mauricio Lara after getting KO’d in the first fight was impressive to me. You can’t go against a man with that type of championship metal.
