- Thread starter FJP
- Start date
Charlo eyes look off to me ....this should be a safe fight barring a complete mental breakdown....Jose is a one legged fighter coming up in weight...should be easy work but I don't like how Mall looks man...he did look a little like himself at one point but for the most part looks like he should be in therapy
RJJ is a good guy but he needs to start picking his fighters better before he gets a rep as a bad trainer...still going with Charlo barring something extraordinary but his eyes look off enough to where I wonder if the extraordinary can happen
As for the main event, that is very interesting...does Andrade still have it after basically not testing himself against the best (for whatever reason) for his entire boxing career?...we know Benavidez will bring it...I also get the vibe that a loss wouldnt devastate Andrade the way it would the much younger Benavidez...but stylistically the fight really favors Andrade....Benavidez aggressive nature plays into his style...but can he handle the pressure at his age and after a career of relative coasting against a larger foe?....styles make fights but I am going with Benavidez as I think his level is higher than Andrade's right now and this level with allow him to overcome stylistic disadvantages...this is not a confident pick by any means though and is based more on a feeling and a vibe...if Andrade somehow looks laser focused in an interview I might change my pick
Yea most folks are thinking Benavidez is just going to run over Andrade but i think its a 50/50 fight or close to it. I think Andrade wins 1st half of the fight and it'll just depend on if he has the gas tank and discipline to not let Benavidez break him down the 2nd half
Andrade tends to fade late in the fight while Benavidez tends to be surging at that point...I wouldnt be suprised if Andrade makes him look stupid in the first half...just feel like its too little too late for Andrade
Aye yooooooooo.
I just realized Shakur will be fighting next Thursday night. Not Saturday

Yeah its F1 grand prix weekend so Arum wanted to attach the fight to it
It’s official and fucked up
As many fighters Spence ducked they never stripped him
Also bud and Spence has a rematch clause
Who did Spence duck? Serious question, asking for the knowledge.
Crawford fans think he ducked him for years...Spence said he was gonna unify the titles by making the fights on his side of the street first since they were easier to make...during that time he had the car crash and the eye injury which delayed shit....in the end Spence did exactly what he said he would do...Crawford himself said the fight couldnt have been made without Spence...Spence forced the fight against the advice of his management who felt he was at the weight too long
I don't think Spence ducked shit
He had mandatories that he avoided
Hayman played a big part in that by having him fight other fighters
The last mandatory he fought was ocampo in 2018
Its not a duck if you choose to unify the titles against other champions rather than fight the various mandatories...only dude he fought who wasn't a champion was Danny Garcia and that was a very quality opponent to fight after the crash
I do not agree with Crawford being stripped though especially with the PBC situation and the Spence rematch still being worked out...Crawford didnt even get a chance to breathe before they took the belt from him....he is probably moving up to 154 any way so it is what it is

Umm...that's not true. Danny Garcia was a mandatory.
If I remember correctly Garcia moved up in weight how would he be a mandatory
Danny Garcia. Not Mikey Garcia
lol I definitely mixed the two upDanny Garcia. Not Mikey Garcia
And so it begins 
I don't think Riyadh will be the new #1 boxing market but it's looking like it may be the #1 market for the bigger name HW boxers
Can't blame the bo
Can't blame the boxers it's more money but that shit sucks
I watched most of the card.
Good undercard. Ruddocks son fought and his daughter was one of the promoters ..she fine too.
Beenie Man gave a great concert!
The Jamaican host was hilarious and should replace David Diamante.
I'm sure the afterparty will be legendary.
The fight looked like trash but still was entertaining!
They're talking about Makhmudov vs Kabayel
wow Kownacki boxing again March 2nd in Poland, i think he should just cross over to MMA with KSW out there like Szpilka and Glowacki have
