Boxing The General Boxing Discussion Thread

How many of these deserve to be PPV in this threads opinions?

Mayweather v Paul probably, that's about it, and the people buying that won't be boxing fans.

Still pretty happy about the boxing on tomorrow night, hoping it continues the trend of good local cards. Huni must feel the pressure, having fights already booked after this one would be a great motivator for his opponent.

Donaire v Oubaali is on regular fox sports/kayo so you're fine there

I feel Tim's exhausted his domestic PPV options. I'm over seeing him at this level so don't want to be paying for it
Huni/Gallen will depend a bit on undercard, similar with Lopez/Kambosos

The thing that annoys me with Teo/Kambosos is Teo/Loma was on ESPN yet somehow this fight commands $60? Just don't see it

None of these fights are 'blockbusters' worthy of PPV but we're so conditioned to accept it. All that said, I'll probably cave and get the Teo/Huni fights. Tim will depend on that particular nights plans. I think, like you, I'll end up paying for a chunk of this even though it isn't 'worth it'. Doesn't help solve the ridiculousness of PPV doing that though does it haha

It's an absolute rort.

I stream all of Tzsyu's fights from a Russian broadcaster. I am not paying to watch him take the piss out of Zerafa. Once he starts fighting the top end I will happily pay good money to see it. But for now, I will cop the Russian commentary.

You know you're a real fight fan when you watch a broadcast in another language, we've all done it I'm sure ha ha

Love my Wednesday night fights, couple of quiet beers, great way to do hump day

Lucas Browne has a fight in Dubai in July. Christ knows how he conned a promoter into another (i assume) paid fight. Baffling to me

Good stuff tonight with Hardman and Huni. Hopefully i'm home in time for both those, haven't checked what else is on the undercard

Time for hardman to take a step up

Zerafa makes sense if he loses to Tim Tszyu, they're both good talkers so could make a great co-main to something

 

[JB1975]

Do people see Hardman as a decent prospect?

Impresses me less each time I see him. Seems very straightforward and a bit sluggish.

He has skills and is a good talker but fighting a bloke who’s off a 2 year lay off does absolutely nothing

I’ve only seen him fight twice and he’s looked good but then he hasn’t fought much

Don’t think he’s lost in either mma or boxing but it’s time for a step up for sure

Thought he really struggled against Tej Singh.

He's got time, but I've got a feeling that his ceiling isn't that high.

I guess he got paid and a good workout during his training camp. But your point is fair, this bloke was also a light heavy who came down to super middle, makes it even harder.

Hardman looked slightly pudgy, well pudgy is not the right word, maybe not as ripped, I guess at super middle there was no issue with weight etc, another reason he could take the fight.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Huni’s got that jay leno chin

I feel like he had the wrong plan that night, not sure why he tried to fight him in close. I feel like Singh has a style that might make most look average, I guess we'll see how good Hardman ends up.

Real triangle nose too

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Huni not even bothering to block this blokes punches still not the smartest to keep your hands down and eat unnecessary shots

 

[estibador]

That was a good first round. Tsoye taking it up to him, good to see.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Would be a fiend on the nose beers

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Huni throws some nice rips to the body always a good thing

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

This ted bloke talking truth justis needs to learn to utilise the jab more often especially when he takes the next step up

 

[Dale_Thomas]

Yeah I'd like to see a bit more action from him. Jab and movement.

 

[estibador]

Huni really starting to wear him down now.

Tim's first big fight overseas will be worth buying

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Glorified sparring session that.

I thought Singh won that decision tbh. Hardman isnt a blue chip prospect imo, we have better but he can have fun fights

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Felt like a glorified gym workout never once tried to knock him out

Assuming they wanted 10 rounds of cardio
