His fights are blatantly rigged.

Opponents are getting paychecks they've never seen before. Anderson just stopped throwing punches at points. He was piecing him up when he was trying.

That's Anderson Silva though. We've seen it throughout his entire MMA career, there was no surprises what so ever from Silva last night. Paul did well to win that fight as he was breathing out of his ass in the 5th and it looked like Silva was controlling the pace.

I'm not sure about the complaint about about him needing to call out young and less experienced boxers. He tried to fight both Hasim and Fury which completely fits that bill and got let down on all occasions by them both. We all know he's not great but at this stage he's definitely done well and clearly worked his ass off to get to where he is so fair play to him. And like I said above, in fairness to him he's tried to fight boxers in Hasim JR and Fury and they both fecked it.
 
Jake Paul needs to fight a real boxer and not retired mma guys. I wish the Tommy Fury fight would happen…but then again not so sure about him either.
 
The footwork on show last night between Ortiz and Lomachenko :drool:

Very close fight, scorecards a bit wide for me.

Why? He’s getting all those guys paid while not doing anybody any harm
 
Why fight real boxers when he can get these names on his record and get more eyes on his fights and thus more money? I would do the same if I had the chance. Easier fights, more exposure and good money... Perfect combo.

He is doing the right thing from a promotional point of view as he is fighting some big names who are either not boxers (e.g. Askren), smaller than him or past their primes.

The issue is the guy seems like a bit of a prick and everyone wants to see him get knocked out so we are hoping he will eventually face a real boxer, in their prime and in the same weight class as him.

In terms of playing the heel, Jake Paul is doing the right thing by talking himself up as a great boxer and calling out people like Canelo. Let's hope someone can come alone and shut him up soon

Took some balls to actually grill Tyson. Good thing it wasn’t face to face though:lol:

Fair play to him - Tyson obviously has to try and sell the fight and argue his points but he's spot on, it's a completely pointless fight. It'll probably still sell out but hopefully the PPV does absolute shite.
 
AJ's interview with DAZN saying he needs to rest mentally and won't be fighting anyone in Dec probably puts rest to why the fight with Fury didn't materialise." “It just really tore me apart so, from a mental capacity, my close ones are telling me to rest, mentally". Sounds like maybe he wanted the fight but his people didn't. He does go on to say they will fight eventually, it would depend on they both fare over their coming fights. Fury v Uysk is now the next big fight, AJ needs to go and impress in his coming fights. Just seems destined to be a fight that never gets made.AJ still a big enough name that even a fight with say Wilder would make big money, not so sure he'd want that fight though.

Fury contradicts himself in this. Goes on about being the first to do 2 trilogies (he isn’t) and then says he doesn’t care about legacy. We all know it’s a quick pay day for his mate. Going to be an utterly pointless fight. Fury wins in about 7 rounds, talks more shit about AJ and retires again for the 20th time.

Probably comes back and faces Wilder again :rolleyes:
 
Just turned on my TV and I can see Barrera and Hatton fighting each other. Had to rub my eyes to check if it really said “Live” top right
 
Tommy Fury been making a tit of himself again over the last week or so. The guy and the family are a shambles at the minute.

What helped make it great (for Americans mostly) were that quite a few title matches would be on ABC's Wide World of Sports in the middle of the day. That alone helped made me a boxing fan of the 80s & 90s.

Free to air decent quality boxing, on during the day? Not familiar with this concept at all. I’m used to paying through the nose, staying up till 5am, only to see a shitfest where the better bloke gets robbed by the judges :lol:

Yep, bizarre right?
 
Picked up some tickets to Smith-Eubank Jnr after Christmas.

Hoping the undercard is good. Bit of a gamble but not been to the boxing in a while and it’s usually a fun night.
