Fury Loses in Winning

A funny thing happened in Saudi Arabia this past weekend as Tyson Fury engaged with Francis Ngannou in what was supposed to be a relatively easy -- and lucrative -- night at the office for the WBC heavyweight champion. In the words of Duke to Apollo Creed during his first bout against Rocky --...

I'm now expecting a surgical performance from Usyk when these two meet. (If Fury does just retire which he might do now)

Look out for Muratalla

During Saturday nights broadcast on ESPN+, Tim Bradley, mentioned that Raymond Muratalla would beat Keyshawn Davis. OK, does Bradley have something against Davis? The reality is that Muratalla is far beyond facing a prospect, no matter how talented. This guy is ready for the elite at 135. He...

Champion in Perpetuity Absence

The last time Jermall Charlo defended his WBC middleweight title was on July 19, 2021, where he took care of the pesky Juan Montiel Macias in 12 rounds. From this point on he has been absent from the ring due to personal issues which have caused some mental duress -- and quite frankly, from...

Boom Boom's Path of Most Resistance

The term 'email champ' is the latest entry into the boxing vernacular that has become popular on social media. It refers to a boxer who gains a major world title by sanctioning body edict, and not by beating a particular champion inside the ring. The latest to gain that distinction, whether...

2 title fights tonight! Emanuel Navarette defends his title vs Robson Conceicao, and fighting for a vacant title we got Shakur Stevenson vs Edwin De Los Santos in the main event.

Navarrete vs Conceicao ended in a majority draw. I had Navarrete by 1 round but I’m ok with the draw. Great fight
 
Shakur being so hesitant to engage with someone who has power and speed is a huge red flag to me, this isn’t the first time he has done it

It makes me question if he will fully go all in in a big intense fight, i understand not wanting to get hit but this is just unacceptable.

If you’re in a dawg fight and need to drop yo nuts to win a round, how far are u willing to go? He has all the skills in the world but that margin will close once u keep fighting better competition

I forgot the fights were last night. ****! I’m not all that sold on Shakur. Personally, I haven’t seen him do anything yet that justifies the hype.

Interesting that my bar room brawler, The Cowboy, ended with a draw. What happened there?

That was a war, nav was getting hit alot but his power kept him in it. He hurt conceiao a few times and dropped him but overall I think conceiao outboxed him, he had nav unorthodox timing down very early. Nav closed alot better and I wouldn’t have been mad if they edged it to him but majority draw is more than fair, without the knockdowns he probably loses

And im high on shakur skillset but u are right, he hasn’t really faced someone as athletic as him with respectable power. Edwin looked way more twitchy than i thought so that plus his power surprised shakur imo and he looked very very hesitant on doing anything, like usually he counters but he didn’t..Even when edwin got undisciplined and lunged in Shakur just got out of the way or clinched. His jab won him the fight but man it was brutal watch especially with it being on a Thursday lol **** really tested my love for the sport lol. I think thru 6 rounds the total punches landed was 31-19 lmao bruh literally might be the most boring fight ever

Some boxing analysts say it was a bad style clash and I think I agree, I think whenever Shakur fights next time he will perform better.

Stevenson's Victory Lap

They say that sometimes the headlines write themselves. Well, this time the headline for this column was basically written by a Top Rank press release. In the wake of Shakur Stevenson's unsatisfying 12 round victory over Edwin De Los Santos in Las Vegas this past Thursday, this was sent out by...
