F--- boxing

One of the biggest fights of the year tonight: Ramirez-Taylor for unified junior welterweight title.

 

I've never seen Taylor so I'm really interested in this one.

Could the winner move up and challenge Crawford?.

 

Me neither. But I'm a die-hard Ramirez fanboi, so we shall see.

 

So Errol Spence Jr will fight Manny Pacquiao in July.

I'm starting to think that when Bud Crawford re-signed with Top Rank a year or two ago, he should have signed with the PBC instead.

 

But for the two knockdowns, it would have been a draw.

I'm surprised Ramirez didn't get stopped after the second one. He seemed a little too eager to go back after Taylor after each one.

 

Yeah, the knockdowns were the difference. Ramirez did not look like himself at all in the middle rounds. Both the punches by Taylor that floored him were solid. I think some of the prefight hijinks got to Ramirez.

 

Really intriguing fight over the first five rounds, that first knockdown changed everything. Taylor constantly found a home for his straight left and uppercut while Ramirez found a lot of success when he was coming forward and punching in combination, especially with his left to the body. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see a rematch.

 

Unfortunately Bud got suckered into thinking that Top Rank's deal with ESPN would help him in negotiations with PBC fighters, but ESPN has never been known as a place for top fights or a PPV carrier for top fights so PBC fighters have no reason to care about that. At least the potential fight with Taylor gives him something interesting. But with everything opening up and Vegas taking bookings again, Crawford has nothing that is going to move the needle.

 

Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul is Sunday. It's an exhibition. No official decision but there can be a knockout. Because Paul is 40 pounds heavier, some casuals think he has a "puncher's chance"

He doesn't. It's LeBron James playing 1-on-1 against a JV kid.

What I don't get is why so many boxing writers are taking this fight, and Jake Paul's fights, seriously.

 

Mayweather is going to literally kill Logan Paul tonight, right?

 

God willing.

 

No, he’ll take him the distance like he did McGregor. I like your scenario much better.
