I watched the Lomachenko v Commey fight last night, which was quite enjoyable. Loma is just a different level when on his game, but holy shit does Commey have a huge heart. He couldn’t touch Loma but still kept on coming at him. I’m surprised he was allowed to come out after the seventh, but all his strength did seem to return in his legs.

Boxing is one of 3 sports that is currently on the cut list for the L.A. Olympics. Apparently the leadership is corrupt and drug problems.
Re: The Sweet Science
I love Boxing, but amateur boxing makes the pros look clean.

Re: The Sweet Science
That's too bad. The olympic boxing in Tokyo was excellent. It can't be more corrupt than in the 80s and 90s
Kung Fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene..

It was good at the last Olympics, but it's been a cesspit since Seoul.degenerasian wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 8:42 pm That's too bad. The olympic boxing in Tokyo was excellent. It can't be more corrupt than in the 80s and 90s

Re: The Sweet Science
Tyson Fury is unlike any fighter I have ever seen.
Flabby, ungainly and damn near unhittable. I pity the folks who paid $70 to watch what he just did to the "#1 Contender"

22 tons. Is that a lot? That seems like a lot.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: The Sweet Science
Seems like someone mentioned that when it happened. You can count the dead guys to know if its a lot.
Re: The Sweet Science
Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia sounds like it is going to be a good one. 136lbs, so light and fast...both are undefeated.
Garcia (23-0, 9 KOs) has made a career out of scoring spectacular KOs.
Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) has stopped 18 of his last 19 fights.

Re: The Sweet Science
Have a feeling Davis is going to win fairly handily. Garcia's not faced the same level of guys - seemed to be spoonfed by Golden Boy.
