A lot of people online are wondering about that (Crawford not bringing up Spence) but if I’m not mistaken, Canelo had already alluded to him (Spence) and told Crawford beforehand, “You’ve only had one big fight. Other than that, name 1 elite fighter.”

I could be...

This whole Crawford-Canelo thing is a win-win for Turki. If Crawford wins, Crawford WILL fight again, it’ll just be a matter of who.

If Canelo wins, you can bet your ass Turki is going to call Canelo’s bluff and give him the ludicrous amount of money he’d ask for for a...

LMAO

Lampley: “And now the pre-fight pageantries are about to begin, but before they do…Larry, your thoughts on the main event tonight between Canelo and Crawford.”

I wrote this either yesterday and who shows up announced as one of the guys from the broadcast team for this fight? Max Kellerman…

I feel like the Robin Williams Jumanji meme is appropriate here: “WHAT YEAR IS IT?!”

This is perfect. If Dana White is at the...

Len Blavatnik. That’s the name. Blavatnik is the billionaire investor who breathed life into DAZN and essentially was keeping it alive until Turki showed up and now it’s essentially a Saudi General Entertainment Authority vehicle.

Good for boxing fans but the more I read on...

I attribute that more to Canelo’s opponent than Canelo himself. When the casual fan calls Mayweather a “runner”, this is what they think of. Yet he was never like that. Even Ivan Calderon (who was a frequent mover) stood and landed really eye catching shots when he was fighting back...

I think Shawn Porter was both of those things. He wasn’t uber elite, but he wasn’t a stepping stone either. Every fight he was in he gave 110%.

You can certainly build the case of Spence being, not mediocre, but inactive and damaged. Regardless, I don’t think it’s...

That’s true. Off the top of my head:

Trinidad/De La Hoya
Jones/Toney
Mayweather/De La Hoya
Mayweather/Pacquiao
Tyson/Paul didn’t do boxing any favors, though anybody who’s been around boxing knew this was going to be one-sided from the start....

I enjoyed it. Very cordial for the most part but I like the little jabs from Bud and Nelo.

I kind of roll my eyes whenever I see Ring Magazine owner Rick Reeno. He looks like a parking lot owner, dressed either as a golfer (like last night) or like a RUN DMC reject, who’s so unnecessarily...
