[Boxing]: Info and Prediction Thread

[notblox1]

Is it a sign that Ngannou doesn't have high hopes for his boxing career - I don't know. But apparently, his PFL contract doesn't prevent him from competing in boxing. So maybe he intends to compete in both sports simultaneously, or maybe his return to MMA is contingent on the result of his fight against AJ.

There is nobody else who can do what Ngannou is doing, and he deserves to be respected for this.
Boxers are never going make adventure for less money in MMA, and other MMA fighters are not attractive for boxing champions.
I want to see Jon Jones in boxing, this could be dream supefight that never happened in MMA, but Dana wont allow him to do that

This youtube channel just showed on my feed
ProBoxTV: 

It's live streaming what looks like fights of up and coming boxers. I've only watched 2 matches (8-rounder and 10-rounder) so far and I can say that the card is quite good. One fight was only spoiled by one of the judges scoring 98-91 to a closely contested bout.

Yeah, right, looks like they are up and coming boxers and to be honest it's the first time i saw the names of those boxers and not seen any of them in a live fight.

About your rant of the judges scores, it always happens in boxing where the judges score a one-sided fight when we thought it was close, part of boxing politics.

I think it's normal for Zed0X to feel disappointed with the jury's assessment, which makes him a bit angry and makes him say harsh words. The jury sometimes plays political money games given by several groups. The next judge is the boxer's strength. to challenge the jury's decision.

From other threads I thought you wanted to see Ngannou fighting Jones in an MMA fight. Matching them up for a boxing bout would be a bizarre move (and extremely unlikely). They both are complete fighters reaching the top, so why would they limit themselves to just one element of their game? What would that prove anyway? That would not confirm who's a better fighter overall, we could as well set them up for a power slap competition.

Have you guys seen this small but cool retro boxing video game Knockout Chaos?
You can choose to select one fighter Joshua or Ngannou and try to win in the fight.
This is cool way to promote this fight and it is free:

Yes, seen this links for the other forum, it's old school kind of games and I do agree that it's way cooler to see this kind of promotions and it's brilliant to the people who think of it.

As for Canelo and who is he fighting, it could really be Berlanga. David Benavidez name is out of the picture, as Canelo is really avoiding him at this point and choosing easy opponents for this supposedly "legacy". So for me there is no legacy and obviously, Canelo is looking for easy pacheck, like in his last two fights of John Ryder and Charlo.

Wow, cherry-picking at its best if indeed Canelo's next opponent is Berlanga as this boxer has not proven anything yet in this sweet science and to think that his last few performances were not impressive, how come they decided to bring him up as Canelo's next opponent, boxing politics again hehe.

I had a go and managed to beat up Ngannou on the 2nd attempt.



That's an interesting way of promoting a fight, I don't think anyone has done it in the past. They could have done a little better with playability, i.e. add body shots etc.

Only two days to go and not much has changed in terms of odds, AJ is still the favourite at x1.27, and betting on Francis you can get x3.75 which is not that much really considering it's only his 2nd boxing fight.

Link to the press conference:

Shorter version:

^^ Yes saw the final press conference.

Ngannou is straight up gangsta when he talk to Fury and says that boxing rule protected him and that he will beat him twice in Sunday, hehehehe
Everyone for sure is very excited, just a couple of days from now and we will see it. There are group of boxing fans that think that Ngannou will have a great chance to knockout out Joshua if he can land that trade mark power of him.

Report says that Canelo will be fighting Jaime Munguia next,

https://boxing-social.com/news/canelo-alvarez-jaime-munguia-two-networks/

And so two networks are going to cover this fight, and the last time we heard, this is the only issues that needs to be settled. I think this is still a easy fight for Canelo, no doubt that Munguia could be one of the best in the 168 lbs, but he is still too young to fight Canelo as this point of his career.

Although we have seen Canelo taking less risk in this career and this is another proof of it.

Thanks for the mentioned mate, (+1 for you)

Yes, this fight is near now, the last press conference is done.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFx55fdyY8I

Both are in great shapes, and you can hear a lot of fans of both sides in attendance. For sure boxing fans are very excited to see this fight in the next 24 hours.

Ngannou 272.6 lbs
Joshua 252.4 lbs

That's a huge difference in weight, and I think it will play a big role in this fight.

I want odds to drop more on Joshua so that I could take a bet on Ngannou with better odds.
Joshua doesnt look confident to me and I think he is a little concerned about this fight, defeat against Ngannou can ruin his carrier and shake up the boxing world.
Maybe this would be good for both sports and I know Dana White hate to see Ngannou win

Short video from official weight-ins and the face-off:

i=LU5LGwkRUBVHT7IG

Ngannou weighed 272.6 pounds (123.6 kg), while Joshua was 252.4 pounds (114.5 kg) (as Jating has already mentioned above). Francis is noticeably heavier, but that's not a very significant advantage for a heavyweight fight. His weight is almost the same as in the fight with Fury.
AJ has some height advantage, but Ngannou has already proven he knows how to deal with that.

One more news: apparently Jake Paul (wannabe boxer slash youtuber) will be fighting Mike Tyson on 20th July.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/68504821

Tyson will be 58 at the date of the fight, Paul is 31 years younger than him (27 y.o). That's a huge age gap (possibly the biggest in boxing history?).
I am not surprised that Mike agreed to the fight, and from Paul's perspective that's also a good choice, as the fight is easy to hype, and if manages to avoid a KO by Tyson, he could then spin it as his success.

Any thoughts on that fight?
