[Boxing]: Info and Prediction Thread

[bisdak40]

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?

At age 58, i don't think Mike Tyson could hurt Jake Paul even though he is just a wannabe boxer. But you are right, this fight is not hard to sell as people will not to see how Mike Tyson could perform in this stage of his life.

People are going to be excited hearing Mike Tyson going to fight again even it is just an exhibition match. I think Mike is still very active, we've seen him train Francis Ngannou against Tyson Fury.

And that famous defense of his, wobbling his head and the throwing that uppercut. Initial reports listed Jake Paul as the favorite, definitely he is the younger between the two the more active. But we all know that Tyson could still have that power behind his punch so we will see if that is true or not.

Most of the people that posted their comments in social media think that Jake Paul is in danger of this exhibition fight as Mike Tyson, though old but still got the power. IMHO, i don't think that could be the scenario as Jake Paul will be very mindful of Tyson's power so as much as he could, he will try to avoid Tyson's punches to touch him.

I created this thread to discuss everything about boxing, schedule fights, odds and prediction. Might be good to have just one thread in this community. It might not be very big as the other forum, but as we grow maybe this thread will also move as there could be a lot of boxing fans around this forum.

https://www.boxingscene.com/manny-pacquiao-vs-buakaw-banchamek-exhibition-fight-set-april-20--180341

A date has been set down for the exhibition fight between Manny Pacquiao and Buakaw Banchamek.

According to the Banchamek Gym Facebook page, the date of April 20 has been finalized. The event is being organized by Thailand’s Fresh Air Festival Co Ltd and cinema operator SF Corporation.

The bout will be fought under traditional boxing rules.

So we will have the legendary Manny Pacquiao against another legend in Buakaw scheduled for April 20 this year.

Obviously, Manny will have the advantage here as the rules will be boxing and we all know that Manny during his prime is one of the best and always in the discussion for the GOAT.

Any thoughts on this fight?

What are your prediction concerning the fights

[notblox1]

Ngannou vs Joshua fight is starting soon and I am hoping to see biggest surprise ever in boxing world.
I love the good underdog story and Ngannou looked better to me in all pre fight interviews and faceoffs.
Both fighters learned something from previous fights but I think Joshua has much more to lose.
I want to see Ngannou vs Fury rematch next and for that Ngannou needs to win today

Here is my bet for this fight: https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/65eb88aa582784001fd934ea

Good bet but for me if the fight goes the distance, AJ might win so for Ngannou to win he should be aggressive and knockout Joshua. AJ's confidence wasn't fully in him yet so a win by Ngannou is high at least for me.

Does the fight already started? I did not see the odds on sportsbet as of this writing.

edit: the fight already ended with AJ butally knocking out Francis.

Yes, what a devastating knockout by Joshua over Ngannou. We haven't thought that he could be as this dominated against a heavy puncher in Ngannou. But I guess Joshua's boxing experience and IQ are more evident in this fight as he didn't give any chance for Ngannou to make a comeback. But in second knockdown alone, you can see the demeanor of Francis has shifted and as if he knows that he is going to lose this fight. Similar to the looks of Manny Pacquiao when JMM knock him down surprisingly.

Good win by Joshua, now he sits and relaxes and for the outcome of Usyk vs Fury. Tyson is the favorite on that fight and so if that proves correct then we will see Joshua vs Fury next in Saudi Arabia again.

What a brutal KO win that was!
I thought Ngannou will decide to take a break from boxing after this fight, but in post fight press conference he said absolutely not, he plans to continue boxing 
Now we know that he can be defeated with a KO and everyone else will try to repeat the same when fighting against him.

If you didnt watch the full fight Ngannou vs Joshua it is enough to watch this few minute long highlights, but you can find full fight online:

Yes, majority could have been disappointed of the outcome as Francis is no match against AJ. I think he can go back to PFL or that was the agreement that's why he was allowed to go to pro-boxer.

It's good to hear that he has no plans to stop boxing. Maybe he just experience waking up in the wrong side of the bed. Or Joshua is really that good and his timing in this fight is impeccable.

Yeah, it's not that Francis is bad but Anthony Joshua was the better fighter that night and his timing was awesome. On the other hand, I think Francis Ngannou needs to fight B-level fighters before fighting a championship-caliber fighter like AJ or Fury.

I just wonder what's the odds of AJ winning by KO, have not browse the bookies lately for that fight.

[notblox1]

He learned a lot from Ngannou first fight against Tyson Fury so he was more careful and he was prepared with better tactics.
Ngannou rushed to much and he was over confident, that was the reason he finished on the ground so easy.
Good thing for Johsua is that he can now wait and prepare to face winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.

Yes, it's more on Joshua's preparation in this fight. Joshua uses his tools this night and not allow Ngannou anything. Even if Ngannou switches to south paw, still Joshua adjusted as well.

And for me this should stop any MMA/UFC fighters from fighting boxers. We've seen already what could have happen. MMA/UFC fighters should stay in their boundaries, just saying.

New boxing fight announced between two MMA fighters Jorge Masvid and Nate Diaz on June 1 in Los Angeles!
They already faced each other in UFC back in 2019 and I think Masvidal won with a KO, but it was a very bloody fight.

Jorge might still win again but this is boxing. not sure how prepare these guys are when it comes to the gloves they are used to.   it wasn't a close fight in their first encounter and masvidal obviously is in good shape still while diaz is way passed his prime this time. i doubt nate will win its amusing they call this a rematch but they are big personalities in MMA so there's got to be a big money to profit since there are still people interested to watch thats why the ppv price is $80?  fvckit.
