It's a real fucking shame that the biggest star in boxing is a fucking YouTuber. But Jake Paul, take a bow. You've almost single handedly brought boxing back to the masses. For better or for worse.
Not going to go into the farce of a fight. But Jesus H Christ someone put Oscar De Let Hoya in rehab.
Askren has really fucked up his legacy

Snoop Dogg and the guy from Saved by the bell commentating and a ref rapidly closing in on the century. Jesus Christ.....

@mikethesnow I don't think he cares at all. He made $500k for the fight and no doubt a lot more in promo work.

He cares
Came in to to the UFC as a title contender and got his career cancelled by Masvidal.
Won't fight again in boxing. This was a one and done because he was shit.
Big money, but his fighting career is over.
So where does he go from here?

Lucas Browne next on the Gallen hype train. Browne is a boxer. Not in the classical sense but he's an actual boxer. But I reckon he'll be taking it easy as hunt did. He's there for a payday that's about it. If Browne actually decides to fight then it could be a short night for Gallen. Not that Gallen isn't without ability. He's actually a pretty good bruising boxer. He to throws legit combos and has a bit of power.
But why the fuck is a half cut Paul fucking Kent part of the broadcast team. That fluffybunny can fuck right off.
-
@raznomore Wouldn't suprise me if Gallen got up tbh. Browne is beyond shot now where he can't take a punch anywhere these days. Hoping Browne gets up.

Canelo v BJS in a couple of weeks ,
And looks like Joshua v Fury in Saudi Arabia in July
-
@raznomore Haha the 2nd dive he's taken in his career now after his dive against Dave Allen.

Browne you're fucking disgrace. This is why boxing is fucked. He offered up his chin and went down initially to slapping punches. I know his chin is shit but that was weak rubbish and in my opinion an obvious dive.
Just rubbish
Nothing new though, while on the road I’ve been googling lots of stuff on the enigma that was Sonny Liston. A very interesting and strange life and I’m fucken positive he took a dive in the second Ali fight.
I also reckon that as his boxing skills faded with age the mob had no use for him and “whacked” him.

Joe looks in fantastic shape and seems really happy since hooking up with Andy Lee
-
@kiwiinmelb I'd like to see him use more power from his legs and look at employing a nice big hook up under the chin... A recent article by him on what Andy Lee got him to look at gave me the impression he was coasting with Barry. He also said he may have been overtraining.
I'd like to see him use his speed and combos and come in only when needed. His speed is surely an advantage, his punching power not so much. -
Chisora's camp saying they won't try and box. Just go hard and overpower Joe. Who knows if that is just pre-match talk or not.
Hope Joe puts some dancing feet on.
In his early days his hand speed looked to be his biggest asset. I don't know if he lost it or if it was trained out of him. -

I guess its what has made him popular in the UK , he is nothing special in reality , but always brings the aggression , and gets a bit of respect for that
I think Joe getting involved with the gypsy boys might just be a good thing to sharpen his skills , we find out i guess
