Former President Donald Trump serves as guest commentator for Vitor Belfort vs. Evander Holyfield
Former President Donald Trump will crossover from politics to the fight game as he joins the upcoming Triller Fight Club broadcast to serve as a guest commentator for the upcoming event featuring Vitor Belfort against Evander Holyfield.
Why Evander, WHY ?
You are a fucken legend of the fight game, no good will come of this. Have some dignity.
Also they’re still calling him “President” Trump. Who writes this shit ?

That's the standard title. If anyone wants to comment on Trump/politics - do it in the US politics thread only.
Lets keep this thread on boxing

okay. Boxing is a joke and should just die off already. As with anything, greed killed it.

Just a passing comment, politics doesn’t interest me too much.
Evander must need the child support money, that’s the only reason I can see him doing this.

The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is almost the 25th anniversary of The Real Deal getting his ear bitten by Iron Mike which was itself a two-year anniversary of John Chompers Le Roux biting Fitzy’s ear and that was a decade after Evander fouled out of Los Angeles to Kevin Barry. He’s 58. Still a kid.

Almost 59 year old Holyfield TKOd in the first round while Donald Trump commentated.
What a sad state of affairs boxing is in right now.
Belfort looked powerful to be fair
Called out Jake Paul
Paul would do well to avoid Vitor
In the co-main, Anderson Silva sparked Tito Ortiz

Haven't seen it but does this delay future fights or get them moving? Things seemed to be in a real tangle there for a while.

Watched it ,
Magnificent from Usyk , very skilled fighter , undefeated , dominated the cruiser weight division before moving up , Olympic gold medalist , won gold in the same Olympics Joshua did in the division below,
I have to be honest I brought the hype a good big man will beat a good smaller man , but usyk was so slick , continuous movement , throwing from angles , 100 per ent skill set , AJ wasn’t horrible ,even if he is overhyped , just met a guy that had a plan to out point him and succeeded

That’s a bit of a recent myth that people buy into which is complete bullshit unless the big man is REALLY good. As one example Tyson Fury could not live with any of the top heavyweights of the 1970s ( Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Holmes, Shavers etc ) despite being so much taller and heavier than them.
Fury referred to Usyk as a nobody in the past, I bet you anything this recent fight will have changed his opinion.

Absolutely in lower divisions but heavyweight history is littered with examples of a guy who is merely “big” beating a massive guy. Dempsey beating Willard, Baer beating Carnera, Haye beating Valuev etc.

And fully deserved. Clever, skilful performance by Usyk last night against a much too passive Anthony Joshua. Usyk turned up in Tottenham in front of AJ's fans and gave him a masterclass.
Back to the drawing board for Joshua. He needs a new coaching team who will push him much harder and needs to get rid of the sycophants from his camp. Onwards and upwards for Usyk.
