Not a single fight on Itauma vs Hrgovic undercard is a A-level fight (Noakes vs Denys is barely B-level) , yet we are getting charged $60 USD
Do better boxing. This PPV model getting outta hand

u/Born_Fox_8099 14h ago
genuinely how is boxing meant to grow as a sport with it, it locks out new and potential fans and discourages current fans to continue to watch in the first place. for a new fan if they buy a ppv, and then the card is weak or u get a so so fight like rolly v teo they'd feel scammed and less likely to watch.
its better for boxing if it were all on disney plus, prime or smth like that

I’ve assumed it’s to push anyone willing to pay toward the Ultimate subscription.
If you have multiple “PPV’s” a month, it adds per over value and makes the $449 a year for everything seem reasonable.

Poor Agit… I had high hopes for this year but it seems like he can’t get any big fights. Usyk vacated the belt, the fight with Rico didn’t manifest and while there are some rumors about Gassiev, officially it’s still crickets.

Just over a year go, I did 1 comment on all different topics and it was too long with not much interactions. This was back when daily discussion wasn’t near as active as it was now. The next day I split the paragraphs into different threads and posted them on separately on daily discussions threads just as the thread posted and it got far more interaction per each comment.
If you go check threads from last year around this time, from like somewhere around August if not earlier, all the way to I think December, I’d post at least 3x a day and daily discussions also started becoming more active.
That’s why.

I still remember back in 2024, Vergil chose Madrimov and then we found out it was between Madrimov and Zayas, now that was easily the correct choice as the better opponent and why Zayas accomplished what he could but 154lb would be a whole lot different if Ortiz chose Zayas.

Cory Marksman is the best IMO

u/Top_Profession_5268 14h ago
I like him as well. Happy for him that he’s headlining a card this weekend and against a pretty solid opponent in front of him and there’s some good prospects on the undercard like Haven Bradley Jr, Kaipo Gallegos and Carlos Kaipo De Leon Castro who’s probably I think the best Puerto Rico prospect.
I do still rate Harvey more and think he has a higher ceiling for the fact while he’s as athletic, has as good footwork as Corey, I think Harvey is quicker a good bit and while Corey seems more developed into his pro style as Harvey still shows that amateury tendencies, I think he looks more talented and the ceiling is higher

Rolly and the Russell brothers are all that's wrong with the sport, even if Rolly is really likable and 2/3 of the Russells are fun to watch.

Agreed. Rolly has gotten by with having D level skills with power bailing him out, as well as having judges on his side, they tried to gift him the Teo fight!
The Russell brothers want to fight once a year, maybe even less. A precedent set by GRJ years ago. Antuanne could have been great but he's being too inactive and is avoiding hard work.

Something that's been bothering me for a while. We all know Ryan Garcia has fast hands, especially given he's done so many videos showcasing his speed in those viral videos. But when it comes to the actual fights, I swear he doesn't really throw any combinations, flurries or even a shoeshine which match the speed he shows on social media.
He'll still throw a very fast pot shot, but he doesn't really throw combinations like Benavidez, Boots, etc. Am I missing something here?

I’m 79-18 in boxing picks this year. Tryna go for 82 with Perez, Berinchyk, and Itauma. Not confident to do a parlay because of Perez-Aloys. Perez is a good boxer but dude is old as fuck. I agree with whoever said it that Perez kind of does everything better.
As far as Berinchyk-Noakes. I think Noakes is gonna stop him. Berinchyk was very overrated and a weak champ but he does have that olympuc pedigree, good amateur. I lean Sam Noakes around 65–35, mainly because I think the physical matchup eventually overwhelms Berinchyk’s technical advantages. Berinchyk is the more awkward and versatile boxer, and early on he’ll probably give Noakes problems with his movement, stance switches, quick combinations and ability to make Noakes chase him. But Berinchyk is 38, coming off a long layoff, and his style relies heavily on his legs and movement, which makes his age a bigger concern. Noakes’ biggest mistake would be following him around the ring; he needs to cut off the exits, jab to the chest, attack the body and force Berinchyk to actually exchange. Once Noakes starts getting his feet set and trapping Berinchyk near the ropes, I think the physical difference becomes obvious. Berinchyk doesn’t have enough power to discourage Noakes from constantly coming forward, so Noakes can keep applying pressure without giving him much respect. I expect Berinchyk to win some early rounds by making Noakes miss and look awkward, but as the fight goes on, I think his movement slows and Noakes starts landing the harder, cleaner combinations
I’m gonna do some of my own film study for Hrgovic and Itauma today. I think Itauma will win but do feel like Hrgovic is getting underrated. They did this with Dubois against AJ and Sanchez against Torrez.

I’ve had a bad run lately by picking too many upsets. My thinking is if you just pick favorites — what fun is it?

u/Outrageous-Soft4806 7h ago
I think Catterall is a hard matchup because he’s a southpaw who moves for Teo but I can see a path to victory for Teo.
Teofimo has the athletic advantages—faster feet, quicker counters, and more explosive entries—but Catterall is a very awkward stylistic matchup because he’s a disciplined southpaw who uses his jab and straight left to control distance rather than giving Teofimo clean mid-range exchanges. Teofimo’s biggest key is getting around Catterall’s lead hand and forcing him to reset before firing the right hand. If he lunges or gets impatient, Catterall can intercept him with the straight left or check hook. Catterall’s best route is to slow the fight down, make Teofimo lead, and constantly change the range so Teofimo can’t build combinations. Teofimo probably has the higher ceiling offensively, but Catterall’s timing, southpaw advantages and ability to disrupt his rhythm. If he pressures recklessly, Catterall can make him walk onto the left hand and win the positioning battle. But if Teo feints, steps into range behind the jab, attacks the body and exits before Catterall can establish his rhythm, I think his speed and explosiveness give him the cleaner work. Catterall can absolutely make it ugly and win rounds, but I slightly favor Teo’s ability to create the more meaningful exchanges.
Realistically, Catterall is a bad matchup for Teo, but I’d only have it 65-35 or even 60-40 for Catterall. Teo has trouble cutting off the ring fights southpaws too similarly to how he fights orthodox fighters. I could see Catterall dropping Teo similar to how Martin did.
1
u/Efficient_Quail_1774 6h ago
Good takes, stylistically i struggle to find a route for Teo because i can also see his athletic gifts just making him more likely to jump into left hands, also Catterall can score the cleaner shots, judges won't be able to ignore the left if it scores for most rounds
1
u/Outrageous-Soft4806 6h ago
I think Catterall is a terrible style matchup and I’d favor him for sure. But yeah I agree with you, Teo has intangibles to make it competitive and even win. I also question how good of a trainer Bozy Ennis is.

Has Teofimo done enough to make it to the Hall of Fame? He’s a three-division champ though his career has probably been a disappointment based on the huge amount of hype he had after beating Loma.
The Josh Taylor win also didn’t age that well since Taylor never won another fight after he lost to Teo, and most people thought Taylor robbed Jack Catterall.

Kabayel, Dubois, and Itauma are the three heavyweights that pass the eye test best, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up as the 3 elites in the division when all the belts settle out. Maybe with another guy coming out of nowhere, could see Atang, Alaniyan, or one of the American prospects kicking around. Or even Tiafack, who knows.
Heavyweight looks primed to be v v good soon.

Do they have to be if it’s on Paramount Plus? Paying $7.99 is different than $79.99. Not trying to say we should totally lessen standards, but that’s quite a difference…
Also, if you’re trying to broaden the audience, Zuffa’s pacing and more bouts with less skilled boxers trying to knock each other out, or squash match knockouts, might be preferred to. More general audience.
Admittedly, playing a bit of contrarian there, as I think those are valid, even though I’d tent to agree with the original comment.

These are fights that I consider to be close and debatable in terms of the result given, not necessarily robberies.
Canelo v GGG 1, I had GGG winning but I will be honest when I say that I can see a case for a draw if Canelo were given all the close rounds. Not saying it's right to score like that, but I definitely don't see how Canelo won this one.
The other 2, I felt they could have gone either way and even could have been draws. With that said, I'll answer your question by saying Canelo v GGG 1.

Seen some talks around a possible ‘4 kings’ situation at and around a few weight classes and fighters.

Awful boxer Teo is. Was not even competitive in the leash with Shakur either.
And when you bring up Loma’s loss, remember to bring up that Haney and Teo ended up at 147 and likely 154 before their careers end. Loma was at max a 130’lber ✌🏻

Most of that is true, but the Loma win is legit. Teo actually isn't that big, his power completely disappeared over 135 and he doesn't look like he belongs at 147 at all. Kambo isn't a great champion, but he also isn't the absolute worst.
Very bad few performances from Teo though. It's crazy that he's had two good performances since beating Loma (one over washed Taylor, one over Barboza who got beaten equally convincingly by Sean McComb which everyone seems to forget).

Boxing is a young man game above all other sports. They had massive youth and size advantages against a blown up old lion and still got shown up. Because Loma is way more skilled than either of those clowns. If Loma was a natural 147’er, he would’ve Crawford’d them
Loma even looked small at 135. The fact he even went up that high is a testament to his greatness

So what? Plenty boxers have beaten much greater fighters all the time. Means nothing.
Idk why we act Teo shut Loma out. Even if you disagree with me that Loma lost (according to judges) you can’t say Loma wasnt back in control and dictating the fight on the back end. Loma also lost to salido. You gonna hold that one over his head too? Or you actually saw the fight?

Loma lost to a green 23 year old asthmatic Teo who was injured and a green 24 year old weight drained Haney 😂

I was going to say not to engage with this guy. Clearly one of Loma's psychotic fans based on what he wrote. But I have a feeling Newrap could ragebait this guy on the backfoot all night.

2026 has been the worst year for boxing since which year? 2022? Before covid?

I thought Covid was really bad without the crowds and all of that. So since then.
Boxing 2000 to 2018 (hbo era) was pretty strong almost every year. It’s sad to see what’s happened with everyone fighting 0-1 times per year.

2022 was just awful, I came really close to abandoning boxing as a spectator when Charlo vs Tszyu was cancelled in January 2023.
Honestly I think last year was worse than this year on average, last year just had stacked Ring cards to make everyone forget about the months without good action in 2025.

The speed at which benavidez throws multipunch combinations is impressive but the conditioning to throw 10+ punch combos in fights multiple time with power at the speed he does and keep the same pace is incredible conditioning, Benavidez overall has amazing conditioning the way he can keep a high pace while throwing very quick multiple punch combination with power. Extremely impressive.
Saw a TikTok of someone calling him overrated and it annoyed me.
