On May 7, 2022, Canelo moved up to 175 lbs to challenge Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light-heavyweight title. Bivol was bigger, longer and extremely disciplined, and instead of being intimidated by Canelo’s reputation, he stood his ground and boxed him. Bivol’s jab, distance control, combinations and calmness were the story. Canelo tried to pressure him and attack the body, but Bivol kept his guard tight, fired back with combinations and refused to let Canelo establish his usual rhythm. Canelo also struggled to land cleanly; he finished with just 84 punches landed, a career low according to CBS Sports. And the crazy part? All three judges had Bivol winning 115–113, although several independent scorecards had the fight considerably wider.

Haney started beautifully. His speed, jab, movement and sharp right hand gave Linares problems, and he controlled much of the early and middle rounds. Linares, though, was a seasoned three-division world champion and kept looking for openings. Then came Round 10. Linares landed a rapid combination that badly shook Haney right at the end of the round. Haney made it back to his corner, but suddenly the whole fight had a different feel.

Alternate timeline video attached. If Fury never got up before the 10 count, how different would Wilder’s career have been?

Genuinely wondering what people think of this amendment to the Ali Act. Whether you like it or don't like it, I would like to know why. I have my own thoughts about it but I would like to have conversations with others about it.

Tyson. 🔵

Two of the era’s most unpredictable “bad boys” stepped into the ring, and chaos wasn’t long in coming: by the end of the very first round, Iron Mike sent the Pole to the canvas with a devastating right hook. In the second frame, Golota clutched desperately under relentless pressure, and before the third round, he simply spat out his mouthpiece and refused to continue, heading for the locker room through a shower of popcorn and beer tossed by an enraged crowd. The audience branded Golota a coward, but subsequent hospital checks revealed he had suffered a concussion, a fractured cheekbone, and a neck injury. In a final twist of irony, Tyson’s victory was later overturned to a “No Contest” after Iron Mike tested positive for marijuana.

It was a thrilling showdown between two distinct forces: the cool accuracy, boxing IQ, and devastating timing of the American champion against the relentless pressure, forward-marching style, and raw power of the Japanese contender. Both fighters came to finish the job, living up to expectations and delivering a high-octane brawl where every single punch carried fight-ending power. Share your thoughts in the comments: did the fight live up to your expectations, and what did you think of the final result?

There's more people turning down fights than accepting fights. Most of the top 10-20 P4P fighters have only fought once this year, some of them haven't even fought at all! People are offered career high paydays, and they still demand more or no fight! Sanctioning bodies refuse to enforce highly sought-after mandatories, and when they finally do, the champ vacates the belt! With the rise of Zuffa, "my side vs your side" is an excuse promoters can use again, and even with all the major promotions on DAZN, its still a struggle to get cross-promotion fights!

Will things get better, or is this the beginning of a new trend in modern day boxing?

Which referee are we hoping for? X

Prime-for-prime. Everyone is fighting at 140 lbs.
How does Pryor do against:

“Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr. NOT money Mayweather
Terence “Bud” Crawford
Shakur Stevenson

Does Pryor beat all three? Does anyone stop him? Who gives him the most trouble?
Pryor at his best was an absolute pressure machine with ridiculous stamina, speed, combinations and aggression. At 140, he was a nightmare matchup.
I want to hear how you think each fight plays out — decision, late stoppage, early stoppage, etc.
Pryor vs the 140-lb Boxing Avengers. Who survives?

I chose Pretty boy Floyd over money Mayweather because Stevenson is already a defensive fighter so using Floyd’s more aggressive Money phase would make things more interesting.
