The star of the match is Snoop Dogg's commentary.

If you get a chance to watch the Estrada-Chocolatito title unification match, do it.

The Paul vs Askren match is happening tonight at some point, but Triller is putting on a decent show in the meantime.

They just had Snoop, Ice Cube, Too Short, and E-40 perform (they're called Mount Westmore) and we just saw a slap boxing match between two mammoth dudes that was highlighted by Ric Flair's guest appearance and Pete Davidson introducing him.

This shit is hilarious and entertaining.

Oy vey.

At some point they'll probably play the race card in order to get more sales. Make it look like Mayweather gives a shit and get people buying to see Logan Paul get hurt.

I mean, how does Mayweather, even if he doesn't take it seriously, not destroy him? It looks like Paul has some power, but he's not getting that close to Mayweather, right?

Cotto, Alvarez, Pacquiao and many others never got close to him. The only reason Conor McGregor made it past the first round is that Mayweather was toying with him.

This guy Paul has only ever fought one guy who ever fought professionally, right? And, he’s going to take on Mayweather? Oy vey, indeed.

If Mayweather was legitimately trying he could very likely kill Logan Paul. I mean this in the literal sense.

Who's gonna sanction that? Nowhere near the same weight class or experience.

I know next to nothing about youtube personalities, but I gather that is how Logan Paul and Jake Paul got "famous"? Are they both taking up boxing? Based on previous posts, am I correct in understanding that Jake Paul was in the recent fight, but Logan Paul is the one that is supposedly going to fight Mayweather?

Askren was an MMA fighter and world class wrestler. He was no boxer. Askren’s MMA career is over and he probably needed the scratch so he let himself get KTFO.

Guy who was - apparently - last seen getting knocked out 2 years ago in 5 seconds.

Doesn't look like he trained too hard for the fight with Mr. Paul.

He was fighting Masvidal. Fight started, Masvidal charges in with a flying knee as Askren shoots for a take down, Askren eats knee and goes sleepy.

"Legalized bank robbery"

And that is as putrid an undercard as you'll ever see outside a midweek Dazn card.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 9:59 pm

Sooooo, this seems ridiculous.

"KOs Allowed"?

And next week brings the much anticipated Lamar Odom- Aaron Carter (briefly a teen pop star) bout on PPV.

Seems like it's set up to see how much Floyd is willing to put up with in exchange for his payoff.

Fuck, that match was lame as hell.

If Tyson was committed to actually doing damage unlike Nayweather just cashing a check, I would pay to watch this because Tyson might still legitimately be able to kill him.

Watched the first episode of the 4-part documentary series The Kings on Showtime, and it is outstanding.

I've reached the age where things that I can remember clearly are now a part of long-ago Sports history.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:18 pm

Lame. Can he fight an actual boxer now?

Why should he? The point of all this is to make money and he certainly seems to be checking that box (for both himself and his opponents).

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 1:17 pm

My comment is more in vain than anything. Of course he won't. Once he loses this gravy train stops.

Joshua-Usyk Heavyweight Title fight was amazing!

[+] spoiler: Shockingly, the judges got it right. Usyk fought an absolutely perfect fight.

Fury, Wilder Ready To Go

I'll be up late Saturday trying to find a free stream for the fight.

My money's on Fury.

You will have to deal with pop up ads to snipe when opening up, but they should have several streams going for the fight.

Fury-Wilder 3 was fantastic!

Gotta say it - Fury is right up there with the best since Ali.

In my opinion, Tyson is vastly overrated. No wins over any notable heavyweights.

I think Fury's up there with Lewis. He is definitely a unique fighter. Biggest I've ever seen, and he can fight defensively as well. Wilder had a long time to figure out a plan B and he just couldn't do it.

Tyson Fury is a seriously good heavyweight and in my opinion, right up there with the best I have seen in my lifetime (so Larry Holmes onward).

It is really easy to miss just how special he is because of how big he is. He is incredibly light on his feet, has great balance, counter punches fantastically, uses his height-weight advantages more effectively most boxers I can think of, has a great chin, loads of courage and is a really technically able and intelligent boxer.

The one thing that really stands out for me though, is how able he is to stick to a game-plan, while at the same time wind up his opponent with his great reflexes. It is pretty hard to be a ghost when you are 6 feet 9 and 19 stone, but he is able to lean back/step back to avoid punches with the best of them.

I love him, especially as he is so self-deprecating.

If you have time, you should visit youtube and see some of the stuff that Fury's father uploads...

Head and shoulders above all the big names since Lewis. Pretty sure he'd have easily beaten the Klitschkos.

Hopefully Usyk beats Joshua again and unifies with Fury. He may be a hell of a lot smaller than Fury, but he is slippery enough to make it a great fight.

Jake Paul/Fury confirmed.

Tommy Fury. Tyson's half brother.

pruitt2 · Post by **pruitt2** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 7:07 pm

My money's on Fury - after all he's got a 7-0 record.

(Against fighters with a combined 18-175 record.)
