When a fighter is hurt to the body and goes down he instinctively covers up the spot where the punch landed!!! The LAST thing a fighter does is open up his arms and expose his ribs! 🥸
Women NEED to fight 3 minute rounds!! These rounds go by too fast and there are too many close fights. That ONE minute would be the difference.

Remember when we thought Chavez Jr was nuts turning down a minimum of $7,000,000 to fight GGG?
Caleb Plant just topped it by turning away 10mil to face Canelo. 💸🤦🏻♂️
Sean O’Malley: “I wouldn’t mind knocking out Gervonta Davis and I know people are going to say I wanna be like Conor(McGregor). I’m telling you…that fight is going to happen.”

While escorting
@SugarRayLeonard
through airport, one TSA agent tells him: “Sir, I know who you are, but you still must take off shoes, hat, belt, etc.” I say, “Yeah, Ray! You’re human too.” Agent responds: “Not in the 80’s, he wasn’t.” 👏 👏 🥊
Every Mexican boxer that has EVER laced up a pair of gloves has made a ring walk to a

song. It’s a rite of passage for Mexican fighters. 🇲🇽🩸🥊

Tank, 27, is a BEAST & exciting to watch but his lack of top opposition is coming to light. At 23, Ryan Garcia’s record already outweighs Davis’. It’s not a good look when you got a kid chasing down a “Tank.”
Biggest fight of Kambosos career & he misses the weight!! Only missing by .36 of a pound means he’s already bone dry & struggling. This will have a big impact on confidence tomorrow.
Kovalev was a calculated risk for Canelo and Bivol was a dare to be great(er) challenge for the Mexican star... but ALL fighters have limits. 175lbs is no bueno for Canelo. ⚖️
I left a lot of money on the table calling it a day as a fighter, but I saved myself from being a highlight reel for some young gun. 😵🥊
I ain’t going OUT like that.

Watching that video of Loma cry in the locker room is everything pure and honest and beautiful about boxing. Those tears are raw, but unrewarded sacrifice being shed from a man who knows in his heart he did not lose the fight.

Major props to promoter extraordinaire
@EddieHearn
4 bringing Canelo over & providing the Mexican star w/huge stadiums to shine on!
@MatchroomBoxing
have brought that incredible stadium atmosphere from the 🇬🇧to the 🇺🇸 only instead of “Sweet Caroline” its 🇲🇽 ballads! 👏🏼👏🏼
“I watched you on The Contender, mate,” Kambosos told me after his war as he held ALL the belts. 👑
“That was great moment for me, George,” I responded, “but what you just did was incredible, mate! F*cking incredible!

Okolie at 6’5 looks sloppy & not coordinated & his lack of experience shows. Goes to show you just how incredibly athletic & gifted Tyson Fury is doing what he does at 6’9!!

bulletpoints:
• Canelo is unbeatable right now
• There’s a difference between quitting & retiring from a fight
• The Liver & Eye Socket are most painful places to get punched
• Boxing is BACK!
You don’t play with Mike Tyson... Period! Anyone who has followed me has heard my story about “Iron” Mike wanting to whoop my ass over a joke and a Ice Cream cone once. 🍦🤕
Everyone knows Canelo is going to be hard to beat. But what everyone doesn’t know or understand is, Callum is ALSO going to be hard to beat.

Glad to be home. What a unbelievable experience
#wembleystadium
was. I’ve never seen anything like that in boxing! 85k people singing “Sweet Caroline” in the rain, there to support their world champion. 🇬🇧
#JoshuaPovetkin
Boxing judges might as well eliminate “defense” and “ring generalship” from their scoring criteria if they ain’t gonna respect and apply it!!

Now that Shane Mosley has been enshrined in the HOF I believe it’s time that Vernon Forrest get voted in too. “The Viper” beat Mosley twice, was a US Olympian and 5X world champion in 2 division. Thoughts???
I remember a time when boxing writers & promoters called 16 PROFESSIONAL boxers on a reality show “fake fighters” & “pretenders.”
Oh, how how times have changed...
Boxing is like a cockroach, it lives & thrives in only the poorest areas in the world. It doesn’t need much to survive & it will always find a way to crawl back onto your TV set.
In all my gym wars I never recorded any sparring sessions. Even when I was hired to spar world champs they never recorded either! What happened in the gym stayed in the gym. The only thing that ever got out were tales of glory!
