If Dirrell wins, the fight that needs to happen is Dirrell vs Ward. We already got robbed of that fight in the Super Six, but now with Ward making his comeback, that's the one guy at 168 Ward never beat. And could give Ward a ton of problems if he brings his A game. Ward is weird as fuck though, I think he's mentally fragile so I don't know what to expect with the guy.

2-0-Sixx @2-0-Sixx .. have you seen "At Durban, South Africa: Thabiso Mchunu vs. Ilunga "Junior" Makabu, 12 rounds, WBC cruiserweight eliminator" from 5/16 anywhere? Don't really care about the quality, can't find it anywhere.

I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

Did you see Povetkin vs Perez yesterday? He's been crushing guys since Clinchko wrestled him to death. He's mandatory to Wilder. I want Wilder to be the next great thing but if he ends of taking that fight Povetkin destroys, no, KILLS him. Fact.

Definitely so, they reaired it as the first fight on the FNF finale. A bunch of good fights happened last night. Drozd Vs. Janik and Chakhkiev & Kudryashov on the undercard of the Povetkin/Perez undercard.

The whole FNF finale was a good card and CBS Sports Net aired Richard Commey Vs. Bahodir Mamadjonov at like 1AM which was a pretty good fight.

Still haven't seen the FS1 card from last night but I'm sure that was probably pretty good too.

I'd love to see Wilder Vs. Povetkin. Hopefully it happens after Wilder's garbage defense against Eric Molina. I think it may be a better fight than what you think, though I'd pick Povetkin to win. Haymon would probably get the fight in the states to air on PBC, especially if it goes to a purse bid. If Wilder can beat Povetkin and look impressive doing it, it'll be a huge statement.

so with FNF's finale, is that the end of Joe and Teddy?? Grew up watching Friday Night Fights, going to miss Teddy's analogies and screaming/yelling lol. Dude was always passionate.

It's not the end. Al Haymon will have PBC replacing FNFs and they are keeping Teddy and Joe. It's only going to be once a month though not weekly which sucks.

Also now that Haymon will be Teddys boss, curious to see if he's so quick to go on about robberies and corrupt managers/promoters.

Dirrell vs DeGale is about to go down! Finally a PBC fight that I'm getting excited about since their debut. Both fighters making weight and making this a meaningful fight. I got Dirrell within 6 but it looks like DeGale in decision. Will be close

I never understood how people liked Teddy Atlas as an announcer. If you were a random casual fan and tuned in and listed to Teddy I can't imagine how you'd leave not thinking boxing was a shit sport and every fight is fixed.

If Teddy scored a fight 96-94 for one person in a fight with nothing but close rounds and a judge scores it 96-94 the other way he'd go crazy and scream robbery and call for the judge to be fired. He always picked the underdog in almost every fight so he can look like a genius if he was right. I've honestly always thought Teddy was terrible for boxing as an announcer..

In case no one watched, Craig Baker fucked Umberto Savigne up his last time out. Unfortunately that's the only live body he's been in the ring with. Curious to see this fight against Rodriguez.

I can't stand Teddy Atlas anymore. He's seemed to get worse over the years.

Another thing about his scoring, how can he accurately keep score of a fight while he's talking the entire time about millions of things and making up stupid analogies? His mind can't be 100% focused on the fight, so it's super annoying when he believes his score is right and there is no other opinion that matters.

Not only does he go crazy about robberies even when they are close fights, he's so fucking critical of fighters and considering the talent level is usually not top notch, it serves no purpose. If some casual fan tunes in, listening to teddy will make you believe you're watching the worst fighters in the world, no need to continue watching!
