Boxing schedule for September
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
I don't know if he wins but without seeing them side by side I think they'll be about the same height but Cuadras will a noticeably bigger body type. Not to mention Cuadras is in his prime and is a legit fighter.
Look at what Concepcion did before fighting Cuadras and then what he did immediately after fighting Cuadras (beat Sanchez for an interim title, beat Tyson in the trilogy, then beat Kono for the real title) and watch how Cuadras handled Concepcion.
Cuadras is as legit as they come and there's a real argument to be made that he's the #1 fighter in the division. This is no way an easy fight for Chocolatito to get another strap, and I'd be stunned if he makes it look that way.

Final Presser

“You’re going to see me perform to my peak – I’m going to be first with the jab. When he feels the power that I have that’s going to be a strong, powerful and quick Middleweight hitting him, not a Welterweight. I’m going to put it all together." - Kell Brook
“Everyone in boxing knows that I am a big guy. People who don’t know think that the weight is going to be an issue. I’m more vicious in sparring when I am around 160lbs or coming down from heavier than that, that’s where I am healthier in training and I can give so much more output in the gym, and that means the full 100 percent will come from me in the fight."
"This is for me to shock the world, and no better than the most feared man in boxing. Fighters give titles up to avoid him. People talk about me coming up to this weight: what a win that's going to be. "It's going to be the biggest upset ever. I'm ready to rip those titles away from Golovkin. I've prepared myself mentally, physically."

"I feel very comfortable," he said. "This is an amazing city, I feel like (I'm at) home. "I'm very happy to be here. I love the people in London. It feels great, like my second home. I respect Kell Brook. He's said he's ready for me: I'm ready for him. "I'm not scared. I respect my opponent because I understand the situation. He's very strong, he's a very good fighter. This is boxing, (but) no, I'm not scared." - Gennady Golovkin

Final Presser - Jacobs vs Mora II

"I'm going to do what I do best. People talk about my power, but I get my skills from the amateur system and from proving that I have the goods. I have the power in addition to the skill set. I'm planning on proving that Friday night.
"I'll be ready every round to give it my best and he better come in ready to fight. I'm excited to be here and display my skills in a new place." - Danny Jacobs

"Our last fight was on the way to being a 'Fight of the Year,' but I busted my ankle in the second round and I couldn't continue. I've been waiting 13 months for this opportunity and I'm completely ready. This has been a fantastic training camp." "I'm ready for any way this fight can go. I'm excited about this fight and the fans should be excited about this fight. We're proud fighters and I can't wait to get in there." - Sergio Mora
Robert Easter 17-0 vs Richard Commey 24-0

"This is a big opportunity and something I've wanted for my whole life. Ever since I was nine-years-old. All the hard work I've put in since I was a kid, everyone will see. I will put on a great performance." - Robert Easter

“Azumah Nelson has been in this game for a long time, and he’s ‘The Professor,’” Commey said. “He always told me to go in there, put my head up, put my feet on the floor and just give my all. I should put everything and leave everything in the ring.” “It comes from the world we live in and we’ve got that heart,” he said of his country’s fighting tradition. “We grew up with just boxing and football. This is what we do and we’re used to it. It’s our way of living.” - Richard Commey, of Ghana more specifically, the Bukom area of Accra (
@naner12
, did you catch that VICE sports documentary on Boxing in Bukam? It's called The Boys of Bukom. Check it out if you can, real good stuff. Always amazes me this tiny place in Ghana produces so many top boxers. That place is rough but it's amazing watching everyone in the village workout together every morning on the beach. Never seen anything like that anywhere in the world).

He's like a +425 to +550 underdog from what I've seen in the last few days so unless that changed over the last day, if you think he's going to win, this is a good fight to drop some money cuz he's got a damn good shot.

Same here, the odds seem too far off.
Any concern for Golovkin and what appears to be some sort of sickness? I know he beat Rosado with the flu, but Brook is a better fighter and I've had a feeling this was going to be more competitive than a lot of people realized, mainly due to the speed difference and Brook being a very talented fighter. The UK media reported Golovkin cut interviews short last night due to not feeling well and he arrived late to the weigh in this morning and looked a bit off (his demeanor was noticeably different).

Man that was an awesome fight. You watch a fight like Easter Vs. Commey and I'll never understand the reason why fans get caught up in the financials instead of actively rooting for good fights to happen.

Damn trainer. Brook was taking a beating in there, but I didn't like to see how trainer waive it off so fast. Brook has balls fighting GGG toe to toe like that, probably wasn't smart, but he punished Golovkin at times in particular round two and held his own for a while. That was a brutal fight, both just wanted to trade blows rather than box (Brook should have used more movement sooner and Golovkin should have been using his jab more to get inside rather than walk in taking punches).
