Boxing schedule for the month of June

[2-0-Sixx]

And Andrade is the man at 154. I can't see Lara, Canelo, Floyd, no one giving him a challenge. All of them will duck him and he will beat anyone at 160 too.

He looks great but we gotta see him challenged first. The one area of concern is he's very open for straights. It's what knocked him down against Vanes and even Rose landed a few solid ones down the middle. Other than that he looks great, definitely a problem for anyone at 154.

ruslan after fight with algieri second time someones wins my belt and goes to hospital - YouTube

It's a shame he keeps dropping decisions to guys that need medical attention afterwards. Maybe he should learn adjust when adjustments are made to him.

 

[T-Rip]

Or maybe he did win and got hosed cuz of the hometown decision

 

[Coach E. No]

I'm probably as big of a fan of Provodnikov as there is and have been since his career started. I could tell he was probably going to lose that fight though. I thought he was landing the much harder shots obviously, but when a dude is throwing so many shots, he doesn't have to land them all or knock you out. This is the case of winning the war and losing the fight. Algieri was landing clean punches and was snapping Provodnikov's neck back quite a bit. I'm not at all surprised the scorecards read the way they did, and keep in mind it was a split decision. It's not like it was a robbery.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

The only whacky score was the one judge who had it 117-109 for Ruslan. If all three judges scored it the same now that would have been a robbery. Fight was close so 114-112 showed that.

 

[RM211]

i thought it was close, maybe Ruslan pulled it off for me by a round but not mad at all with the dec. even Freddie Roach knew Ruslan was in trouble and losing the fight. I think it was the 9th or 10th when freddie was saying that he needed to take him out, that they needed a ko.

 

[Coach E. No]

I have been saying it for awhile. Judging needs to be re-vamped in some way or another. There are so many scorecards that make no sense to the general public. In some ways, it makes the sport more fun to talk about but I think we'd all be happier with more clearly defined rules on scoring.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

It's a really simple solution - add more judges. Ideally 11 total judges. Like figure skating, it would balance out the retards.

Prichard Colon just whooped some dude on Fox Sports 1. Ome or two fights left

Sadly, I don't think that would even solve it. With as many bad cards as we've had in the last few years, at least 66 percent of the morons out there are turning in bad cards. It's rampant in the UFC lately too. The scoring needs to be more clearly defined bro

Arroyo looked awesome, pretty cool that twin brothers won eliminators in impressive performances so close to each other. If he gets the fight that should give him a shot against Ruenroeng, which would be a pretty good fight.

I'm pretty sure Ruenroeng would much rather do Ioka II considering the money in fighting Ioka in Japan, and the fact that he beat him pretty convincingly the first time despite a retarded judge.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Who you guys got tomorrow?

Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gary Russell Jr.

I still think it's too soon for Loma. Third fight, I favor Russell. Faster, more experience. Although Loma has the height it seems.


Robert Guerrero vs. Yoshihiro Kamegai
Devon Alexander vs. Jesus Soto Karass
Sad Chad Dawson has fallen off so hard his fight vs. George Blades isn't even on TV.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Side note: if Chad Dawson looks kinda fat its because he came in 8 pounds over weight! Doesn't seem very motivated

Dawson today against Blades weigh in:

Dawson against Stevenson weigh in:

 

[CZAR]

Wow poor Dawson. I think Dawson gets knocked out. His career is over. Got Em!!

 

[naner12]

You know how I feel about solid amateurs jumping in deep water this fast. I know Lomachenko asked for these fights I'm just not a fan. I don't mind them getting tough fights or fast tracked, just not a fan of a guy fighting Salido in his 2nd pro fight..

 

[Coach E. No]

I didn't know James Toney was fighting on tomorrow's card j/k I scrolled up from the bottom, I was like "dang, Dawson's in good shape for this fight." Then I saw what he really looked like today. It's all bad.

I hope Guerrero wins but I expect him to struggle and maybe eek out a decision, then talk about how he wants a major fight again even though no one really wants that for him at this point.

I could care less what happens in Alexanders fight. It's a really bad style matchup for Soto Karrass but I hope he knocks Alexander out a la Berto.

Russell and Lomachenko. I'm AMPED for this fight. I think Russell should win but sad to say that Lomachenko has better pro experience by fighting Salido once than Russell has in all of his pro fights. I'm expecting a chess match mostly but wouldn't be surprised to see one of them get hurt with a clean shot and the other guy follows up with a flurry stoppage. If I had to pick, I'm going Russell.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Well, even though Russell has only fought bums he has been a pro for a few years while Loma just fought Salido a few months ago so the experience definitely goes to Russell who's put in rounds. Loma is too arrogant thinking he he can win titles in his second and third fights. It's not the end of the world if he loses but he will start his career 1-2. After going 300-1 in the amateurs!

 

[naner12]

Amateurs just aren't the pros and I agree that it's not the end of the world, but there's been cases of top flight amateurs getting in too deep off the bat and have never been able to get their careers on track. Even Rigondeaux found 23 rounds, had 6 professional training camps, and still struggled in his first big fight against Cordoba.

The amateur system is just so different that you need to through the pro ranks before trying to make it happen. He could fight quality guys without taking monstrous steps up. Fight a solid guy that hasn't been stopped in a 8-10 rounder so you can see what it feels like, fight one of these "good record" guys that are built to get washed later on by prospects. I'm sure I'm ranting now, but I've never liked this regardless of how great of an amateur the guy is.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I agree. The only thing with Loma is he did have like 4 or 5 fights or so in that semi pro league, which must help a little.

Anyways, check out these purses:

Dawson is making 15k and was fined 20% of that.
Guerrero $1M, Kamegai $75k
Lomachenko $631,500, $Russell 421k (via purse bid)


Can't believe Guerrero is making a million and how FAR Dawson has fell the fuck off

 

[battle619]

Loma is going to not only win, but embarrass Russell. Loma lost to Saliodo cuz Loma was being too nice, and he almost finished Salido. And 1 judge had Loma win, which I agreed. Loma has great hand speed as well. There is a reason why the WBO is giving him another chance to win the title.
