Brilliant fight, Chisora has gained some respect back tonight.

Pretty sure I saw Hearn mouth "We'll do it again" to Chisora after the scores were announced.

Amazing again from AJ, we need the Klitschko fight now.
Next fight is the proper test of it's Klitschko
Would be a nice way for Wlad to go out.

No fight whatsoever from Molina. Pathetic effort on his part. With that said, I think Joshua will beat Klitschko.

It's the biggest payday out there for him, and if he catches Joshua he's knocking him out cold and sitting pretty.

klitschko looks like he's lost quite a bit of muscle mass considering he was only injured a few months ago, maybe it's just because of him wearing a suit being deceiving though.
Crowd is fucking hating Charlo, rightly so, he displayed some shit sportsmanship, and his apology was basically "I'm sorry. but not really" Just embrace the villain role
That aside, great performance, he basically won with the two knockdowns, Williams was outboxing him, but power made the difference.
Charlo vs Canelo is the best fight at 154, they should make it happen but who knows what Canelo is even up to

Impressive win by Charlo. Shame he's such a sore winner. Him vs Canelo or Andrade would be good fights at 154 but he might be headed to 160 instead.

I'd take Bud over Burns, Indongo, and Pacquiao. Question is, who will step in the ring with him?
Crawford looking to win the rest of the junior welterweight belt, wish he'd get a chance at Paquiao but Freddie Roach will never let Manny go out like that
Arum has also teased a fight at 137 between Bud and Lomachenko, but I can't see it happening, Crawford is too big for Lomachenko.

The expression on his face when AJ landed that bomb. He looked really sad. I almost felt a bit sorry for him, but it was too funny.
Great weekend of boxing around the world.
The highlight for me was the Charlo - Williams KO:

Some good scraps over the weekend, especially Whyte vs Chisora - not top drawer skills, but real heart and grit shown by both guys. Surprised Parker outpointed Ruiz Jnr, but from what I saw of the highlights, neither would trouble Joshua.
A couple of Molina Mismatches (Joshua and Crawford), but a real good win for Charlo, and also Abner Mares - I thought Cuellar would win, but Mares fought a good fight, I think he definitely has learned something from Garcia.
And another UK world champ in Khalid Yafai!

Bear in mind Crawford already beat burns relatively comfortably in Glasgow, although it was during a period where Burns was not at his best, but I think both Burns and Hearns made noises after the fight that they would not be looking for a return as Crawford's style and talent would likely be too much for Burns even at his best.
The fact that although Burns lost to Crawford, he was still competetive all the way should underline that Burns is a LOT better than many folks give him credit for.
Still think Burns at his best would beat Broner though, and there was noises of that happening early 2017, but who knows...

Daniel Jacobs vs Gennady Golovkin is signed, set, and delivered for March 18th at Madison Square Garden for HBO PPV.
Awesome news. I'm probably going to go live. Garcia-Thurman is the same month so I might have to make a hard decision.

Both really good fights. Unless you're Puerto Rican or a superfan for either Garcia or Thurman, then Daniel Jacobs vs Gennady Golovkin in MSG will be the better experience and bigger event.

Good fights set for early next year, anyone watching Bhops last fight tonight?
lightskintwin

Yeah, i'll be watching the old man.
Eh, not so sure about that.
I went Golovkin's last fight at MSG and I've also been to a bunch of PBC shows at the Barclays center. The PBC shows have been night & day better. Lots of great undercard fights (both televised and non-televised). The GGG card had nothing but mismatches and nothing of note outside of the televised fights (which were themselves mismatches).
Also, I'm expecting Thurman-Porter to be a much better and more competitive fight. I'm pumped for Jacobs-GGG, but Jacobs' questionable chin means that it could be a quick KO.

Sounds like you already know where you're going to go. You're right about Thurman vs Garcia probably being the more competitive fight. Do you think Garcia will pull in a nice Nuyorican base to the fight? I'm guessing since Philly isn't that far, philly fans may come out there in support of Garcia.
I'm expecting GGG to KO Jacobs, but at least Jacobs has athleticism and power and decent technical skills that can at least make the fight interesting.

Haha this is weird. Hopkins and his buddies wearing lack hoods, while some women dressed in white sing in the ring, and an old man next to him sings horribly "I did it my way".
