polishgenius Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Absolutely terrific ruck just now between Olexander Usyk and Marian Briedis in the cruiserweight bracket of the world boxing super series. Usyk wins the closest possible decision, 114-114 115-113 115-113. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace, Extat Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm glad the ref stopped that early, Brunson was not going to recover and literally couldn't lift his hands to protect himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yeah that was a great stoppage by Dan I thought. Brunson was fucked. Pretty solid card tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this Gillespie guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The WBSS has delivered its second great fight in a row, Gassiev vs Dorticos. Setting up for an Usyk vs Gassiev final, which is going to be fantastic as well. The super-middle semis next- Smith vs Breidis probably won't be as strong a fight, but Groves vs Eubank should be absolute fire. And having apparently sorted out technical issues from previous fights for tonight, those in countries where it's not on TV (like America) should be able to get the fights free streaming on youtube.

Davrum Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 This Rockhold/Romero battle is so fascinating to me, not just on a technical level but as a meeting of two of the most quietly intriguing personalities in the game. Also stoked we'll fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally get to see Israel Adesanya in the UFC. For NZ fans it's felt like an endless wait. Now just got to cross everything and hope he goes ok.

polishgenius Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The Gassiev-Dorticos fight? Apparently the stream was solid and consistent for the first time, the whole fight showing clean on youtube, so that's nice. If they can keep it up for the two SMW semis in the next two weeks, we know they've sorted the problem rather than just fluking it for one night. Adesanya looks like a hell of a talent.

KiDisaster Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Romero missed weight for tonight's bout. If he wins he doesn't get the interim belt, but Rockhold still does if he wins. Which is the most pointless thing I've ever heard since either way whichever one of them wins is getting the next shot at Whitaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davrum Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Bummed that Rockhold couldn't do it, I really wanted to see him get it just so I could see a fresh challenger for Rob. Luke's striking defense is still so bad though he probably wouldn't have been much of a "challenge" for a killer like Rob anyway. Even more bummed for Mark, but y'know ... dude's almost 44, was fighting a 26 year old giant and probably got paid twice as much as the next highest paid guy on the card. Stoked for Izzy Adesanya though. The most important thing was to see if he could remain composed in the big show and he passed that test with ease. Now just have to see if he can sort out his TDD. 9 hours ago, KiDisaster said: Romero missed weight for tonight's bout. If he wins he doesn't get the interim belt, but Rockhold still does if he wins.

polishgenius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Although it isn't a fight that will or should happen for a while, I'm already looking forward to the eventual meeting of Adesanya and Paulo Costa. I believe White's already confirmed that Yoel fights Bobby Knuckles next, so there's that. Although Yoel says he broke his leg in the first round, so he could be out for a while.

Chris has one victory coming off a 3 fight loss streak, I don't think Yoel should get another shot right away either but Chris isn't anymore deserving IMO. I'd like to see Weidman fight Jacare and give the winner of that the next shot maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana never needs any more justification than "because I wanted to" to green light any given match up, but I suppose the fact Yoel had not been planning to fight for another couple of weeks gives him a little leeway on the weight thing, especially since he essentially stepped up to save the main event.

polishgenius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 By the way, did you all see Alexander Volkanovski slaughtering Jeremy Kennedy and adding himself as yet another name on the firefight of up-and-comers at featherweight? Dude comes off very much like a mini Khabib. 145 is heaving with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Superfly II happened and it was fantastic. The headline fight, Sisraket Sor Rungvisai vs Juan Francisco Estrada, was an early shout for fight of the year, super high-level boxing and a great action-filled scrap. Superb stuff.

The Unborn Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Tonight is a crazy night of boxing. Kovalev vs Mikhalkin Bivol vs Barrera Wilder vs Ortiz Dirrel vs Uzcategui Derevyanchenko vs Johnson I will have to watch the Kovalev card on HBO, and set up my tablet or laptop in a way to watch the Wilder card.

Also in the UK, Kell Brook vs Rabchenko on his move up to 154, as well as a Josh Taylor showcase, with some decent lower-level fights under each.

KiDisaster Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I started off switching back and forth between the UFC card and the Showtime card but ended up just staying on the boxing.
