    Yep, I watched it and it was a beating and a half Spence gave Garcia. :eek:

    A BIG beating! :(

    Garcia is one tough cookie! His team told him if he doesn't show them that he is trying to do something, they would have ended it in the 11th or 12th, but Garcia told them no and he kept doing the best he could.

    Garcia took a big chance on this fight, but it didn't work out for him. He was very humble in defeat.

    Spence?? Man!! What a beast! Manny P jumped in the ring after the fight and they talked about having a fight there. :eek:

    What is Manny thinking? Spence will retire Manny, I'm telling you.

    Spence and Crawford are best in their division! I hope they end up fighting each other, would be a travesty if they didnt.

    Shields vs Hammer too If anyone is interested in women's boxing, This one is "The One" to watch.
    2 x Olympic Gold medalist, Undefeated IBF, WBC and WBA champion Claressa Shields (8-0, 2 KOs) and undefeated WBO Champion Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KOs).

    The Loma fight, I will watch. I just don't see Loma losing this fight.

    Yep, Lomachenko destroyed Crolla. :eek:

    He definitely one of a kind! Can't wait to see who he fights next. :D

    I watched that Shields VS Hammer fight also. I was working, but watched the replay of the fight.

    What a fight! Shields is brilliant!! Congrats to her. :D

    Shields fought very well. Very focused. Her only downfall is, she doesn't have enough power.
    I try to figure her out:
    Her punches are thrown with ALOT of speed and weight behind them. Is it the precision or (lack of) maybe what effects the power behind it?
    I can't figure it out.
    I loved her defense. After the 1st round, She totally had Hammer figured out. Hammer's punches were all telegraphed. Shields bob'ed, weaved then countered all of them. Beautiful work!

    Hammer was no competition for Shields. Fight was underwhelming imo.

    That's the ONLY match up I see for both that makes sense.

    Bummer that it ended on an inadvertent low blow. I wonder if Kahn could/should have continued? Hurts getting hit in the balls but he didn't even use up his full 5 minutes before his corner threw in the towel.

    Crawford vs Spence Jr has to happen for the fans. Hopefully the promoters can settle their differences and put this fight together.

    Yeah, that's the thing. He could have had up to 5 minutes to take a break, gather himself and then make the call whether he could fight or not.

    He took around a minute max and then they decided to stop the fight.

    After 4 rounds it goes to the cards to decide the winner.

    So he either thought he was winning and took a chance that he could win the fight on points if they didn't continue.........................or he knew he was losing badly and might have been knocked out in the later rounds.

    Before the fight I thought Crawford would stop Kahn in the 8th or 9th round so I placed a bet on Crawford to win via TKO. I think it was eventually coming and Kahn knew that I reckon.

    Crawford VS Spence Jr will be awesome to see. I still think Crawford would win that fight, but on points in 12. Slightly more experience and ring craft I think and he can switch it up.

    But Spence Jr has the size and power going for him also. So would make a classic fight, maybe even a trilogy lol.

    I have to say, I'm not ready for Crawford vs Spence yet. It's almost like a semi final match up.
    They NEED (Desperately) to clean the division first. One needs to get rid of WBC Champ Porter and the other needs to get rid of WBA Champ Thurman. Then you got yourself a REAL Unification bout worth BIG BUCKS!
    If this doesn't happen, you'll still have 3 champs and Porter and Thurman will be demanding the BIG BUCKS! They are not worth it.
    I can't see it any other way.

    Agree 100% Armen! I would LOVE to see that happen first. :)

    Crawford to beat Porter, Spence to beat Thurman or vice versa.

    Then Crawford VS Spence Jr...............winner takes all! :D

    Looking forward to seeing young DD step up the competition some time soon.

    And a title fight between Tete VS Donaire for the WBA/WBO Bantamweight unification fight.

    DDD Daniel Dubois KO'd Richard Lartey with a big over hand right in the 4th round. :D

    Dubois still has a lot to learn, but he will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in another 5 years time. :eek:

    Alverez VS Jacobs today.

    I watched the fight, was a close fight, kind of what I expected and the right man won the fight.

    I did not watch the fight. I saw MANY clips of it and highlights. Looks like each fighter had their moments. I did hear Canelo did deserve the win. Good for him.

    I watched the fight on DAZN. I thought the fight was close and reflected by the judges' scorecards. Seems like the two announcers had Canelo way ahead. He neutralized Jacob's size and reach and had good ring awareness and movement. Jacob's did an admirable job, was never in big trouble or pinned against the ropes as Canelo intended. Remarkable recovery from Osteosarcoma. But in the end Canelo was the better fighter.

    Trilogy fight against GGG? Canelo bias when he fights in Vegas, thought GGG should have got the decision after Fight #1.

    Yep, was a decent fight. Not a classic, but was good. I think it was closer than what the announcers were crapping on about and one of the score cards was a bit off lol.

    GGG VS Canelo III??

    That would be good, but I think GGG might be over the hill for that kind of fight now.

    He won the first fight, I callled their 2nd fight a draw.

    I think Canelo wins the trilogy fair and square.

    Yep GGG won first fight and 2nd was a draw. Yes GGG looks a step slower and I would favor Canelo in the trilogy fight.

    Is there anothrer fight for Canelo at middleweight with someone else?

    Yep, agree with you there mate.

    I think so, the only person left to fight in that division would be Jermall Charlo I think.

    I still favour Canelo for the win because of his power, but Charlo is very good.................although for the most part untested.

    Hopefully they make that fight soon as Charlo is the WBC Silver champ from memory.

    Wilder VS Breazeale this weekend. :D

    AJ knocked out Breazeale in the 7th round in their fight back in 2016, so we will see how Wilder goes. :D
