I am surprised that no one has started this thread yet.

I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.

I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.

So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"

such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport


Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.

Discuss and have fun.

Last night of Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua live at Wembley Stadium in England in front of 90,000+ people in attendance, has to be one of the best and most entertaining heavyweight championship fights of recent memory. Great action from both fighters, the young buck taking the win but after a hard fought rally from the former champion. Wlad fought hard and not in his traditional, "stab and grab" style, light on his feet and combinations and head movement. Excellent showing.  Joshua will take that as a great learning experience and a lesson on how to evolve. And the great thing is, he has time to with his youth.

I honestly wouldn't see Wlad retire after this fight, but I would like him to take a few months off to recover and maybe go after a rematch later.

But during Wlad's rest period, Joshua in my opinion should try going after another belt instead of his idea of going after a crazy and overweight Fury. I can see that Joshua might have avoided Wilder, who was in attendance and tried his hardest to not say his name.

BUT HELL, the Heavyweight division is being talked about again. I AM ECSTATIC for this. This fight what this division as well as boxing needed.

Wlad had the right idea last night. He even knocked Joshua down. Age just caught up with him as he had nothing left in the last few rounds.
Do you think Joshua is afraid of Wilder?

That was the best Wlad had looked for years. AJ is still too hittable for my liking but all the pieces are there. I think Fury is a more likely opponent than Wilder who seems to want to take on a cruiserweight in Bellew.

6-4 GGG

Canelo looks like he put on the wrong type of weight. The Extra Muscle looks to be draining him.

Canelo very surprised how much backing up he has to do for this fight.

118-110 Canelo? I'm blown away by that...

GGG won AT LEAST eight rounds of that, imo.

I gave GGG 8 rounds, but thought it was arguable he only won 7. I am blown away that any judge could watch that fight and score 10 rounds in favor of Alvarez. Unreal how bad the judging is.

What a damn shame. That dumb ******* idiot has ruined how many fights in her career? Why is she employed? She has her scorecard done before the fight begins. It's such a ******* shame that her being a completely useless person is what this fight will be remembered for the time being rather than the fact it was a seriously incredible boxing match.

She didn't give 4, 5,6 rounds to Canelo. She gave him 10!!! That is literally inexcusable. And this idiot will still keep her ******* job. Goddamn, that makes me mad. Such a black eye on the sport and such a black eye on that incredible, incredible fight.
