Mikey Tapology Boxing Corner!

Alright folks, 

As you might know I'm Tapology Boxing editor. I know the majority of you guys are here for MMA, so was I originally. But for the last year or 2 there is a little more interest in Boxing on the site. 

So here's a place to talk boxing. 

COPPAGANDA!!!! 

Apparently Floyd is fighting Liam Harrison of One Championship in the O2 arena on February 25. A bit random but I don’t mind this fight. Should be fun!

Knowing Mikey he’s probably on top of this.

"A bit random" Seems to be a massive understatment. Liam Harrsion the Muay Thai fighter boxing Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition held by ONE, and it's at the O2 Arena, is not something I thought I'd hear or read.

Honestly nothing has surprised me in this crossover boxing era since Logan Paul vs Mayweather was announced. Rodtang vs Mayweather could be next and my shock levels would be 0.

Yeah, I had no ****** idea about this!!! 
Well, I did know that Floyd was going to be in the UK soon for an exhibition. I had absolutely no idea that Liam Harrison would be the opponent???? 
Seriously, he is the last guy who I would imagine doing this. 
I thought it'd be Hatton, Amir Khan or some YouTube /Z list "Celebrity" 

And according to Liam Harrison’s Facebook that fight is already dead due to a knee injury 

Damn that Nong O fight screwed him over bigtime. Hopefully he gets that money fight again in the future.

Well Mikey this might be a fight for you.  Kalle Sauerland is in negotiations to have Francis Ngannou fight Derek Chisora on a misfits card

If Floyd Mayweather needs an opponant for a fight in London, I can step in!

GET DAT MONEYS STEPHEN!!!

@Joshjeffords

I don't think it would be unreasonable for me to ask for the larger end of the purse, right? After all, I did train boxing for a couple of years about 5 years ago! TBH, I'm not sure he'd want to take a fight against an opponant of my calibre! 

Stephen you monster! You know very well a mismatch like that shouldn’t be sanctioned. You would brutally ko Floyd.

Ya hes gonna duck you for sure.

Liam Smith represents the true boxing, the good old school boxing, he moved up the weight class to destroy Roy Jones Jr.'s overhyped protégé. Chris Eubanks Jr. was WBA Regular Champion, for me it was always a promise that remained in just that and the fact that Being a figure in the UK scene is a big part of being the son of a former world champion with a great boxing career (Chris Eubanks Sr.). 

Liam Smith's streak in recent years has been impressive, his only loss was a robbery against Magomed Kurbanov in Russia. With this string of knockouts and his ranking at 154 pounds, he deserves a world title shot at super welterweight or middleweight. Despite not being ranked at 160 pounds, the Benn vs. Eubanks Jr. was agreed to determine a world title challenger, when Smith defeated Eubanks, the ideal would be for Liam to receive that opportunity as he was the replacement for Benn who was going to be in the title eliminator match.

After his last fight against Fury, I thought Chisora ​​would take that last check and hang up the gloves and preserve his health, already in his last 3 fights he took a lot of punishment despite beating Pulev on scorecards in the penultimate.
It is sad that veteran boxers with a career already done continue to expose themselves to more damage considering that they have small children and opening a gym or a boxing school can make more secure money for their family (although in a clearly smaller amount) than going up. to a ring in a missmatch, with the risk of presenting irreversible sequelae after the fight.

With the departure of Ngannou from the UFC I had in mind that they would not send him at once against Fury or Joshua, although Francis already wants the big check. I was thinking that Ngannou would probably fight first against veterans like Chisora, Hammer or Duhaupas or even against a fighter with some fame, but not with a considerably high level like Lovejoy or Joe Fournier.

Chisora ​​has more experience as a boxer and Francis' striking always came out more for his power than for his technique, but if these 2 fight I have no doubt that Ngannou would win by brutal KO.

Tim Tszyu vs Tony Harrison for the WBO Interim Super Welterweight belt in Australia on March 12

Banger 🔥🔥🔥. 154 has the best matchups in the higher weight classes imo.
