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.

Classic Welterweight KOs
the big Welterweight Title fight this weekend between Bud Crawford and Shawn Porter, Top Rank have just uploaded a video with classic Welterweight KO's from the past. Some real brutal ones here, a couple from Bud himself.
By the way Bud gets another KO this weekend!!!

Donald Curry
that KO vid and seen a nice Donald Curry KO reminded me of a video I was going to post here.
It's another from Rich the Fight Historian(I'm honestly loving going through his channel!)
Anyway, I wasn't too aware of Donald Curry until recently, since I've been diving back into my boxing history. Curry was just a little bit before my time, but he was ranked as the no. 1 P4P Boxer in the mid 80's. A tall, skinny, rangy boxer who could punch. Another interesting story for anyone interested in boxing history and maybe finding out about a guy you might never heard of who was P4P not too long ago, has a little bit of a tragic story (I won't give anything away!)

Greatest Welterweight Fight of All Time
KO vid also reminded me of this fight. In my opinion it is the Greatest Welterweight Fight of all time. It was a unification between, at the time, the clear top 2, there was only a WBC and WBA at that time (oh how I wish it was still!), then you have the fact that both these guys went on to become top 20 all timers(Leonard maybe top 10?) and of course the fight. The fight was fantastic, highly skilled, technical but also violent, hard punching. Also the classic "You're blowing it kid" line from Angelo Dundee.
Well worth a look if you've never seen it before

If I remember correctly, that fight was scheduled for 15 rounds. I wish all boxing championship fights were still 15 rounds.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes I watch a great fight and I'm thinking "I wish there was another 3 rounds" but also there is many times when an extra 3 rounds would be torture!!! Ha

From my rough understanding of it, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini's fatal win over Duk Koo Kim was one of the main reasons fights changed to 12 rounds.

Big J-Boxing news
Masamichi Yabuki pulled off a massive upset when he defeated Kenshiro Teraji and became the new WBC Light Flyweight Champion. He was as high as a 15-to-1 underdog on some books. They've now agreed to rematch in the spring. Teraji is still my boy!

Enter Canelo who had requested the WBC set up the fight with said Cruiserweight Champion, Ilunga Makabu. The WBC almost immediately granted him his request. Stars have aligned to make this happen it seems.

I'd have to watch the fight again to gauge how it was really going but Canelo won by a late KO I think.

Makabu is DANGEROUS!!
has a habit of travelling to deepest Russia and KTFOing big punchers and silencing crowds!!
This fight here was pretty wild. At the time Kudryashov was thought of as a real dangerous guy, turned out he's a glass cannon, but this was a good win at the time
