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. 

Yeah, like I said, both guys moved to Canada years ago. There is a promotion there called Eye of the Tiger. They have several top Russians, Kazaks. A good place to catch some future contenders 

In case anyone missed the fight. Sky Sports boxing just uploaded it to their YouTube

geo blocked on this side of the world 

Ah, sorry about that! 

Not your fault lol nothings free over here unless your homeless.

Please Cheeseball, do NOT look for serious boxing takes from ****** True Geordie!!!!!!! Haha!

Sorry bud, but seriously Cmon man! 

Lol sorry we need more boxing youtubers. Didn't say I agree with him.

Haha, no worries Cheeseball, I'll give you a list of some good channels

I love Office Hancho, I think he's a photographer at big events? But he's consistently produced quality videos. From historical breakdowns, ranks, and a real focus on the lighter weights and Japanese boxing, which I personally love. He really knows what's going on in the world of boxing

Rummy is a real boxing historian. He also talks about modern boxing, gives breakdowns, predictions and recaps. But his best work is the history of boxing, I have found out so much about guys from the 30s,40s, and many other decades! He's really good at breaking down all time lists for fighters and fights( he has a top 50 fights of all time that I'll probably post)

Boxing Legends produces high quality short films focusing on interesting stories /fighters. Some of the best I can think of are Edwin Valero an Ecuadorian destroyer who IMO would have beaten Pacquiao, and all the top 130 to 140lbs eventually. If he wasn't a psycho who murdered his family! (or did the government murder him? Interesting. Also there's a vid on 90s "Great White Hope" Tommy Morrison, a top Heavyweight who ended up highs of starring in Hollywood movies and lows of dying with AIDS! That's just 2 of many

I like these guys Boxing Social. They do a good weekly podcast, also interviews. They seem to be very unbais and not afraid to ask promoters tough questions. I've seen Eddie Hearn squirm a few times! Not like IFL (sponsored by Matchroom!) all about ***** and views!! 
So yeah, check out Boxing Social

These guys, Rythmn boxing have just started putting out a lot of good content. About boxing Super talents thro the years that maybe don't get talked about enough nowadays. Julian Jackson (most dangerous puncher ever IMO), Aaron Pryor(possibly the best 140lbs ever, although he done some shady **** too!) Salvador Sanchez (top 5 greatest Mexican boxer ever who tragic dies at 23!) I'm really enjoying their content lately

Finally, The Fight Disciples. You may recognise them as the guys who work for BT Sport for the UFC. They started in boxing tho. They have their own channel in which they talk MMA and Boxing (2 separate podcasts). I think they are funny AF and they know their **** and they also don't hold back in giving people ****. Some legendary rants about PEDS, too many belts, corrupt judges and more!  Definitely check these guys out

I could go on!!! But I'll leave it there, just please don't look for Boxing opinions, actually any opinions from True fookin Geordie!!! Haha 

@Mikey1903

I fully agree about Rummy's Corner, I've been watching his stuff for the last year or so and I've learnt so much about boxing from him! He can be hilarious in his own straight talking way at times and isn't afraid to take controversial takes but often with sound reasoning behind them (in the comment's section of his videos it's become a running joke to pick against his predictions and he acknowledges this in his videos as well) but despite his picks, there no debating that he knows his stuff!

Motivemedia do a lot of great boxing videos as well, particularly fighter profiles.

@Stephen Terry

You should also check out Michael Montero's youtube channel.

I'm more saying we need more boxing commentary/analyst content (kinda like the weasle)

Some good channels I've found that kind of fit this description are Viddal, The Wade Concept, and Roundhouse radio. Also I found this really good channel called Hidden Gem. A lot of of these channels lean into the YT boxing angle a little too much for my liking but so do ESPN and every other major news source who likes money nowadays.

OK Cheeseball I got you

Some real good analytical, technical break downs from these guys bud. Fights new and old. Real proper nerdy **** here mate!!! Haha
If you want technical breakdowns you won't find much better on YouTube from these guys

You guys have already named all of my favorites; ModernMartialArtist, Hidden Gem, and Rummy. I would recommend checking out 

Joseph Vincent. They've done some of the best Boxing and MMA documentaries I've seen. 
https://www.youtube.com/c/vinniemack84/featured

ShortBoxing. Discusses a plethora of boxing techniques. 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdGqxnOTbdaMEIgXcMIRIiw/featured

Big Fish Boxing. New channel that's doing Boxing documentaries. The Usyk one was especially good.

Yeah Rummys Corner is good, used to watch weasel..for mma breakdowns he is more biased than DC.
Pretty bad watching a slomo obvious miss and this guy is raging a murder boner saying it was a power shot.
I like Mike Bisping tbh he is biased and admits it but still tells all detes and give weird personal comparison.
Off topic but Gabe Vargas has a channel and does blow by blow being arguably one of the best living kickboxers at fw thats where I go for Kickboxing. 

Yeah I'm subbed to him aswell. Also about the weasel, I agree he's wayyyyy to biased towards European fighters. For example, just a couple months ago he was talking up some random Eastern European fighter (can't remember his name) in the prelims saying he would beat Kumaru even though the guy hasn't beaten anyone solid yet (not saying that fighter is trash its just too early to tell). He also reports on rumors wayyy to fast.

Sorry for the long mma rant in the boxing thread lol.

To clarify I still enjoy the weasel's content.

@Mikey I kind of don't think those breakdown channels are better or worse than Jeordies in many ways.They're correct at a decent clip, but so is the weatherman if you catch my meaning. It's easy to be a genius after the fact. Even I could do a breakdown of what happened after any fight had transpired. But knowledge doesn't equal cause. History is under no obligation to repeat itself.

Case in point, I thought Joshua would be a much harder fight for Usyk than Chisora. All previous evidence, and the opinions of experts, pointed to that being the case. And he wasn't. Confirmation bias is real.



I don't think Boxing in general is as complicated as some pundits tend to make out. It's the sport of punchface. I love it. It was my first love and always will be, and I will probably always watch it. I was watching Boxing a long time before MMA even entered my radar. But it's nowhere near as complicated as MMA just as a consequence of the sheer amount of extra variables there is in MMA to think about, and people definitely have a tendency to overthink it. 

Cool Cheesy ok way off topic but he does boxing too anybody watch Jesse at Mexican MMA he is ******* unbelievably funny.
Ya know when the biased and nerdy peeps are boing you give him a listen I'll buy you a drink if you don't laugh.

Maybe I'm misremembering but I honestly didn't think Chisora was a hard fight for Usyk. When I scored it in real time I thought it was a conformable 117-111, maybe even 118-110 if you give Usyk the 3rd & 4th which were the most contentious rounds. Nothing from Chisora was ever really landing clean, Usyk never looked in danger and seemed content with leading him all around the ring, and every round after the 4th was all Usyk.
