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.

Jesus that is crazy!! R.I.P Buthelezi


Boxing is brutal!! Striking in general can be brutal, but pro boxing (or even amateur?) can really mess you up, all that head trauma..... Weight cutting and dehydration doesnt help... Its a tough path, they are brave to walk it

****, when I saw that video I thought there was a good chance he wasn't going to make it. Absolutely terrible, tragic news

When I copied that link, I was expecting to see a brutal KO of him going out cold but that was even spookier to see! Can't quite put my finger on why, maybe because he seemed OK and then suddenly wasn't. Makes you wonder how long in the fight he'd been out on his feet for before that. R.I.P.

Anybody who says Haney isn't elite doesn't know what they're talking about. Dudes an undefeated undisputed champion in his 20s.

Julian Jackson. 1 of the hardest hitters ever!

If you don't know who Julian Jackson is or you've never seen a highlight(you probably have because he has some of the best KO's ever!)  Watch this.

If you like KO's you'll like

The Ring this year has had 3 Pound-for-Pound #1s with Canelo, Usyk, and now Inoue. If Crawford-Spence happens this year than the Ring will probably hit a new record and have 4 different Pound-for-Pound #1s. 

Usyk got kind of done dirty he was only made the p4p #1 for a sole month, that also has to be a new record for the Ring magazine.

Damn Frankie Randall! The 1st man to defeat the great Julio Cesar Chavez, who was 90-0 at the time (maybe more? Can't quite remember?)
It sucks to see that he's in a care home now suffering from a brain injury received through the sport he loved! I heard about another great boxer from around his era suffering too, former P4P no. 1 Donald Curry. 

It's just another harsh reality of combat sports, there are many, many other great fighters that suffer in their old age.

Why I feel , if you really do love combat sports, you should respect every man and woman who steps up for glory and our entertainment.

I understand that you can talk **** as a fan, and have a laugh of course. But underneath it all should be respect. 

Anyway, I feel like this thread is turning into a sad place, ****** fighters suffering in old age, comas, ****** deaths!!!

Jeez, only happy posts from now folks!! Ha, ****, unfortunately it comes with it

I've heard a little bit about Mr Delicious!!! Haha, it's a name that you tend to remember!

He's definitely talented and the British amateurs have become some of the best in the world, just look at the amount of Olympic and World medals won nowadays compared to not so long ago.  2000, Audley Harrison gold was the 1st ever! Amir Khan Silver in 2004 made him a superstar! I bet you couldn't name the 6 medalists from 2020!

Anyway, about Mr Delicious, he could be good. Tough to tell until he actually makes the jump to the pros. I think he probably wants to be a part of the next Olympics, a great foundation for the pros, so we'll see.
I wish him well

Viva Japan

You may have missed it last night but another young Japanese World Champion wrecking ball fought!!!

Kyoguchi is the World no 1 108lber, you could argue that he's top 20 P4P. He's very good is my point!

This week in boxing has been a great example of why I love the Japanese style of boxing. Great technique and all about
