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. 

I won't even believe it once they've both stepped into the ring - I'll only believe this fight is really happening once Ryan has been laid flat out by a Tank left hand 

I wouldn't be surprised if Tank vs Garcia happens. Many people were speculating that ODLH was gonna cash out on Garcia after that miserable performance he put on in his last fight. 

Great list

Oh ****!!!! Banger Alert!!!!

Oscar Valdez vs Emmanuel Navarrete for February next year. 1 of those guaranteed action fights

That’s a great 50/50 fight. Hopefully Lara vs Wood gets re-booked too.

Yeah, I'm not so sure Leigh will sign up for that again?
Unfortunately I think Lara is going to continue to be 1 of the most avoided guys in boxing. Why would you want to sign up for that psycho with nothing on the line!!?!?
It's ******** that h
LARA destroyed a 30-0 multi defence World Champion ranked no 1 in the division Warrington only for Warrington to relinquish his belt before the fight so Lara has no real reward for the win and like I said, he is a much avoided fighter.
Hopefully he can force his way into a mandatory and force someone to face him. 
Lara is on my all violence team!!! He shares top spot alongside Subriel Matias, Artur Beterbiev and David Benavidez.
For as much as I love the technical brilliance of Chocolatito, give me a violent destroyer any day of the week!!!!!

Probably a troll.

@Cheeseball Ha they deleted the comment..... I dont think so... Boxing is his countries most successful amateur/Olympic sport but there are many others like him, they are just staunchly anti contact sports even rugby, but rugby can be bad for injuries aswell, I definitley lost some brain cells playing, and my friends highschool a rugby school, he said there was ambulances outside all the time

If that poster wasn’t trolling their way more sexist then they think they are. 

Mikey what's going on with Junto Nakatani? 

He is vacating his WBO 112lbs Title. He makes his 115lbs debut on the Kenshiro Kyoguchi card next week.
As far as I am aware his plan is to try and make an all Japanese Super fight vs Kazuto Ioka!!! (if Ioka gets through Franco on the New Years Eve show, which is no guarantee).
The WBO have a rule that when a Champion vacates to move up in weight they are automatically no 1 Contender, recent examples are Usyk, Shakur and coming up Navarrete.

The vacant WBO 112lbs Title is the title that Bam Rodriguez is going to be contending for. He has just vacated the WBC 115lbs to move down. It seems likely that he will face Mexican Cristian "El Chicharito" Gonzalez for the title early 2023

It has happened.  Jake Paul now has half a star on BoxRec lmao

Slowly making his way up to goat status ofc😤😤😤

Can we all agree that Jake Paul is the GOAT of MMA???

He first beat the GOAT of wresling outside of the UFC, Then beat the Welterweight GOAT, Then beat the All time GOAT, Who next should he fight to earn your respect?? Jesus??? Superman??? cthulhu

While I'm, begrudgingly, willing to give him a bit of credit for getting in there and fighting, putting on entertaining events and he's clearly dedicated to the sport.
I think it's also fair to say that he needs to face an actual boxer now. No, Nate Díaz doesn't count as a boxer because he has very good MMA boxing (Boxing in MMA is completely different from actual pure boxing).
Yes Anderson had a couple of wins on his record but anyone who knows anything about boxing knows that Chavez Jr is a joke, an actual embarrassment to his father and 1 million miles away from the guy who won a World Title. So Anderson beating Chávez Jr was a good win, it was, but it wasn't something that proved he was a master boxer.
Also, he was almost 50 years old! He took half the fight off and still beat Jake up in the clinch.

Anyway, I didn't start this meaning to completely **** on Jake!!!! I mean it when I say I can give him credit for doing something, still not quite sure how to classify what it is exactly that he's doing?..

It's boxing but not quite boxing. He is headlining PPVs and Selling out arenas in Boxing matches against Non Boxers!!!

I get it, look at any top level boxers 1st 5 fights and you will find extremely padded records! But Jake is in a different position, PPV headlining boxers should be facing actual boxers!!

I don't think Tommy Fury is the best guy to face. 1 Tommy is pretty ****e!!! 2.I don't trust Tommy to show up, again!!!

I know the man, the real test!! You guys know who I am thinking of right???

POOOOOOCCCCCHHHHHHIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!

The real test!!! Poochis on a win streak, he's ready, is Jake???
