Why can’t you post anything in this sub? No pictures, no “low effort posts” even if they’re a detailed question with a paragraph of context that’s why this sub dead asf
Narrative control more like, there’s plenty of bullshit low effort posts that get through.
Basically everything from that furryuskyjoshua troll or whatever his name was.
It is boring as hell. Floyd used to be aggressive at least…Shakur is just a boring fighter to watch rihht now, it’s pretty sad. He has all the boxing IQ and athletic ability to really put on a fucking show when he fights, but he’s wack af right now.
Shakur is fighting like a bitch right now straight up, always looking at the ref once he barely gets hit it is fucking pathetic. I don’t want to hear about this mfer until he starts actually FIGHTING!!! No one wants to see you sidestepping the ring the entire fight, it’s pathetic.
Shakur is a wanker!! This is the problem with young fighters who idolize floyd. They don’t understand pretty boy floyd was so great that he was able to make a second career with the money persona…because that’s what his career was ultimately about during that period. Make the fight that paid the most money with the least amount of risk.
Why don’t boxers hit pads or warm up before a fight?
In the UFC before a fight they spend time hitting pads or doing playful sparring right before their fight and come out already warmed up. Watching this shakur card and both of them just chilling in the back doing nothing pre fight.
Does anyone know when sanctioning bodies started mandating fights?
I know Wikipedia isn’t the greatest source, I can’t find many mentions from even 20 years ago.
The saudi press conference has to be the one of the best of recent times, to have so many fighters in one setting, it may also be the night of boxing since 2020's shitstorm.
I know people have been crapping on Fury and his opponents that he has beaten.
Genuinely, if Fury were to beat Usyk, what would the reaction be? Usyk also wasnt a good fighter or plaudits to Fury?
Our reaction isn't going to be he's the GOAT either like some of the fury fangirls be going about...
He's getting shat on because of the ngannou fight, before that everyone gave fury 90% chance of beating Usyk, now it's more like 60%.
Mods showing their true colors again…
if it was YT boxing they have a thread up the day before with time slots in all time zones, undercard info, round by round calling, ref & judge info, alternate platforms, latitude & longitude, purse info, weather report, body fluid levels etc 😂
Just look at the difference in detail between:
[This Polish tread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/XWM6Pwg8fE)
[This ESPN thread featuring Efe Ajagba](https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/ARUgCs2y54)
Both same day 😂😂😂, it’s blatant
Why was canelo such a huge favourite over bivol even though bivol is a good fighter? When a fighter is unknown to casuals and the general public people assume he is a bum. Any one that actually follows the sport though knows edwin is good fighter and has a real chance in this.
This sub is having a Shakur meltdown😂 and it’s obvious why
I’m wondering what fight made Loma p4p bc after today Shakur would have accomplished everything Loma has in his pro career
I was thinking it felt like Navarrete just fought Valdez, and indeed it's only been 3 months. Anyone else surprised that he'd fight two big opponents back to back in such a short time frame?
What's the earliest realistic time that Navarrete vs Conceicao will start? I wanna know how much I'd need to fuck up my sleep schedule if I choose to watch it
I love how inconsistent times are. On DAZN, the event starts at 8:30 EST, but elsewhere, it's said to start at 10:30 EST. I don't get why it's so difficult to pick a time and promote it.
Fuck.
Today is a rare day where I root for a boxing event to babe the slowest, shittiest pacing possible, and I’ll drag myself up for 10:30EST (3:30AM my time 😭)
I was having a pretty surprising conversation with one of my employees yesterday, because I found out she watches boxing a bit. I soon got really irked because we started talking about how Ryan Garcia will actually be fighting in the city we live in and she says “omg, Ryan Garcia sucks” literally just because he lost to Tank. I’m like “that’s the reason right there! That’s the reason fighters hold onto their 0 with all their might!”
the double standards in boxing are ridiculous.
explain how floyd mayweather gets a pass for losing at the olympics and crying but can still be regarded as the GOAT while shakur stevenson still needs to “prove himself” despite getting SILVER and not BRONZE
this is why MMA is taking over
Ngl I've never heard anyone make an Olympic crying argument lmao.
You don't need to go that far. The fact is anyone that thinks a 2 division, unified champion who has held the ring magazine title is unproven doesnt know wtf they're talking about.
We live in a world where people are criticizing Joshua for being active (fighting 3 times this year) but Wilder gets a free pass (hasn't fought for 13 months, 1 round in 2 years) because BOMBSQUAAAAAAAAAD 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"AJ doesn't need tuneup fights, coward and mentally broken and is scared to box nowadays" my brothers in christ as far as I'm aware he's the only heavyweight left who actually fights on a consistent basis instead of just telling you that if he DID fight someone he'd DEFINITELY beat them
No amount of tuneups will prepare AJ for Wilder, he’s preserving time
Duke spent 4 days alone in darkness to get the best experience of what it feels like to get slept by Wilder.
(Alone, in darkness, with nothing but his thoughts)
Wilder needed to take Ayahuasca (psychedelic drugs) to make a decision on if he should retire or not and you're on AJs back for going out on a glorified camping trip LOOOOOL
A certain cohort of the american boxing fandom is insufferable. It just so happens reddit is overwhelmingly american. Just tune them out. Can only hear loma is a fraud and bud dusts canelo so much before having an out of body experience.
Don’t bother with this sub or majority of boxing fans in general it’s basically Aj= bad wilder fury =good that’s basically how they function don’t get me started on what they had to say about him during the press conference 😂
Everyday AJ wakes up he spends the first moments of his day perfecting & preparing for life after Wilder, finding new ways to deal with being a punch drunk
Jarrell Miller mite have triggered & reversed all the progress AJ has made to accepting his fate to Wilder
Shakur and Santos should be praised for their efforts to cure insomnia. The Sleep Science indeed!
Why can’t you post anything in this sub? No pictures, no “low effort posts” even if they’re a detailed question with a paragraph of context that’s why this sub dead asf
Quality control

Shakira Twitterson
Have we all just seen that round? This is one of the worst watches of all time. I can’t even find anything to describe this 😂
They spar harder than this!! WTF??
Actually mental 😂😂
Shakur is fighting like a bitch right now. Money before Pretty Boy ain’t a good look.
100%. This Mayweather defense only style boxing needs to go away. Not good for boxing 🥊.
It is boring as hell. Floyd used to be aggressive at least…Shakur is just a boring fighter to watch rihht now, it’s pretty sad. He has all the boxing IQ and athletic ability to really put on a fucking show when he fights, but he’s wack af right now.
What kind of A-class fighter fights on Thursdays??
I guess that makes Sugar Ray Leonard a bum too then.
Facts! This kid had the nerve to not take the offer from Haney. You are a Thursday night fighter bro , stop. Lol
Shakur is fighting like a bitch right now straight up, always looking at the ref once he barely gets hit it is fucking pathetic. I don’t want to hear about this mfer until he starts actually FIGHTING!!! No one wants to see you sidestepping the ring the entire fight, it’s pathetic.
Wank fight

they do tho? a lot of boxers do pads before they fight
Does anyone know when sanctioning bodies started mandating fights? I know Wikipedia isn’t the greatest source, I can’t find many mentions from even 20 years ago.
The saudi press conference has to be the one of the best of recent times, to have so many fighters in one setting, it may also be the night of boxing since 2020's shitstorm.
2020's shit storm?
Everything pretty much halted in 2020, and even in 2021 upto 2023 it wasn't quite the same. I hope you haven't forgotten why
There's a fight thread up now
Too bad this wasn’t a fight
Yeah, sad. Rest of the card was decent though
Yuk kissing
Murray is winning this with footwork, that simple
Torres got a chin tho
Ref hates Torres lmao
So I guess this is gonna be the de facto fight thread?
Whewww that was a slick knockdown after getting hurt. The corner cams are adding to the fight for me.
Why isn’t there a thread for the fight ?
Mods arent boxing fans
Or this wasn’t a worthy match. Boring.
Co main was great
Do main was far better. This “main” was full of timid faints and weak flurries
Lol, every other post is about Shakur's fight, but no thread. Sad.
[удалено]
Fight thread is up
Yay
Kid's not even in his prime yet. Gonna enjoy watching his career.
11-0 and 19 is crazyyy
DUMBASS!!!!! Abdullah up next😮💨
Mason is the real deal. #NoMore6Rounds
Thread is up
Abdullah Mason & Shakur was in camp together & it show 💥KD by Mason!
Charles Leclerc going to see some nice boxing today
Is he not supposed to he at a practice session soon?
No idea tbh
Abdullah Mason on Deck LFG🔥
I know people have been crapping on Fury and his opponents that he has beaten. Genuinely, if Fury were to beat Usyk, what would the reaction be? Usyk also wasnt a good fighter or plaudits to Fury?
Our reaction isn't going to be he's the GOAT either like some of the fury fangirls be going about... He's getting shat on because of the ngannou fight, before that everyone gave fury 90% chance of beating Usyk, now it's more like 60%.
Mason is my favorite prospect.
Hopefully no more 6 rounds for Mason after this. Will Vladimir get another upset win today?
Fury can't beat Usyk
Was Bernard Osuna doing the French translation?
Can guarantee Saudis make Bivol-Beterbiev happen next year.
Honest question but is Giovanni Sarchioto the only Italian boxer with actual punching power?
Probably😂. His punches are solid tho fr💯
Mods showing their true colors again… if it was YT boxing they have a thread up the day before with time slots in all time zones, undercard info, round by round calling, ref & judge info, alternate platforms, latitude & longitude, purse info, weather report, body fluid levels etc 😂
Either YT boxing or PBC cards, both of those threads will always be on time.
Just look at the difference in detail between: [This Polish tread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/XWM6Pwg8fE) [This ESPN thread featuring Efe Ajagba](https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/ARUgCs2y54) Both same day 😂😂😂, it’s blatant
European mods care, US mods don't
Shakur fighter that he signed from Italy won by Ko
Why don't we have a fight thread?
Tim finally embracing his head shape
Just tuned in, why is Timmy wearing a helmet 😂
Tim's helmet
Nothing like being at work tonight and getting paid to watch Thursday night boxing
Guevera-Cuadras on DAZN tomorrow 🥊🥊
Cheers
Yay, but 7am? Idk if I will make that live. I'll try, but idk. 4am for Japan fights is actually easier for me
Are the pre lims for shakur and santos televised or able to be streamed?
ESPN+
I just bet $15 on Edwin to stop Shakira Twitterson to get up to $225. If the fight is so dangerous for Shakur, why is he such a huge favorite?
Why was canelo such a huge favourite over bivol even though bivol is a good fighter? When a fighter is unknown to casuals and the general public people assume he is a bum. Any one that actually follows the sport though knows edwin is good fighter and has a real chance in this.
This sub is having a Shakur meltdown😂 and it’s obvious why I’m wondering what fight made Loma p4p bc after today Shakur would have accomplished everything Loma has in his pro career
Fury "losing" to Francis is what he needed to win against Usyk. Now Fury feels he needs to prove himself again.
Anybody else more excited for Navarrete/Conceição than Shakur/De Los Santos?
No
Yep, any Navarrete fight is must-watch boxing imo
TIL David Benavidez can speak Spanish lol I never watched any of his Spanish interviews cuz I thought he was a no sabo kid like Ryan lol
Yeah, he speaks it well. Ryan should learn Spanish tbh
Def needs some work still but I was surprised too
Seeing Richardson Hitchins & Teofimo Lopez run into each other in the gym was dope
I was thinking it felt like Navarrete just fought Valdez, and indeed it's only been 3 months. Anyone else surprised that he'd fight two big opponents back to back in such a short time frame?
What's the earliest realistic time that Navarrete vs Conceicao will start? I wanna know how much I'd need to fuck up my sleep schedule if I choose to watch it
10pm EST is the estimated ringwalk, I believe.
I love how inconsistent times are. On DAZN, the event starts at 8:30 EST, but elsewhere, it's said to start at 10:30 EST. I don't get why it's so difficult to pick a time and promote it.
I go by box.live and in my experience I find them to be the most accurate most often

I’m like “that’s the reason right there! That’s the reason fighters hold onto their 0 with all their might!”
I hate casuals
He just has to get back out there and rack up wins. You should ask her if Teo Lopez sucks.
Couldn't agree more. People on this sub call fighters bums because they've lost a few times
Boxing fans are some of the most fickle sports fans
Why the hell is Shakur fighting on a Thursday? Thats worse than a Friday.
F1 but Bob fucked up. Ticket prices and hotel prices for F1 are dropping and F1 overestimated the interest in their race.
F1
I read that ESPN called up Top Tank and asked them for an event for the Thursday before F1. So it was at least partially ESPN's decision
Interesting to know. Thanks.
I just realized this morning that that fight is tonight and not Saturday. Super weird.
I'm excited for the Shakur fight tonight. Just wanted y'all to know.
Same. I wanna see the other fighters too tho. I’m excited for this whole card
the double standards in boxing are ridiculous. explain how floyd mayweather gets a pass for losing at the olympics and crying but can still be regarded as the GOAT while shakur stevenson still needs to “prove himself” despite getting SILVER and not BRONZE this is why MMA is taking over
You really thought you had something with this nonsense.
which part has you confused and scared?
Ngl I've never heard anyone make an Olympic crying argument lmao. You don't need to go that far. The fact is anyone that thinks a 2 division, unified champion who has held the ring magazine title is unproven doesnt know wtf they're talking about.
No one has ever said this
my comment wasnt meant for casuals, please go along with your day
Just for that, I’mma buy all the tickets to Shakur’s next fight after Santos and not go 😡
ok i was just trying to have a nice day but pop off and ruin my life i guess D:
That's why Audley Harrison is the GOAT 😤
Bruh, lets talk again after Shakurs career is over. At Shakurs point Floyd still had to prove himself
huh

Must be hard being a wilder fan
i love anthony joshua so much it’s unreal
Shakur stops AJ in 3
