Yeah agree sean i think the result was spot on but nothing between them for sure.
I had it very close till last couple rounds where i gave to crawford but you could have argued upto then crawford hadnt done enough to take a title and draw would have maybe been fair as i like to see winners taking title not doing enough to nick it.

Yeah think you're right i think Crawford didnt do enough throughout the fight but then Madrimov werent on the offence enough either , i think it was a close call , would of been happy had it gone the other way , or as you say a draw.

Yeah i always think if your the champ then the other fighter has to come and 'take' your title .. but think those days are long gone lol
 
Yeah i knew before even punch thrown he would need win easy or stop crawford with judges two usa but he also new that so was all about money for taking fight as he likely got more than he ever would usually.
 
And as i thought (and posted) the hype train around Anderson was seriously derailed on Saturday night .. I'll give him his due he showed he had heart but no way was he as good as people were hyping him up to be

 
Saturday 10th August - Vergil Ortiz Jr v Serhii Bohachuk

Really looking forward to this one , should be an explosive encounter .. Ukranian Bohachuk (25 Fights - 24 Wins (23 KOs) - 1 Loss) comes into this after beating the durable Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision for the WBC Interim World Super Welterweight Title , that was a solid performance and win .. hes only lost the one fight to date and that was against the decent Brandon Adams back in 2021 , whilst Ortiz Jr (21 Fights - 21 Wins (21 KOs)) has stopped his last two opponents in the first round since going up in weight , and as is evident by his record has stopped every opponent hes ever faced ! So from my perspective this has all the earmarks of a proper banger .. Bohachuk for me is the better boxer and is more versatile whereas Ortiz Jr is better on the outside and throws every punch with intent, When you look at the combined record of the two it reads 46 fights - 45 wins with 44 stoppages so its entirely possible that this one is gonna end before the final bell but i think it could well go to a decision as Bohachuk is probably the best / toughest opponent Ortiz Jr has faced and Ortiz Jr is the hardest hitting and most aggressive that Bohachuk has ever faced. Bohachuk has a reach and height advantage and i think hes gonna need it along with boxing clever , but i do see Ortiz Jr eventually wearing him down and catching him. Its a tough one to call as i really like both boxers but im gonna side with Ortiz Jr.

Vergil Ortiz Jr To Win
 
Saturday 10th August - Luis Alberto Lopez v Angelo Leo

Decent fight in prospect here , Luis Lopez (32 Fights - 30 Wins (17 KOs) - 2 Losses) should be a name familiar to British boxing fans as he beat Josh Warrington (in Leeds) to take his IBF Featherweight title and then in his first defence stopped Irishman Michael Conlan in the fifth round in Belfast , since then he has defended his title twice , winning both times. Angelo Leo (25 Fights - 24 Wins (11 KOs) - 1 Loss) currently holds the WBA Continental (North America) Featherweight title , he stopped Mike Plania in the third round in his penultimate fight and defended his title successfully when beating Eduardi Baez last time by unanimous decision. The only loss on his record came to Stephen Fulton , no shame in that , when he lost his WBO Junior Featherweight title back in 2021. Neither boxer are renowned for their power but Lopez has stopped five of his last seven opponents giving him a 56.7% KO rate whilst Leo has stopped two of his last three , so theres a possibility of them not seeing the final bell. Both seem to have decent chins and both dont mind letting their hands go and trading so it should be an entertaining fight , i think they're pretty evenly matched skillwise tbh but i think Lopez' aggressive and awkward style will see him come out on top.

Luis Alberto Lopez To Win
 
Friday 30th August - Dina Thorslund v Terumi Nuki

Im a big fan of the unbeaten Danish fighter Dina Thorslund (22 Fights - 22 Wins (9 KOs)) and i have been reading that its been announced that this could well be her last fight which is a shame as far as im concerned , her opponent Japanese fighter Terumi Nuki (20 Fights - 15 Wins (10 KOs) - 5 Losses) hopes to relinquish Thorslund of her WBC and WBO World Bantamweight titles but i think Thorslund is gonna prove to be too good for the challenger here. Looking through her resume Nuki hasnt faced anyone of Thorslunds calibre as yet and i think shes gonna fall short in this bout , thats not saying she wont give it a good go of course but i feel the Dane will prove to be technically superior and will outbox her , plus if this is gonna be her last fight then i cant see her wanting to go out on a loss so i feel she'll be well up for this one and that she'll retire (if the rumours are true) undefeated.

Dina Thorslund To Win

Glad that Ortiz Jr won last night , for this thread alone if anything else , but have to say i think it was the wrong decision , for me Bohachuk won (although a draw would of been fine as well) , he applied the pressure , scored two knockdowns and was the more busy fighter of the two on the night .. hopefully there will be a rematch and they'll run it back

The Lopez and Leo bout was a banger until Leo knocked Lopez out in the tenth round .. up until then i thought Lopez was having the better fight overall although both had their moments up until the stoppage

Two great fights :handgestures-thumbup:
 
Agreed O Outlander , the scoring in this has been atrocious , a fella down the allotment (who knows nothing about boxing by his own admission) even said that Delicious Oreo won that fight ! .. I can see this being the death knell of boxing at the olympics tbh , i usually cant wait for it but this time with everything ive seen its beyond a joke .. however still looking forward to watching Bakhodir Jalolov who fights the Aussie Teremoana in the Super Heavyweights .. i like Jalolov , its his third olympics winning gold last time .. also a pro boxer and hes 14 from 14 with 14 stoppages .. could be a future HW champ

You can box pro and compete in the Olympics @Sean or am I not understanding ?
Didn‘t have a clue was always under the impression once you turned pro you were excluded and that the Olympics were for Amateur boxers.

Yeah a rule change back in 2016 i think it was O Outlander , allows pros to compete , they do have to qualify though .. its all a bit mad really
 
One of the biggest disappointments of the games, on a par with the breakdancing, a once worthwhile competition now completely mired in corruption or incompetence, not sure which. Not sure where olympic boxing goes after this shit show.

Totally agree trecelyn trecelyn , tbh Boxing was on the way out cos of its organisation but id of thought they'd of put up a better show than this .. farcical mate
 
Well from what i've been reading Boxing will not be making the cut for the Olympics in Los Angeles 2028 .. First time in 100 hundred years that it aint been included .. Hopefully the boxing authorities can get their house in order and sort it out for the next one
 
Really sad day for boxing if that happens but to be honest it may be the wake up call the people who run the show need.

Doubt it , I read that the Court Of Arbitration have upheld the IOCs decision to formally de-recognise the IBA (the organisation that currently is in charge of the Olympic Boxing) . The IOC have taleked about the IBAs governance of the sport and their integrity of how matches are refereed and judged for some time .. so its gonna have to be a new organisation i think before boxing is allowed back into the Olympics

Read earlier that Boxing has been included in the Olympics since 1904 and when you think some of the great boxers that have come through the amateurs / olympics its a crying shame
 
Saturday 12th October - Artur Beterbiev v Dmitry Bivol

Well this is the fight i wanna see , more than the undisputed between Uysk and Fury , and most true boxing fans will be the same i'm sure .. Two of the best pound for pound fighters out there at the moment , someones gotta lose their '0' and someones gotta win and i think it has the potential to be a great fight and for the fighters , the winner gets hailed as the undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion of the world. Beterbiev (20 Fights - 20 Wins (20 KOs)) is a beast , no other way to describe him really , hes stopped every opponent whose got in the ring with him which is quite something really considering the quality of opposition hes faced , whilst Bivol (22 Fights - 22 Wins (11 KOs)) has also beaten everyone before him and whilst he hasnt the stopping power of his opponent he does possess decent power he does have sublime ring skill / IQ. Stylistically they are polar opposites , and whilst most people rate Bivols skill set alot underestimate Beterbievs technical skills and IQ which is at least on a par with Bivols i'd say personally. The thing that Bivol does have in his favour is hes a master at maintaining range and distance , whereas Beterbiev is more of a come forward fighter. This is as 50/50 as they come imho , and a case can be made for both fighters .. Boils down to can Bivol keep Beterbiev at range and can he take the power shots and how will he cope with them round after round .. He has a solid chin it has to be said , but then hes never faced someone like Beterbiev before (and remember in the amateurs Betebiev beat Uysk which is saying something) , and this kinds reminds me of the Beterbiev / Gvozdyk bout in some regards where Gvozdyk used his jab to good effect , used good combinations and countered well but eventually Beterbievs relentless pressure eventually wore him down , whilst i think Bivol is levels above Gvozdyk i think the fight could well pan out the same way with Bivol using distance , his slick footwork and counters (along with decent combinations) to keep Beterbiev at bay , but for how long can he keep that up with the ever throwing Beterbiev coming after him ? .. both have great engines so i cant see either lagging in the later rounds , but the constant barrage that Beterbiev is gonna throw is i think gonna have an effect on Bivol eventually / at some point. I think Bivol will start well and probably rack up a few rounds on the cards but i can see from the mid rounds onwards Beterbiev wearing him down with his relentless , stalking style , catching him here and there , and i think by the late rounds this could have an accumulative effect on Bivol , but its totally possible that Bivol does manage to keep out of the way as he has excellent footwork and from what i've seen manages to avoid most shots thrown at him .. but for me Beterbiev is very under rated , people think hes just a puncher with unbelievable power (which he is) but his fundamentals are excellent as is his timing , footwork and skill at cutting off the ring. Bivols guard is top notch as is his jab so its gonna be hard for Beterbiev to catch him cleanly but i think overtime Beterbiev does what he does best , figure out his opponent and eventually wear his opponent down , and start catching him. Its also entirely possible that Bivol can keep Beterbiev guessing , as ive said hes a quality defensive fighter and Beterbievs style will allow countering opportunities for Bivol where he counters and pivots out .. as i say its one of the most intriguing and interesting fights for a long while and both boxers , win or lose , still deserve to be in the lb for lb list , but im a long time Beterbiev fan and i think (hope) that he can get the job done although im not 100% as either could win depending on how the fight pans out , but i have to stick with with Beterbiev.

Arthur Beterbiev To Win
 
Ive copy and pasted my previous write up for the Beterbiev and Bivol bout before it was postponed , i still think it could go either way but despite his injury i still think Beterbiev gets the job done , or i hope so . Hopefully it will be a great fight
