Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
I wouldn't say Hrgovic is poor. He's got some stuff going on in the penthouse that makes him a bit of a loose cannon no doubt, but not poor. I see a bit of Golota in him. If he could have kept his head on straight for 36 minutes he would have cantered past Zang.
I'll be watching the card for sure. It's a great night of boxing no doubt. I know some people are getting their G-Strings in a bunch because it's not Joshua Wilder, but (and I hate to use these words) it is what it is. Cry it out, order a pizza and enjoy people punching people in the head. It's what we do.
The thing that sticks out for me. In spite of all that's good about this card, boxing still can't help but hamstring itself in the process. De Mori is going to get fucking battered by Hrgovic. He has absolutely zero business being anywhere near that fight, it's dangerous. The IBF forcing Opetaia to vacate. The biggest stink of all is Miller. I fucking hate that clown. I don't care if he's served his time, I don't care how smart people think his mouth is. He's a fucking disgrace and in a sane world, he would have burned all his bridges at this point.
I'm also a little uneasy about Wilder Parker. OK he's had a few comeback wins. But Parkers last meaningful fight was getting dismantled by Joyce. If he goes down in this one it's going to be a rough landing.

Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Andy Ruiz should have been on this card. They are freezing him out like they did Tua... probably waiting for him to get older and slower. This is wrong. Miller should not be on this card ahead of Ruiz.

Bivol controlling the centre of the ring and has Arthur on the ropes to win round 4.

Dubois was a one sided beat down of the fat drug cheat.

Almost feels like it would be safer for Arthur if Bivol was a puncher and just ended it.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Bivol dominating the fight and should step it up for the stoppage.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Bivol 6 nil up and letting his hands go now which is about time.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
When Bivol lets his hands go it’s impressive but my god he can be a bit boring at times.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Arthur survival mode in round 7 and Bivol just dominating.

This is why I want Beterbiev to beat him for the undisputed.

Time for him to contemplate staying on his stool.

It would be a moral victory for Arthur to go the distance especially after being stopped by Yarde.

Again has me thinking Bivol fights down to level of opposition. Won't be good in the big picture for him.

What made Bivol step back in the 8th?

Yeah.. Bivol has negative killer instinct.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Arthur survives to the last round which is good on him.
Should be 120 -107 UD.
-
Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
If anything let's hope Beterbiev is even more eager to make unification now. Top of the 2024 must see matches. Assuming Sulaiman has come off of the nationality bs.

Nah, it’s like either he was hurt (doubtful) or he pulled something. Easier said than done, but Arthur maybe should’ve gone shit or bust then.
That’s not a criticism of Arthur , he’s a brave guy.

Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Well De Mori was as dangerous a mismatch as everyone knew it would be. Opetaia Zorro was equally as brutal. I'm sure Makhmudov is about 7% human being. Impressive performance from Kabayel beating him down.
I don't think I've ever been so pleased for someone winning a fight, as I was for Dubois walloping that fat fuck drug cheat cunt. Boxing owes Dubois a big thank you. Miller can fuck off to some tin pot casino fighting for priority seating at the buffet. It's s bit sick isn't it, that boxing puts the responsibility for ridding itself of Jarell Miller literally in Daniel Dubois hands. Dubois had his moments in that fight as well. I think everyone held their breath for a moment a few rounds in when it looked like it might be going sideways. Big credit to Dubois for fighting through it. He learned something about himself tonight.
Bivol is like poetry in motion isn't he? But fuck me poetry gets boring if it goes on too long.
The anti Miller energy post fight from every man and his dog on commentary. What was that all about? They were drooling all over the fucker all week long. Now the coast as clear, they can start slagging him off?

I agree with Master.
Bivol is such a cautious fighter, he has no killer instinct. If he stepped on the gas he could have ended the fight around half way.
Such a zzzzfest.. fuck knows how he’s a draw because if that was a main event on a random card I wouldnt have watched it.

Firstly , good to hear from you, been a long time. But I personally like watching Bivol. Technically excellent , great feet, not a big puncher, because he’s not very big at the weight. But big enough to see most people off.
