Predictions 2021

Didn't see one this year. We may be hobbled but surely we have some very solid matches coming, signed or near? Personally I just want more live fans in a crowd but seeing as how UK bouts have been cancelled for now it seems a long shot. Just realized that yesterday..do the States follow? And who fades away and who breaks out or continues to do so.

Kovalev gets knocked out and starts working as hired muscle back home.

Keith Thurman doesn't fight again and fades away. Eventually picks up multi millions of social media followers specializing in homemade patchouli oils, crystals and a master Sitar stinger.

Miguel Berchelt v Oscar Valdez will be worth waiting for in February. Unfortunately Valdez will go out battered bloody and blue but Berchelt will come off the canvas, flash kd, to pull it off.

The ibf will now insist on filling the three spots of every division with TBA, Have no clue and Not Rated.

Plant has an awkward stinker with Truax. Canelo steamrolls Plant.

Nonito Donaire has a fight of the year and retires...not exactly going out on a limb :-X

Deontay Wilder will now blame his dog for the loss in March or next week.

Juan F. Estrada and Chocolatito Gonzalez II! I like Estrada in a can't miss.

Know what would be a fun fight style wise R Garcia v Javier Fortuna

Charles Martin will again be ranked #1

147 will undergo a resurgence of sorts..Ortiz Jr, Prograis, Jaron Ennis and Crawfords turns 34. Spence and the Canelo talk sounds distracted.

Running random..what say you?

5. Fury is seen as the sports Hot/Cold Fighter either not taking the AJ bout or committing a Wilder- Wild excuse for losing to AJ.


4. Anthony Joshua becomes Undisputed HW champ- but still has detractors.


3. Lomachenko loses again, but this is a bad decision,(Garcia or Haney) dropping him deeper in the P4P ranks.


2. Teofomo Lopez loses a barnburner to moving up in weight T. Davis. He proves the better boxer, counters better, drops Davis, gets too cocky welcomes a phonebooth firefight, gets dropped by the short stalky dude landing a shot that impacts his equilibrium. The better boxer loses the fight via TKO standing up, but not convincing enough for the ref. Ref takes heat for stoppage.


2. DLH really comes out of retirement and his beaten worse.

1. Crawford meets Spence!

LOL at the Kov, IBF, and Wilder predictions. ;D

I'll add a few of my own.

The WBC introduces the Permanent Champion Belt, superseding the Franchise Belt (which will be disactivated), and promptly bestow Canelo with the one and only version of the new belt. This belt will never expire... can never be lifted from Canelo... and is "more important" than any other belt.

Spence and Crawford will NOT meet in 2021, much to the chagrin of every boxing fan. Boxing writers will begin to make parallels between those two and Floyd vs. Pac, which marinated to the point of putrification.

Bridgerweight will survive 2021, only because fans aren't exactly being allowed to attend boxing events in droves. Beyond 2021 it will die a slow, unnoticed death.

Beterbiev will get bored in 2021... and win a surprisingly difficult fight, due to this boredom. He'll secretly wish for Canelo to venture to 175... but will know deep in his heart it'll never happen.

Edgar Berlanga will have someone last into the 2nd round.

Big name fighters will duck champions, instead fight domestic level UK fighters, media and fans will support it

Fury beats Joshua in a huge fight in the Middle East

Lomachenko moves back down to super featherweight and impressively beats a top 5 fighter there.

None of the so called new fab four at lightweight will face each other. With excuses galore.

Okolie wins a world title at Cruiserweight

Billy Joe Saunders finally gets a big fight.

Oleksandr Khyzhniak wins the Val Barker trophy at the Olympics and everyone is excited for him to turn pro.

In the M. East, definitely possible! Fury has the tools. Not sure of his mental capacity to hold stable for more than a year at a time!

LOL One can literally ask; who is Billie Joe S?! Hope he does get a big name fight so I can figure out where to rank him.

I may have been totally off. Apparently Thurman has shaved his head, lost the ponytail and is barking for Spence :fight:.

BJS loses to Canelo

Whyte does not fight Povetkin and has to take on someone else to stay busy.

Callum Smith moves to light heavyweight after his lame effort against Alvarez.

Wilder beats Ruiz

Eubank Jnr becomes middleweight champion

Tyson takes on Evander

The word duck will win by a wide margin "The most used word on the forum" contest.

This is the year Pac will look his age, yet I can't predict it will make him retire.

https://i.imgur.com/Yxuq2pT.jpg Well I for one certainly did not think us lucky fans in the U.S would see our rightful claim to the heavyweight title renewed with the triumphs of this guy. Faith restored. lOng LivE the wba :bag:

#5 Hot n cold...BINGO!!! But I didnt expect it to be covid that would postpone another of his fights.

#4. WOW, won't happen- not his fault?

#3. Loma looked pretty good, but if he has another fight this year? I may have been hasty in this one. Maybe another 2 years.

#2. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...her-exhibition
BINGO!!!!!;D


#1. Spence & Crawford interrupted for Spence & Pac. I didnt see that one coming!
