Showtime Saturday JoJo vs Kell / Gonzalez vs Russell

[Spicoli]

Doctor whispering to a fighter...then miraculously Vanes can see.

Yeh. Sounds legit

[walrus]

Sorry but was the Brook fight on Showtime extreme, it appears I missed it.

[walrus]

I expected the 12 to be a bit crazy. Both guys being careful. I have Charlo losing but only slightly, could go either way. I hope Charlotte loses.

[Spicoli]

96-94 Charlo at end. Charlo sharp down the stretch but dude has bad body language. Vanes tells a Dr he cannot see or its blurry 4 times but think they had to persuade him back in. Good fight

[walrus]

Yup, good active fight, not the results I wanted but a good match.

Thinking more that Stevenson v Bika will be a complete set up steamroll job

I can see Bika taking a hell of a beating. I'm still going with Kovalev when they eventually fight but Stevenson has infinitely better footwork and movement than Pascal and he's got that one punch power. That's probably just behind Provodnikov-Matthysse in my list of fights I want to see.

[Kirkland Laing]

I'm picking Russell but I'm cheering for Gonzalez.

Sorry you missed it, card will replay on Showtime after Gonzalez vs Russell.

[CFH]

Good win for Russell. He finally beat a guy who doesn't drive cabs as his day job.

Khan has stated he's fighting in May in Vegas and A fight with Brook won't happen at Webley on June 13th.

He says he's going a different route but does want that fight in the future.

Fuck me Amir there's only one 2 ways your getting a belt at Weterweight this year and one is Brook which is on a plate for you right now or the winner of Pac v Floyd.

He should change his plans and come and face Brook before his misses the boat because I'm pretty sure the division will be unified this year and that only leaves 3 people in the mix and unless Amir fights Brook he isn't one of them

Khan feels he is next in line to fight the winner Floyd v Manny, he does not want to risk losing that spot and wants a 'stay busy fight'. Business wise it is the sensible decision, boxing wise it is a wasted opportunity.

Kell v JoJo


Brook looked incredible. That was a complete wipe-out. He made the #1 contender look like the #1 pretender. Brilliant dismantle.

Prediction. JoJo Dan will be reduced to the bum of the week by Wednesday.


Charlo v Vanes

I was bummed that his brother was not televised and I expected more from Jermell. He looked pretty rinse and repeat and was a cheap skate with his punches. At times he looked like Ben Tackie with half the output. Right guy won and Byrds card as usual was a ? mark.


Russell v Gonzo

Well he had to beat him right but I never thought I'd see it quite like that. He had everything going for him though and its a perfect fight to look good in but Gary was impressive. I'm not much on excuses but I do buy Gary's explanation in part for his flat performance against Loma. This whole trend lately of "strength and conditioning" coaches does not seem to bear fruit. In fact most of the time, fighters cant make weight and look like shit. I dont like his overly close relationship to his dad and I dont like this default pass the buck to Haymon when these guys are asked who they want to fight. They are being asked not Al. I wish Gary would have demanded a Loma rematch. What, do all these guys have actual gag orders? I wasn't expecting him to call out Walters.

Prediction. Jhonny Gonzalez will be called shot by Wednesday by the same people that picked him to ko Russell.

[TitoFan]

Your predictions speak volumes about the fickleness of boxing fans.

[smashup]

Floyd has already said Khan has nothing to offer which he doesn't in term of Ppv buys, crowd pulling and belts.
He's gonna lose out again and the best way to get to Floyd or Pac is to take the belt from Brook.

Infact it's probably his only way of getting what he wants
