Official 2017 Boxing Thread: 12/16 - Billy Joe Saunders vs. David Lemieux HBO

[illphillip]

I had a hunch "think about it" would be a hurdle

Some more for you good sir.

 

[dedafyats]

No I understood it, my Brooklyn taking Ls comment was a jab at your Brooklyn bias.
You're the only one who voted for Stevens in the poll you said right?

-- not trying to watch the Melo video ya posted.
Pretty soon that Melo is going to get overshadowed by the Melo from Chino Hills

 

[dedafyats]

JFE and Chocolatito are ducking each other TBH 

Nah man
Chocorajas is pricing himself out and has stated he's not interested in fighting either.

I don't blame him, he took a beating in both fights and barely walked out with a decision in both

I am very aware at what your comment was. Hence my response.

Still not sure you understood mine. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Not only did I say I voted for Stevens, but I also clearly said I had a Brooklyn bias.

Will next week too

When this many guys from your area are fighting at a world class level, you support.

 

[dedafyats]

Good, support ya fighters cuz Jacobs needs all the help he can get.


Let's please all acknowledge how good and world class Jacobs is.

Please no excuses come Saturday about GGG completely outclassing and walking through his opposition because "they aren't good enough" or whatever excuse y'all try to use to discredit Golovkin

 

[monstar]

Funny how cats in here now says canelo needs to fight lemieux when a few months back in 2016 y'all was quick to say GGG hadn't fought any real comp. Now everyone sees this fight and now realizes lemieux has some mast power that caused GGG to box instead of brawl lol.

Funny thing is the fight still ended with a GGG ko lol

Also Stevens needs to hang it up. That was a career ending moment last night he has taken a lot of punishment in the ring and in that ko sanctioned nonsense that rosado does. Bra had a great run but he will never be a top mW sucks that he is so small that he can't drop down in weight to super or standard we. Hes to small for the elite in the division

Jacobs I'm not a believer great fight with heart but he doesn't have the goods to beat ggg

 

[illphillip]

Good, support ya fighters cuz Jacobs needs all the help he can get.

The choice to support is mine.

Not sure why it irritates you so.

I thought the irrational obsession with NY was only in General

Jacobs doesn't "need" my help.

He either has what it takes to win or he doesn't. Doesn't effect my life either way. But I'm still pulling for dude.

 

[AEA18]

I guess I'll be the only one that chooses Jacobs in the poll

 

[Baby Newport]

I guess I'll be the only one that chooses Jacobs in the poll

Yeah, dont put your money on him

Im calling a 5th round KO.

 

[Air Pope]

I guess I'll be the only one that chooses Jacobs in the poll

Nope. Me too

 

[boxer15]

I guess I'll be the only one that chooses Jacobs in the poll

If Jacobs' manager is on here, he's with you. At one of the press conferences he said Jacobs is going to KO Golovkin.

Even though I'm a huge Golovkin fan, I just want to see a good fight. Like homie said, anytime Golovkin wins folks will try to discredit it so I just want to see a good battle between two great boxers with massive power.

If Golovkin KOs Jacobs all the YouTube lames will just talk about Jacobs not having a chin.

In other news, if any of y'all wanted that black and gold GGG Jordan brand shirt, it's back up on shopggg.com. At $47 shipped, it's too rich for my blood.

 

[nymets207]

I already see some of the GGG haters on YouTube / IG saying if GGG takes Jacobs shots without going down they'll know for sure that he's on PEDs [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji].. Haters will always find something to hate on

They each want like 1M to fight to each other 

Chocolatito ducked Cuadras this fight, but he's his mando after this unless he decides to go after one of the other champions at 115. 

 

[freakydestroyer]

Jacobs looks small in the pics and vids recently. I'm not saying he's smaller than usual, but I was thinking that he'd try to come in a little heavier. I guess he sees speed as one of his keys to victory.

 

[retiredkicks]

It's crazy to see how powerful and swift Lemieux looked last night only to be overshadowed by the fact Golovkin broke him down from the start of the first round in their fight. Golovkin is going to take a few, hard shots from Jacobs this weekend. I honestly don't see them being any worse than what Brook landed though. Once GGG gets through the opening onslaught by Jacobs, he'll walk him down and stop him. I'll say within 8 rounds.

This was the 30 day. I think he will still come in heavier.

interesting. Rumor is that Lemieux was ~200 lb yesterday.

Jacobs was 167.8 yesterday, GGG was 162. 

He's not going to beat GGG by trying to bang, and the IBF has a 10 pound rehydration limit to prevent guys from blowing up anyways. 

 

[blackcease]

I refuse to believe this dude is rehydrating 40 lbs after getting off the scale. He looked a little pudgy but not that pudgy.

And why the hell is Stevens fighting at 160 anyway, dude looked small in there. If Canelo could make 154 I know he could've. Maybe even a class under. Crazy to think he started his career at light heavyweight too

The 10 lb rehydration limit applies to the morning weigh-in. After that the fighters have all day to blow up. But as Paulie M. and Sergio Mora pointed out on twitter, they didn't even do the morning weigh-in for Lemieux-Stevens.

It was a post I read on boxrec or boxingscene last night before passing out. Now that I think about it the poster was probably exaggerating. Going by the eye test, he had to be at least 180.

He's 350 right now. 

 

[freakydestroyer]

I really think Tyson Fury is done as a boxer. He might come back for a couple tuneup fights but the moment he fights anyone in the top 15 he will get sparked. He should try commentating in the UK.

Pretty boy Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Phillip Ndou


Best fight ever
