As great as Inoue is, I think 122 lbs might be his limit. He got dropped in his last 2 fights and while he showed great recovery skills, that shows that it won't get any easier for him moving up as he most likely gives up size, and perhaps power.

If that punch he took last night came from a seasoned 126lber, I don't know...

He'll have to move carefully at 126 imo.

All facts. But thats another great thing about him. Hes actually challenging himself and doesn't care. Getting dopped isnt changing his style or making him lose his confidence. More fighters should follow what hes doing.

Killers will get dropped because they're so offensive minded. Inoue is no different than fighters like crawford and boots. Boots will be another one where he will have to be more defensively responsible as he moves up in weight even though I'm not sure it's possible because he's a killer.

We saw devin Haney lose to garcia and become scared to take a punch from a shot jose ramirez. Haney might be mentally shot himself.

Shakur walks around heavier than 145-150. Lets not forget he lost his 130 lb title on the scale so moving down isn't an option for him.

Let's take lomachenko out of the mix and stop giving these guys passes for continuously avoiding each other. Its no longer his time and getting robbed vs haney shows that they wont give him a decision vs any of these dudes anyway. Btw i think shakur smokes him at this point in their careers anyway. No one is going to beat that dude.

Let's get teo vs Haney and tank vs Shakur. There's no reason in the world those shouldn't be the 2 fights that happen next.

I like Shakur vs Loma

If he can get past Loma you gotta give him the Tank fight

They should all fight regardless. They won’t though

Loma right now is better than tank and would beat tank. Why would Shakur have to beat Loma to fight him lol?

 

[yungmatt]

Also one fighter who is getting lost in all of this is keyshawn davis.

Shakur and Davis are 1a and 1b when it comes to these younger fighters.

Crazy is I'm calling these dudes young just realizing all of them are already on their late 20s. What a bunch of time wasted smh

I dont know, you sure about that?

Loma is coming off 3 losses in his last 5 and on the backend of his career

Shakur is still undefeated

classic young lion vs old lion matchup

+ both are vying for a Tank fight

this would be an eliminator fight.

very SELLABLE fight.

Makes a lot of sense IMO since tank is the money fight and biggest draw

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

bro is pac-man broke?

why does he keep doing this

 

[andoneflip]

Thread updated for Pacquiao fight

 

[jayt1202]

Pac coming back for a nice payday and for them to try to get Mario over. Yeeesh I mean of course I'll watch but boxing gonna box.

 

[Dr.BlasterCombo]

Read that pac had a lot of money issues. Lot of money tied up into bad investments or something. Kinda sounds true now

 

[yungmatt]

This is nothing new. Pacquiao been having money problems since he was at his peak.

Correct. Read it a while back. Like 2010

 

[ICE CITY CF]

I hate to speak ill of a legend and I also hate that imo, some people tend to wrongfully generalize and think less of the intellect of pro athletes, but Pacquiao is actually dumber than a bag of rocks.

Also kinda crazy that he and his people couldn't grift their was to a lifetime bag after almost a decade in Congress.

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

anyone watching Suarez and Navarette?

 

[Dark Brandon]

anyone watching Suarez and Navarette?

Good fight so far. Navarette 49-46 thru 5 by my count.

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

[Dark Brandon]

Incredible 6th round

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

This Navarette-Suarez fight already better than any fight last weekend

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

damn, that was a headbutt earlier

 

[water runs dry]

Oh come on! What a letdown...

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

this needs a rematch

 

[Dr.BlasterCombo]

You’re not cutting someone over the eye going check to cheek. Bad call
