Yup, he's going for the kill.
No. It just shows that Garcia should fight in a lower weight.is this a fight that will take something away from Mikey and he'll never be the same afterwards?
Freddie aint even head trainer. He got no influence anymore.
True or not, I thought the current ongoing narrative was the opposite?I dont like that spence is ducking crawford, he wants to fight manny now when he is old instead of his prime.
I never expected anything different, honestly.I would think you'd have to at least put Spence ahead of Garcia on the P4P list if you hadn't already. He didn't just win the physical battle, he won the chess match in the early part of the fight.
I never expected anything different, honestly.
I'm honestly surprised so many thought that Garcia would outskill Spence (let alone those who hoped he would overpower him, which was delusional in the first place).
It's literally in video form. Spence said why wouldn't he take the easy route and fight porter,etcTrue or not, I thought the current ongoing narrative was the opposite?
He's a fucking clown if true.The duck is official. Wilder turns down DAZN and the biggest fight in boxing to fight Breazeale on non ppv Showtime because he's loyal 😂
According to ESPN DAZN offered him two deals:
- 3 fights, $20m Breazeale, $80m Joshua x2
- 4 fights, $20m Breazeale, $80m Joshua x2, $20m tba

There's nothing official about the duck. You act as if Wilder vs Joshua can't be made just because they're on two different networks. Did Tyson Fury officially duck both of them by signing with ESPN? That's how ridiculous some of ya'll sound.The duck is official. Wilder turns down DAZN and the biggest fight in boxing to fight Breazeale on non ppv Showtime because he's loyal 😂

Deontay Wilder revealed that his team reached out to Wladimir Klitschko's camp earlier this week after hearing the April Fools' story about his 'comeback.'
It's not obvious. YOU keep pressing on as if Deontay Wilder has to accept whatever deal YOU want for him. YOU were claiming Deontay Wilder was ducking Joshua when Hearn offered him 15 million last year. Now Wilder has been offered 40 million to fight Joshua in deals worth at least 100 million dollars. It's clearly something Wilder/Haymon are doing right in appreciating Wilder's value so quickly.It's clear Team Wilder don't want it. It was there on a plate, a deal eclipsing his total career earnings, all the belts, and they turned it down point-blank because; loyalty, needs to marinate, only want 1 fight (after previously demanding a rematch), never happening unless we get 50/50, blah, blah... too many excuses from these clowns. They're a joke:

However as somebody that's kept up with boxing for decades, it's naive to not consider the business side when analyzing what's going on. Wilder is just one piece on the board of Haymon's chess set being leveraged to maximize earning potential and deals with Fox Sports and Showtime, same as other promotes are doing with ESPN and DAZN.
Regardless, none of this prevents Tyson Fury (who's with ESPN), Anthony Johsua (who's with DAZN), and Deontay Wilder (who hasn't signed a deal yet, but who's Showtime Sports president claimed will offer a deal as good if not better than the one DAZN offered, and that it will not have any clauses preventing Wilder from fighting Joshua) from negotiating and fighting each other.
That's true about AJ, but I never thought he was ducking Wilder but was being maneuvered by Hearn to better his promotions as all promoters do. I don't think Fury ducked Wilder by signing with ESPN. Arum had negotiations with Wilder's camp and made them a serious offer. I think Wilder vs Fury 2 is more likely to happen in the fall than Wilder vs Joshua.I don't necessarily disagree with this, but AJ does get the majority of the hate for ducking when he has been doing the exact thing Wilder has been doing. Wilder calls AJ out for ducking him. Neither of them want the fight right now and think they can make more out of it. Wilder has done very very well using AJ's name to promote himself over the past year.
Also, Fury absolutely did duck Wilder by signing with ESPN. The Wilder rematch was on the verge of being made when Fury decided to sign with Arum. Fury knew Arum would make that fight very hard to make. The ESPN deal does absolutely prevent Fury from fighting Wilder anytime soon.
And AJ is not signed with DAZN as far as I know.

AJ may not be signed with DAZN but it's obvious which 1 of the 4 major boxing networks Hearn is more aligned with.
Edit: Now that I think about it, AJ has to be signed with DAZN, because how else could DAZN offer Wilder the AJ match and rematch in their 100 million multi-fight deals they offered him?
Yeah, the fight to make is Garcia vs Loma. However Garcia's one sided loss to Errol Spence made that fight lose a lot of luster despite it being two divisions heavier than Loma's division.Easy win for Loma yesterday (read the Reddit thread and the results). Dude needs to fight better fighters.
Shields, from the little reading I did, did pretty good? The usual? Is she the best Women boxer right now?
It was literally a mandatory and a fight he said from the beginning personally had not great interest in. Seems a bit unfair to blame this on hm.Easy win for Loma yesterday (read the Reddit thread and the results). Dude needs to fight better
Garcia vs loma would still be huge. People will understand mikey went up two weight classes and Spence still couldn't even hurt him and he took all of spence shots.It was literally a mandatory and a fight he said from the beginning personally had not great interest in. Seems a bit unfair to blame this on hm.
Not to mention all the potential "better fights" don't currently seem to be particularly willing to participate, and you still need two to tango, as the say goes.
Garcia would be the obvious big thing, but his unfortunate idea to face Spence Jr. took away a bit of glamour from the potential fight, not really because of the frankly inevitable loss, but because how one-sided it was, with him entering survival mode from the beginning.
Beside, the real question right now, aside from any speculation of contracts being signed and agreements on purses, is IF Garcia can make it back to 135 at all and if he's willing to.
It would be a bit unfair to ask Loma to move up again for the THIRD time in 14 fights, especially given his age and Garcia already having the size advantage naturally. Not to mention 135 is where he actually holds the belt. A "meeting in the middle at 140" would make little sense.
Other potential good fights are Tevin Farmer or Gervonta Davis. Also, the upcoming Teofimo Lopez keeps asking for the fight, but despise expecting him to be a big name in the future, I frankly give him little chances currently.
For the same reason they tend to dislike any boisterous classless compulsive bragger, I guess?
