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

I agree he needs to jump right to the top of the division, but in the meantime stay busy with someone decent. Maybe an Andy Lee or Hassan N'dam.

He fight some bum on the Broner undercard next month, his debut at 160

Oh word. He should be a bigger name at this point. This certainly isn't helping.

I think that's why he (Jermall Charlo) decided to move up.

People couldn't tell him and his brother apart. So now people will be able to tell the difference based on the weight class.

#1 WBC Heiland (29-4-2, 16 KOs) and Charlo will be fighting in a World Boxing Council 160 middleweight title eliminator. The winner of the fight becomes the mandatory challenger to WBC champ Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. This will be the first time the 27-year-old Charlo has fought at middleweight during his 9-year pro career. It’s a tough draw for Jermall given his lack of experience against the bigger fighters. Heiland, 30, has some pop in his punches, and he’s not going to make it easy on Charlo.

Unless he takes an L or they throw step aside money at him, Charlo should get winner of GGG vs Canelo.

 

[illphillip]

I may hit Barclay's for that. Decent crop of fighters in the last 3 fights (Garcia, Broner, Trout, Hurd, Charlo).

 

[niketalker23]

Canelo's jab and upper body movement are key. GGG gets flustered if you put a consistent jab in his face because he has to reset everytime.

 

[Baby Newport]

Just saw that canelo is fighting for all of ggg's belts except the wbc. Ggg has the ibf belt, is canelo really gona weigh in the next morning? Can they gain any weight overnight?

Well, at least he won't balloon up as much as Jacobs.

Passin through some of these sportsbooks out in Vegas and they got Broner at damn near +400.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't bet on this???!!!

Money must be coming in on Broner. Heard he was +500 a couple days ago. I do not see good enough value or risk-reward in picking either side. I'm going for the draw. I do not think either guy is going to get stopped and it will be best for Haymon and boxing as a whole if neither lose.

I feel it... I just can't pass up on a +380 payout especially if I think the fight will be alot closer then what the lines indicate. I wouldnt drop a whole bag on it but a couple hundred for a potential return of $960 doesnt seem too bad at all.

Besides, going off your logic, if it's a draw I would get my money back atleast.

I can't trust Broner anymore his mind is on the streets, not the ring

 

[Baby Newport]

Yeah i dont think broner has realized how much trouble hes in.

Itll sink in when hes hanging halfway out the ring.

I havent followed this fight at all... Damn, it's really that bad? Broner really on cab driver status now?

Can't contend at 147, can't make 140 and even if he does he'll be super drained. His shot at ever being elite is over.

Dudes been babied, everytime he upped his opposition he failed.

And all his championships are a joke. Ill give him a lil credit for his lightweight title, all other's were handed to him

I couldn't pass up on it too which is why I put a few dollars on Broner. For all I know this clown shows up this fight for some odd reason or anomaly and he wins or causes a draw.

I also won't be mad if Mikey rocks him as expected but who knows.

 

[tomdiginson]

at Broner mind set on the streets.

Mikeys small for a super lightweight and broners on the bigger end of the division. Dont really see that happening.

 

[monstar]

I think anyone writing broner off is tripping. Mikey is finally gonna fight some improved Comp and a focused broner is a good broner.

Dude has the tools to be good but he holds himself back settling for pot shots rather then throwing combinations.

Gonna be a good fight. I'd happily take broner in that fight.

I feel his antics and lack of focus overshadow his ability which is a shame

 

[tomdiginson]

Will be a close fight, but Broner will win

 

[illphillip]

Apparently Salido might be injured and Rigo is back at it making noise to try to get the Loma fight.

 

[Bobby Layne]

 MEXICO - It seems another Mexican name has emerged as a potential rival for Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko. In addition to Orlando Salido, Sinaloa's Ray Beltran sounds like a possible Hi Tech rival on August 5, at an evening of Top Rank that would televise ESPN .

 
However, as negotiations fail to materialize, the name of Beltran is considered, who is looking for a big fight at 135 pounds; Emerged as an option and it is known that was not badly seen by Vasyl, who has long left the possibility of going lightweight.

In the same way as Salido, Beltran is looking for a big fight and Lomachenko could be ideal for his aspirations, even much better economically than it would represent a starting fight against any of the current champions in the category.

For now, what is known is that Lomachenko would be back for August 5 and that the fight would go on ESPN after the agreement announced by Top Rank, which includes the fight Manny Pacquiao and Jeff Horn this July 1 And possibly the clash between Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo if it materialized.

Ray Beltran is probably the most underrated in the sport today.
