Upcoming Fights **Mod note: Keep discussion to fight night threads**

Morrison J

Not a terrible BT card tonight. Fancy Joe Hughes to give it a right go springing an upset on Sam Maxwell. Sunny Edwards in a decent step up too. Would expect Dubois to win early as usual.

Easons O’Connell street is where I pick them up. Not sure still stocked there..

They have an online shop as well. Not sure they ship to Ireland.

eBay and Amazon another possibility..

I just bought it online ringmagshop.com. 16 dollars total cost!!

So Brook could be fighting Crawford in November. I wonder are we ever going to see Crawford really tested.

Ah sorry I now see it has already been mentioned!

Yeh. He is a real quality fighter. But he needs a signature win against a quality elite..

To date....not a single win..

Brook is a has-been..

I see Loma and Lopez have both signed for their fight.
Should be fight of the year in terms of quality.

Brilliant.....absolutely...

The next I want to see is Tank Davis v Loma....

I would pick tank here......probably shouldn't, but I see something...

I am going to say it, but I think Loma won't take a good clean shot..I don't believe his chin to be that good...and I think Tank and Teo can find it clean....

Teo has a real chance...

Yes, he could be similar to Roy Jones in that regard, we will definitely find that out when he loses a step.

I think his D is better than Roy's though. Loma's D is all round....Roy's was more reflex based...So, losing a step is more apt for the likes of Roy.

I think Teo can find the chin clean.....If he does, we may get a surprise, or not, for me.......

Loma is deservedly the favorite here...He has all the tools and all the game to win, but what happens, say, if Teo can even land and hurt Loma, to the point where Loma becomes vey cagey and cautious, or even reluctant to risk too much?

I just don't want another 10-12 rds of Loma not getting hit clean/hard, and simply being too much...I'd love to see Teo get in his shots clean and hard...

Looks like the global sports number 1 attraction is really pushing the boat out for his next fight..Anvil Yildrim (Eubanks cast off) is touted for Canelo...🤔

Initially given their past one would reflexively go for a Loma win and having seen both live I would concur but there is this belief, as you say, that if Lopez can land clean it could really open up the fight. Linares had Loma down but not with the concussive power Lopez has.

Such a shame that no fans for this. I would have gone to Vegas.

Anyone watching the Yarde fight?
He looks terrible

Yes, and several shots Linares landed, that were nothing special, seemed to go through Loma’s body. They shook him..

Teo throws with spite and venom, and wants to hurt....And can hurt!

Smart money on Loma points..

If Teo lands hard and clean, I go with him via TKO..

Gun to my head? Loma points..

Anyone following Frampton-McGuigan case?

Frampton I’d say could be really regretting this now..

Some of the details coming out of this paint him in a not so nice light..

And he seems to NOT want to take responsibility for his choices and actions!

Admitting to tax evasion wasn't the smartest thing he could have done to be fair.

Frampton definitely being very badly advised so far. Literally seems to have rocked up with zero prep at all. Didn't even know an estimate on the amount of money he was claiming on his first day in court.

Exactly my thoughts..

Very odd..

Watching Jaron Ennis there and very impressed. Would beat plenty of names at 147 already imo. As guaranteed a future P4P star as there is in boxing at the moment for me.

BBC1 10:45 tonight. Life after boxing. Looks like excellent..

It was really, really excellent I thought. Eamonn Magee is a broken man. Must read his book.

I really wish they had made more, I easily could have watched 4/5 episodes like this, ever so slightly rushed.

Dorticos vs Breidis is on Sky Sports this weekend.
Should be an exciting fight. WBSS final.

Dorticos is always fun to watch

fitzparker

Its a great weekend for boxing

2 Charlo Brothers are on Sky Sunday morning

Josh Taylor is back defending the belt

Charlie Edwards going up in weight

and as above the WBSS Final

Butson

How do ye think the Charlo Brothers will go?

Derevyanchenko was very unlucky against GGG. He has miles on the clock though so I'll go with Charlo here.
I think Rosario beats the other Charlo.
