Some big news today: Lomachenko-Walters set for November 26th

Lomachenko - Walters is finally a go Nov. 26th at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas. Great fight, one of the best you can make. Loma is probably a Top 5 talent waiting to make his claim as the best in the world, and Walters is a Top 15-20 type fighter with some huge wins. Cannot wait!

Joshua-Klitschko in November? It's possible

Klitschko-Joshua probably wont legitimately happen until Spring-Summer '17, which is completely understandable with how fucking huge this fight would be. It would be a major heavyweight fight that hasn't been seen in quite some time. It should draw pretty large interest even over here & could propel Joshua into massive superstardom as boxing's hands down biggest draw. There is some whispers of potential Nov. 26th in the UK, which would be incredibly shocking & probably a poor idea with not having a full scale marketing season for it.

Love that Loma fight.. That's awesome!!! Can't wait man.

I hope Wlad-Joshua happens then the winner should fight Wilder.

I would almost be "too" happy with boxing. I don't even know what that would feel like...

Yeah that dude is a mess. A shame. He is gonna miss some huge paydays.

There was talk from thaboxingvoice & UCN that Klitschko-Joshua was official for November. Haven't heard anything I'd completely trust yet, but I am excited.

Salido vs. Miura is a go though in Dec. Should be an absolute war.

Guy just kills me, then recently on his Twitter feed he has a video montage of people being "racist" to him because he is a Gyspy, shit is fucking hilarious.

Best troll in sports, by far.

Didn't buy, caught a really solid acestream though.

Was honestly a really entertaining fight. Vargas showed a lot of heart, especially rocking Pacquiao a few times in the mid rounds. Vargas has definitely stepped up in quality as his overhand right has developed. At the end I had it 117-111 with Pacquiao (he did win). One knockdown by Pacquiao in the 2nd. Really solid scrap.

I did miss Donaire vs. Magdaleno, Magdaleno beat Donaire. Donaire was a really solid fighter in his prime, but always a tad overrated. Pugilist "analysts" tend to always fall a little too head over heels for the really small guys. They mistake output for "talent" sometimes. Oscar Valdez won against a solid opponent and keeps looking really good. Would love to see him against the Frampton's/Quigg's/Santa Cruz's soon.

Pacquiao is going to keep actively fighting. A lot of talk around Crawford, Lomachenko & the forever-whispers of Money vs. Pacquiao 2. I'm cool with any options. Still have him 4th P4P behind only GGG, Ward, Kovalev currently (just wanna see Loma keep fighting more, guy has all the talent in the world.

An absolutely MASSIVE fight coming in two weeks. Literally the best fight you can make in boxing from a skill perspective, maybe only equaled by Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux. 10000000000% buying Ward vs. Kovalev!

Luis Ortiz is about to fight Maik Scott. Really shouldnt be a tough fight for Ortiz. I expect him to annihilate him as Ortiz may be the truly best heavyweight in the world with all his career experience and Cuban amateur pedigree.

oh God, an awful fight.

Somehow Scott went 12 with Ortiz... Definitely soured on Ortiz a little there. I think Fury beats him because of his long defensive style. If Wilder & Joshua fight smart and wait 6-7 rounds, I think they beat him also.

Who you picking this weekend? I think Kovalev gets it done. As long as he fights like he did vrs Hopkins. He's really good at walking guys down and cutting the ring off, I'm not sure Ward can take his power either. It's so hard to call because you just just as easily see Ward box brilliantly and totally neutralize him but I don't know. Kovalev seems like the type that will take a punch to land his this fight.

After watching the Chilemba fight Kovalev just had and watching how easily Ward handled Sullivan Barrera (undefeated really solid Cuban amateur who had 300+ fights), I think Ward will win this fight. Kovalev has an absolute shot and I would not be surprised to see him win, he is that good. I just think Ward is an absolute savant. I think he'll make Kovalev fight off his back foot and put his head into Kovalev's chest the whole night.

I am beyond ready for this fight. It's huge, sadly it's not getting the attention it deserves. These guys are Masterclass fighters!
