Welcome to a different version of Magno’s Bulging Mail Sack, a Thursday custom right here at Battle Hype that routinely rattles cages, rocks boats, and approach too usually hurts powerful guys’ emotions. This week, we now have feedback/questions relating to Fury-Ngannou and the futures of Jermell Charlo and Tim Tszyu.
Fury-Ngannou
Hello Paul.
So…Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou? Is that this some kind of bizarre dream? Let’s hear your tackle this monstrosity and please don’t maintain again.
– Sam B.
Hey Sam.
I can’t say I used to be all that stunned by the Fury-Ngannou announcement. For me, making that battle was at all times a matter of Fury believing he may get away with it. Clearly, he CAN. I blame that on the followers who’ve enabled Fury and have allowed him to get away with quite a lot of shit different fighters wouldn’t have been capable of get away with, such because the failed doping check, a number of retirements, and the entire circus he’s created each time he’s anticipated to battle. I particularly blame the “purists” who’ve bent over backwards to embrace him and have given him continuous digital tossed salads for years. After all, the man goes to really feel entitled to do regardless of the hell he desires. This should really feel like a firecracker up the dick gap to these “purists.”
I truthfully would not have any drawback with Fury taking a foolish cash battle like this, if it wasn’t occurring after that Derek Chisora cash seize and INSTEAD of fights with Usyk and Joshua. This isn’t like Mayweather-McGregor, the place Mayweather was already retired. Fury is smack dab in the course of his title reign and this battle will maintain “actual” fights up. Yeah, yeah…in line with the WBC and the Fury die-hards, he “tried” to make fights with Usyk, Joshua, and even Andy Ruiz. Nicely, he clearly didn’t attempt arduous enough– most probably as a result of this Ngannou silliness was at all times on the again burner.
I’m not a fan of ANY battle being funded by Saudi blood cash, however there’s nothing I can do to cease fighters from wanting these huge payouts. Prefer it or not, this battle will do big enterprise and draw quite a lot of consideration. I don’t wish to see individuals do their sanctimonious “I gained’t be watching” play-acting. After all, everyone can be watching. And, yeah, I’ll be writing about it. However it’s not good.
Tszyu Transferring Ahead and the Jermell Win-Win
Hey Paul.
Hope all is nicely.
Now that Jermell Charlo is about to battle Canelo, what path do you see Tim Tszyu taking? Tim isn’t one to sit down idle. I have not seen something within the media relating to his plan. I simply began actually paying shut consideration to him a 12 months in the past. I really just like the man. I like the truth that he retains busy, and with strong competitors. And he isn’t missing within the confidence division. I can solely think about how tough it’s to comply with in his father’s (Kostya) footstep.
Brian Castano can be a very good check. Possibly even Erickson Lubin or Fundora. I actually do not see him shifting up simply but. If Charlo relinquishes the belts he might stick round to attempt to unify. Nevertheless Jermell is in a win-win scenario. If he loses to Canelo he’ll get a go for shifting up two weight courses to problem him. Or he may transfer again all the way down to defend his belts. If he wins, he’s undisputed in two weight courses, all whereas receiving the largest payday of his profession.
From a administration standpoint, I believe this was at all times part of Al Haymon’s plan for the Charlo twins and Errol Spence. That means, at all times having them transfer up whereas by no means competing in the identical weight class.
Simply wished to know what you assume.
Regards,
– Reggie Cannon
Hey Reggie.
I assume quite a bit will rely upon what the sanctioning our bodies determine to do. They haven’t mentioned something but about stripping Jermell for shifting as much as battle Canelo, so he might have the choice to maneuver again down and defend his belts it doesn’t matter what occurs on September 30. My guess is that, ought to he lose to Canelo, Charlo might attempt to make his approach again to 154. Historical past exhibits us, although, that shifting all the way down to revisit a championship run doesn’t often work out nicely.
As for Tszyu, he’s in a great place. He has the interim WBO 154 lb. title, star energy in his native Australia, and a rising profile on the world stage. He’s going to make a shit-ton of cash and have leverage over anybody he chooses to battle, apart from Jermell. If Charlo doesn’t come again down, he’ll begin the lengthy chase of re-unifying these titles. Castano can be a very good check, as would Lubin and Fundora. There’ll be quite a bit for Tszyu to do if Charlo stays on the increased weight. So long as he retains his focus, he’s obtained a very good, prolonged profession forward of him.
