Welcome combat followers to this Halloween version of Magno’s Bulging Mail Sack the place boxing ignorance will get spooked and boxing unhealthy guys are pressured to be “goblin’” on a stale king-sized Tootsie Roll of fact. This week, we’ve feedback and questions relating to Ryan Garcia vs. Teofimo Lopez, Canelo Alvarez vs. Chris Eubank Jr., and American boxing’s doldrums.
King Ryan vs. Takeover Teo
Hello Magno.
I hope all is nicely in your neck of the woods. I felt compelled to put in writing to you about what I really feel is a standard sense combat to make that’s hardly getting any consideration in any respect. That might be Ryan Garcia vs. Teofimo Lopez. With regards to a giant and doable combat, this one is a no brainer. Simply think about the form of consideration it will generate throughout its construct up? Each of those guys can’t shut up and may’t assist however say issues that outrage and amaze. Within the ring, I additionally assume there’s loads of pleasure there as each have explosive, offense-minded types. Ryan vs. Teofimo could be good enjoyable and it will make some huge cash for each Golden Boy and Prime Rank. What do you consider this combat?
– Bob from PA
Hey Bob.
Teo vs. Ryan would certainly be loopy. I prefer it. It’s the form of combat we want on a sluggish and dullish American combat scene proper now. After all, it couldn’t even be contemplated till after Garcia’s suspension is over in April and, I’d assume, Garcia would take a tune-up combat earlier than taking a giant one like this. However Garcia shouldn’t be “all there,” so he may very well leap right into a Teofimo combat if it had been lined up for him. It does make loads of sense, particularly since Prime Rank and Golden Boy don’t appear to have any plans for both of those guys. And, yeah, the lead-in could be insane– virtually, actually, insane.
Boxing’s Gradual Dying?
Hey Paul.
Is it simply me or has boxing gotten loopy boring these days? There have been some good fights, like Beterbiev-Bivol and Usyk-Fury and I’m entertained whereas they’re on, however the pleasure doesn’t prolong past that second. Nothing in any respect is basically energizing me as a fan and it’s by no means been like that earlier than. I’ve been essentially the most die-hard fan for no less than 20 years and I felt excited to look at the whole lot, from the large exhibits to the small ones, the place I may even see the celebrities of the long run. This 12 months, particularly, I discover myself caring much less and fewer. I’ve spoken to different associates who’re followers they usually really feel the identical approach. I used to have or go to a number of combat events in a 12 months. This 12 months, I’ve been to none. I do know it’s not simply me feeling postpone by boxing. Why do you assume that is and do you see issues altering?
– Cleveland
Hey Cleveland.
You’re undoubtedly not alone. I really feel it too and I hear it incessantly from followers. I believe what you’re feeling comes from the utter terrible nothingness that’s the American boxing scene in the mean time. This 12 months has been lifeless and it’s going to remain lifeless for awhile by the appears of issues. I lay this on the ft of American boxing firms. Prime Rank and Golden Boy are doing nothing however promoting out to Saudi pursuits and PBC is MIA on the subject of showcasing their fighters in precise good fights. It’s irritating and it even dulls my want to comply with the sport– and I make a dwelling from following the game.
As for what might be completed to vary it? Everybody within the boxing enterprise wants to begin being within the enterprise of boxing once more. Make some fucking fights and make fights that matter!
Canelo-Eubank
Hey Paul.
I’ve been studying loads about Canelo Alvarez vs. Chris Eubank Jr. Do you assume it occurs and if it does, how aggressive might or not it’s? I say not very a lot.
– PP
Hey PP.
Let’s not sugar coat it– Canelo-Eubank is a shitty combat. Sadly, it simply stands out as the most bankable combat among the many shitty fights Canelo will take as of late. For those who comply with my work right here, you understand that I’ve been mentioning Eubank as a possible combat for Alvarez for awhile. It simply is smart from Canelo’s perspective. Eubank’s bought some title recognition and combating him affords Canelo the interesting alternative to make his first look within the UK, absorbing the vitality from a packed soccer stadium.
As for the combat, itself? Canelo dominates and sure wins by way of large unanimous resolution. Eubank is simply not that good, not that expert, and never that proficient for a fighter at Canelo’s degree. I’ll say, although, that he’s not fairly as a lot of a hapless fall man as Edgar Berlanga.
