WSB (World Series of Boxing) - Season 3 ***Champions: Kazakhstan Astana Arlans***

^^^ Makes sense. Those look like big gloves to my untrained eye.


On a side note; The front page confirmed the GBR got the third spot over UKR??? A match up with top seeded AZB is a tough ask for UKR. Two of their three best weightclasses will be underdogs. You have to favor AZB's middleweight regardless of how well UKR's rep did against him the first time around and putting Usyk in against Mezhidov will be difficult. Basically UKR MUST win at lightheavyweight to have a shot.

Probably the two best squads in the WSB meeting in the first round...

 

So i finally read why the UK finished 3rd and its utter bull****. Ukraine vs USA last week was postponed because Ukraine needed visas in addition to just passports and team USA offered zero assistance in this matter. The WSB recently changed it from delayed to canceled and scored it as a forfeit for Ukraine which means they get 3 points deducted from their total point score. Germany actually could have finished ahead of Ukraine because of this bull**** but fortunately Kazakhstan beat them 4-1.

I hope Ukraine protests this, gets their 3 points back along with 3rd place. They shouldn't be penalized for it and even with one less event they still have more wins and points than UK. Also can't help but notice that Kaz, Ukr, Azj, Rus are all facing eachother in the first round which also ensures only one can reach the finals. How ****ing convenient for Italy and UK.

Why do you have to favor Musalov over Mytrofanov/Golub? Having seen them all box i wouldn't.

 

It was the second time he fought Maxwell, and the second time he won every round. Maxwell came to survive. He fought with a sparring partner mentality.

 

just got home from the event at york hall!!! i tell you what ukrainian fans were crazy and made a very loud and joyful atmosphere, there was a lot more ukrainians in the building than english people... a fight kicked off when one of the fights was going on lol!!! Lomachenko looks a lot quicker in real life than on telly and usyk is very very quick for a heavy!!!! defo worth the drive there and back!!! :bbb

 

Sorry; I screwed up. The middleweight I was thinking of fights for KAZ(I think) not AZE. It is not so much that I am enamored with him but the judges seem to be. So many fighters from over there it is hard for me to keep them all sorted out.


Too bad for Team UKR, losing those points over that technicality. They should have just all worn Sombraro's and U.S. customs would have let them in no questions asked!

 

The WSB of boxing seems to be gaining popularity, at least in comparison to the last couple of seasons imo. There's more franchises than before, bigger crowds, and I see a lot more info about it on the internet. Good stuff.

I missed tonight fights, but the WSB channel on youtube has them already posted up, looking forward to giving them a watch later. They sound like *******s:thumbsup

 

Thanks

I thought that cheeky ******* looked familiar. Loma had him visibly shaken in their first fight if I recall.

 

just reading that The USA v Italy will have no tv coverage.
From Rich Marcotta's twitter, "Interesting drama in Reno following cancellation of USA-Italy TV at last min. Fites delayed an hour to get TV truck 2 send feed out."

**** sake!

 

Was the fight during the 1st fight with Fred Evans fight when he gave Dmytro Mytrofanov a headbutt then the guy tried to throw the chair into the ring? Did anything kick off after?

I was so surprised with the amount of Ukrainians there, I never knew there were so much in London.

 

yeh i think it was during the 1st fight but i duno why it kicked off as i was taking pictures through out the night but the game that kicked off got a bit off a bloody lip when he came back after it all calmed down!!! yeh there are quite a few of them, some of them were students and some were probably from russia and lithuania as well!!! but the created such an amazing atmosphere it was like ukrainians were fighting at home and brits away!!! Lomachenko did come to the ring towards the end of the Usyk fight but i couldnt get a good picture of him as my camera died and iphone zoom is **** so it ****ed up the pic!!! Barry mcuiggan (duno how to spell his name) was in the house as well he sat two seats away from me and another british boxer he sat two seats to the left of me but i didnt know his name

 

The matches between Italia thunder and USA knockouts are up on the WSB youtube channel is anyone wants to have a look. I dont think they was aired on tv because of some problem or another.
