    We are entering a massive massive lul that won't recover for atleast 4 years in my estimations.

    Worst i've seen it in 20 years.

    I feel sad. My body has not had excitment from boxing for a while and it's not coming any time soon.

    At least in the U.S., the absence of a reliable broadcast partner has choked the sport. There's not going to be American talent if no one sees fights or has anything to aspire to. Kids in metro areas who populated boxing in the past probably aren't getting DAZN.

    There is no good reason why fury and AJ haven't signed to fight each other at this point. Benavidez needs to pick what division he wants to fight in and either fight Opetaia or the winner of bivol beterbiev 3. Champions at 168, 160, 147, 140, 135 and 126 need to try and unify to make this sport exciting
