Apparently there was some backlash and people suddenly began spouting that they didn't know Bowe shouldn't be fighting. Guess they didn't have eyes or ears... https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/9/...boxing-lamar-odom-next-fight-boxing-news-2021
Thank god about the backlash..despicable fight imo. Since it’s Celebrity boxing, might as well put Nate Robinson vs Lamar Odom I’d cancel the entire event. Nothing to see here.
Jake Paul, annoying scrub to boxing, nothing new. Floyd vs random youtubers, cringe worthy, but whatever. Tyson v Jones Jr, both show clearly there able to fight, and are obviously there for a pay check, fair enough. Holyfield Belfort was the real start to going way over the line, when this fight was announced I was just waiting for a disaster to happen, thank goodness this **** is being stopped. I am now awaiting Douglas v Tyson 2.
I hoped, after the Holyfield debacle,that they might start getting serious about the health of the fighters, this is a good sign.
Man I couldn't decide between sarcasm or straight talk so this is what I'm going with: thank goodness this farce is off. Don't need old men dying in the ring.
Finally some common sense has prevailed. Bowe should never be allowed back in the ring, I can't even imagine why a promoter would risk it, there's no desire from boxing fans to see him fight ever again due to his very obvious and clear damage from his years in the ring and there's a very real risk he could be seriously hurt or even die.
Good thing. Has anyone seen the state of Bowe lately? He looked medically unwell in the 2000s. Another two decades won't have done him any good......
