    I always wanted my best friend to become a boxing fan, so I told him about GGG vs Canelo rivalry and just in 2 days he watched first, second match and also some documentaries about GGG. I liked how he scored their bouts, 1 he gave to Gennadiy, second even ot 7-5 to either fighter. He was hyped and ready to get up at 4:00 despite having 2 babies, so we both could watch it live and score rounds per whatsapp. You know the rest, the fight sucked ass, he even said it looked staged...

    I am not a conspiracy theorists, but I find it really weird that its the second fight (after Kovalev), where not in his prime, but still dangerous puncher throws almost no power punches. The fight looked really weird, both fighters talked all that big ****, GGG had huge opportunity to become 2 division champion and revenge last battles, but he took 0 risks and Saul could really turn heat up and get this version of GGG out, but he didnt try either. After the fight both looked really happy with the outcome.

    "Everything is known in comparison", remember JMM vs Pac IV? Yeah, the age difference wasnt as big, but still JMM was old as **** for his weight class, was 3 times slower than Pac and still had ****ing sheer willpower and warrior spirit to endure and KTFO The Legend.

    Long story short, what next fight could be a banger so my friend could revive his interest in boxing?

    If Fury-Joshua and Crawford-Spence don't get him interested then he's not into boxing.

    Turn him onto the November first card Kyoguchi vs Teraji. The fight will be great and has a co-main guaranteed to be fireworks, Yoshino Shuichiro vs Masayoshi Nakatani

    Instead of showing him the biggest fights to get him into boxing, introduce him to the characters in boxing, and show which fights are thought to be guaranteed to be exciting.

    I agree, even if Fury vs Joshua doesnt deliver, Joshua's post fight interview should be on separate ppv.
