The WBSS is ****ing brilliant. It’s a shame that most American fighters don’t sign up to it due to network politics.
We all need to calm down and brave ourselves for the big one, were this week we get to see the legends that are KSI and Logan Paul battle it out for the internet world championship. Surprised it's not been sanctioned by the WBA and WBC lol. @Jurgen you need to take some deep breaths, kalms and valium to survive this PPV. When I seen it, my first thought was Smith & Hearn were trying to push you over the edge mate. Stay strong, you need to see Liverpool lift that title mate.
I have an allergy to Box Office Buttons in general mate. I did go down by the river and watched the 1st KSI v Pope John Paul fight - it was like watching 2 Freddie Flintoffs but it was a cracking fight if you set aside the zero skill set. The main event will probably be a decent fight with 2 stinkers on the undercard. There was water everywhere the night of the first fight and it must have set a World record for free streaming.
There have been some great fights these past couple of months, each one topping and being better than previous. First Porter vs Spence, then the GGG fight, then Ritson vs Davies Jr, then Taylor vs Progais and now the best of the lot in Inoue vs Donnaire.
Fantastic fight from both.both were hurt, bad cuts ,knockdown. Back and forth action technically good to watch not bad for a Thursday afternoon .
In hindsight Framptons win is all the more impressive, quite a few people I used to work with dismissed it at the time but Donaire is a quality fighter, even at what is probably the end of his career.
I think its helped Donaire moving back to his career best weight category. His loss today to Inoue in his first at that weight also.
I guess he's glad he did retire now. What I already thought I saw from Donaire in the Burnett fight, he repeated in this one and strengthens my believe that he was taking over after 1 and 2, even without the injury. He is too tough, hits too hard and times that left hook after a couple of rounds. Then there's Inoue, against which you need massive power to keep him honest and not just walk right trough you. Tete would have a somewhat decent chance, Nery would too, but Burnett doesn't imo.
That was a great fight, I didn't think donaire had that left in him after not being that impressive in recent years, I guess fighting back at this weight and the new trainer has made a big difference. I was very impressed with inoue as well seen as he has been destroying guys in double quick time he showed he's more than just a puncher, he's got great skills and a chin.
