Pain Server is taking on Ivan "The Volk" Golub a week from Saturday, headlining a card on CBS SN. Very real shot at the upset here.
Two card shutout (and one point shy from the other judge) for Golub. Hm. Anybody watch? How bad a robbery?
Scene: Lanardo Tyner vs. Cortez Chambliss on October 26 in Detroit In boxing, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. For example, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown. And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently. In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 KOs) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 KOs) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced. This content is protected The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, October 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel. Tickets priced between $180-$25 and are available through Ticketmaster outlets. “He’s trying to bunny hop over me, but he’s not ready,” said an animated Tyner. The 43-year-old is known as a fearless and iron-jawed spoiler. A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep. “I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come thorough.” A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, thus far, as a professional. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene. “This fight is personal to me,” he said. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. For me, it's all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That's what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I'm excited for this opportunity.”
Pain Server taking on yet another young unbeaten Michigan fighter this weekend, 24 year old Isiah Jones, who's 7-0 (3).
Unfortunately, this happened: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/radzhab-yusupovich-the-python-butaev.625650/ ..and in one fell swoop, Lanardo is stricken from the active roster. Good career. Tough dude.
LT looks like Tim Bradley, but older and less alien. They can play the younger/older versions of one another in a biopic.
