    I missed it but there's plenty of buzz, caught the replays on thr YouTube channel.

    The Martinez fight, how did you guys have it?

    How did Lara look, no highlights were up?

    Shall rolly go down as the worst "champion" in recent memory?

    How was the broadcast on Amazon, just like pbc on sho and fox or was it any different?

    Does it seem like there's a good future for boxing on Amazon?

    Lara looked the same as in his last few fights and pretty good for a man his age. But! It has to be noted that Zerafa barely tested him at all. There was an enormous gap in talent and skill.

    It was a one shot KO. Zerafa ate a counter left and could not continue. Almost got his light put out.

    Tim Tszyu beat Brian Mendoza.
    Brian Mendoza beat Sebastian Fundora.
    Sebastian Fundora beat Tim Tszyu.
    Only in boxing...


    What a bloody fight. i suspected the big guy would win. He learned a valuable lesson from his loss: Use your gifts... ALWAYS "fight tall". The Towering Inferno did so, and even though Tszyu had a 47% in power-punches, he still lost.

    March 30th 2024 made history for the Fundora siblings.

    It was basically a Showtime broadcast minus Al Bernstein and with Jordan Plant and Claudia Trejo replacing Jim Grey.

    As usual PBC cards are heavily stacked w exciting but predictable outcomes...however, the main event def went awry but the late replacement and cut likely played a large role

    I thought Jordan Plant wasn't very good, I thought Claudia Trejo was great

    He should have been able to take that in my opinion, he acted like he’d been in a 12 round war grabbing the ropes with both hands, he gave up in my opinion. It wasn’t that heavy a shot

    Jordan Plant **** me off with the post fight interview. Guys talk a lot of trash leading up to a fight. Romero was trying to sell the fight because this was a PPV after all.

    The stupid question she asked Romero after he had his brain rattled was poor taste and amateurish.

    Jordan probed Romero whether he had underestimated Cruz. In response, the former WBA super lightweight champion firmly stated, “Nah, I worked hard.” It seemingly prompted Jordan to follow up, “I didn’t say you didn’t work hard. But you did say he is going to be easy to hit. And I do think you took more punches than you thought you would. So, what went wrong during this fight?


    The statement from Jordan seemed to have left Rolly Romero speechless, he simply ignored the question and addressed the audience. “I want to tell everybody, thank you for coming out. Honestly, happy Easter everybody.” Romero clearly looked dazed after the knockout. As he tried to put his words together, he added, “… It’s like Jesus was resurrected, I’ll be back. I want to tell everybody, happy Easter and thank you for supporting me and following me.”

    What can't be convey was the tone and the way she said it.
