    Honestly getting a bit disillusioned with boxing right now. Only fight im looking forward to is ward vs kovalev, i cant think of any others that get me excited. The Olympics were a shambles, canelo ducked GGG, fury vs wlad is off, wilder is looking to avoid povetkin until they rebuild the Berlin wall and we rarely see the best fight the best.

    Can anyone else think of anything to look forward too?

    I was thinking that as i was writing the post, yes that's something else to look forward too, but usyk lately has been frustrating me by moving kinda slowly

    :rofl I will give Wilder the benefit of the doubt because he is injured. No one called Povetkin a coward when he called the fight off the first time due to injury. The second time was his fault too. Lay off them roids Povetkin, you flabby, sick, doughboy body, maggot.

    I'm looking forward to Usyk vs Glowacki and Gonzalez vs Cuadras. Ooh, I hadn't even heard about Estrada vs Ioka. WBA is ordering it to purse bid, probably going down in October. Karass vs Kamegai are two action fighters, so that will be good. And I'll have to watch Pacquiao, just because he's still so good and must see tv.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Wilder do the chicken dance. He's a nice guy and all, but it will be poetic justice.

    We'll rather see hell freeze over than Wilder's handlers signing Ortiz. Won't happen.
