    Three great, 50-50 fights coming up in the next few months. The winner of each is most likely at the head of their division. There are FIVE, count em, FIVE out of SIX fighters with 0's in these bouts.

    This is the real deal!

    We usually only see one of these a year. It's about to be a good time to be a boxing fan. :happy

    Don't forget Crawford vs Postol this weekend to see who's #1 at 140 lbs. Both of them are 28-0 too. Roman Gonzalez 45-0 vs Carlos Cuadras 35-0-1 at super flyweight is another great fight between unbeaten fighters at the top of their divisions. If it weren't for rising star Naoya Inoue being in the mix, Cuadras would probably be considered the most dangerous man at superfly.

    Its not Glowacko you Wacko, its unfortunate you feel that way, because it'll most likely be the best match of the 3.

    Nobody saw The Tree Of Life either but that didn't keep it from being the best film of 2011.

    Odd so few care about Glowacki-Usyk, because if Usyk wins he becomes the fastest to win a title at cruiserweight, beating Evander Holyfield's mark. I like the fight a lot, personally. Cruiserweights are a better breed than the heavyweights--more athletic, quicker, overall in better shape, and still possess the capability to end a fight suddenly.

    Usyk will have his coming out party against Glowacki. The guy is a P4P talent and anyone not excited to see him fight is just clueless, dumb or a flat out bigot.

    Should be funny reading all the butthurt from the usual suspects after Usyk breaks Holyfields CW record for earliest title.

    That's what most shallow people say.:yep

    But seriously... I think its probably one of the best movies of the 2000's thus far, it enrages me that people don't get that movie, although I had the same reaction back in 99 when people didn't get Eyes Wide Shut.:-(

    Co-signed.
    No, that's just what people who can't even spell m-o-v-i-e like Badbot say. However, I do not sign off on Eyes Wide Shut being a good movie. I own it because it's Kubrick, but it is still boring if elegantly made.

    2014 The Raid 2, Edge of Tomorrow, Birdman, Gone Girl, What We Do In the Shadows

    These modern broken records are such bull****. Evander Holyfield was like 20 when he won the title compared to Usyk who's like 30 and had a million ammy fights. It ain't the same damn thing by a country mile. Just like Lomachenko winning a title in three fights isn't the same when he's had a bajillion ammy fights and is like 28. Tony Canzoneri was a champ with almost no amateur experience when there was only one title and he was 18. Or that **** about Pacquiao being the only 8 weight champ. **** out of here! Everyone is a ****in' eight weight champ now that there are fifty divisions and ten belts.
