Nobody cares about Browne vs Chagaev. Both men are not top-20. I favour Browne though against Price and Wilder.
I like Big Daddy and Alex. But it'll be best if Ricky and Noel keep them away from Pulev. They would both get creamed.
He was blind for half the 4th round and the entire 5th round. He got head butted and all the evidence is on video. Browne's own corner admits the head butt Browne landed to fracture his eye socket in between the 3rd and 4th rounds....clearly audible on video.."they said you head butted him" Browne's corner to Browne. Chauncy was the road fighter so the ref and doctor let him go on after an accidental foul. His eye was 100% closed from that foul way before the 4th round ended. If Browne's eye was the one that closed they stop the fight and it is a No Contest. Browne and Welliver took simultaneous cuts from the head butt. Browne took way less damage. Then the pieces of **** calling the fight lie about everything. They do not go to any replays to show where the simultaneous cuts happened. They did not comment at all on what is said by Browne's corner about the head butt that was what caused the cuts. Instead they lie about Browne doing that damage with his hands. And they make fun of a blinded fighter doing what fighters are supposed to do....be willing to fight on. Because those there to protect him were more interested in robbing him and getting Browne that win rather than a No Contest like it should have been. They say he doesn't want to be in the ring.....the guy cannot see. He can't even stand the Dr. pushing on his eye at all after the 5th round with a finger. he took blows on a broken eye socket for 2 f'n rounds while the clowns in the place let a fight go on that should have been stopped. Welliver showed the heart of a true fighter.....the ref asked him about stopping and even though he can't see and is taking a shellacking he says I'm ok 5 times and keeps the 5th round going. To turn that around to him being a coward, not wanting to be there, turning his back for any reason besides being blind....that's all BS. The disgrace in the arean was the ref, the doctor, the announcers, and every mf'r who did not report the fight accurately. Browne landed a vicious head butt to do his damage. Welliver stuck it out way longer than any fighter is expected to go. Because the scum there did not protect him. F You Aussies!
....never threatened browne once, to give him credit tho he did show heart(attack:bbb) , he was wearing to many punches even before his eye got closed, plus I think he was asking for cheeseburgers instead of water inbetween rounds which may of had a factor... in your awesome rants messer you don't think welliver's awesome physique had any factor in the fight ?
Welliver took Solis an easy ten near the same weight. He took all of Browne's punches and a bunch of them without being able to see them in the 4th and 5th. If his eye stays open he stays in the fight the whole way. Would he have been better off over the long haul to be lighter....yes. Did weight have any impact over the short term of the bout....not much if at all. A head butt decided this fight, fact of the matter.
There are two fights we're highly unlikely to see. Browne V Joshua and Browne V Joseph Parker. Hopefully Hatton throws Lucas in at the deep end.
Browne vs Joshua Browne vs Briggs Browne vs Chagaev Browne vs Parker Browne vs Price Browne vs Andy Ruiz Jr. Browne vs Luiz Ortiz All of them fights that make sense and I'd be glad to watch.
:good They have two common opponents: Gavern (Browne TKO3; Ustinov KO7) Welliver (Browne RTD5; Ustinov UD8.) Even though Browne has outshone him in terms of results, I favor Ustinov head to head in what might be a come-from-behind stoppage.
:good Hope this fight comes to fruition. Doesn't seem like Browne is the kind of guy to duck anybody, if Ustinovs people give him a reasonable offer I'm sure he'll accept.
Is there any past business relationship between Hatton & Hrunov working together on co-promotion? I know they came near working together before once, during Hatton's brief comeback in the ring. (his originally intended opponent was actually Khabib Allakhverdiev, not Vyacheslav Senchenko) Obviously that didn't pan out - were there any hard feelings or was it just logistics?
