What is your experience managing professional boxers? Or something similar?

I thought you were dead. I should probably answer you in private.

I was dead. Deleted most of my posts. Long story. Anyway, like Jesus, I am back from the dead. I can't do any other cool stuff though, like changing water into wine.

Are you going to the fight tomorrow? I didn't even consider it. I was there for Alvarez/Khan. I'll be at the September Alvarez fight and for Mayweather/McGregor if it ever happens.

No, didn't even think about going. Bought the PPV, against my better judgment...and FELL ASLEEP! At least the GGG announcement was interesting.

Next fight i'm going to is Terrance Crawford in NYC. He's super-talented and i like his attitude. He's not playing.

Damn, that shit did not work out for me on the Alvarez/Chavez fight... just couldn't get myself to hedge with Alvarez straight win @ -500, so I gambled with the bets I described...

To recuperate from my loss, I've been watching clips of GGG speaking his unique brand of English on youtube clips... Hope that the beating Canelo put on Chavez is gonna sway all the Mexican money for some relatively favorable odds.

Man, they already got some lines on the GGG/Canelo fight. -180 Golovkin/+140 Alvarez. Obviously GGG didn't look as dominant against Jacobs, but maybe this is an overreaction to the pounding that Canelo gave Chavez Jr. earlier this month. Looks like a great bet to me, I'm in.

It looks like the McGregor/Mayweather fight is official -- August 26. I'm going!

Quoting myself from this thread about Mayweather v McGregor.

Quote:The only way this would be interesting is if halfway through the fight it switched to MMA rules. That way Mayweather had to try to end the fight in 6 rounds or McGregor would wreck him once it hit MMA rules.

Mayweather is going to win handly by just doing why he always does. Technical, defensive and counter punch boxing. It will be a boring fight. It will be a positive for McGregor if he gets a solid hit and hurts Mayweather a little. Wouldn't be surprised if he DQs from the rule differences though

The event on Aug 26th is more of a spectacle...though I would love to take an MMA fans bread
The REAL fight is June 17th - Ward v. Kovalev 2
or even GGG v Canelo

Both will be fight of the year candidates

Was it just me, or did Ward keep hitting Kovalev low, and ref Tony Weeks ignored it?

It was borderline. The ref could have given Kovalev 5 minutes to recover.

Would it have changed the outcome of the fight? Probably not, Ward would have won the latest rounds as Kovalev was getting exhausted.

I still think Kovalev got robbed in the 1st fight however, so it should be 1-1.

It's not the end for the Krusher, there's still plenty of interesting fights left for him (Stevenson, Beterbiev, Alvarez), and he would probably beat all of them.

A Kovalev/Beterbiev fight would sell really well in Russia, and would be really nice to watch.
