Great night for boxing. Cannot remember the last time a boxing PPV delivered that way tonights card did. All 4 fights ranged from good to great.
John Molina needs to retire. ASAP.
Barrios was lucky to get the decision. I had him losing 7-5 but gaining a draw because of the two knockdowns. But if someone scored it 6-6 and had him winning by virtue of the knockdowns, I'm ok with that. But the judge who gave Barrios 8 rounds filled his scorecard out in Al Haymons hotel room before the fight.
Anthony Dirrell fought a good fight and has nothing to be ashamed of. He showed heart/balls. Benavidez is a bad ass. Dude is so relaxed in there. Almost too relaxed. But once he gets going, he's kind of like a run away train.
Great main event. Shawn Porter is a bad mother fucker. Tough and conditioned as they come. Errol Spence is the truth. But again one judge gave Porter 8 rounds and two judges gave Spence 8 rounds. To my eyes, nobody won 8 rounds in this fight.
Disappointed to see his next fight will be against Danny Garcia and not Manny or Bud Crawford. No surprise it isn't Crawford, but I figured it might be Manny.
I still firmly believe that Crawford is the best welterweight in the world as well as the best p4p fighter on the planet.
Great night for boxing. It's why I've loved this sport since I was a child. Only shame is that with it being ppv, next to nobody saw it.
Caleb Plant, underestimated, will beat Benavidez.
Barrios continued the tradition of Mexican fighters with facial defense.
Manny and Roach laid down the law. They will fight the winner of Spence vs Crawford. Basically, they'll fight Crawford for undisputed. But as we have seen, PBC is putting every road block they can to keep Crawford away from Spence. Too bad Crawford is on the same side of the street with Fury.
Thurman is a h@e. if he had gone to the heavyweight factory in florida and trained his core vs playing injured and hiding from spence, he could have beat spence, given in his best form he is a far superior puncher than porter
Anyway, nice night of fights.
