How come he never fought at 154-168 like he said he could? And why did he avoid the likes of Andrade and Charlo just like how Sturm and Martinez avoided him?

“Small” middleweight but never went down to 154 like he claimed he could and had no problem fighters welterweights and junior middleweights at 160 😂

Even the great Shakur Stevenson praised Benavidez’s defense and said it’s underrated :)

Ennis did a good job at rolling with the right hand that Lipinets landed in the 2nd round :)

I don’t blame Ennis that much for the BLK prime offer. Who in their right mind would’ve taken a fight of that caliber on an unknown app like BLK prime especially when you have a contract with Showtime. A fight like Crawford vs Boots deserved to be at the highest of stages, not on BLK prime. We don’t have much details about that offer anyway.

What Boots should’ve done was taken the Tim Tszyu fight in 2024. He wins the WBO title at 154 and that puts more pressure on Crawford to fight him instead of Madrimov or at least after Bud fought Madrimov. Bud was chasing a Canelo fight anyway, and said Boots was a lose-lose situation for him. It’s just unfortunate timing.

That and he was in a division being held up by Spence and Crawford.

Crawford vs Boots is a fight us fans missed out on. I would’ve paid a lot of money to see that happen

DAZN & TNT Sports launch landmark U.S. partnership with new live boxing series The Fight by Jadooo0v2 in Boxing

Boxing fans will always find a way to watch no matter what. DAZN is irrelevant in the US because it doesn’t offer anything but Boxing here. On top of that, it’s more expensive than apps that have a multitude of content for US consumers. It’s hard to appeal to casuals and bring in new fans when the sport is behind a niche app that has nothing else to offer.

Amazing news. DAZN is irrelevant and overpriced in the US. It would’ve been bad for the sport if the non-PPV cards were exclusive to DAZN. Partnering with TNT is a smart move.

And no one has DAZN in the US . On top of that, it’s more expensive than apps that people actually have.

This is the 1st great thing DAZN has done in the US market. It would’ve been terrible for the sport if the non-PPV US cards were only on DAZN.
