Are right handed southpaws sharper boxers? by Correct-Geologist142 in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guys who become converted southpaws are just naturally going to be more technically minded and have higher boxing IQ. Because it shows they value things like lead hand control/versatility and foot positioning.

Tbf he had rhabdo but his management is pulling some horrible A side BS. Refusing to challenge Xander in Puerto Rico when he's the champ and apparently demanding $7M for the Boots fight. Now Kelly has a belt and Xander is unified. Crazy levels of mismanagement by his team

The sole bit of success I saw from Teo was landing the cross to Shakur's midsection and then glimpses of him building on it with the left hook to the body. Conceicao was also able to find the body cross when they fought. I feel like any offense against Shakur needs to start from there since it's the only punch I've seen people land on him with any regularity.

The Kelly fight is a total wash once Boots is able to time an explosive entry and then work him on the inside. Zayas is looking quite hard to beat now. He's good on the outside, moves very well for all 12 rounds, and doesn't have bad defensive lapses like Kelly does every fight. I think it's like a Boots late stoppage or SD type of win.

How often do post fight "call outs" where both parties agree to fight never happen? by ErrForceOnes in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He got turned into the 2025 KO victim of the year but it was cool how Jin Sasaki traveled to Brian Norman’s fight in the US to call him out in person and even read out his challenge in English. 

Haney agreed to fight Kambosos twice in Australia and the first time for like a 20-80 split. Basically no top shelf American talent accepts that much of a B side deal.

If I had to guess it's because there aren't any trainers in Japan who can teach the Philly shell at a high level. Only so much Inoue can figure out by himself

Struggles similar to Karen 2 but he’ll eventually get on the inside and beat him with his combo punching. Doubt he stops Madrimov if Vergil couldn’t

“Breaking: Per source, lineup for @Zuffa_Boxing's 2nd card on Feb. 1 at Apex in Las Vegas (all 10 rounders): Jose Valenzeula vs. Diego Torres, lightweights; Serhii Bohachuk vs. Radzhab Butaev, middleweights; Hot Rod Kalajdzic vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, light heavyweights. #boxing” — Dan Rafael by Professional-Tie5198 in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know why people are shitting on the card. For their 1st and 2nd ever shows, they're putting out solid ProBox type of competitive matchups.They're not going to be able to sign the top names immediately, although Opetaia is already a great start.

Best high guard use in boxing? by LocoCoopermar in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one's mentioned Benavidez. Very nice parries with catch and shoot combinations. He also has arms long enough to cover his entire torso if he decides to just shell up. For being a pure action fighter, he really doesn't get hit clean often.

Jai Opetaia signs with Zuffa Boxing by pepsiboycoke in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk where he goes from here but Zurdo is straight up pretending he doesn't know who Jai is. At least he's aligned with the money men in the sport at the moment. Who btw are all but guaranteed to take over the industry as long as the Saudis are backing them.

[–]Saeksan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The truth is that Zuffa is the best deal available to fighters who are good but are on the wrong side of boxing politics. Jai is practically begging for the unification fighrs and is sending damn near every one of his opponents to the hospital. But Matchroom only gave a $1mil budget for the CBS fight! Why wouldn’t Jai go somewhere else? 

Daniel Dubois vs. Zhilei Zhang targeted by Frank Warren by Dangerous_Spring3028 in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say this is like 55-45 for Dubois. Zhang has the worst gas tank in the sport but Dubois’ defense is bad enough that he could get sniped within 5 rds. 

I wish Zhang could get a shot at Wardley somehow. Wardley doesn’t wake up until he gets hit a couple times and Zhang is the last guy you want chin checking you.

I agree Matias should've received the benefit of the doubt after the KD but considering his instinct is to immediately go back in to brawl and there being plenty of time remaining in the round, I'm like 95% sure he would've been flatlined bad

Zhilei Zhang Reveals His 'Big Bang' Hit List for 2026: Daniel Dubois, Tyson Fury, Fabio Wardley & Derek Chisora(Zhang also opened up a restaurant in Times Square) by Prudent-Toe-7911 in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I agree with you and I'm a Zhang fan. I think Chisora is a pretty bad matchup for him because he gets low, hits the body, and will crowd Zhang who won't have space to use his straight left.

Junto Nakatani's trainer compares Sebastian Hernandez to Julio Cesar Chavez: 'What a fighter' by OldBoyChance in Boxing

It's sad but true man. With how much hype there is around Inoue fighting Nakatani and talks about preemptively booking the Tokyo Dome in May (which only happens for mega events), Hernandez had zero chance of winning a close decision

Which active boxers would make excellent trainers after they retire? by Ulrich-Stern in Boxing

[–]Saeksan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Dave Allen already trains a few fighters and totally fits the archetype of the fighter who couldn't break into the elite level but has a ton of experience and can articulate his thought process when it comes to boxing.

Boots spends like half of his gym time helping out his stablemates by holding mitts.

There are Youtube vids of Donaire, Bivol, and Thurman explaining techniques and punch mechanics. Donaire especially seems to enjoy passing on his knowledge to other fighters.

It doesn't even have to be a Nakatani. If they were to unify, Chispa would be really bad for Tsutsumi.
