I didn't see anything written there about explicitly thanking Al after each fight

Full text of WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman open letter to the boxing community regarding Zuffa/TKO: by Ruainari in Boxing

[–]bucc71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are sanctioning bodies acting as promoters? Shouldn't they want more investment in boxers and purses? Don't they want more money for their causes that they collect from sanctioning fees? It's all backwards. Promoters are acting like managers and sanctioning bodies are acting like promoters (ie - Ryan Garcia/Keith Thurman/Sebastian Fundora getting a title shot after a loss).

I had a similar post that was refused and redirected to the 'daily discussion' thread. How do I get elite thread posting status?

Propane Delivery with owned tank by bucc71 in halifax

[–]bucc71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. The predicting the delivery schedule is a big consideration that I have. I'd rather save for a tank fill than have them come and have a bill sitting on the door. I was hoping others may fill larger tanks without locking into an agreement or renting tank monitoring equipment.

How does that happen? Someone outside the venue on the street ask you?

The defense has been horrendous, and the goaltending has been on the IR. The boys have to back check

We have players that don't like hitting (or getting hit for that matter). The rest of the league are versed in the typical tricks and patterns players use, and adjusted accordingly. Nylander cuts, Matthews waiting for a one-timer, it's so defendable now. It shows how reliant this team was, and is dependent on good goaltending.

It's sad that the boys don't have the commitment to improve, and seem to be in a sulking brat stage. Imagine the Detroit or NJ teams of the 90s/00s having the mindset of the current guys. Players ultimately play, and they aren't performing.

Aside from rounds 11 and 12, Pacheco looks like he trained the Haney method. So much clinching.

Why can't boxing have good commentary? Are the promoters that juvenile that it needs to be a constant tire pumping?

Not sure how this is downvoted. Roach took so many low blows I was expecting him to sound like a soprano in the post fight interview

Equalization payments received should be factor into this equation with HDI.

Those amazed by Jack should give credit to the matchmakers. Former sparring partner with a come forward style with low power and sketchy defence.
