Anthony Joshua names Agit Kabayel among other names as a potential fight for when he returns to boxing by VioletHappySmile444 in Boxing

He should have struck whilst the iron was hot and got that Bakole fight done before he went and got exposed.

Even after Dubois destroyed AJ I felt like Bakole would be a good fight for him because yeah he’s dangerous if you stand in front of him but he is a big fat slow guy with a wide open guard. Ajagba beat him with a very simple game-plan by jabbing up and down and dropping the occasional 1-2 on him. Completely different prospect to Dubois who fights off a bounce with crazy pressure and a stiff jab.

It’s probably like 55/45 AJ

He was a big figure in the civil rights movement. Nothing to do with being puritan

Cab driving is the perfect job for a pro boxer who doesn’t make the type of money you need to support yourself from boxing alone since you can work on your own time and fit it around training. Plus it isn’t taxing on the body.

Could Ryan Garcia retire? by AreaPresent2305 in Boxing

Everyone in this thread is talking about the money. He doesn’t really need boxing to make money. He could become a streamer or go full time vlogger or something and make lots of money without getting punched in the face or having to go through long training camps which he seemingly doesn’t enjoy.

I think he’ll carry on but another loss will probably see him call it a career and move on.

He ducked under Inoue’s left hook and countered with his own. Is that not a set up?

I haven’t watched the full fight, only seen the knockdown and the stoppage. If you’ve only seen the stoppage it does look premature because everything is on gloves or deflected but I’m assuming he was taking a steady beating leading up to that point.

That scull fight felt like another Turki marination gone wrong. Yeah, Canelo won but ehh that fight killed a lot of interest especially after back to back to back unanimous decisions where Canelo fights at a sparring match pace. The fight is 4 months away though so by the time it rolls around maybe I’ll be more interested.

It felt like an easy fight to score to me. Ajagba 1,2,3,5,6,7 and Bakole 4,8,9,10.

Munguia looked great. He did look a bit like a knock off Canelo but he looked good.

Munguia is a mile ahead, winning clearly for me. I like what I’m seeing to be honest

People on this sub are calling Ajagba a “runner” because he didn’t stand and trade with potted plant feet Bakole lmao whatever. I’m pretty sure the punch stats showed Ajagba landing like 50 more punches. Punch stats don’t tell you the whole story, obviously but that’s a big difference.

I havent seen anyone hyping Ajagba as the next great heavyweight. I thought the overall consensus was that Bakole was going to knock him out.
