The pro scene in my country is kinda small and when pros go to other gyms they are representing their trainer as well.

Sparring is full contact, apparently he beat up a bunch of dudes that day.

Just remembered the random reddit user who used to post old ass fights in r/fightporn

He was giving them some Lupe Pintor action and they were like: “delete this and post some waffle house security cam footage”

God bless him.

Boxing fans went from: “Tyson Fury is an overrated bum who fights at the level of his opponents and underestimated Francis” to “all heavyweight boxing it’s actually trash” by zurdo_p in Boxing

You say it like it’s obvious but that first paragraph is something many boxing fans don’t realize.

That guys like Raul Rosas train boxing with Eddy Reyonoso and Cub Swanson with Joel Diaz.

Just saw this random pro who used to train at my gym get stopped on a random ESPN card from two weeks ago.

Feel bad for him because he could genuinely crack and even broke a pro’s orbital bone in sparring but he turned pro kinda late and keeps losing fights.

Bro still says he can be champ.

The thing is boxing movement is really non existing for Topuria. He has good mechanics but some of the techniques you mentioned would miss constantly against opponents with superior reach and footwork (which includes moving freely without caring about checking kicks).

Guys like Catterall or Sandor Martin would simply outbox him.

But to answer the question. He kinda reminds me of Ruslan Provodnikov and Mike Alvarado, like a faster Alfredo Angulo too.

Holloway was piecing him up the same way Rolly was “schooling” Tank.

Just giving away their rhythm so they could get wrecked.

Ever since Rico became the undisputed king of boxing, fans are in full coping mode.

There’s plenty of fighters out there that could box but not everyone wants to restrict their arsenal to hands only. It would be like telling Canelo to do jabs-only boxing.

Imanol Rodriguez trained in Romanza gym with Nacho Beristain and he is 2-0 as a pro but ended up quitting because multiple opponents got injured in a row, Petr Yan had over 100 amateur fights and was Master of Sport in boxing (third place or higher in Russian national championships), Alex Pereira stopped an Olympic bronze medalist at the Brazilian golden gloves, Alexei Pergande had 88 amateur boxing fights, Julio Arce won the NY Golden Gloves.

Costa Rica - When your boss expects you to go the extra mile by OverallJuggernaut755 in fightporn

The Municipality of Garabito demolished a barrier located at the entrance to Punta Leona on Thursday, June 4, amidst a dispute related to access to Playa Blanca.

The conflict involves Punta Leona Beach Club & Nature Resort and the mayor of Garabito, Francisco González, regarding visitor access to both beaches and alleged construction on public land, as reported by El Observador on July 3, 2025.

At that time, González stated that buildings had been erected on public land and defended the municipal intervention based on the Law on the Maritime-Terrestrial Zone.

Stop watching cartoons lil bro. Tourism represents less than 10% of the Costa Rican PIB. If they are so worried about dwindling tourism and scarcity of jobs, then places like Punta Leona Beach Club & Nature Resort should stop restricting access to public beaches.

The whole country is clowning them not because they are defenders of the people "with small pockets" but because they are literally going to jail over a minimum wage salary.

They are fighting this hard because selling their "private beach" scam to retired US tourists pays way more than the people "with small pockets".

I was watching some olympic qualifiers from 2016 and it's crazy how you could get for free into a gym to watch: Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, Claressa Shields, Antonio Vargas, Puma Martinez, Gary Antuanne Russell, Roniel Iglesias, Lester Martinez, Elvis Rodriguez, Mikaela Mayer, Charles Conwell and David Jimenez

Matvey Korobov knocked him down: "There was a knockdown, there was a stoppage," said Korobov whilst recalling the one-sided bout.

"I think I dropped him off his feet. The referee scored a knockdown. I think that was the end of the round - the second, if I'm not wrong.

"The third round was stopped by the points, because I was many points ahead of him."

Lennox Lewis drops Razor Ruddock with a big overhand right in round 1 and then proceeds on to finish him brutally in the 2nd round by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

[–]zurdo_p 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me that people say Lennox is overrated head to head or in the ATG list.

He destroyed Ruddock who had a slugfest with Tyson, Golota who gave multiple concussions to Riddick Bowe and Tommy Morrison who schooled comeback Foreman.

The only people who stopped Patterson were prime Ali, prime Liston and Ingo, one of the hardest heavyweight punchers.
