I saw a thread on a boxing forum I go to on who will take over as the next great Filipino fighter.

Forget about looking for another Pacquiao, it won’t happen. Pacquiao was a once in a lifetime talent.

I’ll revisit this post after 20 years when someone here gives birth to a Manny Pacquiao V2 just to say: “YA’ JINXED IT!!!”

Sadly, we currently live in a dark phase of boxing where the Paul brothers are the relevant figures of that sport.

What do you think of Roy Jones Jr. winning a title at HW? I think it’s a great accomplishment. After all, he was the first fighter in a century to win titles at middleweight all the way to heavyweight. That said, there’s a reason Roy fought Ruiz instead of Lewis or even Byrd.

The best highlights of the main event is when Volkanovski escsped Ortega’s submission TWICE in the first round.

Volkanovski is just straight up MADLAD. Hoooly shit. I swear to god I thought he was done for, but no. He slipped out of three sub attempts and went on to win the match. Man, that musta been depressing for Ortega.

Volks victory over Max Holloway back then was what made me a fan of him. NOW? I’m a bigger fan.

not in the first round. Imma watch it again. but for sure two in the first round that was really bad.

I was expecting a 1st round submission that’s for certain. Volks’ face was red and everything.

Yeah I forgot to edit that out it’s was on the third round. Volk said that his title flashed before his eyes when that guillotine latched hard on him.

Kamaru Usman has now surpassed Jon Jones to become the #1 P4P king.

JJ is a busta.

As for Jones, he never was clean on some of his fights as he is a subject to multiple failed drug tests. As for me, I don’t respect people who cheats their game by using illegal performance enhancing substances.

I also don’t respect fighters who are also felons. 😐

The two crème de la crème of UFC, folks!

Look how happy they both are when GSP snuck up behind Khabib and choked him. LOL!
Wholesome to the core, uttermost respect on both of ’em!

_{…maybe an exhibition match between them? ;)}

Couple of changes in the card but that doesn’t matter which I’d wanna hype on. Lessons learned that I shouldn’t go trusting on a card of an event months away before it happen because of this.
