    He my fav.

    No one can call Ward a pussy when he's chasing a fight with Kovalev. I would be stuck to my pants if he beats Kovalev and then somehow a fight with Golovkin is arranged.

    ggg camp was mentioning Ward from time to time. ward's point is that you can't talk shit at that upper level until you beat upper level fighters.

    I obviously went down a rabbit hole of vids today.

    still my favorite is all the people that witnessed Errol Spence tko'ing Broner in sparring. I can't find the best mayweather interview about it, but it basically pans the camera to another guy who was talking to Floyd's left. The guy looks at someone else and says "yeah, he knocked Broner on his ass with the big gloves. broner quit."

    Yeah, I have questions about the power too. My issue with Thurman is he's been pretty mediocre the last few times out and is largely getting a pass for it. He can't be mediocre against Porter and win.

    This is pretty funny from Ward, considering he's fought zero upper level fighters since the beginning of 2013.

    Ward is delusional and wasted away years of earning potential because of his delusions about his drawing power.

    well, I don't think he was insinuating that he can talk shit on that level either. Or at least I didn't hear it that way.

    Ward talking about beating quality opponents "over and over and over" is pretty funny

    Shane now looking slow, jumpy. Taking some clean shots, I do not want him in the ring with either of Porter or Thurman, especially One Time.

    No, there's no scenario in which fighting at this point ends well for Shane.

    114-113, 117-110 x2 for Avanesyan. I'm shocked, but in a good way. Good job, judges.

    No sport is more depressing than watching over the hill boxing stars. I didn't watch, I'll just remember Mosley when he was great and hope he doesn't end up punch drunk.

    Potential FOTY tonight on HBO. Don't miss it.

    HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET, Francisco Vargas vs Orlando Salido, Julian Ramirez vs Abraham Lopez.
    How close to a guarantee can one really give for something as a potential Fight of the Year contender? Because I think Vargas-Salido ticks pretty much every box. Vargas is coming off of the 2015 Fight of the Year, a bloody war against Takashi Miura in November, while Salido had two FotY contenders last year against Rocky Martinez. Their styles seem to match up for action. And the fight's at the StubHub Center, which is closing in on being holy ground in the sport.
