Sad news in the boxing world today - Roy Jones found a fight in Russia. It could potentially be for a belt too. I certainly won't be watching.

Dunno If y'all saw the story a few weeks back. He flew to Moscow for a face-to-face with Putin, who granted him Russian Citizenship.

Sad indeed. What are his finances right now?

PG_AB, do me a favor and let's keep the boxing thread and MMA threads separate.

He's loaded still, but I think he said he wants to make a billion.. Somehow Russia's involved with that plan.

Yeah. I've said my piece on it anyways. No more ammo to fire on the subject/

Broner vs. Khabib and Matthysse vs. Postol are both tomorrow. Broner's a clown, I hope he gets mopped.

Here's highlights/knockouts from Viktor Postol. Matthysse is always ready for a war. This fight could be really good, I like Matthysse chances at ending it early.. 10:15 ET on HBO.

You know what they say...



"If you can't beat em... wait til they vacate the title"

Yo PGAB, where's that Broner fight going to be telecast on? Showtime? There are a few guys here at work with the same Broner sentiments!

9pm EST on Showtime. there's a co-main event first, that's going to have some fireworks.

"Jose “The Sniper” Pedraza (20-0, 12KO’s) makes the first defense of his IBF junior lightweight world championship when he defends his crown against dangerous, former world-title challenger and IBF #14-rated Edner “Cherry Bomb” Cherry (34-6-2, 19KO’s)"





Broner's a talented 140lb fighter, but that's basically the extent of the good things I have to say about him.. He's not what I'm talking about when I say Boxing is back in 2015...

The Porter fight, and all the **** he talked prior to it - crowned him as the poster boy for a fighter that runs their mouth, and can't back it up..

It wasn't even entertaining to watch. He was holding and looked gassed. Porter didn't even look that great in the fight either.



The weight class is LOADED though. Here's a better prospect than AB imo. (18-0 15ko's) Amir Imam, from Albany NY.
