@BoxrecGrey Mugabi vs Jacquot works just as well for the comparison.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@glensharp33 @WilliamDettloff Pretty good air drumming, though.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@SuitWilliams He kinda stinks at it.

In terms of the wrestling to boxing announing pipeline, I think I'd actually take Mauro. I will say he doesn't annoy me quite as much as Tessitore.

#UsykVerhoeven

Who knew that Primo Carnera would be the nightmare historical H2H matchup for Usyk?

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@snboxing Lyle should have punched back then. Dude got stumbled twice and then got his head snapped back from a left and right before Padilla stepped in. Stoppage was fine.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@PunchZoneAris So would James Warring.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@TaylorOnSport @JoeCrosby39460 @losjaivas1 Very possible, lol. Either way, assistance shouuldn't have been provided. That's grounds for a DQ for sure.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@TaylorOnSport @JoeCrosby39460 @losjaivas1 I thought that if a fighter went through the ropes but landed on the ring apron, they still had to beat a ten count. The twenty count was only applicable if a fighter went completely out, like Wood-Conlan. I don't know if Chisora beats a 10 ct without help.

@PunchZoneAris @snboxing Intereresting parrallel: Hong defeated Arnold Taylor to win the bantamweight championship, dropping him four times in the process. Previously, Taylor had also been dropped four times but came back to stop Anaya to become champ at 118.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@rywadams @PunchZoneAris Yeah, he got the shot because he beat a world ranked Papillion. Was game, but got dropped four times in the fourth and that was all she wrote for him.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@BreadmanBoxing Arguello was probably more likely to produce the one hit quit, or to change a fight with a single shot. Gomez would just kind of overwhelm guys with precise, textbook combinations.

The unhinged racist white-panicky reactions to a Muslim getting close to a little bit if power in the US, to the point of widespread calls for denationalization, are a powerful reminder that racism is more foundational to the US than the “American Dream” ideal

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@CoryBlamire @McGrainM @PunchZoneAris

I'll think of some more to tag in a bit.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

Hey, I wrote something about yesterday's fight, as I had thoughts...many of them...about the fight and about how one could view it. Interested to see what others might think. So...for your consideration...

@80sBoxing Noel was a prohibitive underdog but he boxed out of his skin that evening.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

Sometimes, you die in the world you want.

Sometimes, you die *from* the world you want.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@PunchZoneAris I swear I didn't look down! I remember being shocked that he defeated and stopped a pretty good Lindell Holmes to bag a second title.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

@PunchZoneAris Darrin Van Horn.

[Drew101 @Andhunt1969]

I'm not going to say that what happened yesterday was a case of addition through subtraction. But if you focus upon division for too long, then the effects of that approach do tend to multiply.
