A summary of Teofimo Sr.’s corner instructions last night:
- “You gotta hit him bro”
- “Where’d your power go, bro?”
- “You’re gonna hate yourself in the morning.”
Masterful. #TeofimoShakur
The Roach punch doesn’t even matter — unless a foul has been committed (low blow, headbutt, etc.) or there’s a slip/pushdown, taking a knee is a knockdown, period.
Willis has been one of the best refs in the game for many years, but this is indefensible. #DavisRoach#boxing
Absolutely despicable of @DAZNBoxing to make the #BeterbievBivol undercard a PPV right before the event starts after announcing a week prior that it was included with a subscription. Awful business.
HOF boxing referees Kenny Bayless and Robert Byrd, and championship MMA referee Mark Smith recently announced a new tv series called “The Official Call”, which will give fans an inside look at combat sports from the perspective of the officials. #boxing#mma
Can’t say enough about the advice from Ford’s corner in that fight. No bullshit, gave clear instruction, and motivated his fighter. #KholmatovFord#boxing
The Japanese Boxing Commission announced the tragic passing of Kazuki Anaguchi as a result of injuries sustained in his last fight on Boxing Day in Tokyo. He was hospitalised and underwent a craniotomy for a subdural hematoma before sadly passing away at just 23. RIP champ 🙏
In the last 2 months, we’ve seen the 3 lowest 12-round landed punch counts in CompuBox’s 38 year history:

- 12/23: Wilder — 39 punches

If you’re a #boxing fan and you have a Hulu, do yourself a favor and watch FX’s Lights Out before it leaves in 13 days. 13 total eps, brilliantly acted by Holt McCallany, features a young Pedro Pascal, and Teddy Atlas was the boxing advisor. Absolute crime it only got 1 season.
