@BreakingBBoxing Sounds like a decision fight vs Conceicao, but it will be entertaining

[The Boxing Quant @TheBoxingQuant]

They said Spence was finished.

Tszyu's about to find out if that's true in front of his whole country.

TSZYU -STRENGTHS:

Relentless forward pressure, cuts the ring in straight lines
Relentless work rate + body-punching to drain your legs
Natural middleweight

WEAKNESS:

Marches head-on. Struggles vs movement and gets caught reaching when he's rushed.

SPENCE -STRENGTHS

Southpaw jab + surgical rear hand, best timing in the division at his peak
Vicious to the body, breaks men down late
Ring smarts to make you fight his fight

WEAKNESS:

3 years out. Two eye surgeries. Weight ballooned between camps. A weight category he has never fought in.

How much does he have left in the tank is the whole question especially after the one sided beatdown he took from Bud..

July 26 we have a very interesting fight down under 🇦🇺!

Joey Saputo: the billionaire who figured Quebec out

There is a certain kind of businessman who spends his life complaining about Quebec. The taxes are too high. The language laws are too strict. The unions are too powerful. The government is too interventionist. The nationalists are too irrational.
And then there is Joey Saputo.
Saputo, the owner of CF Montreal and heir to the Saputo dairy empire, has done what almost no other billionaire in Quebec has managed to do: he has turned the province’s political complexity into a competitive advantage. He hasn’t fought Quebec’s system. He has mastered it.
The proof came this week, when the CAQ government announced a massive renovation of the Olympic Stadium—a project that will keep CF Montreal in the city for the next 20 years, and potentially save the Montreal Alouettes in the process. The decision was hailed as a victory for soccer fans, for Montreal’s East End, and for the city’s sports culture.
But make no mistake: the biggest winner in this deal is Joey Saputo.
The Anatomy of a Masterclass
Consider what Saputo just pulled off. He secured a publicly funded, winter-ready stadium for his team without spending a dime of his own money. He didn’t threaten to move the team to Detroit—he simply let the threat exist. He didn’t demand a bailout—he let the government realize that losing CF Montreal would be a political disaster. And he did it all while maintaining the support of the fans, the league, and the city.
This is not luck. This is a strategy that Saputo has been perfecting for over a decade.
When CF Montreal joined MLS in 2012, Saputo understood something that many other owners fail to grasp: in Quebec, a sports team is not just a business. It is a cultural institution. And cultural institutions have a political value that far exceeds their economic value.
Saputo played this card relentlessly. He invested in the academy, developed local talent, and wrapped the team in the colors of Quebec nationalism. He made CF Montreal feel like Quebec’s team, not just Montreal’s team. He pandered to the CAQ without alienating the federalists. He pandered to the multicultural youth without alienating the older francophone base. He walked a tightrope that would have broken any other owner—and he did it with remarkable discipline.
Why He Won
The Big O bailout is a testament to Saputo’s political intelligence. He didn't just lobby the government. He created a coalition that the government could not ignore: the mayor of Montreal (Soraya Martinez Ferrada), the MLS commissioner (Don Garber), the fans, the media, and the East End business community. He made it politically costly to say no—and politically rewarding to say yes.
And he did it all while keeping his team competitive, but not too competitive. Saputo famously kept the roster spending low during the stadium debate, avoiding the temptation to build a superteam that might have been relocated anyway. It was a disciplined, prudent, and strategic move that protected his asset while ensuring the team didn’t completely collapse.
This is not the behavior of a man who panics. This is the behavior of a man who understands that in Quebec, patience is a weapon, and political capital is a currency that can be spent just as effectively as money.
The Quebec Paradox
Joey Saputo has figured out what so many others fail to understand: Quebec is not a normal market. It is a political market. The state is not just a regulator; it is a participant. The government does not just set rules; it makes decisions that can make or break entire industries.
To succeed in Quebec, you need to understand the state. You need to build relationships with politicians. You need to speak the language—not just French, but the language of nationalist pride, regional equity, and cultural survival.
Saputo speaks that language fluently. He knows that Quebecers will forgive a lot—high taxes, endless bureaucracy, and even a lack of championships—if you show them that you respect them.

@BreakingBBoxing I agree I feel Devrim is just a level over his opponent from the visual Outlook.

@BreakingBBoxing At the same time, don't you think that Keyshawn improved vastly since their last encounter while Nahir is at level where he's supposed to be, kind of like a fringe contender?
