Throw The Jab

love me some #boxing comments. Also enjoy #MMA and the #UFC, #Bellator, & #PFL banter.

#CaneloVsCrawford was professionalism personified. Great broadcast. Great fighters. Classy performances. Classy reactions. Felt huge. Felt big. Felt clean.

Not something #boxing sees very often. Congrats to @terencecrawford @Canelo @netflix @Turki_alalshikh & everyone involved.

I was too young to appreciate the first boxing career of George Foreman, but his comeback later on was something for the ages. A new character, a likeable fan favorite, and a champion for the sport of boxing. #RipGeorgeForeman

Combat sports man. Few things stop sports social media in its tracks like an incredible KO. #UFC300

Dear @amazon and PBC.... no way I am paying $85.00 for Tszyu - Thurman when ESPN+ is showing Inoue - Nery as a non-PPV 🤣😂 I consider myself a Tszyu fan, but this is NO WAY to introduce your new toy to the market IMO @Boxing

Love #boxing pundits. The idea that Wilder losing at 38 after a long lay-off to a good fighter somehow impacts his accomplishments or the legacy of Tyson Fury (for some reason) is absurd. #WilderParker

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

The end of #boxing on @ShowtimeBoxing is sad for the hardcore fan. It was a staple of the sport and IMO had phenomenal production value. Too bad.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

That’s a real win for @Realdevinhaney

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Wishing #HaneyPrograis wasn’t a PPV

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

I hate that @DAZNBoxing puts the PPVs on top of their subscription model. That said, while no true PPV quality main event, this is a deep, interesting card at a reasonable value. Compare that to #BenavidezAndrade at almost double the price. #boxing.

[Ring Magazine @ringmagazine]

The Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker DAZN PPV price on Dec 23rd will be £19.99 in the UK, $39.99 in the USA and Canada, and $21.99 (converted to local currency) in the rest of the world.

@IFLTV I’ve always thought “robbery” was an overused word in #boxing. Not every close fight is stolen. That said, Lewis/Holyfield I, Casamayor/Santa Cruz & Maestre/Fox were decisions that were hard to explain.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

@MichaelBensonn IMO their reliance on PPV to justify the costs of the cards was a big factor in their demise though with the new Showtime direction I’m not sure anything would’ve mattered. #BenavidezAndrade should never be a PPV. That last card though is a strong @ShowtimeBoxing card.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Mostly I’m sad for #boxing fans. Sad for #BellatorMMA fans. Sad for the great men and women who produced fantastic high quality productions. Sure matchups could always be better but from ShoBox to Bellator, they always looked great and had fantastic broadcasts.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

I understand the knee jerk reaction to place blame. But this decision has nothing to do with @StephenEspinoza. If you followed the trajectory of Paramount over the last several years it’s a miracle #boxing and #MMA made it this far. Never stood a chance.

[Chris Connor @LastCallwChrisC]

@MonteroOnBoxing Its amazing how badly Stephen Espinoza butchered things over at Showtime Sports. He is the biggest reason that PBC and Bellator failed overe there. Mind blowing!

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Always rooted for Bellator. High quality production work (I think their show is produced as well as any in combat sports). Had some fun matchups (Chandler/Alvarez)! Rejuvenated and launched careers. Too bad it never truly became elite. Agree with @arielhelwani image is amazing

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

This Bellator 300 poster is amazing.

Love the nod to history.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Don’t sleep on #HaneyPrograis. That’s a real fight. #boxing.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

@loudibella @overtime @dazn @corey_erdman 100% correct about @corey_erdman. Great on play-by-play

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Fascinating night tonight in combat sports. Best #boxing matchup in years vs a no-doubt action #UFC card. Both worthy PPVs (which is something I rarely say). Which will get more buys?

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

I want to be critical of #FuryNgannou but truth is, it’s showmanship. Audience will be attracted to it. People will talk. Entertainment. As a pure #boxing fan I wish he’d fight Usyk or Joshua.

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

Obviously thrilled Spence and Bud are finally fighting. It should be a great one. But, by waiting as long as they have…we’re now left wondering…is the winner really the best at 147 or is it @JaronEnnis?#SpenceCrawford #EnnisVilla #boxing

[Throw The Jab @throwthejab]

That sucks.
