Oh well that’s refreshing. I figured it was just another one of the dumb belts in the mix.

That is what’s great about the Ring belt… it’s the real deal

The interviews with Tyson were great too. Big time Errol fan, favorite boxer since Roy.

Unfortunately no. I don't fly up until later tonight.

I didn't realize that they added Nonito to the undercard until this thread. I looked at the undercard a couple of weeks ago and he wasn't mentioned. That's a nice lil surprise.

Am I the only one that thinks Spence sleeps Bud?

He's been legit hurt by fighters no where close to the level of Spence.

Spence got hurt in his last fight against Ugas, although it was because he was kinda being stupid trying to get his mouthpiece.

Yep, he can't make that kind of mistake against Bud.

This is going to be such a great event. Both fighters at the top of their game. It's hard not to like both of them and I think neither of them generally dislikes the other.

The undercard is even straight fire. I'm a huge Donaire fan as well. He's the only fighter alive that took it to Inoue. Their first fight was very close although he got smoked in the rematch. And, Cruz is a straight animal that gave Tank a good fight.

I just want good fights with no judging frickery.

He was supposed to be on the July 15th Vegas Showtime card but they pushed it back to this.

Bud and Errol have rematch clauses in those contracts. So we are going to get a lot more where this came from.

Both guys agreeing to this is great. These days no one wants to fight through the politics to get it done.

I heard recently that negotiations were going nowhere until they spoke directly. One called the other, they spoke for about 45 minutes, and the fight was a go when the call ended.

East coast I think the main event will kick off around 11-12. You should probably check Twitter when it gets closer. Really depends on the event and how fast they are moving through fights.

I might actually see if a can buy this. I’m a boxing fan but haven’t bought a PPV in forever. Have Hulu live wonder if I am able to watch through that?

You can buy the fight on the Showtime app. Don't need a showtime subscription.

Too many belts which are politics. Some of these fighters are running scared for the reason you mentioned.


True, but this is what makes this fight so great is that it's for all the belts. The winner will be the undisputed Welterweight champ. It's refreshing seeing a fight of this caliber with both guys in their prime. I can see it going either way, but hoping Bud pulls it off.

Agreed. Fantastic matchup. My money's on Crawford. Simply because of experience
