Whats up boxing followers and devoted haters. Right here’s one other week’s value of my bulbous sack, bulging with gooey, salty fact, in your face. Take pleasure in. This week, we have now feedback/questions relating to the return of Manny Pacquiao, Jermell Charlo-Tim Tszyu, and Ryan Garcia-Javier Fortuna.
Pacquiao: The Comeback
Hello Magno.
First, thanks for the years and years of nice work. I don’t at all times agree with you, however I at all times belief that what you say is agenda-free. I additionally recognize that you simply don’t insult the readers’ intelligence by sugar coating issues. I want there have been extra boxing writers such as you who had even a fifth of your guts.
Anyway, Manny Pacquiao. You simply know that the person goes to come back again and I don’t imply within the BS exhibition he’s going to have with that Korean YouTuber. Being that he was slaughtered within the election for President of the Philippines, I feel he’ll flip again to boxing, the place he is aware of he’s bought star energy and icon standing, to spice up his ego. Plus, I don’t suppose he’d need to retire on a fairly lackluster, zero spirit loss.
The query is when and towards who does he come again. I feel he’s sensible sufficient to not mess with Spence or Crawford, in order that guidelines them out. What do you see in the way forward for Manny? If he comes again, who does he struggle?
– Sal from Reno
Hey Sal.
Thanks for the type phrases. They are surely appreciated.
Properly, Pacquiao WAS going to mess with Spence earlier than Spence had his eye damage. If that struggle had gone via, I feel there’d be zero discuss of a comeback as a result of Spence would’ve beat him down. It could’ve been ugly.
I agree with you, although. Pacquiao can be again. And I additionally agree that he’d most likely not prefer to let that Ugas loss be his career-closer. It was a tepid, half-hearted efficiency towards a fighter (no offense to Ugas) that he ought to’ve dealt with pretty simply.
But when he isn’t combating Spence or Crawford (I additionally agree with you that he does NOT need to take care of both at this level), then, who will he struggle?
I wouldn’t rule out a rematch with Ugas, to be sincere. Past Ugas, I’m pondering that his comeback could be his final struggle, so he’d need to discover an opponent with identify worth (or an upward profession trajectory) who might put up a struggle, however not have any actual probability of profitable. Simply off the highest of my head, Cody Crowley, Robert Guerrero, Victor Ortiz, or Sandor Martin (who beat Mikey Garcia) may match that invoice. If Omar Figueroa Jr. beats Adrien Broner in August, he might simply step into that spot as effectively.
I don’t suppose we see a lot past that. Simply exhibitions and rumors of actual fights after that. However not less than Manny will be capable to depart the game after yet one more showcase victory.
Charlo-Tszyu
Hello Paul.
What’s occurring with Jermell Charlo vs. Tim Tszyu? First, Charlo strongly hinted at combating him January 28 of subsequent yr, then he edited out the date. I do know Tszyu is a compulsory, however that doesn’t at all times imply that he’ll get subsequent crack.
Additionally, when/in the event that they do meet each other, who wins and the way?
– David
Hey David.
If I have been Group Charlo, I’d leap (leap, sure, fly) on the alternative to struggle Tszyu proper now. I don’t suppose Tszyu is prepared for a struggle like this and it might be sensible enterprise to take him out now, whereas he’s nonetheless bought identify worth and marketability and earlier than he will get extra seasoning towards high-end opposition. A struggle like this can be a reward dumped in Jermell’s lap. Simply judging from how inexperienced he appeared towards Terrell Gausha in March, Tszyu shouldn’t be capable to compete with Charlo. His resume earlier than Gausha is filled with one-dimensional opposition and there’s nothing, earlier than or after Gausha, that means he’s bought the abilities or disposition– yet– to beat Jermell.
I’m unsure what the enhancing of the struggle date means. I’m simply saying that Group Charlo ought to snatch this struggle up and make it occur ASAP. I feel Jermell beats him decisively and doubtless stops him within the mid-to-late rounds.
King Ry vs. Fortuna
Hey Magno.
Any ideas on Ryan Garcia vs. Javier Fortuna this weekend? What’s subsequent for Garcia if/when he beats Fortuna?
– Simon
Hey Simon.
Actually, I’m tremendous, mega, extremely tired of Ryan Garcia’s shtick. I didn’t even know that his struggle was scheduled for this weekend till I learn your e-mail. If I see “Ryan Garcia” in a headline, I simply assume it’s bullshit clickbait and transfer on.
Fortuna’s bought high-end expertise and talent, however he doesn’t at all times carry out as much as the extent of his potential and infrequently fights with out urgency. Garcia appeared like utter crap in his final bout towards Emmanuel Tagoe, winging arm punches and doing nothing to chop off the ring or pressure a defense-minded opponent to truly struggle.
I’m simply fatigued from listening to the child name everybody out, promise massive issues, and perpetually ship so little. Yawn. He’ll most likely win as a result of it’s HIS present and Fortuna is vulnerable to disappoint. And from there, who is aware of? Extra BS clickbait and common nonsense is my guess. Get again to me when “King Ry” really DOES one thing fascinating.
