/box/ get ready for some boxing action tonight on HBO at 9:00 ET. We've got a superb showdown between Rocky Martinez and Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT belt. This fight will probably be a good one!
On the HBO undercard overhyped Puerto Rican prospect Felix Verdejo that refuses to stop trying to turn into a superstar will be fighting Juan Jose Martinez.
Also on the HBO undercard way overhyped Chinese fighter Shiming Zou will be boxing Jozsef Ajtai for the utterly meaningless WBO flyweight title.
The non-televised undercard will be shown online at http://www.toprank.tv/index.jsp and might be watchable! It begins at 6:00 ET.
(1/2 Showtime fights covered in the next post)
There are fights on Showtime too tonight. The fights start on Showtime Extreme at 7:00 ET.
The card is headlined by Ruslan Provodnikov vs John Molina Jr.
Also on the card: Demetrius Andrade vs Willie Nelson, Dejan Zlaticanin vs Franklin Mamani, Willie Monroe Jr (remember when Golovkin beat his ass) vs John Thompson, and a big sloppy heavyweight punchfest between Andrey Fedosov vs Miguel Heredia.
>>68338313
Bump!
Today's a pretty fucking nice day for boxing!
The undercard on toprank.tv is starting!
I'm going to Las Vegas for Crawford vs Postol. Any recommendations for stuff to do in Vegas? I'm not big on gambling.
>>68340179
neon museum, prostitute. drive a sports car, check out the homeless areas late at night
Showtime Extreme broadcast should be starting now!
>>68338857
Watching this over Loma, maybe it will be over in time though. I imagine Provodnikov will get the KO
Which fight is worth watching more, the Provodnikov fight or the Lomachenko fight?
>>68346375
Provodnikov vs. Molina will be a blood bath.
>>68346573
I was leaning toward this anyway, good to hear. I love Provodnikov fights. And he showed some improved defense in his last outing. But I know Loma has skills and is a rising young fighter, so I wasn't sure which to commit to watching.
>>68338313
Thanks OP. I box but it's so damn hard to follow what's going on and when, nice post
>>68346695
Watch one on tv, stream the other like a real fight fan.
banter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo1LZOnhfeE
>>68347961
I watched nearly two minutes and didn't see any banter. When does it start?
Correction to the OP, the HBO card does not start until 10:00 ET and I don't think the Shiming fight will be televised.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyD2br9K3ZM
these guys love fooling with each other
After this fight it's Provodnikov vs. Molina.
BIEBER BTFO!
BOLIVIA BTFO!
>>68349083
Am I on delay or something? Just watched the Bolivian go down on TV
>>68349083
Canada BTFO
who is everyone picking in the Provodnikov/Molina fight? Other than the fans, who wins?
>>68349482
Naw, it was something Malignaggi said (definitely rehearsed). He said "Bolivia getting destroyed twice in the US", probably a reference to some soccer tournament.
>>68349579
Either provo by stoppage or molina by UD. Either way there will be blood.
>>68349579
Provodnikov wins and probably lose Broner.
>>68349579
Provodnikov got this. Molina is 0/3 in his last 3 fights, and he looked like total shit against Broner.
>>68349614
oh I see, yeah they've lost all their games in the Copa America and have been eliminated early
>>68349640
Provo by TKO, no doubt in my mind.
>>68349579
Molina is getting knocked out
>>68349579
Provodnikov will beat Molina's ass.
>>68349648
Provodnikov would beat Broner's bitch ass.
Willie "pip" Nelson is up next
I think he'll fuck this goof up
>>68349738
Siberian Rocky is too small, man. Molina is way taller than him and lost to Broner.
Provodnikov would lose to Broner unless he can bring what Maidana brought.
It'll either be a great fight, or it'll be Broner UD.
fyi, despite provodnikovs barbarian style, he has two degrees.
not only is he an ex world champion. He's without a doubt tougher than you and smarter than you as well.
Who you guys got in Thurman v Porter? I feel like Thurman has got it.
>>68349845
I can't totally doubt Provodnikov, he brought it hard against Bradley.
>>68349936
that fighting fight is so damn good
Bradley totally didn't have to bang it out, but I'm glad he did
>>68349935
Thurman is favored by Vegas so I gotta go with him.
>>68349935
I hope Porter takes it.
That guy would fight ANYONE.
>>68349935
Porter for sure my man
Team boo boo baby
I hope DLH actually loses the trial and gets sued for $100M+.
anyone got a stream?
COUNTRY MUSIC GETTING BTFO
>>68350106
What's he on trial for?
He's fucking willie up
Dude doesnt use his height at all
>lanklets
>>68350120
Taima.tv/r/mma
>>68350142
Signed Canelo to a contract even though he was with another promoter. The old promoter is suing DLH for millions for punitive damage.
DLH did the same thing with Manny too IIRC.
>>68341702
Is the neon museum the same as the sign graveyard?
This guy boo boo would clown canelo honestly
>tfw didn't go to the store for snacks before /box/
>tfw will get hungry during the /box/
is it too late for predictionbro to take my picks?
>>68350325
It's very likely Canelo will go back to 154 after 3 years at middleweight and fight Liam Smith for a title. Smith is probably the easiest fight to get a title.
Who ya got, /box/?
>>68340179
Yeah chill by the pool and drink. It's going to be hot as fuck.
>>68350380
I can offer hot peanuts, beef jerky, bbq sunflower seeds, or goldfish crackers.
>>68350406
No go ahead and get em in
>>68350435
Has everyone just conceded that Canelo will never fight GGG after giving up the belt like a bitch?
I love that this black dude is named willie nelson.
tfw no acestream links on rebbit
Nelson starting to get in boo boo's head and turn this fight around
>>68350534
It'll never happen, partially because DLH is as big of a bitch as Canelo.
Canelo hasn't made 154 in 3 years. He's literally killing himself to avoid GGG.
I just want DLH to lose the lawsuit so he'll be forced to put on big fights.
>>68350499
Where do you live? Can you come to my house with snacks?
>>68350595
Doesn't feel that way to me
Also: dude seems like he has a big reach advantage. Why isn't he jabbing?
>>68350493
I'm staying at the Travelodge on the strip which I don't think has a nice pool, can I just go to another hotel's pool?
>>68350606
what is GGG's best fight now then? BJS? Jacobs? Move up to Super Middleweight?
who /magic man/ here
>>68350681
Nice pools are overrated. Watch Leaving Las Vegas for tips on doing it properly
>>68350694
Paulie is a bro, but he was never a superb boxer.
Andrade is going to get tired and get knocked out if he keeps up with this fancy dodging and punching.
>>68350649
Just keep watching.
He's tiring out boo boo by taking his best shots.
"For a guy from Hungary, he sure didn't fight like he was hungry." - @FreddieRoach on Zou Shiming's opponent
>>68350689
Ramirez at 168, lol.
Degale/Jack is going to unify. Ramirez wants to unify before fighting GGG.
Then GGG would just have to beat Ramirez and winner of Degale/Jack to become undisputed 168 champion.
Jacobs doesn't want to fight and BJS keeps saying "later". Eubank Jr recently said he wants to fight. But he's fighting next week or something, so he's probably just using GGG's name to sell his fight.
Literally no-one wants to fight GGG. He'll either fight a bum or move up.
>>68338857
cool I'm watching the showtime fights now. surprised to see there was a thread for it
>>68350689
Floyd will tell you Golovkin should fight Ward :^)
>>68350724
>Knocked out by a lanklet
I think I could break willie nelson's legs like chopsticks
>>68350812
>Ward needs a tune-up fight before fight with Kovalev in November
>tune-up fight is somewhere in July
>still no opponent named
>will probably name someone with 1 week left before fight date so the opponent has no training camp and is drained to shit
wew
I got a decent HBO stream for you lads
holy shit did you guys just see provodnikov's shorts? he's wearing back to the future stuff
>>68350778
is golovkin the most ducked fighter of the millennium so far? shameful.
>>68350905
this kind of thing is why i refuse to put ward on my top 10 p4p right now. even if he has the skills, he's not fought enough and he's acting like a bitch.
>>68350944
Me too
I give Molina 6 rounds, Provo's conditioning is crazy I don't think Molina is near that shape.
Missed the start. Did Nelson wear a cowboy hat to the ring? If I was his promoter I'd bill him as the black cowboy, rough rider , something.
>>68350944
We'll post it goof
>>68351030
how does it feel still living at home
>>68351030
That's sort of like my setup only there's no bookshelf, the TV is on a table from Goodwill that still has the pricetag on it, and there's a stereo and spakers on the floor because I never bought speaker stands.
Also there's trash on my floor.
>>68351049
http://mytvfree4.me/watch/hbo-movies-usa
Why are hbo and showtime using the same ring?
>>68351057
Not him but if I had that setup I wouldn't move out either
>>68351040
he looks a lot like chad ochocinco there's a lot he can do
>>68351089
I hid all the trash and empties for the picture lel
>>68350778
Saunders and Eubanks have been talking so much shit, I hate how people don't blast them more often for pretending they want to fight
>>68351114
because tecate sponsors boxing all the time
>>68351030
>Not taking pride in all your trash and empties

Still waiting or....
Why are these tall guys never great? Looks like it should be easy
>>68351127
I kept confusing Ochocinco and T.O. in my head, I knew Nelson looked exactly like one of them though
Man willie has a chin on him
>>68351153
Eubanks Jr turned down a re-match with Saunders lol. And he said he "wants" to fight GGG.
All of my keks.
>>68350694
Featherdusting dago. The faggot paved the way for pansy pillow fisted poofs filling boring 12-round undercards. The biggest challenge for boxing fans these days is staying awake until the main event.

Is Verdejo and Martinez on right now for HBO?

anyone got the HBO stream?
>>68351279
I mostly drank PBR, Red Dog, and Special Export.
>>68351294
Yep. Fourth round just started.
>>68351294
Yep pretty slow fight so far
Haven't been watching very closely though while boo boo vs Nelson is on
>396-1 in amateur fights
Nigga, what?
lol Lampley going off on Salido
>>68351374
Dude was a monster as an amateur.
>>68351374
yeah he's probably the greatest amateur of all time.
oh yeah, so the bum that viciously knocked out RJJ in the 4th round a while ago just got knocked out by another bum in the 1st round a few days ago
if only RJJ would retire
>>68351374
He avenged the one loss too. Probably the greatest amateur fighter of all time. His weight class is super competitive too.
Like its one thing to be the greatest amateur heavyweight, but at lw/fw the talent pool is insanely deep with fighters from all over the world. That's how good lomachenko is.
>gotta sneak in a Mayweather reference there
malignaggi pls
ouch
Verdejo won, what a shocker.
>>68351417
He knocked out a 30 year old on that urstream shitshow. He just loves the fight game like hendo, shamrock, and silva
>>68351417
RJJ is hell-bent on tainting his career and leaving a giant shit skidmark on his record. Hard to believe that at one time the dude was one of the most untouchable, ruthless, fighters of all-time.
BOOM
HE DONE IT AGAIN

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I wanted him to go the distance.
Oh well, good fight.

>>68351720
Watch Kovalev. He's a crazy russian who is a top 5 p4p who has killed someone in the ring before.
Time to load up on snacks lads, what u guys munching on?
>>68351971
If I weren't going to Vegas for the fight I'd be ordering the pay-per-view.

>tfw no snacks
It's a sad night of fight my man
>neither channel has a fight on now
you know they planned this bullshit
>>68351971
This is more deserving of a PPV than any other since May-Pac. Its the two best at 140. PPVs should only feature the two best in the division, and not just a big name vs a scrub.
>>68352081
not worth 59.99 though
>>68351971
Wasn't there some issue with HBO boxing's funding being reduced forcing them to do more pay-per-views?
>>68352102
I know I saw they just showed him again and realized I fucked up whos shorts it was
>Rigondeaux didn't want to move to 126 from 122 to fight Lomachenko
>Walters didn't want to fight Lomachenko after Lomachenko says he'll give him $300k from his own 800k purse
That Ali tribute was complete shit in comparison to HBO's last week
>>68352141
Yup. HBO cut their budget this year. That's why they've barely had any cards.
>>68352107
Its a great fight for hardcore boxing fans. This is really #1 vs #2 and we rarely get that in boxing. But they don't really have star power.
>>68352150
I'm done with Rigondeaux. Fucking guy has a bunch of bums running his career and he's not getting any younger.
>watching showtime live, recording hbo
Doing this correctly tonight?
>>68352179
i'm muting SHO until the fight begins
then i'm muting HBO
>>68352141
yeah I saw an article about that. I'd like to see Crawford sometime but I don't want to go back to vegas.
>>68352218
better leave unless you want spoilers
[spoiler]lomachenkowinslol[/spoiler]
>>68352218
that's what I'm doing so let's just tell each other we're both right
>muslim_music_intensifies.jpg
>>68352115
What's a fight worth $59.95 in your opinion?
>>68352150
>>Rigondeaux didn't want to move to 126 from 122 to fight Lomachenko
I'm still mad that fight isn't happening. They're both great boxers and were incredible boxers. Rigondeaux has pretty much ruined his appeal by refusing to engage in the ring, even against opponents he's far better than.
>>68352256
i'm fucking dropping him if he's not dropping dickens
getting real tired of his BS
>tfw no Tecate girl gf
hope provo molina is as good as matthysse molina lads
The main events have to be on at the same time? For fuck sake.
Anyone have a good showtime stream?
Were they booing Lomachenko or were they saying Boomachenko?
Not been this excited for a fight since Froch Groves 2 desu
> Eye of the Tiger
instant mute
do you think HBO/SHO both schedules fights to conflict with each other and try to steal each other's viewers?
>>68352255
i'd pay $59.95 for Fury-Klitschko 2
I hope this Ukraine guy KOs Rocky.
>eye of the tiger

>>68352323
Seriously? Why?
I want to watch a live fight in a tiny shitty venue, like a hotel ballroom. Does this still?

K, great decision bro, very smart
>>68352360

Where have all the hot ring girls gone?

>>68352403
you made a good choice bud, people would learn from your decision making
>>68352407
>>68352404
But Lucas -Provodnikov happened since that. That had all the hype in the world as a blood bath going into it.
Round1 loma
Provodnokov is so fun to watch. This will be a good fight.
>>68352349
I'm not even sure I'd pay that much to see it live.
When there is this much pressure on fighter to put on a fight-of-the-year type fight, they usually deliver. Before Gatti-Ward, they were saying the same thing. They both know they will never get another shot at a serious title and might as well go out in a blaze of glory
>>68352473
Were they on Khan v. Alvarez?
Will prod be pissing coke again tomorrow?
Pulling for Molina but I know it's a mistake

Round 2 Molina
Molina Provotnikov is spicy as fuck
I don't know how boxers can take hits like these
THROW MORE PUNCHES
Molina is fucking provodnikov up
2-0
Martinez landing more than I thought he would still down 3 rounds to none
Have two boxers ever punched at the same time and hit each other directly in each others fist and then the ring exploded?
>>68352826

>>68352842

too bad Mikey will never make 130 ever again
HOLY FUCK UKRAINE POWER
GOD DAMN THAT WAS A BIG MEATY KO.
holy fuck lomachenko
WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM??
Everyone watching Provod, find the Lomo KO video. Its one of the best of the year.
TAKE THE FIGHT WALTERS YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
Very close round give the edge to Molina
3-1
Oh and Martinez is sleepy
>>68353025
Thank god for dvr
>You will never have the technique of Lomachenko mixes with the power of Golovkin

Even though I want provodnikov to win, he's getting outclassed. Needs to turn it into even more of a brawl.

Provodnikov career as a mid tier fighter is pretty much over if he loses tonight. He should just fight Rios and call it a career.
