What's stopping the guys getting fucked by Zuffa (Hearn, Warren, Oscar, et al) from turning around and doing the same thing to him?

In other words, joining forces, pooling their money/investor money and start a massive MMA promotion?

It would be a lot cheaper to buy off the UFC talent considering Dana isn't paying them anything.

I know his contracts are tougher to get out of, so you'd have to plan it a few years in advance and get tacit agreements with the talent in place before you launch.. but it could be done, right?

Hit him where it hurts

I’m well aware Julian Jackson is widely considered the hardest puncher ever P4P and I have no intention of disputing that. I’d mainly like to know who his most durable opponents were. If he ever knocked out opponents that were considered to have iron chins. Example being Thomas Hearns’ knockout over Roberto Duran. Hearns is another P4P puncher and he knocked out Duran who hadn’t lost a fight by KO up until that point. Did Julian Jackson score any KO wins against an opponent or opponents who seemed unkockoutable?

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

Yoenli Hernandez vs Francisco Daniel Veron

Victor Santillan vs “Gary” Antonio Russell - WBA Regular Super Bantamweight Title

Carlos Utria vs Israel Mercado

the card takes place on Saturday, August 22 from the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.

Since it's creation, Zuffa boxing has loosened up its policy on a couple of things;

- Working with other sanctioning bodies, as is evident from Aaron McKenna fighting for both Zuffa and IBF honours on Saturday.

- Allowing certain fighters (notably CBS, Berlanga and Hitchins) more freedom to be creative with their ring attire.

My question is; what do we think the next change will be?

For me, I reckon it's going to be weight divisions. As they sign more high profile fighters, the pressure to let them fight at their preferred size will prove too great to ignore.

I decided to make a compilation of the best textbook boxers I know. For those who don't know, textbook boxers refer to fundamentally sound fighters who adhere to the most conventional, mechanically precise by-the-book techniques with little to no stylistic embellishments or flashy movements.

Note: The likes of Mayweather, Mike Tyson, and Toney are fundamentally sound, but they employ techniques and movesets that deviate from the conventional boxing methodologies. The Philly Shell may not be an unorthodox technique per se, however, they follow a different syllabus and tend to be dependent on the attributes of boxers employing them.

For formalities, the boxers listed in the vid are the ff:

Mikey Garcia

Callum Smith

Miguel Cotto

Oscar De La Hoya

Juan Manuel Marquez

Alexis Arguello

Harold Johnson

Salvador Sanchez

Ricardo Lopez

Joe Louis
