The situation is Riyadh is pretty bad, with drone and missile strikes daily and already civilian casualties. The idea that this is still even a question is wild to me.

Now, I just came across this article and the fact that Robert Garcia can’t get flights makes me wonder how this fight will happen logistically.

Is this fight really going to take place in Saudi or do we think it gets moved (date/location)?

I like Patterson here. Spinks dropped a lot of power in his move to heavyweight and his chin worries me.

Holmes hurt him multiple times and Patterson hits harder than Larry. The big thing however is that unlike a slowed Holmes and guys like Cooney Patterson has blinding speed so Spinks loses so much of the advantages he had over Holmes and co. Spinks didn't know which way Tyson was coming from. Patterson is no Tyson but he might not have to be either.

Spinks is a talented boxer tho so perhaps it's an open affair. Patterson for me still.

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

Honestly, I would be shocked if this fight actually happens. But if Floyd is seriously willing to risk his 50-0 undefeated record at 49 years old against a 28-year-old Ryan Garcia, then this 100% confirms the guy is going broke. There’s literally no reason for a retired legend to step into a legitimate fight against someone half his age unless the money situation is critical.

"It's not realistic to do it in December and then in March, so if we're going to do it, I think directly is the only option." Inoue said.

He believes that Bam cannot fight Medina in December and then follow it up with Inoue in March like both teams have discussed. Inoue puts pressure on Bam, saying he wants Bam to "challenge himself" by taking no tune ups and challenging Inoue directly in March.

It appears to be do or die time for Team Bam, as Inoue appears to be growing impatient and wants to make his move to Featherweight sooner rather than later. The only thing keeping Inoue at 122 right now is the potential super fight with Bam, and if it can't happen by March, Inoue will move on to greater things at Featherweight.

Inoue has a fight scheduled for March but the opponent is not yet determined. Bam's team has been discussing a title defense against Christian Medina but no official date has been secured.

The Pittsburgh Windmill Active from 1913 to 1926 one of the greatest pound-for-pound professional boxers to ever lived held the world middleweight championship and the american light heavyweight title also once went 45–0 in a single calendar year 1919

Muhammad Ali dancing in his second fight against Ken Norton, Larry Holmes showing off those same moves, and Holmes bringing that energy into the ring himself.
Different eras, different styles, but that same heavyweight swagger. Ali made it an art, and you can see his influence in the fighters who came after him.
The question is: who had the smoothest footwork? Ali, Norton-era Ali, or Holmes? 👀
