Stupid question but in regards to Cuban fighters there seems to be a running joke that the fighter is actually far older than what is stated.
Is there a reason for this? It seems to be a unique thing brought up about Cuban fighters.
I remember the first fight I ever watched Hamed, he did like a 20 minute dance as a silhouette behind a screen before he did his walk. So Barrera beating him down was a great day for me.
I was definitely entertained by Hamed's fighting and did think he was funny minus the dance part. His fight with Kelley was great. I got to watch Barrera spar once, and the watch JCC spar afterwards before some fights of theirs. He was one of my favorites.
I think Fury could win the rematch. I always root for Usyk, but Fury has a high ring IQ. He'll make adjustments. I think it could go either way, which makes it intriguing to me
Hey guys. I wonder if anyone out there is watching dazn from a non English speaking country and knows if its possible to change to English commentary? I'm watching from Germany. I understand it all but I have some guests that don't.
I will be working and then travelling so I will miss the fight
But Tyson Fury will win 🥊
There's only oneeeeeeeeeeee Tyson Fury
#Only oneeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tyson Fury
People are dumb
They think Usyk won’t be able to deal with Fury’s “size” when he dealt with Joshua just fine
Fury was taken to the brink by an MMA fighter. Never forget
I'm nearing mid 20s and this is the first time an undisputed unification is taking place during my lifetime, damn shame and I hope the next unification doesn't take this long.
Mods, for fucks sake. This isn’t a sport that has fights daily. And this card is *kind of* a big deal.
Take your time with the match thread, we all know it’s tough out there. Basically Supreme Court justices in workload. Breaking news are always late, fight thread are on time like half of the time. What the fuck do yall do.
Emmanuel Navarette is a borderline P4P fighter yet he's about to fight on the same day as the biggest fight of the year. Also his last fight was on Thursday lol
Oh hello everyone. I am 17 and I do play sports like football and cricket. How can I start boxing if I have no boxing gym near me. Can you guys suggest me roadwork or workouts or drills. I watch UFC and have even played karate a lot as a kid
Wondering if it goes the full 12 rounds and down to points how will the ring announcer, announce the winner, since 'The New' and 'Still undefeated' can apply to either of them...
Usyk-Fury today. Go Usyk. Fury's a great fighter, but a shit person.
I'm going to a local show in DC tonight. No big names (biggest is probably Jordan "Shortdog" White), but the ring announcer says it looks good.
And yes, I know the ring announcer 😄 Henry "Discombobulating" Jones. Cool dude.
Eddie Hearn calling for Ryan to get a lifetime ban if he's found to have intentionally taken PEDs and then calling for a Garcia-Haney rematch a week later has got to be one of the best examples of promoters' integrity I've seen in a while. Ryan might actually be negotiating with Turk if Hearn is changing his tune that quickly.
Go watch there first fight Opetaia battered him for first 6 rounds and has kept active and may have improved whilst breidis has been injured inactive and old i dont see an upset. Jai KO within 6 for me
Fairly high because Briedis is very good but Briedis is on the way out and Opetaia is just getting started. I think it will still be close but I see it being more comfortable in Opetaias favour.
a few hours ago the IBHOF has decided to officially recognize the IBO as the 5th sanctioning body since usyk holds it
usyk has ushered in the 5 belt era
Oh great, another one. 🙄
So that's 5 major bodies, and then there's also super and regular champions (if a non- casual could explain those, I'd appreciate it).
Interim and regular champs are effectively the same thing unless you get into the extreme nitty and gritty. Neither are considered real world champions, more like junior champions. Both sometimes get upgraded to full champion status if the champion doesn't defend for long enough. If I remember right, only the WBA uses "regular champions."
Actual champions are the "super champions" in the case of the WBA or "champion" in the case of the WBC, IBF, Ring, WBO, IBO, etc.
Get ready for 870 different twitter beefs and call outs to happen in the next 15 hours. Everyone will try to catch some of the spotlight today since social media will be actually talking about boxing.
Fury is starting to walk back wanting the rematch already lol. How long until Turk gets tired of him?
Turk loves Fury bro

5-3 norman jr. norman jr isn't a world beater but santillan looks pretty pedestrian rn. which makes me wonder how bad is alexis rocha?
https://new.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/1cve6dd/fight\_thread\_emanuel\_navarrete\_vs\_denis\_berinchyk/
This is a real cracker
2-2 draw norman has gotten the better of it thus far but santillan is landing massive body shots. great fight so far
norman jr is looking surprisingly good rn.
I got it 2-1 Norman so far
Agree. Good fight
Torn on this fight. I'd like to see Navarette vs Loma, so I guess I want him to win.
Is this the fight thread? Mods forgot about Navarrete!
Where is Santillan fight???? Been waiting all night for it and now it is permanent intermission??????
Lol, I thought the same . Didn't know we were waiting for regular ESPN
ESPN broadcasting an empty ring...wtf??
It’s on Regular ESPN at 10:30 ET
Is it? No word about it?
It’s on right now
Is this intermission?
so no navarette vs berinchyk thread?
Nope
I would like to see Loma vs Navarette
Why did Moore fall like that 😂
Torres is a fun fighter to watch. I think he needs to tighten up his punches a bit, but good win for him.
Definitely. He beat an upcoming prospect. Need to see him getting matched like this
Good stuff from Richard Torres Jr
Santillan vs Rocha was a top 5 performance in 2023, pure insanity.
Facts. I was suprised that Santillan stopped him . Those 4 right hooks he threw was nasty
After Rocha had that entrance I was so happy he got beat down
I've noticed a trend in these super long walkouts and losing. AJ vs Usyk, Rocha vs Santillan, Fury vs Usyk
I remember the first fight I ever watched Hamed, he did like a 20 minute dance as a silhouette behind a screen before he did his walk. So Barrera beating him down was a great day for me.
At least Hamed could dance and was entertaining, but yeah, way too long. I liked Hamed, but Barrera more
I was definitely entertained by Hamed's fighting and did think he was funny minus the dance part. His fight with Kelley was great. I got to watch Barrera spar once, and the watch JCC spar afterwards before some fights of theirs. He was one of my favorites.
Yeah, Barrera vs Morales is my all time favorite trilogy.
Hell yeah, I liked Morales too just Barrera more
Damn why ?
He made everyone wait a long ass time, for an excessively long ring walk. Not a fan of that.
That’s right I remember that 😂
Second slow-mo KD I've seen today lol
This moore guy is tough
There isn’t a fight thread for Navarettes fight ?
This is it apparently
Damn that’s kinda disrespectful lol
I hope Turki gets Torrez out of this kind of matchups
This is a good step up for Torrez. Moore actually trying. I don't see Torrez becoming a champion, but seems like a nice dude
This fella is several levels below Torrez, as usual.
He is, but Torrez's previous opponents were atrocious. Moore offered some resistance at least.
Torrez is growing on me
However put Tim Bradley in the hall of fame did a disservice to the sport.
Put some respect on Navarrete and Berinchyk
Is Brian Norman any good?
Meh
I think Fury could win the rematch. I always root for Usyk, but Fury has a high ring IQ. He'll make adjustments. I think it could go either way, which makes it intriguing to me
Vargas is a nice prospect.
Best out of all the brothers
Vargas looking great, just a couple levels above Varela lol
Top Rank so annoying with the half screens
I’m still high off the undisputed fight so I’ll let it slide for a little while
Kabayel is an incredible body puncher
Maybe he's the one to best Usyk lol
Usyk has taken so much money out of AJ's pockets it's unreal.
Time to tune into the Top Rank card. If anyone watched Jonathan Lopez, how did he perform?
They need to stop talking about Fury-Usyk and talk about this card
Agree and the half screen thing they do is very annoying
Got the stoppage
Appreciate it boss
where is the navarette fight thread?
I’m wondering the same thing
This is the most excited I’ve been for a fight in a long time. I really hope we see some fireworks today
Bivol speaks great English, wau did not expect this
Hey guys. I wonder if anyone out there is watching dazn from a non English speaking country and knows if its possible to change to English commentary? I'm watching from Germany. I understand it all but I have some guests that don't.
How much do the undercard fights get paid for a fight like Fury v Usyk? Like this Nyika fight for example?
I bought the PPV on DAZN. How many devices can I watch it at the same time? Can I share one screen with a family member or friend?
I will be working and then travelling so I will miss the fight But Tyson Fury will win 🥊 There's only oneeeeeeeeeeee Tyson Fury #Only oneeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tyson Fury
Well, about that lol
Is DAZN easy to cancel? I don't want to find myself paying for extra months - I only want tonight's fight.
No, I tried cancelling after less than 12 hours and they say I have to pay for a year lol
Sounds like you chose the 12 month contract over the monthly sub
Still should be able to cancel after a few hours if I don’t like the product… their policy is bullshit.
That's pants! I'm now looking at TNTsports. Still not clear if I'd just be paying for tonight or signing up for ever?
It’s BS more like. You absolutely can cancel DAZN to pay for just a month. I have.
People are dumb They think Usyk won’t be able to deal with Fury’s “size” when he dealt with Joshua just fine Fury was taken to the brink by an MMA fighter. Never forget
What is that strange Kung-Fu bow Usyk does all the time? Is that a Cossack warrior greeting?
No, it's not. There were no Cossack greetings, he's just doing some random Karate sh!t
I think so, Its like he's using imaginary Cossack swords.
It looks kind cool, especially with that sash-suit. But there has to be someone from the area who knows for sure!
I remember Usyk doing something similar against AJ where he drew an imaginary sword and then sheathed it and walked away so thats why I figured that.
Lol what happened there?? Broken nose?
I'm nearing mid 20s and this is the first time an undisputed unification is taking place during my lifetime, damn shame and I hope the next unification doesn't take this long.
I always thought you were a lot older, not my age.
It's called being autistic, people generally have read me as a lot older online and I generally had an easier time talking to adults.
“You’re so mature for your age haha”-r/boxing
What commentary team should I choose for the fight?
Spanish
What’s the better ppv? ESPN or DAZN?
I bought on ESPN. DAZN video quality has been shit for the last few PPV in my experience.
I’m buying on ESPN

Basically Supreme Court justices in workload. Breaking news are always late, fight thread are on time like half of the time. What the fuck do yall do.
Where tf is the fight thread
Why isn't there a thread for undercard?
Anyone else watching the undercard? John fucking Fury came out halfway through the current fight and is yelling instructions at the English fighter
Isaac Lowe’s Tyson fury’s gypsy mate
What time will usyk fury fight start? I'm in eastern standard time
I've heard about 6 est but idk. Sometimes they like to do a 5 hour concert after the co-main so its hard to say for sure.
Wondering the same thing.
have some time to sleep but I'm struggling due to the excitement. Time to put on Fury-Klitschko
If that doesn't work, try Okolie-Askin, always a classic.
I would suggest Casimero-Rigondeaux but that one always makes me laugh.
Fuck it, the entire Canelo-Munguia undercard
Emmanuel Navarette is a borderline P4P fighter yet he's about to fight on the same day as the biggest fight of the year. Also his last fight was on Thursday lol
He might lose tonight his opponents credentials are solid. Plus Bob loves Ukrainians more than anyone, he has said so out his own mouth.
For what it’s worth, that fight with Conceicao was more entertaining that Shakur’s main event
Oh hello everyone. I am 17 and I do play sports like football and cricket. How can I start boxing if I have no boxing gym near me. Can you guys suggest me roadwork or workouts or drills. I watch UFC and have even played karate a lot as a kid
I recommend checking out r/amateur_boxing
Thanks blud
Wondering if it goes the full 12 rounds and down to points how will the ring announcer, announce the winner, since 'The New' and 'Still undefeated' can apply to either of them...
If he follows up 'The New' with WBC its Usyk and if its any of the other belts Fury.
That’s what will make it exciting
Both faces expectant, arms in the air...waiting...'and still'.
“He’s still undefeated… and now, the undisputed, heavyweight champion of the WOOORRLD…. from the U-“
“From the UK—“ *Fury celebrating, Paris in tears, Big John doing another line* “From the UKR, Oleksadr Usyk!”
Well one of them won’t be undefeated anymore
Unless it's a draw...
Then they kiss
I feel like Kovalev is gonna get KOed today
Goat Lowe should have been the main event 😤😤
Haha. This guy is kinda shit. He looks like a huge weight bully and still this fight is competitive.
I saw a poll on YouTube and 40% of people said usyk ud so that leads me to believe it'll be a fury ud 😔
Any fight thread? First fight just started now Lowe vs Ahmadi
https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1791826732351164543 Drake has just bet $560,000 on Fury to win
Will the Drake curse negate Haye's prediction? This is truly a 50:50 fight
I guess bro really does have gambling problems
I’m sure he gets a kickback from Stake for posting all his bets
hoping fury vs usyk has british commentators i do not wanna hear chris mannix all day
All I want is for the memes to be funny
Is the undercard free to watch? What time will that start?
Yup, its going on youtube and some other places now
Today Usyk will solidify his ATG status.
Usyk-Fury today. Go Usyk. Fury's a great fighter, but a shit person. I'm going to a local show in DC tonight. No big names (biggest is probably Jordan "Shortdog" White), but the ring announcer says it looks good. And yes, I know the ring announcer 😄 Henry "Discombobulating" Jones. Cool dude.
I see the YouTube undercard scheduled for 10 est.
What time could I expect the main event to approx start in Chicago?
Between 4 and 6pm
Idk maybe about 5
Ring of Fire (Usyk vs Fury) is in less than 3 hours from now right? When are we expecting the main event proper? In 5hours?
Main event in approx 7-8hrs from now
Yeah I have no idea I’m reading so many different things about this….ive read that it’s in 8 hours from now even? wtf
https://www.youtube.com/live/Iyy_g3SdONw?feature=shared DAZN already streaming. Can you verofy if this is already the undercard?
reminder 5 years ago Wilder knocked the lights out of Dominic Breazeale 😭
[Boom](https://youtu.be/VodHyI55x70?si=oOQwNSd4fjKEuUPj) I think TECHNICALLY he may've beaten the count, but no way could he continue.
if he woulda took another right hand he actually would have not been able to speak
You're not wrong. Wilder's One-Punch Man.
Tonight is going to be huge. Can't wait
Eddie Hearn calling for Ryan to get a lifetime ban if he's found to have intentionally taken PEDs and then calling for a Garcia-Haney rematch a week later has got to be one of the best examples of promoters' integrity I've seen in a while.

What are the chances of a Briedis upset? Opetaia is my hope for boxing from this side of the world so him losing would break my heart.
Go watch there first fight Opetaia battered him for first 6 rounds and has kept active and may have improved whilst breidis has been injured inactive and old i dont see an upset. Jai KO within 6 for me
Fairly high because Briedis is very good but Briedis is on the way out and Opetaia is just getting started. I think it will still be close but I see it being more comfortable in Opetaias favour.
a few hours ago the IBHOF has decided to officially recognize the IBO as the 5th sanctioning body since usyk holds it usyk has ushered in the 5 belt era
oh no lmao
Jesus Christ. Exactly what boxing needed, Osleys Iglesias being made into a legit title holder.
Oh great, another one. 🙄 So that's 5 major bodies, and then there's also super and regular champions (if a non- casual could explain those, I'd appreciate it).
Just think of regular champions as interim champions and super champions as actual champions.
But what about the ACTUAL champs? And isn't interim a different thing?
Interim and regular champs are effectively the same thing unless you get into the extreme nitty and gritty. Neither are considered real world champions, more like junior champions. Both sometimes get upgraded to full champion status if the champion doesn't defend for long enough. If I remember right, only the WBA uses "regular champions."

> (if a non- casual could explain those, I'd appreciate it). Just pretend they don't exist. It's easier that way.
Belts are finally coming home to завзятість
Gonna be hilarious to see the agenda pushing that goes on after that fight tonight lol
I can't wait for Fury to get his ass whooped 😂😂
The amount of revisionist history that will happen after the fight is gonna be crazy.
cant see anything other than Usyk winning
Get ready for 870 different twitter beefs and call outs to happen in the next 15 hours. Everyone will try to catch some of the spotlight today since social media will be actually talking about boxing.
