Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Baofeng]

Not a robbery and Martin is just doing what he thinks is good, he doesn't want that engagement knowing that Lopez can really take him down
if he will give him that chance.

Martin had a good start but fell short on aggressiveness.  The judge saw Teofimo Lopez is more eager to win the fight by being aggressive the whole fight. 

He just moves according to how he see that he has some chance of winning, but the judges give the win to Lopez
as he converts more and he's really aggressive.

Yeah Teofimo is way more aggressive and launched more volume of punches.  Martin strategy is to counter Teofimo punches  but everytime they clash, Teofimo seems to negate those counters in the later rounds giving him more scoring punches than Martin

Nothing to say, a win is still a win and we will wait for Lopez next schedules.

It was close but it is obvious that Lopez really won that fight.

Yes, but it seems for me that Teo will have a difficult time in 140 lbs. I mean Martin give him a good challenge throughout the fight and even had one judges score in favor of him. Although I will tend to agree with what Devin Haney said, he mentioned that Lopez is not the same fighter after the Kambosos fight. And George really took the soul of Teo hehehe.

So there are no names yet for him as who will be next, but in case he goes for the belt against Prograis, it will be a different story for him as Regis is more power in his punch and has decent to good chin.

^^ It's a different weight class for Teo and I would agree that we might see a different version of his at welterweight as this is not his natural weight as compare to let's say Prograis who are very comfortable that's why he can back it up with his talk with a great win recently.

We will have to see how Teo Lopez will respond back in his next fight here, whether for the belt or not. He will be lucky if he will get a title shot in this 3rd fight in this division because it is said that he might be waiting for the winner of Prograis vs Ramirez.

As long as he continues winning, eventually he will get his shot for championship fight and that will be the time to prove if he really deserve to be a champion again. if he will fail, hopefully he will not anymore makes an excuses like he did when he lose in the lower weight class.

It is his only key to have that title match and if he continues to win, who knows what might be his fate in this division? Lopez is a fighter and he will always be there to fight, though it's not just like that fighters need to win to continue their journey and to prove their worth of their name while still in this sport. Hopefully, we will see more coming from Lopez and that possible upcoming matchup against Prograis may take place, something to prove between these two fighters.

He will have his shots eventually, he will be the mandatory for Prograis belt if I'm not mistaken.

But Regis will have to defend it against Ramirez, a former champion that Josh Taylor beat this year to unify all the belts. Teo and his Father are two loud mouths and for sure they will have another excuses if they lost again to either Prograis or Ramirez. He had a difficult time against Martin who are just a second tier fighter in 140 lbs. So imagine Teo fighting the best of this division and the result might not be good for him.

The first undisputed bantamweight champion in 4 different divisions. Super amazing. This will be a record that is difficult to break. It may take a while before we can witness another boxer that will surpass this kind of achievement.

Only at bantamweight is Inoue undisputed. He is currently a champion in three divisions. When he moves up to super bantamweight, he is excited to become a champion in four divisions. Anyhow, the legacy exists already.

The junior welterweight division is where Teo is competing. Teo is a big man, probably about Mayweather's height or even a little taller. Teo can compete with the best in his new division if he grows from his mistakes and improves. If he can withstand the powerful blows of Prograis, Teo has what it takes and the ability to beat Prograis or Ramirez.

And anyhow, it will be difficult for the future boxers to break the record he set and I think it will take a couple of years from now before it will be broken because there will be another set of bad boys in bantamweight after this generation and that makes it harder to follow Inoue's footstep.

Yes, I looked it up. Teo and Floyd do have the same height, but the latter got the reach compared to Teo which makes him it easier to throw a counter while Teo got to be closer before he can throw his counter. Teofimo Lopez's career at superlight will become much harder in the upcoming years because he is about to face the champions next. Either Taylor or Prograis.

[Zackgeno96]

Soon Rico Verhoeven will kickbox again to defend his world title. I'm not exactly sure who the challenger will be. But Alistair OVereem seems to be at the end of the story because he apparently used banned substances in his match against Badr Hari, which he of course denied. He will probably get a suspension from the union and can forget about the title fight. I would like to see Jamal Ben Saddik in the ring, in my opinion the only one who has a real chance of beating Verhoeven.

Some update regarding our prospect in 147 lbs, Jaron "Boots" Ennis. He will be fighting Karen Chukhadzhian on January 7th, at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C.

https://www.boxingscene.com/jaron-ennis-on-karen-chukhadzhian-showdown-i-really-wanted-stanionis-fight--171153

Not sure if this is the news that we wanted to hear because initially it is said that he will fight Eimantas Stanionis, the WBA champion. Errol Spence is the WBA super champion. Anyhow still a good test for Ennis and maybe after this one, he will have his chance against Stanionis or even Errol Spence.

That is a fact. It will be difficult to match Inoue's accomplishments at bantamweight. Alongside the political divisions of boxing, I will be stunned, assuming an undisputed top dog will surface in two years.

I learned from the news that Nonito Donaire will compete for the WBC belt. I still do not know who will be competing for the remaining Inoue belts. Given that he fought Inoue for eleven rounds, Butler may be able to challenge for the vacant WBO title.

[Yaunfitda]

That would probably end up in a messy thread but I hope it doesn't. Each fight means a discussion about the skills of each boxer, their statistics and experience, odds, etc. If 5 matches are discussed in a single thread, that thread will not only become disorganized but grow into one spammy megathread.

I think we should do it the way we've done it before instead of making it such that some people won't be notified of the new match and ask to not effectively discuss the upcoming match when compared to each having their own thread.

Maybe for me and for some, I'd like a specific discussion about a particular boxing match so we can think about the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter and provide hints or tips for those who like to bet. certain fights, the flow of discussion will always be themed about one particular match.

If there is someone who are going to open a specific thread for a specific fight then we can discussed everything under the sun there.

But if there is no specific thread maybe the fight is not that huge for boxing fans, then it falls on this thread simply as that. If could be disorganized as you have described it, but there are boxing fans that knows when to discussed that fight that is buried on this thread or just continue with the latest fight not having a specific thread.

So I disagree with your thoughts, and if you have look at this thread and back read, your point has been discussed as well. So we don't need to discussed it again, just saying. If you want specific fights to discussed then you can open a thread about it, simply as that.

[YuginKadoya]

I have to admit that I missed watching that Taylor-Prograis unification bout nor did I watch a full replay. Highlights can be biased to judge a fight. Gone are the days when I cannot miss good match-ups, especially a unification fight between 2 undefeated fighters. I did take a look at the punch stats and I was surprised that Prograis was winning it easily.

I also do not see Teofimo Lopez winning against Prograis. Prograis is not that skilled but his power can either score a KO or change a tempo of a fight. Bob Arum will try to make it safe for Teofimo. All the top names in 140 belong to Top Rank anyways except Prograis whose promoter seems willing to work with any promoters and networks. Maybe Bob will allow Ramirez to fight Prograis. If Ramirez wins it could be a fight with Teofimo but if Prograis wins, I doubt Bob will do that. I even doubt Ramirez will face Prograis since they are looking forward to the WBO belt which will either become vacant or face Catterall.   

Well, I have missed the match aswell and am watching only on replays, but still, a great fight to watch we can see that Sandor Martin has some great movement and that Knockout from Martin I think it was just a graze and Lopez just slipped but it was counted as a knockdown, and at 1st I really thought that Martin was going to win against Lopez, but Teofimo Lopez just rallies some points at the last of the rounds so it was a great fight to watch,

but yeah Teofimo Lopez will surely get a hardtime with Regis Prograis but still I am excited because now this is not a picked fight by Teofimo Lopez this is the real deal fight for me and I am surely excited about taking a glimpse is looking forward to that fight,

I was late to put my bets. I got used to watching boxing games early morning in my timeline, big mistake.
Just finished checking the highlights and I saw Inoue won in round 11. Wow.
The first undisputed bantamweight champion in 4 different divisions. Super amazing. This will be a record that is difficult to break. It may take a while before we can witness another boxer that will surpass this kind of achievement.

The hand behind the back is one of the good highlights of the fight.
Now, what's next for him? He said he will decide after he take that last belt. Super Bantamweight maybe?

You can try to bet on the next event, but yeah I thought the fight will be morning aswell yeah it was on a different timeline the fight was at 02:30 AM ET in Japan, and it will be 3:30 PM here in the Philippines, so I have missed it, and it was truly a remarkable match I feel so back for Paul Butler, he doesn't really know what hit him or why does Naoya Inoue had such great skill, speed, and strength in just small body that he had, well Inoue just got a remarkable record indeed, but for me, he still got a long way surpassing Pacquiao, he needs to still proved that he can make it, and yeah because Butler doesn't want to show his face the whole fight it was covered by his gloves, Naoya Inoue is showboating his way for Paul Butler in giving away his face for him to hit,

That might be good for Donaire if he's not planning to retire yet, he can chased for that vacant belt it will be nice to see him showing that he can still perform and if he still fits for another belt to hold. The Pinoy flash unable to bounce back with Inoue as we see the fighting difference between the two, no excuses but Inoue is for real, he was a monster with a huge skills and knowledge in these sport.

Yes, a specific fight needs specific thread so that it won't be messy, it's understandable that we're talking here in this thread about all sorts of fights because as the name suggests: Boxing Speculations, Odds and Predicitions.

But most odds and predictions in a particular fight falls under that specific thread and what we're talking here is just pure speculations because if the fight will be announced, then, it's safe to assume that we can see that thread in gambling discussion.

That will be surprising if that indeed happen in about two or three years from now, but anyway, that is not really likely to happen given that the competition will be intense and yes, political issues between promoters will also impede for the younger generation to become the new undisputed champion.

I learned from the news that Nonito Donaire will compete for the WBC belt. I still do not know who will be competing for the remaining Inoue belts. Given that he fought Inoue for eleven rounds, Butler may be able to challenge for the vacant WBO title.

Is that so? I thought he will climb the lower weight class which is super-fly because I think that's what he said, but it really makes sense that he will remain in bantamweight given that Inoue won't be in the picture anymore.

I haven't heard the news that Nonito Donaire will compete for the WBC belt. But in any case that Inoue vacated all the belt, obviously it will be open and Nonito once held that belt and probably he is still the number 1 contender not just for WBC or even for the other belts that Inoue held before.

So does make sense if the governing body will allow Nonito to fight for the belt right away and I can't remember if Nonito held either any belts, how many times he become a bantamweight champion and he could be the oldest.

[LUCKMCFLY]

In two days Tyson Fury is going to have a third fight against Derek Chisora and YuginKadoya seems to be the only one who remember it, as there were only few posts about this fight during last 30 days. It is time to wake up boxing fans Why so silent ? No one is going to watch this fight ? Aged Chisora is no longer dangerous? Because Chisora havent won anyone convincingly since 2019? Undefeated WBC champion is about to have a belt defence, or even might have his last fight before retirement, and people show low interest in that fight. Strange...

Because Fury cherry-picked someone that has zero chance of becoming a world champion. What's more strange is he already beat the better versions of Chisora twice and they aren't even close. And with Chisora picking this fight in less than 2 months, Fury can probably carry the fight and can decide which round he will stop Chisora.

DAZN has the better event this weekend. The trilogy between Roman Gonzales and Juan Francisco Estrada.

But still it is a WBC belt fight. It cant be not interesting. Who cares if it is a cherry-picked fight or not, both fighters will get this fight in their record and huge money rewards. Besides, this is a heavyweight fight; a fight where a single punch can be a game changer. Anyway, strange that no one is interested in that fight, and to see a daily discussion of a boxer against youtuber fights (Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo, or Logan vs anyone).

I'm interested with this fight because when Fury fights, the fight is very exciting to watch. However, I just hope that he would choose a good opponent, someone who has a championship caliber, not an old boxer that are close to retirement age already. By the way, I love Roman Gonzales and Juan Francisco Estrada than this one.

We might be interested back with real fight instead of discussing exhibitions, good fighter
will come up since the pandemic hits the economy but now that some recovery is showing
we might see more fights. I mean more interesting fights that will be offered to the fans,

we might be seeing cherry-picks, but better than watching charity fights that more on the moneymaking and not an actual fight that we will see real punches and close fist engagements.

Well, whenever a boxer wants to fight, it is something that we are passionate about, what happens is that there are some boxers who seek to have more fame and more recognition, this is something that is sometimes not achieved, be it for the reason that the boxer does not he wants and looks for other opponents who can raise the ranks and who can give him more fame, but on the other hand, many look for the best, such as the case of Crawford, the case of Canelo (something that caught my attention what he threw at Messi I really saw it badly there, that even Mike Tyson threatened him) So sometimes boxers want to have a lot of fame and they can't get it because of their attitudes, that's something that can be recognized.

We don't know what will be the plan, let Inoue enjoy and celebrate along the way his camp will announce what's will be the next
step, either to continue defending his belts or move up and start chasing new belt/s.

Yeah! that was an amazing victory and in just a short period of time, he was able to unite all bantamweight belts for himself. To finish it with a knockout in round 11, was really a history and a moment to be proud of for the Japanese people.

I don't think he will gonna fight anyone so soon after this one because obviously he deserves a long rest after this personal achievement and the boxing association probably will affirm that. It was always nice to watch him win every fight and it will be more fun when he climbs to the upper division and continues to dominate fighters up there.

Even though Butler made it to the eleventh round, Inoue won the fight easily. Does Butler ever win a single round in the match up? When Inoue started to use his speed and inflicted his power, Butler became so defensive. Inoue even attempted to simultaneously lower his hands so that Butler could attack but also lower his defense. Japan and Inoue had a fantastic evening.

Inoue through an interpreter said that he is now thinking about moving up to super bantamweight. 

It's predicted to be that way but nobody knew that the fight will reach as far as Round 11, most of the bettors and fans calculated that 6-8 rounds will be enough for Inoue to box Butler and defeat him but the unexpected happened because the latter weathered all those strong punches until the 11th round came and his defense gave him up. Nevertheless, it was a good fight although it will be more interesting if Butler at least gave a few good combinations but he didn't.

Congratulations to the 1st undisputed boxer of the Bantamweight division, Naoya Inoue!

I cannot deny that I did not expect something like this, in fact I did have faith in Butler, but not so much, there came a time during the fight where I saw him so badly that I had no ideas that I said, they knocked him out, the truth is Inoue He is a very strong boxer who fully trusts his technique and who can make a difference with anyone who stands in front of him, for me it is something that very few boxers have, however I hope that for his next encounters it will not complicate it so much. Inoue came to give a series of combinations that violated the class and elegance with which he fights, he did not lose his temper and remained calm, I think that speaks very well of a boxer.


I would like to highlight the praise that Butler gave Inoue:

Paul Butler Offers No Excuses, Gives High Praise To Naoya Inoue

Former world champion Paul Butler has given high praise to Naoya Inoue.

The two boxers collided on Tuesday night in Japan, with Inoue battering Butler for an eleventh round knockout to become the undisputed world champion at bantamweight - with the WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO world titles coming together.

Inoue, who is a three division world champion, improved his record to 24-0 (21 KOs).

The Japanese star is now looking to move up in weight to 122-pounds to pursue a fourth divisional title.

“You can see the punches coming but sometimes you can’t react quick enough to get out of the way, because he is that fast. That’s what really good fighters do — they have good timing, good accuracy and good speed, and sometimes you just can’t get out of the way of that," Butler stated, according to ECHO.

What Inoue awakens in the other boxers is impressive, for me he is one of the best that we have had the privilege of seeing, I think that if he continues with that streak when he decides to move to a new category, he can do the same job, I really pay my respects to the Japanese, does anyone know if he already has another opponent to fight?

[BitcoinPanther]

I remember Butler saying that he will do what Donaire did on the first match against Inoue, Butler stated that he won't show respect to Inoue because lots of boxers whom Inoue beats easily are those who give Inoue lots of respect.  So Butler stated that he wouldn't give respect to the power of Inoue when facing him.  But it turns out that Butler not only respects the power punching of Inoue but rather left him unable to do what he wanted because he was terrified by the power of Inoue.

As I stated, Butler was terrified of the punching power of Inoue.  Inoue even teases Butler during the fight, inviting Butler to engaged but Butler just did nothing.

These words from boxers on what they'll do are just actually words from them giving answers to what has been asked to them.

But when in actuality, it's going to be not what they are able to say. It's a different world when they're inside the ring and the situation varies from the stance of his and his opponent and that's why those are just like their plans.

And the plans that they've made and said, don't go accordingly.

Probably that was his plan in the beginning, but when he taste the power of Inoue, all plan was throw out of the window and so he goes on the survival moved. And then he just run around trying to avoid that power punches. But the accumulation throughout the first 10 rounds might be enough for Butler because once he goes down in round 11th it was clearly over.

So props for Donaire for going out toe to toe with Inoue but the gamble didn't pay off as he was knock out in just 2 rounds.
