Klitschko v AJ: nzboxchat predictions |

Lets get all predictions in here.
I got AJ by ko in round 3
Main reasons are i looked at the klitschko training footage and he still looks like he cant pull the trigger and hes not punching anywhere near as fast as he used to.
With his chin problems the man can't afford a dogfight so he needs to keep it at range but i dont think he can do that anymore against a guy with equal reach and faster hands.
Klitschko is not a rugged veteran who will be able to outlast joshua in a torrid fight like Carl Froch did to george groves.
I see this being fairly straightforward for joshua tbh.

Ward-Kovalev 2 set for June 17 in Vegas
Roc Nation Sports, Main Events, Andre Ward Promotions and Krusher Promotions are pleased to announce the highly anticipated rematch between the unified Light Heavyweight Champion of the World, Andre “SOG” Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) and former titleholder Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs). Ward vs. Kovalev II “No Excuses” will take place Saturday, June 17 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The championship event, presented by Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View.
Team Ward and Team Kovalev will partake in a three-city press tour the week of April 10 to officially announce the fight, including New York City, the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Further details will be available in the coming days.
“I’m going to keep it short and sweet. You got what you asked for – now you have to see me on June 17. This time…leave the excuses at home,” said Ward.
“I’m glad to know that rematch will happen. I really hope that Andre Ward will get into the ring for this rematch. Fans of boxing will see the real Krusher–the one they have missed for couple of my last fights. For me this rematch is very important as no other bout in my entire boxing career. Thanks a lot to all of boxing fans,” said Kovalev.
“Roc Nation Sports is proud to be the lead promoter behind a boxing rematch for the ages,” said Michael Yormark, Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy. “Last November, Andre showed the world he was boxing’s best. No doubt he will build upon his legacy come June 17 in another historic night. There’s no excuses, the rematch is on.”
“After the last fight, we are preparing for another unbelievable experience. Can’t wait for the bell to ring! This is sure to be another nail-biting roller coaster ride,” said Kathy Duva, CEO, Main Events. “This is the only fight that Sergey wants right now and he refused to settle for anything less than the chance to get his belts back. I’m told that Roc Nation and Andre Ward have lots of great ideas for the promotion and we can’t wait to see them in action!”
“After a razor thin decision last November in their first meeting, the boxing community has been eagerly waiting for a Ward-Kovalev rematch,” said Tony Walker, Vice President, HBO Pay-Per-View. “These are two world class prizefighters who embrace being on the sport’s biggest stage. Like Andre and Sergey, we can’t wait for June 17th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.”

Im a bit dissapointed that he seems to have gone inactive.
Gave JP all he could handle and i felt if he had come in 10lbs lighter with slightly more of an engine he could have become champion. He never once looked out of his depth in the fight.
If i was in charge of him i would have had him back in the gym asap with a fight scheduled as soon as possible. The kid needs regular gym time not massive periods of inactivity.
Realistically hes one win from a title shot, could have been fighting for a title again by the end if the year, but i have the horrible feeling hes going to be onr of those guys that never takes it quite seriously enough.
Frustrating as he has ability.

Boxrec P4P ratings... |

I was just checking these out today, and they are quite baffling. I realise there is an algorithm in use to establish the ratings, but you still can"t help but be bemused by it. For example, P4P males list has Chris Eubank jnr at #59 and Joseph Parker at #163. Even Jeff Horn is higher at #116. Dominic Wade Koed a list of nobodies before being smashed by GGG and he"s rated #140! I guess it goes on the opponent"s record as opposed to form, And also whether someone"s Koeing them or not. Although, Tyrone Zeuge is ten places above Jo, and he"s only got a 55% ko ratio, and his best win is against a journeyman, DeCarolis. JP has actually a good Ko% against guys with winning records, yet something isn"t taken into account. I think what hurts him is; those guys have never really had a good win themselves (Pettaway, Saglam, Dimitrenko, Takam, Ruiz) and this is also taken into account. Pretty funny ratings, anyway.

Pacquiao vs Khan instead of Horn: Did Bob Arum get put in his place? |

Arum and Duco were pushing heavily for the Horn fight but then horn came last in pacquiaos poll.
A couple of days ago when asked about khan fighting pacquiao arum said, and i quote "that is bullshit!!: and seemed very upset.
Then pacquiao himself announced he would be fighting khan and horn made a begging video for the fight to the sound of crickets.
Did Arum just get a lesson in who the boss is between fighter and promoter
