"Winter 2023 Boxing Post"


          

There were a few huge fights that never panned out, but all in all, 2022 wasn't a bad year for boxing IMO. Here's the current schedule of "big" fights, along with my thoughts.

Jan 7: Gervonta Davis vs. Hector Garcia
- Not mad for Tank taking a "tune up," but a little disappointed that he continues to bring people up or down to his weight class to fight. Other than that, a lot of "names" are fighting people they should beat. Didn't realize Lamont Peterson was making a comeback till I checked the schedule just now.

Jan 21: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith
- I guess, lol. No disrespect to Smith, but Eubank seems content to ride out his career fighting this level of competition.

Jan 28: Artur Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde
- Hopefully this sets up the fight we all wanna see at 175.

Feb 4: Amanda Serrano vs. Erika Cruz, Alycia Baumgardner vs. Elhem Mekhaled
- Solid ladies' card. We SHOULD get two undisputeds outta this. Wouldn't be mad at seeing either winner fight Katie Taylor.

Feb 11: Rey Vargas vs. O'Shaquie Foster, Subriel Matias vs. Jeremias Ponce
- This has potential to be a good one. Rey Vargas is very good, but his size has been the advantage at lower weight classes.

Feb 25: Adrien Broner vs. Ivan Redkach, Tevin Farmer vs. Mickey Bey
- Lmao ... I think the biggest intrigue will be to see what weight this ends up at since AB ballooned up in weight again. Wouldn't be surprised if he loses this

Mar 4: Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall

Mar 18: Eimantas Stanionis vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.
- Imagine taking step aside money so Spence can fight Ugas only to be matched against fucking Vergil a year later before you ever get your title shot. Anyways, this should be GOOD.

Apr 8: Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez vs. Cristian Gonzalez

Not technically official but "should" happen:
- Jermell Charlo vs. Tim Tszyu (will be rescheduled once Charlo's hand heals)
- Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia
- Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk
- Errol Spence Jr. vs. Keith Thurman

Feel free to add thoughts, comments, etc.

Mar 02nd 2023
31
Been a lot of good fights so far
Mar 05th 2023
32
Looks like Fury vs. Usyk is happening on April 29
Mar 13th 2023
33
I will never forgive Al Haymon for not making Spence/Crawford
Mar 13th 2023
35
Fwiw, I think Crawford deserves some blame as well
Mar 13th 2023
36
Apparently it's not, because Fury sucks.
Mar 26th 2023

      Not for nothing, but we also don't know who Canelo will be
Mar 26th 2023
42
3/25/23 fights: Colbert vs Valenzuela was a good fight. Wrong result imo...
Mar 26th 2023

Mar 27th 2023

As much as I’d like to see Benavidez move up
Mar 27th 2023

Aj seems to have very little fighter instinct left.
Apr 01st 2023
51
Shakur is the truth
Apr 10th 2023
52
Shakur is probably the most skilled fighter in the sport
Apr 10th 2023
53
That's been a huge problem for him.
Apr 10th 2023
54
His distance control is immaculate. 4/8/23 was a cool boxing day.
Apr 10th 2023

Benavidez vs Morrell coming in the second half of the year?
Apr 25th 2023
64
One of the best fights to be made in boxing. Morrell says it's the only ...
Apr 26th 2023
66
      Morrell is a "hometown" guy so I'm definitely rooting for him
Apr 27th 2023

      I'm not a Canelo fan, but c'mon.
May 08th 2023
73
           Oh and Austin Trout too
May 08th 2023
74
People saying Canelo "slowed down" and is "past his best". I disagree.
May 07th 2023

I'm not sure, but also not so quick to write it off

Rolly Romero is a PBC pet project. Jhanibek puts in work.

Loma got robbed!
May 21st 2023
85
I think Loma won the fight
May 22nd 2023
86
I feel like he'll move up unless he wins the Tank 'sweepstakes'
May 22nd 2023
87
Tank and Shakur are a no go. They are too skilled,
May 22nd 2023
