Does anyone care about boxing anymore? Specifically, heavyweight?
If any of you ever did, there are two guys on the rise right now that may bring something back to the sport. One is Deontay Wilder. Born in Tuscaloosa, fighting out of Birmingham. The other is England's Tyson Fury.
Wilder is the WBC heavyweight champion and Fury has the WBO and WBA belts. Tyson is far and away the best heavyweight right now, but Wilder has the power punch. After last Saturday, he is 36-0 with 35 KOs. After the fight, Fury entered the ring and put on a decent display. Anyway, if any of you ever cared about it, it's becoming interesting again. Ever better that one is the top in the sport is from our home state.

I am loving watching BombZquad drop these dudes. I hope he clocks Tyson Fumblestick into the next continent. Been a boxing fan by whole life and have waiting for an American Heavyweight I could root for since the early Tyson days. Glad to have it in Deontay.

Watched the 2 Title Fights on Showtime Sat night. The Polish guy gave him a decent match for 7-8 rounds. But with Wilder's size and reach, all he has to do is hit you one square time in the jaw and its night night. Which is exactly what happened. I was actually concerned about the Polish dude. He wasn't getting up at all. Then they wheel the stretcher out for him.
Can't believe a fight in America, the crowd was for the most part rooting for that Eastern European sunbitch. F that noise. Wilder showed em how we roll in Murica.....hope they all went back home sad and screwed in light bulbs together.
Like Token said, the best thing I took away from it all was that Heavyweight Boxing is indeed fun again with Wilder and Fury. Wilder is 6'7...Fury is 6'9. Holy shit. There is another dude that has the IBF title now....guy named Martin I think. Won the title also Sat night by way of the Ukranian dude tearing his ACL. Guy is a joke though. He wont keep it long. Wilder or Fury will crush this guy.
For those keeping score in the Heavy Weight Division:
Wilder (6'7 with an 83 inch reach) has the WBC
Martin (6'6 with an 80 inch reach) has the IBF
Fury (6'9 with an 85 inch reach) has the rest of them (4-5) including the Unified.
Quite complifusing and confrustrating. And good gosh at the mammoth dimensions on each.

They make it fun again though. Like the Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis era.

What a puss.
Rocky would have gotten back up and let Wilder punch him in the face about 80 more times while declaring "you ain't so bad."
That guy just fell down. Where's the fun in that?

You make it sound like it was a choice. Only in movies.
