Ryan Garcia backstage on the LIVE CAMERA and says “when he gasses out, I am on his ass”. Goosen tells him not to discuss tactics on camera. Garcia: "It doesn't have audio on this camera. I know how it works". Absolute rocks for brains.

Said it before & will say it again. Regardless of tomorrow's result - UNBELIEVABLE what Wilder has accomplished in his career. Undefeated as a pro for over a decade, WBC heavyweight champion, defended 10x. Literally CANNOT box apples & did amazing things in the sport

13 of the fighters on tonight's UFC card are from the contender series. What a racket Dana has going. Pumping out these cards with the cheapest laborers

NOPE. Another L for the Greek. Reverse clean sweep for the evening. 0-5 on the night and current streak is now 2 wins in his last 18 bets. We are witnessing history this summer.

Tyson Fury just knocked 4 WWE security guards out cold. We are looking at criminal charges and long legal battles. This surely will cancel the Wilder fight.
UK Boxing Judge Terry O'Connor on his CELL PHONE in the middle of a round tonight on DAZN. He scored the bout 117-111 Ritson over Vasquez, a score that has been widely criticized following the result.

Fury VERY nervous at this presser. This guy knows the time has come. No more bullshit. The jig is up. Saturday Usyk definitively ends the cirque de Fury

How does Du Plessis do this??? He looks like TOTAL SHIT in every single UFC fight and he WINS !!!!! I cannot explain this man’s rise to the top. It is mind boggling. He might never lose.

Ryan Garcia fucking embarrassing himself at RIZIN. Enters ring and challenges 45 year old Pacquiao or Anpo to a fight in Japan (because he is banned in USA). But he doesn't know Anpo's name so just points at "this guy". Anpo tells him he is a steroid cheat and get out of here.
The reason me, and so many

HBO really doesn’t get it. GEOBLOCKING the 24/7 GGG-Canelo episode on youtube. 150k views in 2 days. I will say it again. Weigh-ins and Countdown shows should be available to ALL, WORLDWIDE, FREE. PROMOTE YOUR CONTENT! Cerrone on Joe Rogan had 500k youtube views in 24 hours.
I won a ton of money betting Usyk on Saturday, but the greatest thing his victory did for me has nothing to do with monetary gains. My twitter timeline is suddenly immaculately clean. The "this won't age well, Fury is gonna beat his ass you dosser" crowd has gone SILENT

Mayweather Facebook commentary team doesn't realize their mics are already on. BJ Flores caught on audio: "I don't know anything about the undercard guys. His partner says "Don't worry, bro. It doesn't matter. I just wing this shit every time". Oh....great. True professionals
Reporter to Bob Arum: "congrats on the new seven-year deal with ESPN. I never thought you and Dan Rafael would join forces." Arum response: "We haven't joined forces - I'm trying to get him fired". The old man is a National Treasure.
Main Event. The Greek bets underdog Paull, result goes fave Ribovics. He finishes the night 0-6 in 5 fights. A history making evening. The Reverse Sweep.

12,000 tickets sold for Whyte vs. Parker. Unbelievable. UK loves their boxing, what a great place. In the US that fight would be 700 live in a bingo hall.

- illegal knee to grounded opponent. +1200 Chris Roman WINS by DQ, screams like Ric Flair, gets on one knee and proposes to Roxanne Modafferi. She says YES. THEN fight is changed to NO CONTEST. MMA is so weird.
From DAZN on Andrew Cancio: "This is a man who works full time for the Southern Cal Gas Company. Jack hammering roads. He wakes up at 4:30am. Runs 5 miles before an 8 hour shift. Then sparring at night. Now...he is a world champion." I LOVE

Izzy Adesanya post presser fight analysis: "It was over after the first round. He is dumb. I am smart. This is my 100th victory in combat sports". Truth and Gospel.
Wilder got farther in the sport and made more money than I EVER EVER thought possible. It's incredible that he made 10 defenses of the heavyweight title. Can't box apples. Did it all on power, heart and some luck along the way. Wild

Interviewing Jake Hager's pro wrestling buddies cage side at Bellator, and these guys are keeping it classy in the interview. Regarding Jake's opponent tonight, the response was: "He is doo doo. "He is doo doo. I will jump the cage and stab him". Jesus.
MMA media guy at the presser asks Boser "have you stood next to Gane and thought about fighting him?". Boser responds: "I fought Gane. You forgot that, eh?". Boser leaves the UFC presser. Successful interview I thought.
#UFCVegas30
Rewatched the fight. No problem with 1114-114 or 115-113 either way. Great fight. CLOSE rounds. My one gripe. GGG hit Canelo with 2 massive uppercuts in the final round. One at beginning, one at end. I am surprised 2 judges went for Alvarez in the 12th. It was a GGG round.
Oscar De La Hoya, with a broken microphone, announces his Triller comeback on July 3rd. Then drops the mic, which wasn’t working in the first place so nobody could hear him. Perfect ODLH moment.

PBC not streaming any of their weigh-ins on youtube. Same mistake Top Rank is making. I will say it again. ALL WEIGH-INS and PRESSERS should be FREE on youtube. No paywall, no cable. FREE. Anything else is stubborn, ignorant, behind the times.
Still trying to come to grips with what we witnessed Saturday. Usyk-Fury the highest drama at the highest level of

True story, When I first met Kenny Porter he was carrying stacks of DVDs around in his trunk. He said: "Have you seen my son Shawn box? Let me give you a copy of his last fight. He is gonna be a world champion". The Porter family is awesome.

Leave it to Karyn Bryant to top all IDIOCY tonight: "My question is, does an incident like this give us cause for an immediate rematch?" What on earth is this moron talking about? JESUS CHRIST! Rocks for brains.
A member of Claressa Shield's entourage has just attacked Habazin's head trainer at the Showtime weigh-in. Striking him from behind, knocking him out for 20 minutes. No weigh-in. Fight may be OFF.
Errol Spence on Inside PBC Boxing tonight, asked where he ranks himself pound for pound. Said he considers himself top 5 with Usyk, Crawford and Canelo. The Truth is a student of the game, love that he was dropping non PBC names. This kid is a special talent, level headed.
Per Meltzer, Triller lost 811 million dollars in 2021. "Ryan Kavanaugh is extremely good at getting people to give him money, and extremely good at losing that money"

Amanda Nunes the greatest female MMA fighter of all time. And not a single person outside of MMA knows who she is. UFC has done a TERRIBLE job with this woman.

My connection with USYK started at London 2012, when he captured GOLD for Ukraine. But what he has done in 22 pro fights, unified cruiser, unified heavy, knocked off GIANTS of the sport as the underdog time and time again - LEGEND is too small a word for his achievements

Izzy ends the presser telling the media "be mindful of your click bait headlines please. I will check you and slap you with my white belt". And the champ walks off into the Abu Dhabi night
For all the UK fans screaming at me right now on the timeline - let me make this very clear. The word "postponed" is bullshit. Tyson FURY DOES NOT WANT TO FIGHT Usyk. Never has and never will. This fight WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Tommy Fury was available at +500 odds before the final bell. Great odds considering IT WAS POSSIBLE he won the final 4 rounds. And that is exactly how 2 of the judges scored it. Commentary affected the live odds greatly.

Only 11 days into new year, but pretty damn sure worst boxing scorecard of 2020 is locked up. Kinney's 95-94 Hart is not only inexplicable...it's impossible. When people in America are too old to drive, we take their license. Same is necessary for boxing judges. This guy. Adios.
