The Fight Teacher

@snboxing It’s a “what have you done for me lately” business

I've been surprised by how much negativity there is surrounding Derrick James. I thought he did a terrific jab in improving Jermell Charlo. Won three welterweight belts with Spence. Did a nice job with Frank Martin. Won my Trainer of the Year twice.

@BreadmanBoxing @MonteroOnBoxing @RTSMightyMike That’s the reason I tagged you bread. I know how you feel about Ali, as I tend to share the same view. Mike likes shitting on fighters and I just thought you could set him straight here.

@MonteroOnBoxing @handsofstone491 @RTSMightyMike But I won't and dont do that stuff because both are great and their careers are their careers. See you fellas later and please leave me out of the Ali slander.

OK, a serious "hot take", no trolling... Muhammad Ali clinched, held and fouled A LOT, particularly in his biggest fights. To my knowledge, he was never penalized a single point for it in his entire career. The American media and fans, who have crucified other fighters for similar tactics, never seemed to mind Ali's excessive clinching and fouling. For one example, according to counts, he held Frazier 133 times in their rematch, often pulling his head down by the neck. Yet referee Tony Perez did not give him a single warning. Many of you have never really watched those fights, you've just seen movies and read books. The reality is, a lot of those bouts were a hard watch.

@Revolvermag Ngl this supergroup was ass

KILLER BE KILLED — the metal supergroup then comprised of current and former members of SEPULTURA, MASTODON, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and THE MARS VOLTA — released their self-titled debut on this day in 2014.

@MonteroOnBoxing @RTSMightyMike @BreadmanBoxing lol

Agree that Robinson was much better P4P. My thing with Ali is that, while I recognize he had amazing feats in the ring, he's taken on a God-like status where you're not allowed to be critical at all. Fact is, he was soundly defeated by a 5'10" brawler, who he was only able to defeat with excessive fouling, a year AFTER he had been flattened in two rounds by Foreman. Ali also won controversial decisions and/or took L's against guys who were hardly ATGs. CompuBox did a study a while back where it revealed that Ali got hit A LOT, his defense was far from elite. Yet we're supposed to believe that Usyk wouldn't even be competitive with him? Yeah, that's bullshit.

@JackPosobiec Seen Amon Amarth a couple times. They always deliver a great show

That was such a good show

@JackPosobiec Absolutely

Should I go see DethKlok and Amon Amarth?

@MonteroOnBoxing Solid points. Answer me this though. Who has ever been the “face of boxing” while never fighting in USA? All I’m saying is that when Floyd, Pac,Canelo were considered the face they were being talked about by casuals. Inoue isnt to that extent unfortunately

@handsofstone491 Why? What makes America the center of the boxing universe? Do casual fans only exist in the continental United States? Tens of millions of casual fans in Japan alone watched the Nakatani fight.

"Inoue gotta come to 'Murica to be the face of boxing." -idiots

@SteveKim323 I’ve been saying that there won’t be another face of boxing after Canelo. If Inoue would’ve made it a point to become a star in America he possibly could’ve been it.Also if Gervonta would’ve fought more top comp and stayed out of trouble he could’ve been it.

I find the 'face of boxing' (and whose next) silly. Post-Canelo there is none, and may never be another one. Bottom line, they don't fight enough, generate enough attention, or have the match-ups that put them over the top. But there will be guys who will make a lucrative living from #boxing

@BoxinHistorian Are you serious?

Both in their primes, who wins at 168? Benavidez or Berlanga

@elitooreall Who’s the hall of famer?

Shakur Stevenson could never move up a division to knockout a hall of famer in their prime.. I do not want to see Shakur Stevenson at the third spot on the pfp list because that spot rightfully belongs to the Mexican monster..

When Canelo retires the face of boxing will be Shakur Stevenson …. Book mark this .#boxing

@FerSabatiniBox @Sean_Zittel Toney-Mccallum was one sided? Just say you don’t watch boxing

I mean, again. I don’t think Crawford-Canelo was a Toney-McCallum, Morales-Barrera, Leonard-Hearns, Ali-Frazier I or III, either. Just thought it provided better action at the highest skill level than Inoue-Nakatani or Shakur-Teofimo. JMO. #Boxing

@Redskins_XXII @MikeCoppinger

@MikeCoppinger This is why Copp was hired by The Ring. It takes a retard to tweet that out with a straight face. While you’re on your knees, allow me to explain this to you. Canelo has been off for a year after getting dominated by a welterweight. You’re out here gargling over a tune-up.

Imagine anyone who thought Canelo would take an easy touch. It’s not how he’s built.

Yeh, poor Adrian Broner. Feel so so so sorry for him. Oh my what a F*cking crying shame he’s in this position. It’s not like when he was on top he used to go around and act like a complete and utter gobshite. He’s a tool, always been a tool always will be a tool. If he’s skint go and get a job or be head coach or something to do with his skills in the gym to make money. He won’t coach cos he’s too selfish to be a coach to his own needs. Turn it in Ryan ya plum…

@WillHarrisAOAF Stop that bs. Have you not seen how this dude acted for years? Guaranteed he did this to himself. Just because you’re a rich athlete and you blew it all doesn’t automatically demand pity.

@Turgon191 @LiamBadco Well you need new scoring criteria. His low kicks were mostly checked, he threw solid to the body but there’s no way he out scored Haggerty under any “criteria”. Damage, effective striking and defense all won

@handsofstone491 @LiamBadco Observed it with the scoring criteria in mind, not bias and no falling for "cleaner striker aura"

Thought we were gonna see absolute fireworks in that Yoza Haggerty fight …bit of an anticlimax until the last round when they started trading. Strange performance from Yoza he shut the distance and got close then just stood there haha.

@Turgon191 @LiamBadco wtf fight were you watching?

@LiamBadco Haggerty clearly won round 1, Yoza clearly won round 4 and 5. Round 2 and 3 are close. Most people had it 2-1 Haggerty at the end of round 3 which I agree. I gave round 2 to Yoza. Should be 48-47 Yoza, but can be 48-47 Haggerty too

@DAZNBoxing There’s literally no one opening the app to specifically watch Miller fight.

What a SHOW these two heavyweights put on 👏🔥 #MillerPero 🤳
