absolutely ridiculous to not rank fighters from Russia or Belarus. Its not their fault what their politicians do. I can understand not sanctioning fights within those countries, but penalizing fighters simply for their bloodline or heritage is insane.
Thoughts from the weekend of boxing or things and fights I enjoyed..........
Matice v Tapia what a great fight has it been mentioned yet ?
Nikoloz Sek what heavy hands and that is after not being in the ring for a while and having recovered from two disc injury going to watch this guy develop I hope
Bently proved a lot of things to himself and to the fight fans who watched the fight. See you cant always ignor a fitghter just bc a few people tell you it is not good match up. The fight was closer then the judges gave credit for but that is not new. What was new is that Alim looked bad a bit uncomfortable in the ring not coming up with any good idea on how to stop an opponent who was expected to only last two rounds or less.......They got to fight it in the ring not in the papers. Bently deserves another fight with a decetn pay day. See how he develops. Alim check yourself out man heavy hands were not that heavy over the weekend well your hands were not anyhow.
And finally was it not both entertaining and satisfying to see M. Love get beat and made to look the fool in the ring. come on man you clown during the fight and after the fight. Sparky had class and winning ways in the ring and outside the ring. He won the fight and he won some fans. And on top of that he was and is good for boxing We mention the UGLY lets mention the good when it happens in the ring OK alright. Hope many saw that fight and what transpired.......
> Got to admit that I thought Sunny would lose to Alvarado. Sunny showed grit and boxed brilliantly at times - very impressive.
> Conor Benn has admitted that he was also popped for Clomifene in July but managed to keep it quiet - so that's 2 pops for the same drug a couple of months apart.
In these circumstances the WBO shouldn't need to send him a "show cause" letter - he should be out of their rankings straight away.

Boxing is in a grim spot right now. Seeing all these stories in one article amplifies that fact. Sad.
