Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the fight live so I haven't had my unofficial scorecards, hehehe. But as per the judges, 114-114, 115-113, 117-111 for Kambosos. So it's really very close and there are a huge uproar in this fight as majority says that Hughes was robbed.

But as we know in boxing, if the rounds are very close, most likely the judges are going to give the score to the name fighters. And with corruption prevalent in boxing, you just have to ask if this boxers specially Mason who scored it 117-116 might be in the payroll from Bob Arum and Kambosos is with Top Rank. So another conspiracies that we don't have proof. 

He needs more fight though, as far as Ferocious Kambosos is. I think he still has that stigma from the Haney lost that he hasn't shake it. I didn't bet on this fight although I would have gone for Kambosos to win by knockout.

So I would have lost my bet though, perhaps our money might be in the Inoue vs Fulton, Donaire vs Santiago and Crawford vs Spence.

In any case, I'm not that impressed with Kambosos and it will be a disaster if he calls for a Davis clash.

Well, I sure do hope that it will happen though so that boxing will be forced to be more creative and more entertaining but as of now, they are still enjoying the situation while the sport is still at its peak and that is why it is not surprising anymore that there is a lot of boxers nowadays who are big headed especially if they are already famous.

Most probable answer for that is that Tank Davis doesn't want to give up his advantage because he knew that Ryan Garcia will be difficult to face if somehow he can recover those weights. Although it's not a guarantee that it will happen where Garcia will be more dangerous but it is understandable that Davis just wanted to be on the safe side.

Maybe George hasn't exorcise the demon inside of him when he lost twice against Haney. So he struggle against a tough Maxi Hughes and it almost cost him a victory in this fight.

Hopefully with the win, although ugly, George could be back for more action and fight name boxers in this division. Keyshawn Davis also won via UD against a game Francesco Patera. So the hype train on Davis continues.

Yes Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. are two boxers who have amazing titles and they are one of the best boxers in their class.
July 29 is the day of the meeting as well as determining who is the strongest and deserves to hold the title of champion.
If betting then clearly Terence Crawford is the best choice to bet on and I will definitely be setting aside some money for their fight later.

It's funny though that the commentator has said that Joseph Mason should be in the Christmas list for George Kambosos for that 117-111 score hehe. I expect that this would be tough for Kambosos because like Maxi, he has not fought any big name expect for Teo Lopez. Even before the fight, Kambosos has been calling out Davis which i think a disastrous move because Davis not like Teo but i think a wise move money-wise as this might be a retirement fight for him.

Congrats to those who bet for George but that was not a juicy odds, if my memory serves me right, it was 1.61 for George to win by Decision.

Kambosos won the fight, but I was personally unimpressed on how he fight and it seems he was gifted with this win. Even after Kambosos won, and in his interview i the ring, you can hear the boos in the background.

But he justify that there are close rounds and he could have been favored by the judges. However, as we say, a win is a win, so Kambosos got lucky and so his career continues again with Top Rank.

Hehe it is difficult to disagree, however, it might stop being too much to ask if the ratings of MMA will begin to be higher consistently and surpass boxing. Why should they wait before this? Also, these fighters in boxing should not put unfair agreements in their contracts and force their opponents to sign. It drops the value of the sport.

Yes, I am talking about Tank's rehydration clause for Ryan Garcia. Why does Tank care what Ryan weighs during the fight?

This would a great feat for Fulton if ever he defeats Inoue on his backyard.  Aside from getting huge amount of money, his career will have a tremendous boost if he is able to defeat the monster.  Though I believe beating Inoue will be hard for Fulton since we all know Inoue is a very talented heavy punching tough guy.  His toughness if proven during his first encounter against Donaire.  The fight is getting near, I am actually excited how this fight will unfold since after this fight, an undisputed title fight might happen next.

George Kambosos will be back in action,

So after losing all his belts to Haney, Kambosos is back against Maxi Hughes tonight. This is going to be a comeback fight for him so let's see if Maxi will be a good tune up fight or George doesn't have it anymore.

But I expect George to win in the later rounds by stoppage. Maxi is 3:1 underdog.

Agreed, not just for Inoue, but I think Fulton has been offered good money here to travel to Japan and put his belt on the line. And he understands that Inoue is still the A-side although eh didn't have any belt.

Fulton and this team likes the opportunity to beat Inoue in his own backyard, but it's very hard to do that. But as the saying goes, they have a plan until they got punch in the face so we will see how Fulton will react, whether he will fold because of the power of Inoue. Or will rise above the challenge and proved why he is a champion in the super bantamweight.

That is huge money for the young Ryan Garcia and kudos to GBP for making the fight. I've even seen Oscar Dela Hoya being photoshopped with the hair of Don King, the infamous boxing promoter in the 80-90's who put up a lot of great fights for us fans.

Hard to answer about the Fulton vs Inoue fight, I mean it should really be in Vegas or at least in the US. But it seems that Inoue doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone and chooses to stay and fight in his country.

Well, many are sure not to believe what he is saying right now they are ignoring it and not taking it to heart, however, if it's relatively about the money really think that many fights that he made surely have increased his stash of money right now so maybe it is really genuine retirement because he is tired, or maybe he was diagnosed with a sickness that he needs to eventually quit boxing but surely he relatively not telling anyone about it, or the likely that I am thinking retiring to make huge money by fighting well-known boxer, MMA, or anyone under the sun with an exemptional amount he can get, well not saying that I have a sources on this, but this is just speculation, lets just wait for further announcement,


For sure they will go with the convenience of things and will likely fight on their place instead of going across other countries that will give their opponent the advantage over them because traveling can also cause them initially distress and fatigue, or sometimes they call it jetlag,

So many will surely want to fight on their own terms and in their convenience that is for sure,


What are you saying it is one of the most awaited fights for sure both are undefeated and both got some good records and this is happening on July 29, and their fight is for the undisputed welterweight champion, so that is one fight that many are waiting for, will make a certain bet for this for sure, man I can not wait for that, and actually I still don't know on who's I am going to bet,

Well, it seems that I'm not the only one who still don't know whom to bet because both of them do have a great chance to win. Hard to say really because they are both a great boxer of their time and I guess this fight will be decided based on who got more points if it will go in the judge's hands or better who can land that vicious punch first to make a knockout outcome. Watching the odds, it's not really moving and the favorite is still Crawford, so maybe I will make a decision whom to bet the day prior the fight.

Errol Spence Jr. will be the opponent and has been required to challenge Terence Crawford.
So far Terence Crawford has a very good winning record of 39-0 with 30 TKOs and he can defend his unbeaten title and Terence Crawford also has several world titles in 3 weight classes at once.
Maybe the battle between the two will be very exciting when the time comes and Terence Crawford has prepared everything to return to an absolute victory over Errol Spence Jr.

The closer the fight the better option might be an offer from the bookies, seems that Crawford getting the slight favorite here and for those who loves Spence that odd from the bookies will going to favor them, and for sure as early as now they already place the bet since that there are chances that odd may be differ from what it was when the actual event take place.

Both sides are known to be the greatest and now it will be concluded unless there's a draw that happened which is still have a possibility.

That would be too much too ask mainly in this era where politics are more important compared to the figures that they could get if they give the people a fight that they wanted. It would be an entertaining fight for sure if that will happen but again, it's just too much to ask.

For the Fulton vs Inoue fight, I'm sure that Bob Arum already considered having it in Las Vegas but considering that they chose to make it in Japan, that just means that they are generating more revenues compared if it will happen inside the US.

Well, the odds seem to tell very differently with how confused the analysts' and other boxers' predictions are.
I too am not decided yet on who will I put my bet for. I guess biased emotions will be the deciding point. Those who are fans of Terence Crawford will bet for him and I am part of that crowd. And those who want Errol Spence to win will undoubtedly bet for him. This ain't like we use deep analysis to help us filter who will win the fight at all because both are good enough to be in their position now and deserving to win.

I know going for the favorite is not a sure bet too but I do want Crawford to win so I guess I am going to stick with that. But, I will wait until a day before the fight and see if there will be changes in the odds. A bit more push to 1.70 - 1.75 will make me a little happier. 

Sometimes fighters prefer the advantage of fighting at home when they are already making enough money. Anthony Joshua and several other British fighters are examples of boxers who mostly remain in their country. In Japan boxing is popular enough that Inoue can sell out any large arena and make millions from TV broadcast rights.

We should hope that those numbers would encourage other good fighters of boxing to negotiate deals and fight each other hehe. Another fight that I wish should collect a good amount of money is the superfight between Inoue and Fulton. But it appears not much people are very excited about this except for boxing fans.

Also, the fight will not be on a weekend which is strange. Why did they not make Inoue vs. Fulton in Las Vegas? It would certainly collect more money there than in Japan.
