October is littered with great fights.

[Slug3]

I think I will most likely get the GGG and Lemieux fight. I think it will be a good one.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

There's a lot of good fights in October. But Wlad just got injured so you have to scratch that fight.

[FlashBolt]

I know people are looking for that GGG fight but Crawford vs Jean will be a great fight too. Broner is a joke... not going to pay to watch this guy beat a lesser competitor just to bolster his record up. Don't think I'll buy Matty's fight this time even though he has had some great ones the past year or so. GGG is definitely must watch. Not very often will GGG fight someone with an equal (probably higher) punching power than him. A GGG vs Canelo fight will be the superfight we never got with that Floyd vs Pac trash.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Broner is on Showtime and Matthysse's and Crawford's fight is on HBO so if you have the channels, you're not really paying anything.

[2-ONE-5]

who the hell is this guy Broner is fighting lol. He is such a clown i refuse to watch his fights, he is garbage and a clown

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Some guy WBA ranked way too high and it's for a world title. Lol.

Broner will be a 4 division champ if he wins.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Anyone watch Matthysse lose?

Pretty much took himself out the Pacquiao sweepstakes.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Anyone watching Jorge Linares today?

[AIMelo=KillaDUO]

Anyone watch Matthysse lose?

Pretty much took himself out the Pacquiao sweepstakes.

While I agree w/ you about Lucas bein out, I don't think he should. I'd still love to see him fight Manny.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

So would I but it won't happen now unless Matthysse were to someone how early next year and win against a top fighter.

[northsider]

Crawford is the truth. I actually thought it was kinda embarrassing watching Jean fight him. Felt like I was watching a sparring match.

[Raps18-19 Champ]

Jean is a solid contender. But yea, Crawford outclassed him. I can honestly see him fighting Pacquiao AND Bradley next year.

[northsider]

Either way Crawford earned his PPV and a fight and win against Paq could be the type of prize fighting torch passing boxing could use.
