Billy C and the gang look back at twenty-nineteen and ahead to twenty-twenty, plus Jacobs-Chavez Jr recap and more.
Oleksander Usyk is scary but funny
He may just be the guy to bring some order to the chaotic heavyweight division. He’s got the skills and charisma, but does he have the size? Maybe this year we’ll get to see! Oleksander Usyk is currently the number one contender in the WBO which makes him a potential mandatory opponent for Heavyweight Kingpin Anthony Joshua. Does Usyk have the goods to beat Joshua? check out the video below of Usyk at work and you decide!
Big George talks to Max K
Today’s birthday boy sat down with ESPN’s Max Kellerman recently and talked a little about a fight everyone would have loved to see–the old lion versus the young tiger–Foreman versus Tyson. What do you think would have happened?
They don’t make ’em like this no more…
Today is January 10th, the day Big George Foreman celebrates his birthday. In that spirit let’s enjoy exactly what George was so great at delivering to us: bone-crunching thrills and spine-tingling chills! Here they are in full display in one of his most famous victories, a brain-jarring brawl versus Ron Lyle. This was Foreman’s first fight after losing to Muhammad Ali in Zaire. If you were a Marvel Comics fan growing up, this fight is probably what a Hulk versus Thing fight might look like. Except, of course, these guys center the violence on each other, Hulk and Thing would destroy a whole city block.
So, Happy Birthday, George, and thanks for all the thrills!
p.s. the grill ain’t bad either.
What is this new devilry?
Vasyl Lomachenko trains like some sort of killer cyborg. This is pretty amazing.
