Man...I miss heavyweight matches. Will we ever have another Mike Tyson? Someone that was pretty much "can't miss tv" when he was on?

“Bud” is cant miss TV.

I can't imagine this match up makes for much watch tv.

Bud is the best fighter in the world. Every time he is on, it's must watch TV. It's not like Tyson or any other fighter ever only fought the best. Boxing doesn't work that way. Bud is smart, fast, strong and mean. The perfect combination. He is always must watch if you like the sweet science.

The heavyweight division is pretty dang good right now.

Yeah, it is...but you can't compare it to what it was like with Iron Mike. I mean, the hype around him alone was amazing.

I think he is "must watch" for a lot of fans on this site because of where he is from. He is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it just isn't the same draw (at least for me) as Tyson was, but I suppose it could also be that I just really like the heavyweight division the most.

Deontay Wilder has been knocking people out these days. He's also bringing a lot of the personality that we haven't had in a while.

This really shows how detached I am from boxing, I have never heard of that guy. Maybe I need to check it out again!

Bud’s a great fighter regardless of matchup, should be fun to watch.

Bud is must see TV. Flat out just a freakin mean dude. Probably could put guys away, but keeps them on their feet to just punish them.

Also of note, Leon Spinks is currently hospitalized in Vegas. Keep Big Leon in your thoughts.

Bud is something else to watch, just an absolute surgeon. He waits for the other guy to make a commitment and then punishes him for it.

 

[mwulf]

The promoters have or are trying their best to ruin the sport. He hasnt faced much competition because none of the guys promoting want to expose their fighters ...shame

 

[WC_'sker]

Good undercard tonight. Looking forward to the main event!

 

[yunginsNU2]

They just showed his shorts.... sporting the Blackshirts !!!! Love it!!

[Charlie Marlow]

The winner of the previous fight wore a Joe Burrow jersey

 

[Harry Caray]

Appropriate, because Crawford got punched in the mouth like the Blackshirts often do.

 

[headcard]

Even Troy cane out of hibernation for this one.

the twitter feed on OWH site from an ESPN witness is 3-2 Bud after 5, he's taking more hits than normal, one was deemed a slip not a knockdown against Bud, fwiw

 

[1 nu rugby]

still all rounds 10-9, Bud up 4-2 after 6th

 

[cubsker]

bud was checking out the ring girl on his stool after that knockdown in 7.

 

[1 nu rugby]

10-8, 7th to Bud with a knockdown

 

[cubsker]

just a matter of time now. this guy is done.

 

[HBK4life]

Boom. KO

 

[WC_'sker]

next!

 

[1 nu rugby]

8th to Bud, 10-9, had him in trouble late

 

[cubsker]

oh man, what a punch. can't believe that guy took those first 3 standing.

 

[headcard]

Bam. Good night folks!

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Why didn’t we offer Joe Burrow though?

 

[cubsker]

bud knocked that guy out at the same time the US clinched the Presidents Club.

Bud #1
USA #1.

Bud is a surgeon, and being in the medical field, I can appreciate..

Women weaken legs!!

 

[Chuck003]

Not one of his better showings tonight. It appeared that he was knocked down early. However, he knows how to close. Huskers could take a page out of his book.

 

[Huskerchil]

Pound per pound one of the best

get yer little chicken asses out of here.
