Boxing (Official Thread)

It is when you have one champ come to the ring on a throne:

And the other looks like a Power Ranger Reject:

I thought Wilder's costume was a mashup of Sauron from "The Fellowship of the Ring" movie and the Black Panther.

Wilder now claims that the weight of the costume sapped the strength from his legs: https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...tume-weak-legs-loss-vs-tyson-fury/4862328002/

He clearly hasn't moved through the stages of grief to acceptance yet. I guess I have to give credit to Fury for keeping his legs fresh by being carried in.

DeAndre Ware performs CPR on Top Rank official before weigh-in

DeAndre Ware isn't just a fighter. He's an EMT and firefighter from Ohio who put his skills to work outside the ring ahead of Saturday's bout in Las Vegas.

Inside the MGM Grand Conference Center a half-hour before weigh-ins for his fight against Steven Nelson, Ware jumped into action when Pete Susens, a coordinator with Top Rank, suffered a suspected heart attack. Ware administered chest compressions and worked with the Nevada State Athletic Commission's onsite doctor as they waited for additional help to arrive.

Susens was taken to a local hospital and is now responsive and communicating, according to Top Rank media relations director Evan Korn.

In a tweet, Ware said, "I'm here for my fight but I had to put EMS skills to work and do some cpr. Happy to say the guy was talking a bit and was alert headed to the hospital. I'm thankful! I feel I saved a life."

Ware, 32, is married with three children and has boxed professionally for five years while being a full-time firefighter. He also played college football at the University of Toledo, primarily on special teams.

"I have to just get training in when I can on my days off," Ware said ahead of the fight. "They have a workout facility there at the fire station, so I can train there. They have a punching bag and a treadmill and weights and stuff, so I can work out there."
