We haven’t done a lot of boxing coverage in recent months on Bloody Elbow. Some of this is due to the COVID-19 pandemic wiping out or postponing a lot of compelling matchups, and the rest of it is that the fights that have been booked are just not that interesting or particularly relevant for us to cover. It’s safe to say that the UFC has fared substantially better than boxing in terms of maintaining fan interest and booking the best fights even during a pandemic. There are many reasons for that, but we’ll save that for another op-ed.
This weekend’s PBC card on Showtime PPV is top to bottom the deepest boxing show of the year.
