That's beautiful dude..! I don't get most of the jokes (actually none of them lol) but the shoop is great

LOVE that ink outline style. It works amazing to harmonize otherwise shooped elements together

That sketchy pencil-crayon texture was from the source image, correct? looks so cool

PS: What's this about? What is wrong with boxing in america? who are the dudes you shopped? thx

Top left is Al Haymon, boxing promoter and manager and he runs PBC I think (Premier Boxing Champions)

the old guy next to him is Shelly Finkel, also a boxing manager going as far back as Mike Tyson. He manages Deontay Wilder.

The black guy with the crown is Adonis Stevenson, LHW "King" and he features on the card. The next black guy is Deontay.

The guy with the 305 hat is Luis Ortiz, Deontay's previous opponent and he's also fighting on the card.

The guy top right corner is Jarrett Hurd, another champion competing on the card.

The guy with the apple is me, then front row on the left is Julio Cesar Chavez jr. front row right is Joe Joyce, a HW prospect.

All the matchups are supposed to favour the PBC fighters which is why I put their opponents in the "extras" section of the credits.

There aren't really many jokes in there, and it's meant for the boxingscene.com community so I tailored it to them.

Regarding the Anti-America slogan, it's because of the nonstop debates raging around Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder plus their managers and promoters. Many feel the UK is taking over as the center of boxing whereas others don't agree for various reasons. It's warfare over on boxingscene every damn day lol

and sorry for the self promotion Masato, I can see from the responses (or lack of) on other communities that people just aren't interested in my photoshooped posters, and if I'm being honest they never have been. I'm not inspired by doing crappy looking 5 minute shoops anymore, so I think that poster is going to be the last MMA/Boxing photoshoop I make.

I'll be putting my focus back on my board games and animated series project.

It really is amazing how the UK is now neck and neck with USA and Mexico for top boxing country. They even have a ton of awesome guys in the lower weights. Apparently its a product of the UK's olympic sport development program giving their guys such amazing bases to enter the pros with.

Did anyone watch the fight?

I didn’t but sure sounded exciting. If you watched what did you think of the judges call?

I’ll be curious to hunt for a vid if it, sorry I missed it live looked like a good show. Good for boxing
