Garcia done good.
I read today that he was being a dick for months before the fight on social media, acting drunk/high etc -- and the bookies lowered the odds on him winning.
Then he bet $2 million on himself for a win, and took home $12 million, plus the fight money.
If that's true, cherrrrr-frickin-ching! $$$$$

In reply to Post #3053
he boxes in straight lines and barely moves his head
You missed “still” out of that 
I am not sure what Ben Davidson has brought other than some over confidence and sit behind the jab.. As Gerry said, might have been to the hypnotist lol. A quality boxer with some good movement will box his head off. The only advantage Joshua has, he has a good reach and carriers serious power
I would put my money on Wilder because AJ cannot box like Fury or move like Parker did last night. Static, perfect for the bomb 💣
Wilder couldn’t set his feet last night, always on the back foot, to be fair when you see him drop the bomb his legs must be 6 foot wide, incoming missile lol, couldn’t get into those positions last bight, JP was magnificent

In reply to Post #3053
Yeah it has traction for sure, both can bang, both can be hurt, the question is does wilder want to continue ? His record has taken a bit of a knock over his last 5 fights and he may not want to risk it further. He's 38 now, doesn't need any more money and realistically isn't going to get anywhere near a title again for at least a couple of years with the potential 2 fury v usyk fights, then mandatory challenger's after that. And he's got to keep winning and first fury and now parked have shown how to beat him. He may choose the cash out option if the Saudis will still bankroll the AJ fight , and AJ agrees to it. But he's already said if it's a choice of a title or wilder he will go for the title . Certainly a lot of potential for 2024 to be the best heavyweight year for some time

In reply to Post #3050
I still think the AJ Wilder fight still has some traction. Parker has a better boxing IQ and better movement than AJ. Parker boxed superbly and didnt give Wilder the opportunity to throw his right hand never mind land it. I think Wilder was waiting for that static target but it never came. Parkers movement was slick and measured, good footwork and head movementand dangerous with that looping right hand. I dont think AJ has that his locker, he boxes in straight lines and barely moves his head. So I genuinly think Wilder would still fancy himself against AJ, be a much easier target to land the RH. ObvsAJ can bang too so i think tgats why its a good match up. . AJ says he will fight anyone and i believe he would. Parker rematch would be interesting.
That being said in here 2024 has skme real potential, especially with Saudi in the mix and the willingness for multiple tv platforms to work together which is usually what puts the brakes on big fights.

In reply to Post #3051
Yeah I saw him say he'd still be up for it, I can't see wilder wanting it without at least a tune up beforehand now. I'm sure Parker would like the aj rematch, not so sure AJ will go that way. I can see him fighting hrgovic , who yeah got the decision against Zhang but it was a bit of a gift imo. There are a few others getting up there too now, Anderson, bakole,Zhang . Lots of potential for a great 2024 if the fights can be made.

In reply to Post #3050
He is after Wilder he was saying, probably trying to beat the man who beat the men to try and restore his reputation now he thinks Wilder is on decline 
He will fancy a fight with Parker I reckon, I hope Parker smokes him tbh.
There has the potential to be a lot of good heavyweight fights next year
As for Hrgović, you can see he is quality and he bet Zhang who most people wouldn’t take a second look at, monster of a man, Joshua better keep clear of Hrgović or he will get his heads boxed off!

In reply to Post #3049
Can't see where he goes from there really, he's looking gun shy and as that's all he really had anyway I can see his team telling him to call it quits. Bivol was decent yeah, although he did look beatable. Not sure anything can be said about hrgovic really given his opponent may as well not even bothered putting his gloves on he was that uninterested in fighting. Aj looked to have a little bit of that spite back, be very interesting to see where he goes next .

In reply to Post #3048
Possibly. Very humble in defeat which was nice to see, and he basically said he was at peace with himself which I though was nice to hear, to be fair, he has nothing to prove, can’t say I was a fan from a purists point of view but there’s no doubt he can bang, and he will go down in boxing legacy with a record like that.
Bivol masterclass, but he did get hurt with that body shot. Wants Callum Smith or BB next, two good fights there, when they meet and he faces the winner 
Hrgović Is looking good
Great fight night that

He has been rocked a lot of times when you look back at his fights
The sad thing is, these key fights seem to be happening, should have happened years ago, but I suppose we shouldn’t grumble

|

In reply to Post #3038
Yep I think everyone knew that. He always had that robotic amatuer style. Textbook movements which are easy to read at the highest level. At that level you need an edge to be succesful. His edge was his fearless aggressive and poweful attacks but he lost that confidence and his edge when Ruiz concussed him. Now he appears affraid to commit for fear of being clipped again.
Wallin isnt a big hitter but he is awkward and a half decent boxer, if AJ tries to box it will go to points. If we see the old AJ he will throw everything at him for a stoppage. Need to see the latter from AJ really because we all know he cant box.
Like u say, to beat Wilder you need to put pressure on him, he does not like being bombarded, get in close so his long arms are not effective. Fury made it look easy going in and out. Itll be hard for Parker to emulate that tho being the smaller guy. Should be a decent fight but i think Wilder will smoke him with a heavy shot mid rounds.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #3037
I knew from when I first saw him he couldn’t box, zero lateral movement, planted feet, body builder who can punch with some backward and forward movement, sounds hard but that how it was, he has progressed a little, although he got the win in the second fight he looked like a ****ing robot
Usyk can box and that’s why he got battered and totally exposed. Totally wrong in both fights, head gone, he should have used his strength, bulldozered him into the corners and battered him that was his only chance, making it a dirty fight.
He is focused until he gets hit, OW is a very dangerous fight to take for me but if you are up there, there ain’t many easy ones unless you are truly world class
One of my biggest disappointments of this era is Parker, he can box but seems like he doesn’t want to get hurt and holds back, would love to see an aggressive version with kill on his mind and some bad intentions. I wish he would beat the bronze bummer but as we know, he has dynamite in the right hand, still he is friends with Fury so he will have had some good advise. He needs to be out of range slipping the bomb, in and up close, if he can keep Wilder on the back foot , make him fight at a high tempo, he stands a chance for me

In reply to Post #3033
In my opinion. It all went down hill for AJ after he fought Parker. Parker was the 1st fighter who didnt stand and trade shots with AJ. AJ had to chase him around the ring and actually box rather than slug. He realised soon after than he isnt that good at boxing. For years he relied on his fearless agression and power with very limited actual boxing skill. He then started going on about "learning the sweet science" changing his approach to try and learn how to actually box. He had a wobble in the dressing room before the Ruiz fight, some say he had a panick atrack, he said he was mentally drained which makes sense. His body language on the ring walk was all off aswell. He then gets clipped hard by Ruiz and no one had hit him like that before eventually losing the bout. I think AJ has alot of voices in his head, he seems to of lost his charactor we saw in his early career, the loss against Ruiz has rattled him. He lost his head in the ring after the Usyk fight. For a guy who used to preach about "staying humble" he certainly didnt follow his own advice. Now looking at AJ in the build up to this Wallin fight. He doesnt k ow what charactor he wants to be, the bad guy, the good guy, the quiet guy, the loud guy? He hasnt got a clue what his identity is anymore. He was very blunt in the interviews and just kept saying... im focused... im focused. Sounds to me like he is just acting.
As for this fight.... i think its the last chance saloon for him, it aint going to be easy against Wallin who is an akward southpaw. AJ will have to go sh*t or bust and go all out aggressive.

Probably pinning his hopes on Wilder has gone, what is he 43 now, power is the last thing to go. He has more of that than Joshua and faster hands!
To be fair I hope it does happen, it would be a very interesting watch
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #3034
oh no matter what the outcome
Im convinced Joshua WILL fight wilder as the ppv sales in the USA will probably break records And restore wilders fearsome reputation when he knocks out AJ
back before AJ got knocked out by Andy he probably had a real good chance but that boats sailed now he is gun shy and scared
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #3033
Agree
Imagine if he had the aggression or iron Mike but more importantly could box and move! Dangerous fight that against OW, can’t afford any slip ups there
I wish Parker would win but he is certainly up against it there with the bronze bummer
If the results happen as expected I wonder if Joshua will eventually have the balls to step through the ropes against Wilder, that will be a contest of two hammers and if he wins that, unlikely, he may restore some real credibility setting him up for a Fury fight?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #3032
I think Joshua should go to a hypnotist and get drummed into him you wont be scared of being hit
you wont be scared to commit to actually throw punches like your not scared to death etc
and just hope his corner tells him the truth
I can see Parker getting sparked

In reply to Post #3029
Disappointed tbh, I thought in a couple of years time he could have been one of the best boxers to come out of this country for a long time. Seen a few of his fights, leaves himself square open at times and lacks timing if I am being ultra critical, let’s hope he keeps boxing and he certainly should!!! Maybe another trainer takes him to another level
And… Rodriquez can’t make that weight for much longer, when he steps up he will lose

0H wow Peter McGrail was completely dominating and outboxing Ja'Rico O'Quinn who he knocked down twice then in round 5 got caught by a one punch knock out gutted

Should be a great fight, can’t beat those lighter fighters for some intense action. I used to really like his brother, Charlie, nasty little ****er who liked a tear up

Fights like this, everything is on the line though, somebody’s “0” has got to go!

Rodriguez Vs Edwards
IMO one of the most important fights of the year this weekend

In reply to Post #3025
I like that lad, wears his heart on his sleeve so to speak, likes a fight
TBH i saw him as a British champion level, so can’t knock the lad at all. Not the best defense or movement, powerful and likes a war which could be his downfall against a quality boxer. I thought the same, was blowing early and just didn’t seem at the races for me, took far too many unnecessary punches in that fight trying to walk him down, lucky he got the stoppage because he was down on points for me by quite a way
Don’t think there is an easy fight when you are knocking around that level though, unless you are very special 
Easy to pass comments when you are not on the end of it

Poor performance from CBS that, tried to walk him down and got his head boxed off. Thought the last couple of body shots looked to hurt the Pole, took the wind straight out of his sales, then doesn’t come back out for the next round, can only think his ribs have gone

In reply to Post #3015
Thought the Garcia fight was poor, danced around the ring avoiding contact for most of the fight Garcia. Duarte was poor, out of range then stood in front of him, couldn’t plant his feet to throw either. Bit of a lucky punch for Garcia for me after dancing around for so long, but he landed. Duarte wants to watch GGG and how he cuts the ring off, that was missing. Can’t say I’m a big fan of Garcia, can give it but can’t take it, reminds me a lot of Khan, gangly with fast hands. Fight people like that and they have to put it on them with multiple punches and Duarte didn’t, or you have to be super slick on the counter like Tank. I think Duarte will have learned a lot from that though.
I’m sure Garcia will be pleased too, since DH and BH we’re tipping him to lose!
Some performance from Gill that!

Managed to keep CC at range better this time around, super sharp hand speed and good movement, didn’t get sucked in to CC fight like last time. What a fight though that, woman’s boxing is certainly on the map now
And one judge gives it a draw and the other KT by 98 - 92 WTF

Congratulations to Katie Taylor
For weeks Katie Taylor said that her rematch with Chantelle Cameron would be a completely different fight and the Irish icon was true to her word, scoring a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Chantelle Cameron to claim the undisputed super lightweight championship. Official scores were 98-92, 96-94, and 95-95.
|
|
|
|
|
Well Katie Taylors last throw of the dice tonight, has her work cut out for me, she had better be on top form plus some because CC gave her a once over last time, too strong for me. Can’t see how KT is going to do it if I’m honest other than box, move and be super slick, she has the faster hands, but that is energy zapping, last time she got drawn into CC game, can not afford to be in a tear up. If it’s anything like the first fight it should be great watch because they can both box

Nice one mate.
He won by quite a margin and it may well be as that margin could stand him in good stead to go one better than what Denzel managed.
We never had any doubt that he could pull it off and the plan worked to a treat.
I love the lad and before the title fight said he would be paying me a visit with the belt should he pull it off.

Sounds about right to me. Fury hit FN with some good shots, just didn’t phase him, that’s when you know you are in for a hard night
Look at what he did with Otto Wallin, well off the game that night and that cut could have finished him!
To be fair, he openly admits he is mentally I’ll which is sad really but I guess that’s why he is up and down, I’m guessing there may have been a loss of focus for FN thinking he would walk it. He could have and should have jabbed his head off!
|
|
|
|
Well after watching the fight a few times now
Im going to be unpopular
as I think it was very very close but Fury just nicked it with the help of his point scoring Jabs thru out the fight after the Knockdown
EDIT
It turns out that despite Ngannou's best efforts, Fury managed to land more punches over the ten rounds.
According to CompuBox, the Salford-born star managed to land 71 of the 223 jabs he threw at his opponent.
On the other hand, Ngannou threw 231 punches but only made contact with 59 of his attempts.
Fury also reigned supreme in six of the ten rounds, while Ngannou had his time to shine in the third, fourth and eight rounds

In reply to Post #2987
Agree. I think the USYK fight will happen around May
To be fair it is what he needed, he won’t play about next time, typical gypsy showboating and gloating, out on the piss the night before too
Don’t judge the Usyk fight on that it will be totally different to fighting FN!!!
FN deserves another shot too after a performance like that, although I would expect a different outcome
|
|
|
|
Who is the fat sausage now?!
The whole thing was a farce. Two hours from the Wardley fight to the Fury fight. What a bore that was after an entertaining undercard. The fight itself was much better than expected and Fury lost it, but the WBC couldn’t have that (despite the belt not being up for grabs) and the judges obliged.
Fair play to Ngannou, he was solid and took the injustice on the chin, he obviously knew it was coming.
I very much doubt we will ever see Fury in the ring fighting Usyk. He would rather keep the unbeaten ‘Gypsy King’ myth alive as, for my money, Usyk outsmarts and outboxes him every time.
My guess is he retires again, then comes back (again) for another big money fight against a non boxer or two.
Without the Usyk fight can we really say that Fury was the generational great that we were lead to believe? Who does he really have on his record apart from Wilder and a 39 year old Klitschko? And while the Wilder fights were entertaining can we really say that beating him over 3 fights was such a feat?
Yes, obviously Wilder has freakish power in his fists, but how many tests has he really had other than Fury? He sat on the WBC belt fighting very beatable challengers twice a year for 5 years. Smart, but not exactly the stuff of greatness.

FN is a striker, unbelievable power, 17 stone of pure muscle, and knows how to train for a fight, think he opened a lot of peoples eyes.
Very, very powerful man. As much as I like Fury he is a boxer who carries a lot of weight but he does not have the dynamite for the power to weight ratio and the devastating one shot power, aka Wilder lol

I'd like to see ngannou in with old windmill one day, it would be fun while it lasted

In reply to Post #2983
Basically he got the game plan all wrong, expected FN to come out swinging to he could counter him. FN brilliantly disciplined, wait for Fury to throw then tried to counter, who has the biggest hammer
Heavyweight’s, takes one shot, fury was put down in the 3rd, landed but off balance and FN caught him on the side of the head. Scrappy really and for the first time ever Fury looked clueless until he strung a few jabs together
Can’t knock FN, machine, rock solid, full of muscle and would happily stand toe to toe with anybody
They reckon Fury was out the night before 
Fight like this do make a mockery out of boxing but that fight probably shocked us all, takes one single punch. As for the Fury’s I am inclined to think as mentioned below, you can take the gypsy from the camp but you can’t take the camp from the gypsys, mongs, John Fury what a cock, he fancies a slice of the cake with the real Tyson
Shouldn’t be allowed to fight for the bets either unless they have progressed down the boxing route

I would like to see AJ fight Wilder and I agree, both have the power, Wilder has the success rate though.I don’t think anybody likes Wilder except for a few yanks!
Agree, Ortiz could have won both of those, far superior boxer, just succumbed to the bomb
Fury exposed Wilder as a one trick pony, aggressive fighter with a wide stance looking to land the bomb, put him on the back foot, clueless. Master class from Fury in all 3 fights, first one boxed him on the back foot, second one battered him on the front foot, third one bit of everything. For a big guy his movement, and skills are incredible!
Usyk is a great boxer no doubt but you could argue his record is not the greatest, Bellew etc who I can’t say I am a big boxing fan off. Still, you can only fight who is around at the time
End of the day we are being super critical because any of the above could wipe us out with the wind off their gloves

Ive not called usyk a great Chris. Not sure where you keep plucking that from? But he has 3 belts. That makes him a heavyweight champion! The dubois fight was one where some saw it as a low blow, others saw it as a fair shot and dubois was robbed. At the end of the day what happened, happened and you can only go with the refs decision. Personally it looked like a clean shot to me. But would usyk have got up within the 10 count? Who knows. He didn't need to because the ref gave him time for a low blow.
Agreed wilder is a nasty ******* , can't stand the man and hope he gets beat every time he sets foot in the ring . He had a few challengers for it too?10 of them And he's been on his way to losing a few fights along the way and got out of jail with a big right hand. Even that Artur spika was beating him until he got sloppy , and the over the hill chisora absolutely destroyed spika with ease . Ortiz was winning both fights until the right landed too even though he's god knows what age. His record has great numbers I'll agree, but names on that record? Not so much. I agree aj doesn't stand much of a chance, especially these days as it's pretty clear he's mentally weakened . But wilder can be hurt too so if aj could land first anything is possible. Not that I think he would because of being gun shy these days. Can't see either of them having much left in them tbh, 2 or 3 fights each maybe .

In reply to Post #2973
And yet he holds 3 of the 4 belts
And Dubious was SO close, are you going to say that he would be a great if he won too lol. Usyk ain’t put them together.The same collection Joshua put together before he was exposed again and again and again. Like it or not the belt was the WBC who nobody would challenge for whilst Joshua was doing the sweepings up. Wilder would absolutely well and truly obliterate him, the man ain’t no defence!
And then a man who is mentally I’ll, 10 stone overweight with a drugs and alcohol problem as a result, does major draining weight loss and comes along and beats the WBC dosser 3 times, now that is something that NO former heavyweight champ has ever done and probably will not again, that alone is pretty, unbelievable, ****ing amazing!!!
I think Wilder is the most dangerous fight for Usyk, and he won’t take it 
Wilder is a nasty MF, but as somebody once said, you don’t go in there to tickle each other lol

In reply to Post #2972
But you said he wasn't a true heavyweight champion ? And yet he holds 3 of the 4 belts? And yet old windmill isn't a champion anymore either? Granted he can't be called a heavyweight great and at his age it's doubtful he has got enough time left to ever be called one. Even if he beats fury and wilder . Don't think he's got much chance against fury Tbh, but wilder I'm not so sure. That one could go either way for me.
In reality, who has wilder fought? He's got a massively padded résumé himself , other than fury he's got nobody. And the man is an utter tool. Saying he won't retire happy if he doesn't have a body on his record. He can't box for toffee either, all he has is that power, hence he came up short against someone with actual skills ,even though he made every excuse under the sun he simply wasn't the better fighter . Not even close

In reply to Post #2971
Great boxer USYK no doubt, athlete. not a true heavyweight and who has he fought at heavy so far, a well over the hill Chisora, Joshua who can’t box for toffee, body builder, and he lost or should have against Dubios so that makes him a great does it, wins over those 3 lol, come back when he has clocked up over 20 then we can talk about greatness
And all of those 3 are not even close to Fury or even Wilder.
I don’t dislike Joshua, great role model, but I knew from the start he was not the one that everybody was making him out to be, his fights were cherry picked over the years, he is a very powerful lad but lacks boxing skills, and movement, massively
And as for Holyfield he was a proper boxer, athlete, and warrior and you can’t compare USYK with him, he has been in wars, look at the fights he had!
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2970
How is usyk not a heavyweight champion in your eyes Chris? Because he took the belts from aj who you have a clear dislike of? Or because he's an ex cruiserweight? (Just like haye/holyfield before him)
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2967
Take him out of the equation and it only leaves Wilder as a true heavyweight champion for me. Far too much politics in boxing, the belts should dictate who fights who next.
and that dikhead father of his is a disgrace an embarrassment
Made me laugh, he was offering Mike Tyson out, let’s have a straightener lol. I am quite confident in saying that MT (who truly is one of the greatest of all time) could put him out in 3 if he wanted to and that’s if he didn’t catch him right with the first two
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2967
He's signed to fight usyk next so not sure why everyone has the arse about that now?
|
|
|
|
Right from day one when everyone was slagging Tyson Fury off
I could see he was trying to sell himself and could see he had a boxing brain and became a BIG fan
he can box either hand and switch seamlessly very gifted boxer
but recently I have gone right off him its not about the sport its simply greed and money he could easily have made the usk fight but was just to greedy
and that dikhead father of his is a disgrace an embarrassment
no I hope he gets knocked the fook out unlikely but it could happen
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2966
Can’t knock him for what has gone before but to then take the proverbial out of such a great sport I find galling in all honesty. Should be about becoming undisputed and been one of the best in your era. To then fight someone that’s never boxed before solely for the money (he’s made as it is) really does take the 9155 out of the sport and out of himself really. Not for me.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2965
I don't think you can put Tyson in the same category as his brother. Tyson is the heavyweight champion of the world, twice now. He earned those belts. He's gone to the reigning champions back yard and taken them from them both times, he's gone into the ring with the biggest knock out artist the division has ever seen and beaten him multiple times. . His brother is all show and no go, he's not good enough to win belts at even European level so is taking the money option. This is just a warm up for usyk, nothing more than that. But one he is being paid an awfully large sum of money for, and it's his job after all. If anyone was offered a huge sum of money to do their usual job, but made a lot easier ,they'd take it.

Another strange one, the man seriously is mental
Why he would want to fight FN is beyond me, great payout but that man can seriously bang, still Fury is slick enough, says he is going to go toe to toe with him lol, I believe him, and that is dangerous

Well, the main concern for me is where JC goes next, who are the fights. I wish he would be another British world champion but he has some learning to do for me as he steps up. last night he will have learned a lot though. Thought Linares was very good with the footwork, also managed to get his left outside JC right foot for most of the night which in turn, JC struggled to land any really powerful shots, swinging across his body, very wide stance too which didn’t help either. Good news he got the decision but I wouldn’t say it was as convincing as I would have like to have seen, he needs to get some fights in, but hey ho, up JC
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2958
Don't think it's much of a test Tbh, Linares is so far past his best it's a bit of a joke imo. Lost his last 3 and is just a name for a jacks record. Should be a very comfortable win, probably on points but possibly late stoppage
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2957
I hope JC boxes his ears off, good test that, dangerous though Linares even though he is at the end of his career

I thought the undercard was brilliant had some cracking fights thought it was a shame Terri Harper got a draw think she had edged it and done enough for the win and Josh was doing so well until he got stopped and that was a fair stoppage IMO
and that bloody BUNCE should be sacked his awful voice I just cant listen to it either

Was a good scrap and a clash of styles, knew they would both go for wit though
Have to feel for Warrington because I think he had done the better work and was edging it for me until he was caught. Question the stoppage though, should have let it go one more for me. Think there will be a rematch?

I watched it last night and to me it looked like charlo being that bad rather than canelo being that good. For me he's way past his best . Now that ls over he is apparently going to get benavidez as his mandatory. Which imo he loses
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2931
yes CANELO bossed the fight completely won every round apart from maybe one Charlo`s record suggested he was going to be a real threat but he was nothing like I expected
Caroline Dubois had a great fight and is now the new IBO lightweight champion and will have learnt a lot from that fight
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2930
What a performance that was! No respect for Charlo, just walked him down, happy to take one to give one, proper solid shots from Canelo
Charlo, pretty clueless and scared to throw (no surprise), says a lot about Canelo

wow CANELO is bossing this winning every round

I don't think AJ is much of a drawer for anyone now really, just not got anything to concern the best.

He should have never taken that fight in the first place, they should have been lining up for Usyk, madness!

Smith must of had a big problem he did not turn up
Apparently he had to cut 42lbs (three stone) to make weight for his rematch and had a lower back injury
and glad Azim got some rounds in he will have learnt from that
|
|
|
|
Well that was probably the weirdest night of boxing ive ever been to.
Moran absolutely blitzed . Azim put under alot of pressure , Dave allen never threw any punches while frazer clarke tried to wipe out his meat and two veg ! And then Liam smith who looked like he had had his voice box and windpipe removed. He never got started hardly threw anything and was struggling to breath properly from round 2 . He never spoke in his corner and never responded to what was being said to him .His ankles are always like that he over extends and has such a wide stance . Never seen him throw so few punches and absolutely no power in them .He was rubbing his eyes constantly like his vision was impaired maybe from the punch that floored him . Eubank was so much better than the first fight as smith was so much worse !
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2903
Similar to me, wild punches though, how many missed!
Liam Smith just didn’t look at the races, flat? Eubank just tried to power him out, he had no choice.
Azim copped for some there, coming up the levels now, he got hit with some good shots too
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2902
A demolition. Fair play to Eubank, that’s the way to pipe down the haters.
Smith ain’t on the football pitch tomorrow with those ankles..
|
|
|
|
|
Well i detest Eubank, ****ing hate him. But Smith was never in that. He got smashed apart from round 2 until the ref finally put him out of his misery. No idea what the difference this time but Eubank was determined and Smith was never ever in it.
|
|
|
|
|
eu**** is dominating this beefy is being out boxed

Unless Smith can pull off a minor Miracle, he's going to lose sadly. Eubank Jr has systematically destroyed him. Doesn't look like he has a lot left
|

In reply to Post #2898
Yea, it was easy enough in the end and the Ukrainian was tough enough.Azim had a very good 8th round. Clarke’s crowd could learn a thing or two from the Mcguigan’s about building a career for a fighter.

To me he felt it, didn’t fancy a follow up and conned the ref.
As for Dubois I thought he was getting better from round 6 and then for someone so young to then look like he’d all of a sudden hit a brick wall doesn’t bode well for me.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2875
Played the ref there Usyk, that was game over.
Dubious can’t take a punch either, gets rocked far to easily, don’t get me wrong it was a stiff jab and he was stepping in with it but that should not have put him down, think he was exhausted
Based on that Tyson Fury whoops Usyk arse, KO
|
|
|
|
|
He made out and acted like it was a low blow because he felt it and the ref fell for it.
|

he was robbed no question IMO as the

Was praying Dubois got through that 9th then it could have set me up nicely for the 10th.
Had that not have been given as a low blow I just don’t see Usyk staying down and giving his belts up.
No way was that shot low.

|

In reply to Post #2868
DD was tired, made to fight at pace, think we all new who we fancied for the later rounds. Need to see the shot again because it looked on the belt to me and if that were the case DD was robbed

Dubois has a good chin problem with him is he cuts easily. I will say this if dubois catches him usyk will know about it . Im hoping he does usyk is not a heavyweight and to me should,nt hold those belts.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2861
Similar to me.
Could turn out to be interesting, for me Dubious has to have him out of there within 6 or severely ruffed up for an 8th round KO or it’s Usyk for me
Dubious chin is questionable though, great big lump, the only real chance he has is to smash him all around the ropes early on, cannot see him doing a jab job on Usyk, too slick. Dubious has the power though and one on the button could do it. Great opportunity for the Brit
Looking at the weigh in, DD looks in good shape, lightest he been too, around 5kg in it, I’ve see Usyk look leaner. Maybe he is expecting a wrestling match lol
I bet Fury is watching with interest

I think Joyce is a better boxer than he is given credit for sadly not against a southpaw though
@jeffire
yes Jeff 100% agree fook knows why they employ David Haye he is as you say hopeless and Tony Bellew if he is a mate is so bias in his commentary its embarrassing
as an actual commentator in a live boxing match I like Froch
|
|

After what a static Joyce did to Dubois then unless that big punch of his doesn’t land then I can see the same outcome.

Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois ring walk around 22.00 UK time could be explosive we all know Dubois has tremendous punching power and he has got boxing skills still learning though IMO but Usyk is a very good boxer and has to hope he can prevent him from landing the big bombs
I am hoping Dubois shocks everyone shows skills and sparks him

I watched a bit of the “highlights” that popped up whilst scrolling though you tube
|
|
|
|
Well I wonder if AJs KO win will restore his confidence ?
He was landing a good solid left jab regularly but ???
he never followed it with getting closer and throwing the right ?? he seemed scared of getting a counter I heard him talking to his corner about the right in the round before he landed it I have never noticed a fighter take so much notice of the corner its like he needs to be told what to do ?

In reply to Post #2844
And there you go again with the name calling.... It's funny how nobody else seems to need to "emphasize" a point anywhere near as often as you do. I merely made a point of you calling somebody a "nobody " was a bit off, and as usual you throw your toys out of your pram. Let's be honest,plenty of people have called you out for your capital letter outbursts haven't they?
I really don't need a pm from you thanks, I know exactly what you are talking about and quite frankly, being very ott about it. Differences of opinion happen, get over it.

Looks like a new opponent for aj will be announced this morning. Sounds like either Gerald Washington or Robert helanius. Either way, I can't see either being even a remotely decent fight

In reply to Post #2841
That's a very ironic post Gerry
And I haven't called anyone a liar either, people can disagree with each other without it turning into an argument with lots of capital letters and name calling like you are so fond of doing . It's called discussion and its what forums are about.

Then you should have said he's a nobody in the sport of boxing, and not just a nobody.
dont tell me what I should have posted ?.......... you argumentative T*** !

In reply to Post #2835
Then you should have said he's a nobody in the sport of boxing, and not just a nobody. I'm a boxing fan, have been since I was a boy ,and I know his name. I've watched him fight a few times. And there are many a boxing fan who is the same. I agree with you about the purse splits etc, but it will never happen. The problem with boxing is there are too many governing bodies and too many belts, and that's what will stop the purse split rules happening

Talking of a boxing and an MMA embarrassment, I was looking at you tube earlier, Diaz lost to Jake ****ing Paul, shame it wasn’t an MMA contest

In reply to Post #2834
He IS a nobody in the sport of boxing
if he wasnt about to fight fury no boxing fan would ever hear his name ! and yes Fury hasnt got a mandatory at the moment but he is sticking 2 fingers up to all the fight fans that want to see him make the fights that they want to see
Mauricio Sulaiman has stated the WBC may give him one soon but Im not holding my breath
just my personal opinion but I would love there to be rules about purse splits so stop all the greed
of course it would never happen BUT
60/40 to the winner ( they are both putting their lives on the line regardless ) would in my eyes be the best/fairest and if it was set in stone just think how much easier matches could be made

In reply to Post #2832
It's a bit unfair to call Francis nganou a nobody Gerry, he's right at the top of the MMA game. Yeah he's not a boxer, but he's not a nobody either. He has as much chance as any of the big lads ,he can bang with the best of them and it only takes one.. no, I don't think he will land it, but I didn't think wilder would land on fury either and he did a few times. Talk of fury being stripped is a bit daft when he doesn't actually have a mandatory at the moment.

In reply to Post #2832
The gypsy king is out for the $. Can’t blame him really. FN is going to get his ears boxed off
I agree though, the best should fight the best and the belts should make that happen. The sad side, boxing politics rules 
He will fight Usyk
As for Usyk vs. Dubious, talking about farces. Still if DD lands he could easily spark Usyk, he needs to go in there, walk him straight down, put it on him, put that son of a bitch out, lol, out of there in 4 otherwise it’s a one way contest, not that I care much anyway
For DD iits probably a chance he would never have otherwise
|
|
|
|
I have always been a fan of tyson fury right
from his early days when he was trying to do the Cassius Clay bit and get noticed and famous I thought he was a boxer with a boxing brain could fight with either hand and switch so easily but now !
I think he should be stripped as he is the one that through sheer greed has avoided the fights he should of made
and my biggest hope would be if this Francis Ngannou nobody lands a big bomb and sparks him

In reply to Post #2828
Great performance from TC, superb
Spence was exposed by the champ but respect, he gave it his all until the stoppage. Thought the double jab was working well for him, unsettling Crawfords footwork but he stopped throwing it. Should have thrown the liver shot more often but Crawford was superb with the elbow blocks and counter too.
This game is about levels and Crawford showed he is one up against the rest, what a fighter ✊
|
|
|
|
|
Well the Spence vs Crawford was a cracking fight,he was just too clever for Spence and his jab did the job.The angles that Crawford throws from and the power he can generate is quite scary,it doesn't even look like he has to throw big haymakers to ko you

In reply to Post #2824
This truly is a super fight and everything that is right about this sport. Two unbeaten champions, both at their peak and both unbeaten, they know how to win and that’s what makes them very special and this fight special, they don’t come around too often fights like these
Makes a mockery out of those heavyweight bums and the politics and rightly so

Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence one of the biggest fights in the last 20 years
This undisputed welterweight title clash will take place on Saturday, July 29. It is being held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The undercard will get underway from 1am BST, with the main event ring walks expected around 4am on Sunday morning UK time.

In reply to Post #2822
Agree
He looks supremely confident, I think it’s just showboating, I’m sure there are some bad intentions behind those smiles lol. I bet most peoples money is on Crawford, he is superb that’s for sure!
Never been a big Spence fan but I have to say he is a solid boxer with one of the best left hands in the business, times it beautifully too, one of those could put Terrance away so it could lead to a very interesting fight for me

Fulton too static and easy to hit, needed to whip those counters in hard to get Inoue thinking

It was. Mcgregor just wasn,t allowed to fight the way he normally does solid jab at range then moving in for body shots robles set out from first bell with fast hands smothering him an excellent fight not a second without a punch thrown . Those mexicans are tough nuts the pair of them were fantastic.

What a fight that Mcgregor vs Robles was,they went at it from the first bell.

Not seen it as yet.
Regarding Josh Kelly, he was the next big thing when he came on the scene and I like the lad but I always question that low hand show boating style, you have to be super slick and super quick to make that work consistently, people have had his number quite a few times now, he needs to change his defence and style but I can’t see that happening. As already mentioned, due to the style lacks the power too. Only one real show boater who carried power for me and that was Naz, he could punch!

Please tune in if one is able to boxing tv (Dan Hewitt) as tonight at 8.30pm (YouTube and Facebook) speaks with top referee Tony Weeks. Other guests include Robbie Brown, Will Storey, Stefan Hanks and the one I find fascinating and inspirational is Scottish boxer Christianne Fahey who if able to watch will see for themselves as hopefully she provides us with an insight into her life outside of boxing which in all honesty having met her up in Scotland a few weeks ago is truly an amazing young woman and an inspiration to many many others.

As a fan it is very disappointing but when you have the likes of Hearn lining his pocket it all becomes political, not to mention the Don King era!
The belts should make them take mandatory fights, if not strip them and arrange a match with the two other best contenders. Its the boxers and the promotion team who is lining up who will fight who! If it has to happen then they sort it out or lose the belts
Lot of corruption in the sport
Regarding Tyson Fury, heart of a lion and brain of a mouse. I’m pretty sure it’s all a psychological ploy with him. I think the fight with Uysk will happen when he has wound him up enough

In reply to Post #2780
That is the problem but to be honest I have no interest in the heavyweight division at the moment.Fighters coming out on social media spouting absolute drivvle and making demands Its not like they're not making life changing amounts of money,surely wanting to be the best by beating the best is the motivation for a true champion
|
|
|
|
|
For as long as the interest/money is there then the fighters and promoters will lap it up and continue to pull in the big bucks. So much for wanting to be the undisputed best in your weight division which in all honesty is a farce for not wanting to be considered the best.

Well said Braders, these really are the fights that we want to see
Everyone’s money is on Crawford, mine too but I will say this, Spence has one of the best left hands in the business for me and his timing is out of this world, he has the reach too so for me it could be a proper cracker

Taylor was very poor, don’t know if it was ring rust or just on the downhill slope sadly, looked lethargic, fight had a low tempo and he was just trying to bomb Lopez all the time, should have put him on the jab, that’s his weapon
Credit to Lopez, he was up for it, can’t see where he goes after this if I’m honest

HOW THE **** did one judge get a draw? 112-112?

What a disgrace to British boxing Okolie is
Ref should have just disqualified him, embarrassing ffs! He has nothing other than trying for that big overhand right !
Sugar hill cheating **** too!

Sam Eggington, what a finish!
Respect to Sam, tough lad and if you were in a fight with him you are in a fight! I always saw him as a top class journey man but he gets better and better. Pigford, what a tit, thought he would walk it, had to laugh. Low lead hand which soon became glued to his head before he got finished. What a performance from SE, superb!

In reply to Post #2744
Okolie Smith could well be a good fight I go for Okolie by storage rounds 6 - 9
Lara Woods 2 with Lara having to vacate his World Title I'm sure it will make him even more determined to win tonight
Also the extra weight could really be a telling factor
Campbell Hatton on the undercard tonight be good to see our his progression

In reply to Post #2740
Yes looking at the boxing stats apparently Loma threw and landed more punches and more power shots general feeling seems a close fight but loma should of won by 2 rounds??
I listened to Katie Taylor and sounds like she lost and was great scoring by the Judges so that's a bigwin for boxing
|
|
|
|
It was close but Lomo robbed for me
Haney has no power! Those body shots weren’t really scoring either, zero damage or effect. Does not like being hit either, every time Lomo landed a solid shot he look scared ****less!
Haney will struggle to continually make that weight for me too

Haney vs. lomo weigh in soon. Set to be a cracker this
Can’t make my mind up who will win this, if Haney does then that is some statement for me, and could be a champ for a long time, youth and all, great counter puncher and pretty slick with that low lead hand, there was only one Floyd Mayweather though lol. One thing for sure he ain’t fighting Kambosos tomorrow night and Loma is a great boxer, potential to be fight of the year for me and also a one sided affair too if Lomo has his number

Isn’t Smith down to be fighting Beterbiev next, hope it happens, tricky fight but I hope Smith wins
Hopefully sets up a fight with Bivol, saying that Canelo is wanting that in September listening to his post fight interview with Ryder
|

In reply to Post #2730
Put both buatsi and yarde in against callum smith right now i know which one will walk out.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2727
Buatsi performance was very disappointing ok he won but looked very average
I didn’t see it but I keep an eye on him, he looks a class act but I was wondering how long it was before he reached his level or was it just a one off, will have to have a look. There’s quite a few fighters around that weight now that produce some very good fights imho. TBH, can’t see anybody coming close to Bivol for a while, solid boxing skills.
Buatsi vs. Yarde could be a UK cracker
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2728
100% agree about Lauren Price hard as nails also love the way she's always boxing on the front foot 🥊
As for Buatsi he looked proper ring rusty needs to up his game massively and fight real soon not leave it another 12 months
|

In reply to Post #2727
Buatsi boring beyond belief ! Lauren price stole the show hard as nails.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2726
Buatsi performance was very disappointing ok he won but looked very average
and Canelo could not put on the knockout show that was expected
John Ryder was amazing losing on points took everything Canelo had and forced him to the distance losing on points
but seemed to me Canelo had lost a lot of his head movement and on that showing I cant see him beating Bivol ?
who he called out after the fight
saying he wants the rematch with Dmitry Bivol as his next fight in September. Canelo says he wants the Bivol bout at 175 lbs under the same terms as the last time they fought in May 2022
just cant see him beating Bivol ?
|
|
|
|
|
What a performance form JR, went the distance with the pound for pound king, tough man
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2724
yes I agree it would be amazing
but this match is in front of his passionate fans to put on a show after his recent defeat
and its expected to be a a one sided fight and ESPECIALLY as its his first
fight in his home country for the first time in more than 11 years !!! Mexican pride and all that
BUT this is boxing and unlikely things can and do happen sometimes and OMG wouldnt it be great if the upset happened
Live Fight Night:Buatsi v Stepien sky sports 19.00 tonight too

In reply to Post #2723
Wouldn’t it be brilliant if Ryder went out and beat him in his own back yard though? Unlikely I know, but JR is a tough man, you never know.
|
|
|

In reply to Post #2722
Can’t see that been much more than a workout for Canelo myself, levels and all

Canelo Alvarez is to face John Ryder next on Saturday 6th May 2023. The fight will take place at Estadio Akron, Zapopan, Mexico. The fight will be shown on DAZN Global in the UK

Tank out boxed him no question

Not sure if people like the BKNB, followed it for a while now. Brutal fight including two northern lads last night, real man’s game

In reply to Post #2717
Masterclass from Davis
You don’t run a world class counter puncher down in the second as Garcia tried to do, you will get hit and he did. Tank touched Garcia’s right all night and took the jab away, Garcia couldn’t and didn’t throw the right or he would have got countered. 6-8 rounds he said, over in 7. Superb
Agree about the rematch. The old iron Mike analogy, everybody has a game plan until you get hit in the face. That was Garcia after the second
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2716
Tank just too powerful for Garcia
Has soon as Tank floored Garcia in the 2nd round it was only a matter of time before Tank stopped Garcia
Definitely no need for a rematch Garcia ain't in Tanks league
|
|
|
|
|
ITS TIME the fight starts now
|
|
|

Babic gets stopped, I bet many were not expecting that, rabbit in headlights springs to mind, put it on him!
Great BKNB tonight if anybody watches it, Danny Christie flops Holmes
|

In reply to Post #2713
I was impressed with Garcia when he beat Campbell I didnt expect that TBH
I would love to see Tank' Davis get stopped but he is a skilled boxer and a very tough man
should be a great match
|

In reply to Post #2710
This for me could well be the fight of the year both boxers are quality
I'm going for a Tank stoppage late 10th - 11th round

Super fight in the States, Tank vs. Garcia, set up to be an absolute cracker

He has called out both Usyk and Fury
Watched the post fight interviews, Joyce is better avoiding that rematch!
It will be interesting to see who Zhang can get next. A Chinese heavyweight bout in China, imagine that. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2705
Joyce - Joshua good fight for both fighter's
Zhang - Whyte ?
Joyce looked completely lost against the southpaw stance of Zhang
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2704
Exactly
Joyce looks like he’s been run over by a bus, closed that eye in 3
Said it was a dangerous fight beforehand, should never have taken that
Zhang, powerful man, touched Joyce jab early on and blew him away
Poor movement from Joyce as the juggernaut gets derailed, said it to myself many times as I’ve watched him, great jab and can take a punch but very static and easy to hit
Could this set up Joyce and Joshua?
Who wants Zhang
|
|
|
|
|
Zhang a quality fighter and blew joyce away
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2702
It would be an interesting fight, can take a punch Joyce and has a far superior jab to Joshua for me and it think that’s his strengths. Did a proper job on DD with it
Looking forward to it G, hopefully a good fight
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2701
Joshua on his last few fights would not stand any chance at all
Joe would march straight thru him and probably stop him IMHO Joe has come on in leaps and bounds

In reply to Post #2700
If he gets through this OK, I would love to see him fight Joshua
|

In reply to Post #2699
just hope he has been sparring with southpaws could be a dangerous match for him but a fight I am really looking forward to
|

In reply to Post #2698
Joyce looks in the shape of his life for me
He will need to be, if Zhang nulifys his jab it could be one tough night

I wonder how old Zhang really is
Set up to be a good fight, brutal, both are tough men, let’s hope nobody get seriously hurt
Based on Joshua’s last outing I would put my money on Joyce to jab his head off!
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2692
Yes against a really good Southpaw
Joe will be tested thats for sure but with his incredible granite chin he has a chance to really make a statement if he can stop Zhang

I have seen ZHANG fight once, he was unlucky and wow, he is one very tuff fella
That was a couple of years ago, if he is anything like he was that is a dangerous fight for Joyce and a hard fight too, something he does not want for me

In reply to Post #2688
Thought Joshua clearly dominated from round 6/7 but I ain’t a clue how bellow could have him winning the first 8 (think it was) or 9.
And still looked like a robot
|
|

Anthony Joshua on the one show, great role model for the sport .

good test for Joe fighting a good southpaw cant wait for this one
JOYCE VS ZHANG

In reply to Post #2687
Thought Joshua clearly dominated from round 6/7 but I ain’t a clue how bellow could have him winning the first 8 (think it was) or 9.
Fury toys with him and Wilder rinses him too.
Agree with you in that I hope Joyce gets his big shot at it as he not only deserves it but is a threat.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2685
the judges' scorecards with two cards scoring the fight 117-111 and the other 118-111 all in favour of Joshua
he clearly won the fight but he again seemed gun shy and lacked any real aggression ? its laughable he could get anywhere with the top men
I really hope Joe Joyce gets his chance at a big money fight fuk knows what Frank Warren is playing at and maybe Eddie Hearn is scared of big Joe and what he could do to his fighters ? ?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2684
I see he has called Fury out now that he has no belts or options, I knew he would, surprise!!!
All that ducking and diving over the years, If i were Fury I would let the useless **** rot
What’s up, doesn’t he want Usyk
How about Wilder
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2684
Not sure how Bellow had his scorecard of the first (think it was) 8 rounds to Joshua.
Poor performance from Joshua and nothing new in there either.
|
|
|
|

Franklin has had good last couple of rounds,I hope he catches AJ and puts him down.AJ would not stand a chance with Fury or Wilder.Based on that performance Whyte would beat AJ

Why do big fights with Fury keep breaking down,I was really hoping he would get to fight Usyk.There is too much going on behind the scenes now,the best should fight the best and give the fans what they want to see
|
|
|
|
I want to see Joe Joyce in a big money fight he has improved so much and could give REAL problems to anyone I am so impressed after his last fight
I dont think anyone wants to fight him after seeing his last fight
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2674
Make or break exactly and I think he then has to fight Tyson Fury to gain back any credibility or are we going to see another Hearn shown lining up another crowd of bums before he is finally cornered into fighting someone decent

Watching Gomez Jr vs Giles,been a good fight and for me Giles is winning it.
Boxing is corrupt as ****,not a chance Gomez won that by the margin two judges gave it,at least one judge gave it right

Nothing more than psychological games for me and Fury can afford to toy around
I did see Usyk saying Fury should donate to Ukraine as part of the deal, I’m guessing he might
Should be a good fight, Fury will rough him up big time, might have him out in the first 6 for me
It ain’t going to be a Joshua fight this

Looks like your right Gerry 70-30 split agreed just before the 10pm deadline.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2656
Even Andy Lee said in an interview that all the Fury family care about is money. It’s not right that a proper fighter like Usyk would have to take such a hit on the purse, after all he has the majority of belts. But, you get the feeling that Usyk would fight anyone for pride and hopefully the possibility of a unification will mean he’ll allow Fury’s b***ocks and the fight will still be made.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2655
Im quite shocked as Fury was always going on about he dont need the money blah blah then couple of years later he is demanding a 70/30 split ? wonder if its his gobby dad thats behind it ? anyway Usyk will give in and take the 30 I would bet
|
|
|
|
Looks like Tyson Fury is getting too greedy for the Usyk fight to go ahead. Surely they would want this fight to go ahead regardless of the purse just to unify the belts.

Was a bit of a farce
Credit to the YouTube bum he was better than I expected but he had been paying for some top trainers but you could see his wild punches now and again
Tommy Fury is still young but he struggled to dispatch Paul. Carries far too much muscle for me and without being disrespectful he is not world champ material, you tube / love island champ
Good discussion afterwards with. Carl Froch etc. when You tubers take over “world class” it’s where the moneys at, what is this world coming too

Hey there. I'm just starting out and I'm in need of some advice on which gloves to buy. I've done a bit of research and found that Everlast, RDX, and Venum are popular brands for beginners. However, with so many options available, I'm curious to hear what you guys think. I'm looking for gloves that are affordable, durable, and comfortable. Actually, I like these beginner boxing gloves, so I'd like to hear what you think about them. I'm excited to get into boxing, but I want to make sure I'm equipped with the right gear. Thank you in advance for any tips or suggestions you can offer!

TBH Gerry, I thought he would be able to outbox BB, just if he could take the shots or not. Come on well Yarde and he looked in great physical shape. Some good men in that division though
The good news BB is touchable cause Yarde had him rocking, just couldn’t get enough on him sadly at the moment
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2620
yes he was ahead on 2 judges cards he has improved so much and shocked everyone it was just a brilliant match
I cant wait till Feb 11 when talented lightning fast Adam Azim fights again a World Champion in the making

|

In reply to Post #2619
It was a great performance by Yarde and I gave him the middle rounds, I would say from a score card perspective nothing in it until the stoppage but that BB game. I gave BB the fist two other than that I thought Yarde took the middle ones, plus they score on aggression and BB the aggressor was on the back foot!
Take away BB punch power he is nothing special, so easy to hit. Bivol will box his ears off, I would fancy Callum Smith too
One thing about Yarde he always seems to win the rematch, could be another?
Geat effort from Yarde
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2618
Nah I thought it was stopped at the right time
Yarde put on a good performance but at the end of a day he feel short
Beterbiev won but I wouldn't say his in a different league
|
|
|
|
Is it just me or should the referee have stopped it a little sooner as it looked like Yarde was out of it as he looked over to his corner for guidance?.
Well done Anthony, fought a cracker.

not going to argue with you mate as I find your points just REALLY laughable !!!!!
and this snowflake I will get offended for you society
both said silly things as they got angry Eubank had been trying to wind up Smith for weeks 50% etc BOTH MEN APOLOGISED END OF ****ING STORY

In reply to Post #2597
Cmon mate, it’s nailed on he is
There is always bad mouthing and confrontation in press conferences, part of the parcel. End of the day it’s two people who want to virtually kill each other, how do fights on the street happen, I would like to fight you sir lol
I have seen some horrendous stuff, Chisora used to be a bit naughty, throwing tables and spitting on people for example. Eubank Jnr on the other hand is a complete and utter bell end, brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth and not lived a real life, I find it hard to relate to him and think he is weird. 95% of what comes out of it ain’t even funny though ffs, just stupid blerb that grinds people, does me, I guess about 95% of the population too. The man is a tit and I seriously wonder if the respect is really there and if it is not that is very bad. Lives in a dream world, he ain’t the fighter he believes he is. Two fights now I have seen Roy Jones talking to him, he does not listen or acknowledge him, like he is away with the fairies and he probably is, in his own little dream world thinking he is superior to all other fighters. He has had the opportunities many people cannot come close to either his dad (great fighter), paps corner man, Roy Jones $
I am not saying he cannot fight but he is certainly not at the level that he thinks he is, pound for pound king!

It’s not just about Eubank it’s about the wider picture of his words.

|

I’m no snowflake but picture the scene if there are up and coming boxers that are finding it difficult coming to terms with their very own sexuality and then they listen to that unhelpful 5h1te. Then again can’t be many boxers that have actually engaged their brain sensibly over the years.

I would,nt worry Liams mrs is a tough girl from a tough family. Why did eubank come in with an Lbgt armband on got nothing to do with boxing but they have to ram it down your throat every minute of everyday ! If thats what you like its your business no one elses and not everyone wants to know about it.
Have a listen to what Carl froch had to say about the snowflakes and woke brigade !!!!

Eubank deserves everything he gets,he is an absolute tosser.It was not ok to try and public humiliate Smith about infidelity and it was probably hard for his wife to sit and listen to that too.

Thats why promoters have press conferences to sell tickets. Ali said far worse things in his build up to fights no one slags him off. You would have heard alot worse if you had been ringside from both sets of supoorters from both men and women.

In reply to Post #2586
bottom line Liam exposed him as did his 2 previous encounters with anyone with boxing skills
Agree
I don’t like him because he is full of *****, just cheap and not funny. Take my hat off to him though, he can fight but he can’t box, his defence is awful for starters
And let’s be fair, he has been trying to cherry pick his opponents to get up the ladder, Liam Williams was made for him and he thought Smith had gone, same with calling Kell Brook out the tit, and Conor Ben is as bad, go and get a proper fight, they won’t, but guess what, time is running out

Nothing wrong with asking someone if they are gay i would have used stronger words .Thats why our countries in a mess people scared to say anything .Eubank got beat in that press conference im my eyes .Im good enough to beat smith at 50% total bellend who has come unstuck everytime he faces quality.Roy jones actually had the towel ready to throw in and eubank still says he could have carried on.

In reply to Post #2576
With his comments you can guarantee he will be asking for his rematch
|

Wanted Smith to win but then having seen his pre fight interview where he was going on about the sexuality of Eubank it’s such a shame that they didn’t knock seven bells out of each other and declare a draw.
Can both fcuk themselves for all I care.

its all about selling tickets at the end of the day
but I am sooo glad after all his 50% mouthing off and talking about proper boxers that are simply levels above him he again gets found out in spectacular fashion I love it
Im wondering ? when the excuses about the weight start coming ??

He needs to avoid GGG and should not even speak about him, he could get seriously hurt

Eubank looks like he has been kicked by a mule lol
Great shots by Smith, super patient, waited for the opportunity, timing superb. Class fishing too, straight on him second time, over and out. Eubank was out on his feet the whole time. Laughing at Smith who stepped up in weight, want a rematch, yep at my weight?
Maybe he has had too much KFC

Good undercard tonight with Joe Parker back in the ring
Be good to see Frazer Clarke again
|
|
|
|
Weigh in is up
Smith won the face off for me, Eubank blinked several times, when you look it somebody eyes and tell them how it’s going to roll out they know lol
Both men look in great shape, set up to be a cracker. I hope Smith destroys him, if he gets inside and lands the body shots he wins for me. Needs to be careful on they way in though. Liam Williams was made for Eubank, just walked onto his jab trying to kill him. He needs to avoid this
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2559
GGG Would still school Eubank all day long let's hope the fight can be made but fingers 🤞 Liam Smith can turn back years and win next weekend
Bit of a pattern here with Eubank only wanting to fight boxers who i'd say past there best
|
|
|
|
Oh so Euw**k is now calling out GGG !
thinking as he is over 40 now he has a chance of beating him I hope GGG takes the match and destroys him
|

In reply to Post #2557
Similar to me. Quality boxer and highly experienced, on paper a very dangerous fight for Eubank. A Smith of a couple of years ago would have wiped the floor with him easily for me, let’s hope he still can

Ill be at this one Gerry although i know the smith family they are not what i would call friends rival gym at the time to one i was involved with however am hoping he shuts eubanks gob , As you say his old man was fantastic , eccentric but hard as nails . Jnr has never set the world on fire and i would have loved connor benn to have battered him . Liam smith is nearing the end but i hope he has enough .

Chris Eubank Jr will fight Liam Smith on Saturday 21st January 2023 at Manchester Arena in Manchester.
And I hope that cocky smug s**t house gets beaten
I liked his dad even though he was weird outside the ring
( I drove past him when he was running early morning and shouted out alright nostrils then nearly **** myself when I saw the lights ahead but they stayed green !)
I just cant stand the son I only need 50% childish pathetic ****

In reply to Post #2551
Was a cracking shot that finished him
I like to watch CBS, always gives it his all, proper entertainer, loves a fight. I think he leaves himself open and takes too many shots which when he steps up it will cost him if he does not work on the defence, also, might be just me, thought the pace was a gear or two short, could be wrong?
Up the ladder he goes, great night for the Bournemouth fans

Same as mine. Could be the fight of the year, both unbeaten
Avanesyan gave it a go and landed some good shots, he can hit and Crawford took them before turning on the class, super sharp, super accurate, great boxer, probably the best out there at the moment, different class

QUOTE
Andy Ruiz Jr has noted that Deontay Wilder is looking to bypass a fight with him to face former-champion, Anthony Joshua.
Ruiz, who recently beat Luis Ortiz over twelve, was ordered to face Wilder by the WBC in what would be a final eliminator for a shot at Tyson Fury’s title. Whilst many fans applauded the matchmaking, it seems that Wilder would like to make other plans.
His manager, Shelly Finkel, this week reached out to Eddie Hearn, who represents Anthony Joshua. Finkel said that it was the fight Wilder wanted over the Ruiz bout, and would ‘give anything’ to make it happen.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2534
Dubois can give one but he can’t take one! A better man would have had him out of there in round 2 last night, gone!
I see Wilder is fighting Ruiz, Ruiz needs to be all over him and he has a chance, if he sits back, bomb squad
Be interesting to see who the winner of that will fight, bronze bummer vs. Fury 4

Josh Kelly v Troy Williamson
Well! cant understand Williamson`s tactics ?
he was being completely outboxed and just didnt seem to target the body to try and slow Kelly down at all ? I think Williamson needs a new trainer and corner !!
but Kelly`s footwork was amazing

I watched it mate. Wouldn’t say it was a unanimous decision but he boxed well, very fast hands. I thought he would struggle with a taller man due to his style, I gave Ramirez 5 of the first 6 but after that Bivol came on strong.I thought Ramirez could have done better though, if he had, pretty level fight for me

Echo that, looks like a proper match up, could be a fight of the year contender with a bit of luck. SM better be on top form when they meet, from what I have seen of CS she is superb, like a woman's Floyd Mayweather, looks to have the lot except outright power, should be an absolute cracker

wasn't it an edge of the seat fight though Ruiz has got a great chin and thundering power Ortiz did well to go the 12 rounds after being floored so many times

Andy Ruiz brutal . That weight loss pic you put up Gerry must have been 10 years old. He was ,nt in anywhere near that shape and never will be but that lad can bang.

I hope so mate. Great gloves are off with SM , CS and Johnny Nelson, can’t wait, there’s gonna be a war
Who wants a ****ing fight

I was expecting another KO from Adam Azim and wasn't disappointed either this guy is going places just a shame he is not getting any rounds in
And didnt Natasha do well !
but the rest of the card was a joke hope they can seize that idiots purse ? supposed to have hurt his ankle but never limped once ?
I am setting my alarm fpr a decent match andy ruiz vs luis ortiz

He quit, both of them really, disappointing for the fans
To be fair more like journey men and a few wins for their records, experience virtually zero though ffs
Lady’s night next week will be a cracker, cmon SM that should be an absolute belter of a fight
Ruiz vs Ortiz tonight , around 4am Monday morning, think I will be watching the replay!
|
|
|
|
Apart from the Natasha Jonas fight that was 10/10, that was THE worst card of boxing i have ever watched. Boxxer needs serious work.
A main event that ended in a dive, **** all wrong with his ankle. A British light heavyweight fight that was more like a sparing match and poor Frazer Clarke i think only hit his opponent twice.

Looks in fantastic shape, put some proper effort in there! He will need to be against Ortiz, great boxer the old man
Reckon he would destroy Usyk, be all over him like AJ should have

In reply to Post #2456
I think if they fought again! He might win
I think he is a scared fighter myself and holds back, he needed to get Usyk in the corner, batter him, elbow him, lay on him and just proper ruff him up, and he did not ffs
|
|
|
|
Joshua has a contract with DAZN so is assured of a few fights he cleverly jumped from Sky to DAZN in June with an incredible £100m DAZN deal
but he again got the tactics wrong but did a lot better this time Im not very good at scoring but the only rounds I thought he clearly won was 3 and 9
in the 9th he could of won but the 10th lost it completely
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2453
When you are at that level and with that much wealth I don’t think money really comes into it? it’s the challenge
Your right, he lost to the better man on two occasions but the sad bit, he seemed more bothered about the social media backlash which is pretty ****ing sad that it even comes into it, very sad indeed but that is a sign of the times, the cyber generation

Broke down in the post fight press conference too, would you belive it, a 17 stone man in tears, that’s reality. I condone what he did with the belts, it takes a bigger man to admit he was wrong and he did but I guess that’s emotions, passion and life
Wonder what they said when Ali threw the belt off the bridge, or maybe Joshua was just trying to copy him but couldn’t find a bridge

Boxing will give people more self discipline and respect for others than any sport I can think of. Joshua was down and out, on his arse, doomed for a life of crime, he got hisself out of it, respect the man for that, it’s a pathway for others, same as any sport, a normal kid who has done well for himself, multi millionaire, ideal role model for me, got off his arse and done something with his life!

|
|
|
|
I will say one thing for Joshua, great role model for the kids, mountain of a man, can’t knock him for that
As for Usyk, for a 16 stone man, incredible level of fitness, those last 3 rounds he just upped the game, looked like he could have done 15 at a breeze

yes Joshua again had a corner telling him he was wining every round leading him to think he had won

In reply to Post #2440
Let’s hope Usyk Fury happens, could be a good one that
I’m sure Hearn will sort AJ another easy route to a title fight, that he will loose again. He could fight Wilder, that I would love to see but that will never happen.
After his emotional breakdown, his choice, but as for throwing the belts out of the ring, that is disrespectful to the sport, there are far better fighters than him who have owned them with pride, and rightly so

Eddie must of paid that judge a bit more,Fury would destroy Usyk and AJ.I hope them fights happen just to shut up the idiots
|

To be fair it takes two men to make a fight and Joshua performed a lot better than the first but Usyk is still levels above him. For me like Gerry said it should have been a unanimous decision. I just don’t get some of the scorecards, these are career defining moments that some absolute fool can destroy. They should really interview the judges and ask them to justify their thinking, I wonder if some drop to sleep between rounds, some of the cards are beyond ridiculous and these are from men who no doubt have a passion for the sport ffs

And both of them rocked him. A younger VK would have wiped the floor with him.
There is not a heavyweight out there that wouldn’t want a pop at him, glass jaw, can’t train that
The only thing that has made Joshua great for me is Hearns management and promotion. If he had met Wilder, like he should have done and Fury that would be two more loses on his record early doors
After this the winner should fight Fury and if it does not happen it tells you how corrupt boxing is. He deserves the chance to unify the belts. He will be waiting I’m sure

Joshua has shown he had the confidence and power to close fighters down and finish them.He did it against Klitschko and Whyte,since Ruiz finished him he looks scared of getting caught as he gets rocked quite easily for a big guy

In reply to Post #2417
AJ is not the fighter he was since Ruiz
Has never been that fighter for me
It could turn out to be a cracker. Heavyweight boxing, one punch at any time in the fight can end it. Joshua has the power no doubt, he has to land though. From the first fight, I think we alll know he has to have Usyk out of there in the first half of the fight or he’s fighting on pure luck, the one punch. Usyk, superb boxer, class act with great movement, hand speed and timing. All depends if Joshua can close him down and put him on it, can’t win a fight unless you can land. For me Joshua needs to be on point with the jab, push him into the corners and leather his body hard when he slips him, he has the power
I will go for a USYK knockout / stoppage in 9 or 10. I wouldn’t be surprised if Usyk finishes it earlier as Joshua try’s to close him down and gets battered
|
|
|
|
well my prediction
SOMEONE will get stopped both have the ability to KO just cant see it going the distance looking forward to it good undercard too
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2416
Usyk will finish AJ before the 10th round,AJ is not the fighter he was since Ruiz.He has never been a very good boxer(no defence or movement)Usyk has a great boxing brain and knows he can hurt him.The only chance AJ has got is to catch him early with a big shot,I just think Usyk is too clever though
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2413
Usyk for me Gerry a more technical talented fighter who knows he can hurt joshua. But joshua has the power to spark anyone and it only takes one good punch . If joshua cant bully an opponent he looks lost and runs out of ideas .I will go for usyk on points.

For me Joshua has to do what got him to the top and use his power if he hasn't done that by the 4/5th then it's Usyk's fight then again i know little about boxing.
|
|
|
|
so Cmon who you got ?
personally I think Usvk will go for a Knockout another 30 seconds on the last round of their last fight and he would have done just that
BUT!!! Joshua knows its a fight he has to win and despite what some may think he certainly has the ability to knockout Usvk
for me its definitely a 50/50 match with Joshua`s power and Usvk`s boxing ability
Very good undercard too starts at 18.00 but expect main event ring walk after 22.00

I hope Eubank gets sparked out and his career is put to bed, absolutely no interest whatsoever for me. The blueprint is out there, George Groves absolutely humiliated him with counter punching, Liam Williams was made for Eubank, egressive fighter who will walk onto anybody. As for Benn, I hope he wins. I don’t think either come anywhere near there fathers, great warriors in their day
As said, Eubank is 32, I would love to see him fight GGG
It’s where Benn goes next for me, needs to look for those big fights, I think he is ready for them too, lot of experience now

In reply to Post #2395
This is true. Some truly awful boxing journalists over there. Scott gilfoid being the worst imo. Joe calzaghe was just a slapper who never fought anyone of note lol, Carl froch was gifted his world title, Tyson fury is only successful because he cheats.. think they are just bitter because they just don't have the talent they used to over there. And to be honest it's hardly surprising, an athlete can box and maybe make a few quid, or can play "football" and make millions.

In reply to Post #2394
Yeah i saw that Benn is only 25 i think and eubank 32 ? So benn is hardly cashing out yet , americans dont rate eubank or benn but they never rate british boxers highly.To be honest Benn does,nt need this i would rather him concentrate on the welterweight division but they must think he can beat eubank as he has been treated with kid gloves upto now.
|
|
|

In reply to Post #2392
Do you ever go on boxing news 24 Jeff? There's some guy just written an article on there saying Benn is cashing out on his career with this fight, and that he's being "fed to the wolves" and likening the right to when Kell stepped up against ggg. Those Americans have some right funny ideas about boxing
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2392
It's definitely been on the cards for a long time now, I think it's the right time now. Any earlier and Benn wouldn't have the experience , any later and who knows what eubank would have left in him. If Benn can stop him that's quite a statement

In reply to Post #2391
Thats a good point Ian weight can be a massive issue and can totally change a fighter im 6ft 4 and at 17 1/2 stone could really bang but was much slower than i was at 16 stone but then did,nt hit as hard but was very quick ,Its a fight that everyone has been wanting since they both turned pro and one im really looking forward to. I obviously was nowhere near at the level these 2 are a million miles away in fact but weight is crucial.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2390
Yeah it's going to be a big one just because of the history for sure. Agreed I think Benn has the tools to do the job ,I wonder if the extra weight may slow him down a little? Should be a good one.

In reply to Post #2389
I think benn will be too quick and too powerful for eubank ,but eubank is a strange one to work out , some fights he looks decent others very average infact lazy in parts.I do think its amazing given their fathers history destiny i suppose.

Wilder is coming back against Robert helenius
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2380
Wilder is made for a young Mike Tyson, slips inside and on him, he would have him out of there in two or three. Wilder has one thing, Dynamite in that right hand and that’s it. IF and it’s a big IF, Chisora could slip and get inside like he showed against Pulev he has a chance. Chisora is a million miles off Mike Tyson and I can’t see him having that one good punch in the fight to floor Wilder either, that’s what he needs
Wilder cannot fight off the back foot and has got no stamina to do the rounds at pace, one of the most successful one dimensional boxers I have ever seen, one trick pony but it has worked for him. That’s heavyweight boxing, often comes down to who got the biggest hammer

To be fair it was a very well matched fight. Chisora slipping Pulev in the first half of the fight got the win for me, great body shots from Del throughout though. Pulev, timing poor but saying that Chisora moved well. Fantastic though
Calling out Wilder, no, no, no

I was waiting for someone to get knocked out all the way thru the war IMHO Pulev was warned far too many time and this is your last chances the ref should of took a point

116-112 Chisora, 116-114 Chisora

Looked well off a top level fighter on Saturday for me, saying that I think he was just intent on blowing Hammer out of there quickly

Usyk will beat Joyce around the ring for 12 rounds. Not even close to being a decent fight. Joyce has a bit of power, and a decent chin. He's a fringe contender /European level fighter at best. Way too slow and way too easy to hit to cause any of the top lads any problems

Sounds like Josh Taylor has vacated the WBC belt to stop a mandatory defence so he can have a rematch with Jack Catterall, that has the potential to be a great fight if it happens

Nathan has had to pull out as he’s damaged his shoulder during training. SCFC have been looking after him in the hope he could make the fight but was unfortunately deemed medically unfit.
Hoping obviously that it isn’t serious at all. I’ve wished him all my best and not messaged him thereafter as he’s totally devastated.
Edit - He’s refunded all those (650) followers who had purchased tickets including my own and a few mates of mine who we were going hire a car with.
I’m surprised to get a refund in all honesty considering its a show and a chance that you take. Mind you though probably wouldn’t be the best plan to 9155 off 650 people….

Decent card on saturday from wembley joe joyce headlines, mark chamberlain,jason cunningham
Nathan heaney,etc
|

Do not forget the fight tonight (from 7pm on sport sports main event) between river wilson bent and Tyler Denny for the English middleweight title as it promises to be a belter.
On another note i cant say what but i’m absolutely devastated for a good mate of mine. Will become Known shortly but fair to say i’m well n truly gutted.

I honestly don't think he would,Usyk is too skillful for him and has great movement.As Scozza says AJ has to put it on him and catch him in the early rounds,I just don't see it happening though

In reply to Post #2339
Soooooo many good fights Gerry, I would look at eras
Duran, Leonard, Haggler and Hearns, some belters here
Benn and Eubanks fights
Iron Mike, awesome!
Ali, some absolute classics, brutally long rounds and rope a dope with Foreman, what a fight!
Mayweather masterclass
Packman, what a performer he has been, the Della Hoya beating is a classic for me
Gatti and Ward is a classic
Right back, Lamotto, Robinson and more, all on the tube
Edit - off to watch. Ali and Foreman now

In reply to Post #2343
If AJ is going to win this he has to get Usyk out of there in 5 or 6 for me. Usyk is a completely different boxer to Ruiz so that pokey long jab he used in that rematch win to keep him off will not work in this one, Usyk can box! He has to blow Usyk out of there, put it on him, which could make it an interesting one otherwise he gets his ears boxed off again in the later rounds
If it goes passed 6 i wouldn’t be surprised if Usyk puts his lights out in 8, I remember he rocked him last time and felt he could have finished it and eased off. Could actually turn out to be a cracker for the fans

I dont see AJ winning the rematch,he can't box.He has no movement,no defence and Usyk has too much for him in every department.AJ should use his size and power but let's not forget Usyk was the one that finished the first fight stronger and nearly finished AJ

'Am I saying some fights are fixed? Absolutely. If you ask for too much money, or if you're behaving like a primadonna, they'll have you bumped off. Judges can be indirectly influenced by nice hotel rooms, champagne, women, backhanders and the like. It goes on. However, fighters would do well to remember this: the politics is only an illusion put in place to hold you down. If you keep winning, you can still have your voice. An unbeaten record empowers. If you suspect that arrangements have been made against you, you will simply have to knock the man down before the end of round twelve.'

Pascal beat Browne, how long has he been in the game! Other than that a spent Badu Jack. Not saying he is a bad fighter but at 37 years old, it’s now, great power but easily hittable what I have seen, against somebody like GGG he would be out of there in 5 for me. Bivol, boxes his ears off
But at 37, respect

JOSH TAYLOR WAR OF WORDS REMATCH !!

Looks like Antony Yarde might get a shot with Beterbiev. Can’t say I’d fancy getting in the ring with him much but fair play to Yarde if he takes it. Bivol vs Berterbiev could be an absolute battle.

That could be a decent fight, although GGG has slowed right down in his recent fights. Actually think canelo will stop him and not sure he will carry on if that happens

I see Parker pulled out of the Joyce fight at OVO arena Wembley on 2nd July.
I’ll be there as Nathan will be defending his IBO title though his opponent is not known yet but I’d imagine a step up from his last fight where he visited the canvas in the first. Will put it up soon as I know but whoever it is come on Nathan and above all else pray that all boxers go home safe.

Canelo Alvarez has decided to take the third fight with Gennadiy Golovkin on September 17th
over a second clash with Dmitry Bivol. Canelo says the fight with Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) will be announced in “the coming days.” Canelo will be defending his four super middleweight titles against Golovkin.

Agree
I was interested to see how far JB could go, found his level tonight. Tried to blow Richards away early and it didn’t work, he was gased for me after 7. Good rope work from Richards, should have laid on JB more and took advantage. Good fight though

In reply to Post #2302
Did you watch it Gerry? Good fight. I’m a spider fan and he finished strong but the result was fair. I’d love to see a rematch but I can’t see JB being interested and understandably so. Didn’t see enough from JB to see him troubling Bivol. Both the kids had good strong chins though, nice to see the respect and they will likely cross paths again one day. Both had a bit of class for south of the river, it’s not the rule down there

In reply to Post #2293
Oh I agree he won't fight the same way again and will definitely try to get inside more to throw those shots. I just can't see it happening. Bivol will be expecting a better canelo for sure, and that's why he'll be better himself next time around. It should be an absolute cracker
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2292
I’ve already said why he didn’t thrown the left to the body. Do you think he is going to come out again and fight in exactly the same way! He has to change things. If he can get that left hand working he has a chance. He ain’t going to come out and try to out jab a man with a superior reach. Since he has gone up in weight he has changed his style with the high guard and just try’s to walk people down with power punches. He needs to feint jabs and throw jabs to get inside him to land the power shots. Look at the GGG fights, he fought him on the back for in the first and the front in the second. What your stating is a no brainier, Bivol looked superb and I will repeat, anybody would expect him to win the second on that peformance. I will say this again, it’s all down to Canelo, Bivol will have learned a bit but he ain’t going to change much from the win. Another 12 to go
As for benavidez, good fighter but he has not exactley fought any big names at the moment and he had a spilt decision against the Romanian. Lemieux next, could say benavidez is picking his fights there
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2291
You got the was bit right about kovalev mate. But when canelo fought him he was past his best by quite a way. He won't get near to bivol to launch the body attack. If he wants a proper challenge which makes sense the it has to be benavidez. Nobody else at the weight will really be much of a problem for canelo. But benavidez has been avoided by him for a reason
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2290
He destroyed Kovalev who was a proper pound for pound match for anybody, nuff said. For me though the guys at this weight are shedding to make it, probably hang around a stone or two heavier at their natural weight, Canelo is making it and fighting men much bigger than him, don’t ever say he does not like a challenge lol
Bivol used the jab to perfection, it wasn’t a stiff one from the hip it was just a continuous flicking one to manage the range and get the points win. Great boxing performance
The rematch is a real 50/50 and any betting man would put his money on Bivol based on the last fight, once you have somebody’s number you could probably fight them 10 times and win. The second fight will be all about how Canelo adapts. Full body work out on Bivol and he would be out of there for me. Like I said though, Canelo didn’t want to let the left go, that could be down to Bivol right, hardly thrown but ready to counter. It’s the test of a real champion this, how he comes back, Bivol got the points, not the knockout. I think Canelo was more frustrated than beat up.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2289
You think he will win the rematch? It wasn't even close ? The scorecards were a joke, far too close . I think bivol wins again, and quite comfortably too. Canelo just isn't naturally big enough to deal with the size guys up at lhw. And the talk of going up again to hw is comical. He'd have no chance against the big boys. Not the decent ones anyway. The way he's going up and up in weight I'm surprised he hasn't tested positve for peds again
Just read bivol wants the rematch at super middle, closer to canelos natural weight class ,just to prove he's better
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2288
I think the Bivol rematch will seal his fate as the pound for pound king in that division, for me, he ain’t naturally that big, another tuff and testing fight that
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2287
I mean cherry picked in the way that he saw bivol as the easiest title holder in the lhw division mate. Some of his opponents have been questionable ,certainly cherry picked. Rocky fielding being prime example. Amir khan another. Maybe he got over confident because of the kovalev fight for going up again? Even that fight he could have made a year or 2 earlier rather than waiting until he saw kovalev on the slide .Hell of a fighter don't get me wrong, just seems to me he does avoid a few people. He's got a lot of miles on the clock even though he's only 31, I wonder how long he can keep it up because I can't see him being one to carry on until he starts to slip too far
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2286
Interesting thoughts mate. Cherry picking Bivol? He is a future / now pound for pounder if ever I have seen one, unbeaten and looking for a step up the ladder, hardly cherry picked, I would say peaking at his prime unless you think he took it before he peaked?
One thing I like about Canelo, he openly states he wants to fight the best all the time, Mark of a true fighter for me that
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2285
He was humble in the ring mate yes. But he now reckons he only lost 3 rounds!!!! I'd say that's all he won. He tried to cherry pick another belt and it backfired .
I think he'll deal with charlo fairly comfortably but benavidez won't be a pushover and canelo knows that, that's why he's been avoiding him for the last couple of years
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2284
I think Canelo will blow those two away quite easily, hope they happen!
Bivol got the job done, quick flicking jab to keep him off balance and out of range. Brilliant game plan, boxed him beautifully, dictated the distance and kept that right hand guard glued to his face all night. Brilliant performance.
If there is a rematch it will be interesting. Bivol was asking for the left to the body all night and Canelo hardly threw it, if he had he might have taken a Bivol right
To be fair, I think in Canelos last few fights he has been so confident he just thinks he can walk people down and eventually he will land the killer shot. Not against Bivol on the night. To be fair I expected him to switch it about a bit but he didn’t. Respect though, humble in defeat, best man won on the night is what he said in the ring
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2283
There will be. Canelo thinks he won
Better to rematch and have the excuses ready (too big, stamina etc etc) than face the threats of charlo and benavidez at his own weight class where he would have to admit losing to the better man . Don't get me wrong canelo is a great fighter, but he's been protected over the years and done a hell of a lot of cherry picking
|
|
|
|
Bivol, unanimous decision
Said below it was a dangerous fight for Canelo, Bivol is a solid boxer. Wonder if there will be a rematch?

Tricky one to predict. If I was a betting man my money would be on Canello, for me he either blows him away and shows his class or it goes to the later rounds
Has the potential to be a cracker if Bivol is on the top of his game, and he certainly needs to be!!!

Canello is the best boxer on the planet for me right now. Not seen too much of Bivol but he looks a good solid boxer when I have, I like him. Dangerous fight for me and could be Canellos biggest test to date. Saying that, we’re are talking about a real pound for pound superstar here

Watched the replay, boxed her well in the early rounds, cleanest punches by far, thought she was nearly out of there in the 5th, showed great heart though. Just felt a good uppercut could have been her killer punch on the night with Serrano coming in all the time, think Serrano seemed to tire after the 5th too? Close that but a hell of a fight and the headline at the garden, amazing really
A rematch could be dangerous

That is mental, switches to southpaw against a boxer who can fight in both stances and doesn’t do a thing. I have seen a lot of bad decisions over the years but some are bordering on plain stupidity
I agree. The JC one was horrendous and at the end of his day it’s a loss on his professional record
To be honest, I have gone off Josh Taylor a bit because of this, he got his ears well and truly boxed off, bet to the punch and for a world champ was pretty clueless, one dimensional. Can’t say it’s his fault at all but when you are beat you know you are beat, even “the decision really surprised me” would have been a bit more respectful
Canelo vs. Bivol soon, can’t see that going to the score cards, should be a cracker, his hardest fight to date for me, I like Bivol, great solid boxer but he has to be punch perfect to stand a chance here for me

Different level to the rest following the Wilder fights for me, tonight he showed it. Fantastic boxer who now has good power too
The sad thing for me if that’s him done it shows how political and corrupt boxing is because he should have had the chance to unify those belts several times
No detriment to Whyte either, solid British heavyweight who is still competitive with what’s around for me, tough man

Your paying for a British super fight. Not looked at the undercard until now:
Ekow Essuman vs Darren Tetley
Tommy Fury vs Daniel Bocianski (light-heavyweight)
Isaac Lowe vs Nick Ball (Featherweight)
David Adeleye vs Chris Healey (Heavyweight)
Kurt Walker vs Stefan Nicolae (Super-Featherweight)
Karol Itauma vs Michal Ciach (Light-Heavyweight)
Royston Barney-Smith vs Constantin Radoi (Super-Featherweight)
One thing for sure, Whyte will give it his all, tuff man who can take some punishment, coming in heavy too.
It will go to a stoppage this one, Whyte has to get inside or it’s curtains in 5 for me, only chance he has. I expect a boxing display from Fury, has him on the jab, toys and outclasses him before he finishes him
Heavyweight boxing though, anything could happen, two 18 stone fighting men
|
|
|

I wonder if you intelligent boxing brains could tell me if you think the Fury vs Whyte card is worth paying to watch? Excluding Fury vs Whyte, the card looks totally diabolical and im kinda loathe to pay £25 for one fight.
Any of you long time, knowledgable fight fans have thoughts?

Fury vs. Whyte, final press conference is up. After all the trash talking quite a bit of respect which is nice to see, even though they will get in the ring and try and kill each other

Indeed, too square on as should have moved to the his left more.
Should have used that straight right more often too.
No excuses he says, just didn’t keep his concentration when he got tagged.

In reply to Post #2236
He came into that fight with a decent record 28 wins only 2 losses i think , benn has got some power still a bit wild but he is looking good to me .
As for Nathan heaney , he did well after that knockdown he stood too square on when coming in and ramirez was looking for that one punch all the time .all the same he is winning and will learn from it.I thought it was a Good performance against a tricky opponent .listened to his interview after the fight today and yeah he is a likeable bloke .

Good result for your pal, you must be well please

The way I saw it was that Nathan started brightly and was hurting his opponent with those body shots so much to the extent that he spat out his dummy to get a breather. I felt this annoyed Nathan so much that he didn’t gather his concentration quickly enough and got tagged. Felt that Nathan was off balance and it was this more than the power in the shot that put him on the canvas.
I couldn’t scream any louder from the back of the arena ‘though I was close enough’ to make my voice heard so quickly went down to the front to offer my support. Kept shouting to keep your distance and discipline Nathan, in and out and not stand in front of him. After round 7 I felt Nathan was in front and needed to keep to what he was doing and the victory would be his. Shouted in round 8 that you’re boxing well Nathan and to keep the discipline and that it would be yours as the fitness he has is amazing and is deserving of good things that may come his way.
All in all I thought he kept his concentration well and didn’t get embroiled in a scrap after he had visited the canvas as that would have being both the easiest but wrong thing to do.
Got a fantastic coach in Steve Woodvine who Nathan adores and thinks so highly of him.
Thankfully all boxers went home safe and sound and I’m so proud of Nathan. I even got asked during my non stop support if I was his dad as I was shouting every second.
Well done Nathan and onto the next chapter in your career.
All the best mate you deserve nothing but good things from the sport.
|
|
|
|
Well, bit inconclusive that performance from Benn, the other lad wasn’t at the races.
He needs to be careful if he starts calling big names out for me. Brona would be a good shout for me. He needs to up his game and the quality of the opponent he is fighting now too for me

In reply to Post #2233
Sorry mate but only just seen your post.
On next on BT Sports as he’s on the card of Jason Cunningham.
Just hope Nathan can claim another victory and continue to progress.
Above all else hope all boxers go home safe and that there’s no trouble from those following him as it’s been pretty rowdy already with a fight going on outside the ring but not from his followers thankfully.
Just hope the night passes too with no trouble.
Come on Nathan - pleeeeeeease.
Edit - Strangely enough Serge Ambomo was on the card earlier and ended with a draw.
Nathan like when he fought Ambomo has got to stay switched on against his opponent Ramiirez.

Well if you have Olympic gold medals and loads of world titles you got to be able to box and much as I rate Marshal she would need to really hurt her early to get the stoppage or I fear she will get out boxed but really looking forward to it
also I would not dismiss an upset with Dillian Whyte a man thats got nothing to lose in the match of his life

In reply to Post #2221
Agree
Shields is a superb boxer, one of the best woman I have seen, got the lot except power for me, not convinced on that. SM better get that jab on point and the timing spot on because that’s the only thing that is going to get her through this for me, keeping Shields on the end of it and landing the big shots is the key, otherwise Shields wins for me, she has fantastic movement and a great skills set
|
|

In reply to Post #2221
True,just from what I have seen of Shields imo there is no power compared to Marshall

In reply to Post #2220
I would,nt be so sure about that , marshall is,nt a great boxer she is very open shields is so far ahead in boxing skill , you dont get 2 olympic gold medals 12 world titles and go through an amateur career with only one loss by being easy to tag.Believe me she has power .Marshall can bang but she also gets hit very easily, it will be a good fight one im really looking forward to.

Remember that too and never even looked an hard hit either.
Looks like it’ll be a similar fight to when Nathan fought Serge Ambomo where Serge doesn’t really do much as goes looking for that one hit wonder.
Stay patient, work behind those jabs, body shots, get those fast hands going and don’t get tagged.

Just a smokescreen mate. If it was me I would have honestly placed all of those belts on the shoulder of my opponent because it is not morally right to accept them because it’s those youngsters who may just think ‘why the fcuk should I bother’ and that in itself is tragically sad.
That is what it is going to take and I’d imagine it’d feel a whole lot better than what any world title could ever bring.

Great night of boxing totally ruined by the last fight , seen some thefts in the ring in my time and nothing ever changes but that was terrible. I thought josh won 3 maybe 4 of the rounds which could of been even but he was always behind and he was knocked down and a point deducted there was no way he could have drawn never mind win. Total travesty and everyone in the crowd knew it , we left wondering what the hell had just happened !Another sad night for british boxing , disgraceful actually.

Well done Paddy Power
Those judges should never be allowed to score a fight again, just an unbelievable decision that. Josh Taylor got his head well and truly boxed off, the world could see that and he knows it, shocking decision. Like mentioned, it really does question the foundations and credibility of the sport, what a ****ing joke that was 
|
|
|
|
Paddy Power have announced that they're refunding bets on Jack Catterall to win and have described the split decision for Josh Taylor as an "absolute robbery". McDonnel seemed biased towards Taylor IMO

I honestly haven’t a clue but what has the ref done?.

In reply to Post #2190
first thing he said after the fight he was not going to fight at that weight again
I dont know if anything can be done about it but the Ref shocked me he must be on a back hander ?
|
|
|
|
|
Taylor will go up in weight,I think he struggles to make weight now.He looked drained and was not in that fight at all,I feel for Catterall,he did everything right and won that easily
|
|
|
|
Outboxed, outclassed and now masquerading as a world champion. I’d have much preferred to have handed all of those belts to my opponent upon hearing that result and until someone actually does that then nothing will ever change.
It’s absolutely sickening.
|
|
|
|
I'm disgusted. IN ALL MY LIFE i have NEVER seen a bigger robbery. WHAT THE **** IS THE POINT OF WATCHING BOXING ANYMORE
Edit: Jack Catterall has literally had his life ruined, the poor guy has given up his whole life for that one fight, and 3 corrupt judges, getting back handers ruin his life. I genuinely feel sickened and cant see how i can continue with boxing.

What a performance that from JC and credit to Jamie Moor, did a job on JT
I struggle to give Taylor 3 rounds in that, outboxed from the off
Taylor wanting to fight in the inside and couldn’t get in for the jab and just got tied up when he did
Edit - what an absolute load of ****ing bollox 
That has got to be one of the worst decisions ever

Oleksandr Usyk has returned back to his home country of Ukraine the moment he heard of Russia's potential invasion. He could have stayed in the UK and been comfortable spending the millions that he earned winning the heavyweight crown from Anthony Joshua - What a hero. Stay safe champ
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2178
I’ve never thought much to Joshua either. There was plenty people suggesting that he’d be too big for Usyk but my thoughts were that he’ll be too quick for Joshua, could stay out if his way and frustrate him.
I just can’t take to Fury and if they do meet then I wouldn’t be disappointed if Usyk wins it, in fact I’d love for him to beat Fury, but I just dont see it.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2176
Joshua ain’t the fighter people think he is. The size of him he could have just layed it on Usyk and smashed him out of there in 6, as usual, scared fighter, can’t take a punch, lacks wold class skills and scared of committing. In the rematch he will try and have him out of there in 6, no other options, if he has not he’s ****ed
Fury just needs to train right and be properly focused. Again, no messing about, get Whyte out in the early rounds and I think he will unless he wants some sparring practice lol, that could be dangerous. Unification fight this year please. A British fighter that unifies the heavyweight belts is the dream
|
|
|
|
Im probably going against the grain here
but betting the Fury vs Whyte Potentially could possibly be Furys hardest fight and he could even lose !
|
|

In reply to Post #2175
Does indeed have very good movement. Don’t get me wrong I’d be rooting for Usyk and I’d be delighted if he pulls it off as I really like the guy.

As much as I rate Usyk and predicted he’d be a world champion I just see Fury toying with him and taking him out whenever he pretty much chooses.

He took some proper hard shots straight on the button and was rocked several times. His timing was exceptionally poor. Brook was superb, timed him beautifully and landed the power shots, think he took Khans jab away, scared of throwing it for me because of the counter
Here’s a fight, why don’t Eubank jnr and young Benn get it on, getting pathetic these two for me, both want to fight Brook, yeah, so they can get a big name on the CV if they are lucky when the man is clearly past his prime.
Eubank is just a complete tit, just seems completely oblivious to the **** that comes out of his mouth
Benn needs to fight some class opponents and prove himself now
Josh Kelly next week, could be a decent fight that but I expect him to come through it.
Crawford and Spence has to happen
The winner faces Josh Kelly would be the dream

In reply to Post #2164
In his head he probably thought he was in the best shape but you get found out if you are not ,
The ref was right to stop that fight he was taking far too many heavy shots and credit to him he stayed on his feet.
Don,t like khan never have since the day he came into golden gloves boxing gym in liverpool to spar with some young lads , no respect and hurt one lad badly. His reg plate is good though AK 47
He walked past us after the fight he was badly marked up .The great thing about last night was natasha destroying her oppponent and the doorman from blackpool enjoying a good wage fighting an olympian
Roll on next week Josh taylor in glasgow.
|
|
|
|

I watched the fight and it looked a poor judgement from the referee to stop it. I’ve not read any complaints about the stoppage so I guess it must have being the correct call. Any replays didn’t really give any clues either, not from what I’ve seen.

|
|
|
|
Nice to see the respect at the end between the two, and respect to Khan for his honest words
On another note, Eubank jnr, what a complete and utter ****, want to fight Brook, I’m not Khan, I wanted to fight GGG, ****ing tool, an embarrassment to the sport

Round 6 Amir Khan

Has the potential to be a cracking fight, both well passed their best though which is a real shame.
Massive Brook fan myself over the years and I hope he knocks Khan spark out
Khan has the speed, which is nothing without timing and Brook has the power. For some strange reason I think Khan may have a chance, especially if Brook goes rushing in. Needs to box him
Cmon Kell Brook, looked in great shape at the weigh in
Totally agree Gerry, Khan dodged Brook all his career. That fight could have been made many times

Could be a tricky fight, Williams is an aggressive fight who will walk people down, not ideal, counterpunching is the way to defeat Eubank, just like the George Groves masterclass, blueprints out there

Well 1st time I have ever voted for sports personality
from my Landline
I just dialled 09015228202 that cost me 15p but I voted for Tyson Fury
I would love it if some of you would do this too ?

Well the Parker fight is on the tube, just watched it. One word, frustrating!
I just can’t help but think Parker works at two gears lower than he could ffs. Great hand speed and decent movement, Chisora was made for the left uppercut and he hardly threw it. Just thought he could have had him out of there is 6 if he had put it on him.
Chisora, respect, what a warrior, I would take a jab to land two body shots like he did in the first half of the fight, he was gassed by 7 though
Parker, ffs, same when I watched him against Whyte, thought he could have won that easily, great combinations then backs off. Would,like to see him fight Whyte again, bet he fancies a crack at Usyk

You'd hope so Gerry but I bet he doesn't. He's still competitive enough and isn't just getting blown away so I'm guessing he will fight on for a couple of fights yet
|

|

I has hoped Derek would have retired after his last fight with Parker but he has had another big pay day and a brutal war but surely its now time to call it a day ?

In reply to Post #2104
Least they got the score cards right for that one
Flat on his feet Broner, looks the part but without work rate and devastating power you expect from the style. Maidana, street brawler, deffo want him on your side, some solid punches landed, loved the right hand to the body in the 8th before he dropped him with the left. After the holding on and the head butt fiasco, could have had Broner out of there for me. Good fight though, mans game

In reply to Post #2098
always loved watching Marcos Maidana the slugger ! loved his match with that diss respectful Adrien Broner so glad he beat him
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2097
Great fighter Maidana. Similar to Manny Pac, he was going to to do this and that and the little fella boxed Broners ears off
Respect to young Benn though, he hasn’t done the Eubank jnr. thing and just seems to have learned his craft over a period of time. If Broner is next, onwards and upward after that. Will he be world champ at 147, I hope so but their is some serious, serious talent around here!
Crawford vs. Spence has got to happen soon
|
|
|

In reply to Post #2096
It will be I just can't stand that Broner.I remember when he left the ring in tears after the Maidana fight and would not accept he lost.

Yes definitely that one fight ending punch at his disposal. Can't criticise his power at all. But the track record you speak of is a rather padded one !!
|

|
|
In reply to Post #2080
I agree, probably done now?
One punch to end a fight and he was a master with a track record
|
|

In reply to Post #2079
Wilder is done Chris. Mark my words he won't be the same again if he continues to fight at all. Usyk beats him too. Way too smart for windmill. He's got power and heart. And absolutely nothing else.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2077
I will maintain what I have said before. Fury is number 1 and Wilder is number 2 and below this there is quite a gap
I wish it would happen, my money would be on Wilder putting Whyte out in 2 and that's if he staggered through the first! slow hand speed, **** all movement and so easy to hit, target practice

In reply to Post #2076
What about the 2 years before Whyte lost to povetkin in which time he was still number one contender? The 2 years he basically fought bums plus Ortiz? He was swerving ,100%
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2075
I dont think Wilder was worried by Whyte,especially after watching Povetkin knock Whyte out.Whyte is a tough fighter and anything can happen in heavyweight boxing,I just think Fury will make him look silly.If Wilder can't KO Fury I can't see how Whyte can,it is going have to be the punch of his life.He definitely deserves his chance though
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2074
How much do you honestly think he made from fighting brezeale for instance? Less than he'd have got for Whyte, the number one contender at the time when you factor in the ppv I'm sure. He didn't want it ,it's plain to see
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2073
I’m guessing Wilder gets a far bigger audience and payout by fighting another American, or Ortiz who massively outboxed him before the bomb landed, and not an English journey man (no disrespect but I hope you can see: my point)?
As for the heavyweight division, all I want to see is a British fighter, Fury, unify the belts, **** the yanks!
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2072
Who knows? But he clearly did. 3 years as number one contender, could have given one trick wilder a far bigger payday than the vast majority of the fights he took during that time, constantly being called out but making excuses not to right. My best guess is he knows he struggles against men who come at him rather than sit back to try and counter. Whyte deserved his shot then ,and thankfully he gets it now. Not that I think he wins , but he deserves to try. Fwiw I honestly think he'd beat wilder if he started fast enough to catch wilder before getting tagged himself, which isn't out of the question given the fury fights. He really isnt very good on the back foot at all
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2068
I don't care what you say but wilder avoided him
Why would Wilder avoid Whyte, probably one of the current heavyweights who people can land a glove on!
Fury has bet him once, what is the point?
And BTW, I like Whyte

dont matter the outcome the man deserves it more than most and anything could happen in heavyweight boxing glad he is going to have a decent payday
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2067
Whyte has been waiting for over 3 years for his title shot. I don't care what you say but wilder avoided him. It's the right fight, anything other than that of the unification would make a mockery of the rankings
|
|
|
|
See they have told Fury he has to defend his belt against Whyte
What a shower of ****. That bum Joshua should have been called out numerous times ffs
Two fights for Fury for me, Usyk to unify the belts, Joshua and out, that’s it. It’s a shame they are not so consistent with other title holders ffs
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #2064
Could be an old school tactic that, put your head onto a fist before the hand is fully clenched, breaks the hand
Watch Eubank, used to take a lot to the forehead, no drama or real damage
|
|
|
|
Looking like Nathan will be fighting at the bet365 stadium sometime next year as that’s the plan after meeting with Frank Warren earlier.
Hopefully it could well be for the British title.

Skeete should have played more on that and I wouldn’t have blamed him for doing so either.

In reply to Post #2037
Massive Canelo fan myself but Terrance Crawford has got to be up there as a pound for pound king, looked absolutely superb, great movement and super sharp, can’t see anybody beating him for quite a while
Good effort though from Shawn Porter
|
|
|
|
|
There is a show on boxing tv on Facebook now for those that may be interested in watching.
|

Outcome was how i expected crawford just does,nt get hurt.

I can’t see that interview with porter so don’t know what’s gone on there.
Sorry mate as it’s almost too late now to put it on.

Same here, can’t see Porter giving him too much trouble. Wonder how long the Spence fight will take to happen!
Canelo vs. Benavidez is the one everybody seems to be talking about. Let’s face it with the cruiser weight talk, he beat Kovalev who could beat most cruisers and that’s some benchmark for me!
Probably seen it and thought, I could take that

Benavidez won, future star that lad for me
Rosado lost a UD, though that might have been a bit closer if I’m honest. Munguia Unbeaten now in 37, is he really that good
Few pounds either way, we could have a great Mexican showdown with Canelo

No doubt about it that cut was caused by a fantastic punch from Denny which in my opinion after sliding down Denny’s shoulder open it up even further.
The way Denny celebrated he full well knew that was a punch which ended it.
Absolutely devastated is Denny and rightly so. Stepped up a level and Bent was found wanting.
|
|

Disappointing end to bent denny fight , but denny won it for me , bad bad cut .Bunce has got the most irritating voice .

Nathan being putting in the hard graft ‘as per usual’ and sparring with the best that Britain has to offer including those above his weight.
Not looking forward to it ‘never do, bag of nerves’ but hope that he gets a victory along with an impressive performance against a good lad in Janjanin as that would help set him up nicely in his quest of pushing on further in his career.
Good luck Nathan and above all else hope all stay safe and go home safely.
Edit - No doubt about it the lad Janjanin can bang in which Nathan will have to be switched on. All being well Nathan will use those great jabs and body shots of his and set up the finish.
Good luck to all and stay safe.

Nathan is indeed set to face Janinjn for the IBO Intercontinental middleweight title on 6th November. Unless of course the lad pulls out of the fight as this happened when he was due to fight River Wilson Bent a few weeks ago.
Step up in class and no doubt going to be a tough fight but one in which Nathan will hopefully come out on top.
Above all else on the night and every night of boxing that all come home safely.
Edit - Looking forward also in watching Lennox Clarke.....

19 stone of quality
Quality
Love those short upper cuts inside
|
|
|

its funny
I was thinking way back when Fury first hit the limelight and I thought wow this guy has a natural boxing brain and talent
but because he was trying to do what Cassius Clay did when he wanted to be famous and being gobby sooo many people were slagging him off then
well have they got egg on their faces now or what !!

In reply to Post #1947
Smith is a quality operator and an highly experienced fighter, outclassed Fowler who is not the boxer he though he was going to be, Fitzgerald saw to that. Fowlers style reminds me a bit of Josh Kellys with the low hands, another future superstar or so he thought. Two cracking knockdowns from Smith though

In reply to Post #1947
yes great nights boxing I Liked
Ted Cheeseman vs. Troy Williamson, for Cheeseman’s British junior middleweight title that was a corker !!!!
Shannon Courtenay vs. Jamie Mitchell, WBA World bantamweight title match Mitchell took it
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoyed the Smith vs Fowler fight too,I thought Fowler would just keep him on the end of that jab.
|
|
|
|
What a great fight edge of the seat stuff 5 knockdowns !!
Fury got off to a slow start while Wilder attacked the body trying to force Fury back but it was short lived and after the firsts 2 or 3 rounds he seemed like he had forgotten the body and was just looking for a KO as he hardly threw any body shots the rest of the fight ??
I was impressed with Wilders courage that would have bought him new fans had he not screwed it all up with his pathetic unsportsmanlike actions at the end of the fight what a tosser ?
but it was a great night of boxing and the right man won

Wilder would destroy AJ,he's done for me.AJ has lost something since the first Ruiz fight,he looks scared and got no heart and is afraid to let his hands go as he is too worried about getting hit.Fury has proven time and time again muscle and physic do not win fights,I hope he goes and gets all the belts now

In reply to Post #1942
Well said Braders, Wilder is a disgrace, out of order that, know when you are beat, acknowledge the better man and eat humble pie, respect, Wilder has none, disillusioned
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1941
Credit to Wilder, takes two men to make a fight, he was burnt out and battered again though. Not shaking hands or acknowledging the better man at the end is a major no for me though, the respect
Looking at Fury, as you say, two full on right hands in one round, and that’s with Wilders extra weight. Wilder did well to slip and block Fury’s right until it was curtains in the 11th though. Wilder cannot fight at pace, Fury proved that in the second fight, ain’t got the stamina.
First fight, Fury fought him on the back foot and won
Second fight Fury fought him on the front foot
Third fight, combination of both, what a performance against one of the biggest bangers of all time
Fights on, AJ vs. Wilder, my money is on Wilder to win in two
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1941
Fury is the best heavyweight in the world easily,Wilder proved what he is about at the end refusing to shake hands.He should take the loss like a man and show some respect,I just hope that's the Fury vs Wilder situation done.
|
|
|
|
That was arguably the best heavyweight fight I have ever seen, truly spectacular. Credit to wilder for showing enormous courage and heart, even though I don't like the man and his unsportsmanlike attitude at the end.
If that mug AJ has any sense he'll continue to avoid Fury like the plague. Fury took 2 of Wilders best right hands, IN ONE ROUND, and still got up to stop him. AJ has nothing to concern Fury.

This is too close to call,I really want Fury to do it again.I just think Wilder might catch him this time and spark him out,I so hope my feeling is wrong.

In reply to Post #1926
Just watched the weigh in
Wilder up in weight. More power and strength = less stamina and he had **** all before!
If it’s similar to then first fight, Fury wins in 4 rounds for me. More defensive, Fury wins in 8
Massive fight for both me, Fury has everything, Wilder has one punch. Heavyweight boxing, anything can happen
Prediction, Wilder try’s to jab more (cannot move for 12 rounds) and line Fury up for the big one. Fury works him over with his own jab, Wilder goes back to type, Fury overpowers him and puts him out

In reply to Post #1931
Have to agree about his weight he has,nt got a knockout punch so he will have to get up close and stifle wilder bully him so he cant land a bomb , 19 stone pushing on you drains you. I like fury he is very very talented but a heavyweight that can bang i wouldn't like to bet against.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1926
I would usually say Fury on points or late stoppage, as before. However i have to admit to finding his weight weird. He says weight doesn't matter, but i cant see him being light on his toes weighing 19st.
Coming in with the idea to bang with Wilder could be a colossal mistake. Hard to call for me now, seeing Fury's weight.

Can’t say who the next opponent is other than he’s being mentioned on here before.
He’ll be fighting for the IBO Intercontinental middleweight title at the Utilita arena Birmingham on November 6th live on BT sports and in which represents a step up in class.
Living the dream. All the best and above all else stay safe.

In reply to Post #1926
Depends which frame of mind Fury brings to the ring. He’s going have to be on it because I sense Wilder is right up for it. Having said that, can’t call it.
|
|
|
|
well the one we have all been waiting for Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder III is not long now
So any betting folk on here having a flutter ?
we all know the fact Wilder has the power to cause an upset but Fury has the boxing brain and ability to give him a boxing lesson provided he can avoid the big bomb
its a make or break fight for Wilder either way he gets a massive payday if he does manage to knock out fury its the only possible way he could win IMO he gets a career otherwise think he has had it
the boxer that saddens me is Andy Ruiz if only he would train properly with the right trainer he could really go places but reading up on him apparently he has never really taken training seriously yet he is a talented boxer tough as nails

In reply to Post #1914
Finally got round to watching it last night. Buzzed in the third round big time. Brilliant performance by Usyk, boxed his ears off, movement was superb as was his game plan, electric in the 11th and 12th. Interesting listening to the post match commentary, he didn’t go for the knockout and followed his trainers advice, if he had stepped it up more in the 11rh he would have got it. 12th round, Joshua gone. Joshua, one trick pony who was out of his depth and exposed once again
Canelo vs. Plant could be interesting, Plant is a classy boxer, still expect Canelo to walk through him, anybody see the face off, Canelo pushed him, Plant came back, tried to jab him, Canelo slips it and hits him with a quick one two, only one way this is going lol
Fury, very dangerous fight, very dangerous, we know he can do it, I expect him to
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1913
Well Usyk used his skills and got in the zones to throw his shots and rarely looked troubled.He rocked Joshua a few times,the rematch will only go the same way.Im looking forward to the Canelo fight and the Fury 3rd and hopefully final fight against Wilder
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1909
Joshua is / was never the boxer Hearn hyped him up to be, too many flaws in his game, big powerful lad who can bang, rocked far too many times, I could see the defeats coming a mile off for me, , you have got it or you have not, don't get me wrong he is at world level but he is never the superstar Hearn or his fans wanted him to be, that's a fact.
That's why it's called boxing and not banging, skills game

In reply to Post #1907
yep good shout
I reckon that loss to Ruiz has affected him he is gun shy scared to let his hands go and his corner were a joke shouting cobblers to him he will lose the rematch unless he changes his trainer
changing the subject I HOPE there isnt a rematch clause for wilder
and the Fury Wilder 3 is the final between them 2

Nathan next out on 6th November which will be for a major title with one of the main governing bodies and no doubt a step up in class to which Nathan alludes to. Cracking card down for the show.

USYK is a fantastic boxes, Joshua is not. I expect a bit of a bore as Joshua trys to keep him on the jab all night

Holyfield does not need a big pay check. He is however a man with a passion for boxing and that has lead to the sad demise of a once truly great fighter, should never, ever, have been allowed to happen

In reply to Post #1878
But he will put him in with decent opposition. The overall aim is for Nathan to get to challenge for the British title. I’ve heard it before that Nathan is 32 and needs to be in these fights and I was previously of the same thought but then when looking at it he isn’t a war damaged 32 and has always ‘literally always’ looked after himself and body and who is finally now growing into that body thus giving extra power into those shots.
You stated previously that Warren had being informed as to how Bent was looking in training ‘which I called out as absolute 30110CK5’ and that it’d be a risk for Nathan to take him on at this stage of his career. Did you not realise that your choice word of ‘apparently’ did you no favours as that choice of word offered no substance?.
The first hand information I have as to what actually happened in sparring when they sparred is a trillion miles away from associating that with what Frank was apparently told regards Bent in training, and for a journey man to take him the distance really doesn’t imply credence to what you had ‘apparently’ heard and then wrote. In addition please spare me your telling me as in post 1847 of yours that I’ve got it totally wrong. Oh, and as for the record too there has being no argument with Warren either. It really does makes one wonder which angle some mags come from at times.
Same as I’ve said before I’m not so loyal to him as to think he’s invincible and if he turns out to fall short then so be it but it won’t be through a lack of trying and those supporting him are giving him an opportunity to become the best he can and to live the dream.
As for the record though I believe Nathan takes Bent out in 8 that is if River Wilson can take those body shots.

In reply to Post #1877
Not at all , it was a half decent fight although he won every round first time river aint knocked his opponent out for a while, not knocking Nathan at all just warren .will never know how good nathan is if warren wont put him in with decent opposition .I would have rather seen Nathan challenge for the title to be honest as at 32 he needs to be in these fights.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1847
I note that River Wilson got a points win over the journey man Gabor Gorbics and not Jajjanjn who took world class Martin Murray eight rounds on a bumper bill ‘the same bill Heaney pulled out of.
Can’t think why you’re not shouting from the rooftops over this one as you can’t wait to take great delight in knocking Nathan at any opportunity.
Tyler Denny v River Wilson be a good un though for the English title.

I know myself that he’ll try scrape every penny from him that he can. I also know tonight’s fight is a backward step for Nathan. As for River Wilson Bent at this moment in time he needs Nathan more.
Nothing to do with loyalty to my mate and yet now you’re saying facts as stated.
Absolute fantasy land where someone APPARENTLY told Warren how good Bent was in training. He’s sparred with River Wilson but I’ll just leave it there as to how that went. All I’ll say is that what you say as apparently ‘apparently- what on earth does that even mean?’ being relayed back to Frank is absolute 30110k5.
As for loyalty towards Nathan I’ve said previously if he turns out not to be good enough then it won’t be through a lack of trying and he’d have lived the dream. Anyone would think my loyalty makes him out to be this or that.
Edit - Notice that you say Warren pulled Nathan out and yet previously you said Nathan and Warren pulled out. Why you made Nathan out to be running scared I don’t know.

I understand your loyalty to your mate but the facts as stated in boxing news mag and various other sources are that frank warren cancelled the fight and that heaney had a massive row with him over it as its a fight he wanted ! As i said previously warren will get every penny out of him before throwing him on the scrap heap , the choice of opponent tonight is a step backward in his career not forward as is the case with river wilson bent whom if he wins though im not convinced he will will then be on the world stage.
Nathan is a talented lad but does now need to step up as you say he was fighting much better opponents in his first few fights.
The fight did,nt happen because warren would,nt sign the contract .

Your choice of word that APPARANTLY Warren was told Bent was far superior fighter for Heaney is duly noted.
You couldn’t be more further from the truth if you tried. As for watching Bent in training and how superior he is couldn’t be more further from the truth as to what I actually know.
Edit - I’m fully aware that Warren is handpicking Nathan’s opponents,’every promoter going would also take advantage of this and Warren is no different’. However this shouldn’t ever be perceived as Nathan not being above this kind of level.
Edit - Having read your post again you say that you told me that fight wouldn’t happen.....Why, was it going to happen then and Nathan pulled out?.
Think you could do with a new supplier of information.

You have got that totally wrong it was nathan and frank warren that pulled out of the fight with river wilson bent , after watching bent in training apparently warren was told bent was a far to superior fighter for heaney to take on as a loss at his age would end his career. Warren hand picked this opponent who has 48 losses and 2 draws out of 60 bouts ! to earn a few quid before that happens .If you look at my post 1825 (aug 6) i told you he would,nt take that fight
Bent is now fighting the bosnian janjanjn 37 pro fights (29 wins) who took world class martin murray eight rounds on a bumper bill on sept 10th the same bill heaney pulled out of (sam eggington bill )

Konstantin Alexandrov Nathan be fighting tomorrow night.
Whilst one can’t exactly be enthralled with his opponent I’m aware of what the direction he’s going to go in which in turn will return a good ranking due to him going to be stepping up the class thereafter in which the aim is to go for the English title. I suppose it’s Frank being Frank setting up so called easier opponents to keep the followers following but surely I’d hope this is the last before seeing an upgrade in quality. Nathan was due to fight ‘name escapes me from when he told me’ who is 10 unbeaten since turning pro so that would have being a decent enough test but sadly the lad had pulled out.
1600 be cheering Nathan on tomorrow and I hope he does it. Above all else I hope all boxers return home safely.
Good luck all.

Whilst one can’t exactly be enthralled with his opponent I’m aware of what the direction he’s going to go in which in turn will return a good ranking due to him going to be stepping up the class thereafter in which the aim is to go for the English title. I suppose it’s Frank being Frank setting up so called easier opponents to keep the followers following but surely I’d hope this is the last before seeing an upgrade in quality. Nathan was due to fight ‘name escapes me from when he told me’ who is 10 unbeaten since turning pro so that would have being a decent enough test but sadly the lad had pulled out.
1600 be cheering Nathan on tomorrow and I hope he does it. Above all else I hope all boxers return home safely.
Good luck all.

In reply to Post #1825
He is indeed decent. Nathan has fought tougher opponents prior to being signed up by Frank Warren and thankfully came through them. Hopefully he’ll keep up that record should he face River Wilson which I’m expecting it to go ahead.
Edit - Do believe it’d be for the English title.
Would be a cracker.

BBBC have ordered that Nathan v River Wilson Bent are to face each other. Hopefully the promoters will get it on as it’ll be an absolute cracker. Regardless of what River Wilson has said Nathan isn’t running scared at all.

Cheers mate.....If one comes off what they’re hoping to do a deal with then it’ll be an absolute cracker against a lad whose up and coming in the ranks.
2000 requests for tickets for his next fight and if the one comes off as mentioned above then I dare say it’ll be 3,4 or even 5000 following him.
Good luck Nathan.....following the dream, whatever.
Edit - Whatever happens in his career I’ll always be there until he decides enough is enough.

A mate of mine who works the doors after repeatedly asking an England supporter to keep it down against arch rivals Scotland eventually got kicked out. He returned some 20 minutes later to give my mate a slapping but little did he realise that he’s as strong as an ox and a professional cage fighter. The bad news is that the lad lost his teeth but the good news is that he got them back after handing them back to him having being embedded in his knee. Poor lad mustn’t have being thinking straight.

Barrios had a massive reach advantage so it was always going to be an awkward fight for me.
Taylor vs. Prograis was a great fight and both are top quality fighters. Without a doubt though, Davis has dynamite in that left hand and he is a great counter puncher. Sad as it is I think he beats the fore mentioned but I would love to see Taylor smash him for the UK

I see Brian London passed away few days ago RIP to be honest I wasnt a fan especially after that fiasco match with muhammad Ali

Spoke with Nathan and he’s pleased that all 3 of his opponents whilst on BT sports have being knocked down and as alluded to in his interview he’s now got to step up the quality of opposition. Hoping to be out next in September or October....All the best Nathan....

Took some punishment there CA. You could really hear Ruiz’s punches landing heavily, proper thuds!
I bet he would like a shot at Joshua again. Got caught a few times though. One thing for sure, he is a dangerous fight for anybody
I think if he had the footwork, movement and slips like Tyson he would be devastating!

Yes indeed got to step up the quality from now on. Even the previous that he’s fought before signing with Frank Warren are stronger than his last two fights. Not surprised to see the body shot ending it as that amongst a decent jab his is strength. Never got to see him afterwards but no doubt catch up with him soon and get his thoughts.

Frank warren is well known as a promotor who exploits his fighters as they all do unfortunately . Why do you think terry marsh shot him ! As i have said before and this is no disrespect to Nathan heaney as everyone that steps into the ring takes their life into their hands , he is a decent level fighter but is not going to set the world on fire , frank warren knows that so will get every penny out of him he can .But Nathan will know this he has been around the fight game all his life, At his age it will pass him by very quickly so hopefully he will get the win and carry on his dream.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1770
Nathan would take a fight no matter who it is....He so does want to progress further but I guess Frank is picking the so called easier targets in order to bring in revenue and for that Nathan shouldn’t be thought of as a sign of him not wanting to progress.
|
|
|
|
Well aware that Nathan was signed up because he sells tickets therefore bringing in revenue. He’s got an opportunity to live the dream and if that dream falls short then so be it but for now we’re enjoying the journey. Certainly trains hard and if that alone isn’t enough then at least he got an opportunity to do what he thoroughly enjoys.....
Making a day of it in Telford then onto the boxing.....Good luck Nathan and hopefully he’ll put on a boxing performance which he does have in his locker....Either way just hope all boxers stay safe and return home healthy.....

YES 50 fights never been stopped I thought he was going to lose his record and be stopped was shocked he got up he was wobbled but what a typical Mexican !!
I did think at one stage maybe Molina would come on strong in the last couple of rounds if Egerton tired and draw him into a slugfest Molina did catch him with a big right in the final round but Egerton took it and kept away
good match I enjoyed it

In reply to Post #1753
Fury has a following due to his gypsy roots but more notably due to his "celebrity "status . I have a relationship with liverpool, manchester , northern gyms etc and if a fighter from the gym was on a bill for a start all the lads in the gym would want tickets then obviously the fighters family and mates would want them, in the case of ricky hatton he would of sold out any arena but if there were only 1000 tickets then he obviously would only get a small percentage so it does,nt really matter how much a following they have . The only thing i can say is that no other fighter on this card must want tickets which i find strange.
I do know Nathan heaney has a large following as stoke is not that far away from the clubs i know and i still have lots of contacts in the clubs who keep me updated .

|

In reply to Post #1752
I knew that you weren’t having a go and never crossed my mind...
Definitely have being sold and could have sold them 3-4 times over....
Never really knew joe that well but Nathan speaks highly of him and on the odd occasion when I did too then I could see why. Tragic what happened to him and just before his son had fought Tom Stokes for the midlands title too. Nathan is a great down to earth humble lad and follows Stoke City which has no doubt helped swell his supporters. Hardcore supporters I’d say there are around 100 ‘could possibly be more’ and touch wood we never get to find out.
Out of interest and I genuinely don’t know but how many supporters does Dubois and Fury have?. I wouldn’t say a great deal considering Nathan’s allocation was over 50%....Probably wrong, as I often am...
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1751
Im not having a go at you , I just find it hard to believe the allocation of tickets , if he says he sold that amount of tickets then he sold them , as i have said before i crossed paths with his dad joe many times when i boxed as an amateur and he was a decent bloke, i have no doubt his son is the same.
|
|
|

In reply to Post #1750
May well be that he isn’t good enough to which I’ve never claimed he is. Thought I’d post on here about him as he’s a mate of mine and if he isn’t good enough then so be it, not the end of the world but the following he has is helping him live the dream.
As for not believing he was allocated what he has ‘never mind sold them all which will be noticeable on tv’ I find that even more surprising.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1749
I cant believe that with a crowd of only 1000 he would be allocated that amount when dubois is the headline bout followed by tommy fury ? I have been in and around the game long enough to know he is,nt good enough to test eubank jr and at his age he wont improve much but i wish him well
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1748
What’s the issue regards selling tickets?. I only know what Nathan sold which was all of what he was allocated. Regards Eubank it may or may not be beyond him but we’ll see.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1747
So dubois sold none ? Im not surprised he sold that amount at the kings hall its his local, Fury has a big following that i know of ? Wow you are being extremely ambitious saying bring on eubank jr ! I think you are getting a bit too carried away regarding that one.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1746
Got a large following. He sold 800 out of a 1000 at the kings hall.
Sold 530 tickets and hundreds were asking to go on a list in case he was given anymore.
Tommy Fury got an higher profile but never going sell as many as Nathan so I’d fail to see the logic in giving that amount to Tommy.
Edit - He’s on Facebook under Nathan Hitman Heaney....All there how many sold and how many asked to go on any list. There’s more on the list for tickets than Tommy was given.
I guess if you’re a ticket seller you’ll be given them providing of course the main attractions have had what they feel they could sell.
Ps....If available would have sold 2000. Bring on Eubank Jr at the bet365 stadium....
On the night........DO NOT ADJUST YOUR TV SET.......as it’s gonna be loud n off the scale.....Delilah.
Hope that he comes out on top obviously, but as always above all else hope all boxers remain safe and healthy.

How did he get 530 tickets if only 1000 capacity ? Tommy fury fighting on that card he much higher profile and he only got 75 tickets.

Nathan’s allocation of 530 tickets sold within an hour ‘edit - sorry meant day’. Few hundred more requesting tickets in which Nathan hoping he’ll be given to sell them too.
Going to be a mental evening providing Covid doesn’t shut stuff down again.

In reply to Post #1734
The only way I can describe him mate is cheap
BJS bet him and he is obviously bitter which is a real shame because one thing about boxing or any type of fighting for me, you always shake hands after, respect the opponent and the better man
Eubank Jr. is not the fighter HE thinks he is
Read back in this thread, I knew Groves would beat him hands down, he is a boxer, Eubank is a punch bag king, they don’t hit back. They can put him with Roy Jones or whoever, he is not world class, simple. All he is doing now is looking round for a quick and easy world title shot
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1725
I certainly see where he is coming from along with all others before him when coming to sounding out a big pay day. To do what he has done shows a total disregard for a fellow human being and above all else the profession. The way BJS gave Dubois grief after he quit in a similar way ‘eye damage’ then I’ve no sympathy for him but obviously want to see him making a full recovery with no lasting eye sight issues.
Edit - If you believe that laughing and posting a video on social media about someone getting what he did without so much of a thought as to how their immediate health is is an attempt at promoting a big pay day them I’m pleased I ain’t seeing the woods for the trees.

That should be fun
Saw a super middleweight special chaired by Johnny Nelson a while ago, think it was Jones, Calzaghe, Eubank, Collins and possibly Benn around the table, some talent there!
Been watching the highlights a few times. The power of the shots are unreal, energy conservation for me and ripping powerful shots. Never seen him throw the uppercut so much either, would love a chat with him, I would put money on that was the shot he had trained for the southpaw style!
Brutal

You are not seeing the wood for the trees , its publicity a massive hype of interest to promote a huge payday for the two of them,.saunders can never fight for a world title again with that injury but i bet he gets a fight against eubank !!!! Hearn lost another bank roll !!

Had it not been for that terrible, terrible injury I don’t believe he’d have quit....
How disgusting is it of Eubank to take the piss on social media without so much of a thought as to why he actually did.....
|

|

In reply to Post #1721
Had to be something serious, I wouldn't expect a quit, especially a gypsy
It was coming though...
A slip and a hell of a punch, all the weight behind that upper cut
Mans game

Sustained a quadripod fracture of the eye socket and underwent surgery earlier.....
All the best and hopefully the operation has gone well.
Heaven knows what agony he must have been in.
|
|
|
|

Well it was,nt fight of the year but solid performance from canello, saunders just could,nt hurt him and dropped his hands too much , canello just a superior boxer , broken eye socket that bloody hurts .That got my treble up , kt,parker,canello.

He was out the next round and he knew it Gerry. Had enough for me
See what the medical experts have to say

Maybe the eye is badly damaged ? I am surprised he quit
|
|
|

World level boxing. ****ing quit ffs
Fight panned out as I expected it, Canelo loading the big shots and BJS trying to be slick and quick. Tell you what happened there, he felt the power, knew he was out and thought, **** that

In reply to Post #1713
Similar to me. His career best was against Lemuix for me, great performance that
He is a typical gypsy, he has the lip and a cocky persona, so I take it with a pinch of salt
Said it below. BJS has the style to make this an awkward fight for Canelo and string it out a bit, I expect him to look good over the first 3 or 4 maybe 5 rounds! The question is, can he dance for the whole 12 lol
Ultimately Canelo is a different class and tonight it’s him and Saunders in the ring and this will shine through. Canelo cuts the ring off with body shots and takes him out in the late rounds for me. I believe he also has the skills and punching power to just walk him straight down and take him out for me if he wants to
Either way it has the potential to be a great fight for the fans
Up at 3.30, load the car up, watch the fight and then fishing for me

In reply to Post #1712
Should be a good un hopefully canello will show his class , dont, like saunders ,however the bloke can box and has never been beat eubank jr should have pushed him more than he did in the first half of their fight.Having never been beaten must give you great belief and he certainly believes he can do it.

Just watched that Eubank bum. God knows how much they are paying RJJ ffs, didn’t listen to him, away with the fairy’s, I hope and pray he gets GGG like he is calling out
Parker disappointed me if I’m honest against Whyte, thought he could have upped the game and bet him. Respect to Chisora, the man loves a fight
|

In reply to Post #1706
Am hoping parker wins , chisora has had some beatings and am hoping this is his last fight.parker never sets the ring on fire but he is a talented fighter, but its heavyweights one punch ends it,looking forward to taylor fight as i know a few lads from liverpool who have had massive amounts of money on jonas to cause an upset.

Trying to find a live stream, said t would be on DAZN, champions league at the minute. Was going to subscribe and then I thought, na
Edit. Found it
Just watched the end and of Bivel and Richards. Sounds like Bivel won the earlier rounds. Great effort from Richards
I thought Bivel was a bit of a superstar in the making, not on that performance, doesn’t like the body shots either!
The plus side, Eubank Jnr. next, I’m hoping and praying he gets sparked out

To be fair I am a massive Canelo fan, completely different level
I like BJS though and it would be nice for a Brit to beat him, needs the performance of his life and some. Got the pay day he was looking for and out I guess
One thing for sure, should be a decent fight and he will be up for it, and give it his all
|
|
|

In reply to Post #1698
I think it will be quite competitive for the first half of the right, but can see canelo catching bjs at some point In the second half of the fight for the stoppage. Hope I'm wrong though.

In reply to Post #1697
and the one I want to see CANELO vs SAUNDERS on MAY 8TH
Same here, could be an interesting one that, great boxer BJS when he is on form and I expect a decent match up there. Think Canelo is a different class myself and has the ability to just close him down overpower him though
If BJS is to stand a chance he has to be quick on the feet, lighting jab have exceptional movement throughout the fight, like the Lemieux, fight plus 5! lol

Well Williams loses the earlier rounds and Andrade gets the decision, and the beating of his life. He was exhausted and beaten up. Williams was relentless, proper tuff man

I thought Warrington retired him myself, wasn’t in the same league fitness wise and had been going downhill prior to this fight as I saw him. Saying that, Santa Cruz is a hell of a fighter! so the competition was there!

Split decision maybe, but the scorecard giving it to quigg was a joke. He won maybe 3 or 4 rounds that night. Admittedly quigg didn't really show up and if he had been on form then I believe the outcome would have been different , but I guess we'll never know

Two weight world champion who,s had some hard fights, very experienced, was definately interested but at the weight knew from round one that he was going to be up against it , just too small against a fighter with a great jab.He gave it a go to become a three weight world champion.Total respect from me hope he has a happy retirement.

Watched Lennox Clarke at the Birmingham arena when on the same card as Nathan when losing on points to Lerone Richards. However last evening took the British and commonwealth super middleweight titles with a stoppage. Strangely enough I got talking to a lad ‘remained friends since’ whose mates with Lennox and so pleased to see his mate win. What a tough, tough lad Lennox is. Well done, chuffed for the lad.
|
|

I know Povetkin is knocking on a touch but didn’t he have covid in January as that could explain ‘other than age’ a lacklustre performance. Still, no doubt a nice payday.

young hatton wont be climbing too far up the ladder

Quite emotional for his dad though I guess, wish him all the best and hope he does not get hurt
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1674
Poor from povetkin , he looked wrong from the moment he entered the ring , like he,d been out all night , strange, was hoping shea s lad would win, that was probably his last fight, young hatton wont be climbing too far up the ladder , and as for that other heavyweight farce the least said the better.
|
|
|
|
Well, Whyte got the win. When he started throwing those big overhand looping rights it thought, oh no, bit reckless that. Corner put him straight and the punch that did the damage was a short straight right! Proves he has the power. Think he will have learned a lot from that myself?
As for his next opponent, Calling Wilder out
That is an extremely dangerous fight for me. Can’t see him getting much from that if it happens other than KOd and a decent payout $
Better off looking for an easy fight and then hope that he gets a crack at the winner of Tyson vs. Joshua. I would like to see him fight Joshua again, rocked him last time and gave him a lot of trouble
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1672
Agree there mate. Wardley, not convinced at all. Those low hands and aggressive style are not a good sign for me. Easy to hit. I like his shape but he has to get a stone off if he is serious and I question how he would fit in against a true heavyweight who can box
Cheeseman is a great watch, athlete who wears his heart on his sleeve, up for a war every time I have seen him. Warrior
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1671
Agreed. Cheeseman vs Metcalf was 10/10 and I can't see Whyte vs Povetkin being better than that.
The less said about Wardley vs Molina the better.

Cheeseman vs. Metcalf next fight fans, could be fight of the night. Cheeseman will give it his all
Edit - What a fight! don’t get much better than that, war, Cheeseman

Watched a program on Sky about him the other day, got some good boxers behind him there with his Dad and uncle Mathew. Massive ask of him though to be as good as his dad though. Can see a Tszyu revisited on the horizon pending weights
Let’s hope we have another British world champion in the making
Think I’m going to watch the DW fight tonight. Two careers on the line here for me.Somebody is going to get KOd, let’s hope nobody gets seriously hurt
Big UFC fight tonight too, both men can strike

Ricky hattons son makes his debut on sat night .

Dillian Whyte for me, CANNOT lose this one otherwise it could be career over
Very dangerous fight, no lapses this time, has to take Povetkin out, rocked him a few times in their previous fight, has to be all over him when he hurts him again and make it count, get it wrong and he will be KOd again, no doubt
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1666
Hope you ok Gerry.
Povetkin does him again for me.For whyte to win he needs to get on him from the bell and hurt him .In the back of his mind whyte knows this bloke can take him out and i think he will again.

There’s around a hardcore 100 fans that would follow Nathan all over but how many would lose the attraction should he lose his unbeaten record probably doesn’t bare thinking about.
I don’t think the fan base will drop mate, the opposite, people follow them beciase they like what they are about. The Hattons for example always used to bring a good following and it always ended in a riot
He is fighting for your town so he represents your area, puts you on the map
|
|
|
|
Just spoke to my other mate Dan Hewitt who owns boxing tv and is great mate of Nathan too. Says it’s something he’ll be talking to Nathan about regards dropping his hands as it’s something that he never did even in his amateur days. Just don’t understand it myself as he’s much much better working behind that great jab of his. Dan also says it seems that he just isn’t finding away off finishing off his opponents and when I asked if he’s concerned that he may get tagged his response was ‘it’s not that but seems wary not to want to tire himself out’. Hopefully a few harsh words from a great mate could be a wake up call he needs to stick to his strengths.
Never enjoy watching Nathan as he’s such a great mate and makes me ill just watching.
|
|
|
|
|
Hes a decent boxer , he has a lot of faults and at his age he aint gonna get alot better but good luck to him, when you look at just the british boxers at his weight he will struggle .
|
|
|
|
|
Still think his defence needs work he could of very easily been knocked out the way he kept dropping his hands but its a win
|
|
|
|
I guess another thing that brings added pressure is that I’d assume Frank Warren signed Nathan up on the strength of a thousand or so tickets that he can sell at £50 a pop cheapest and to not now have fans allowed into venues then it’s an extra pressure to remain unbeaten ready for when they can return.
There’s around a hardcore 100 fans that would follow Nathan all over but how many would lose the attraction should he lose his unbeaten record probably doesn’t bare thinking about.
Anyway - Thankfully all as of yet go home safe and sound.

In reply to Post #1644
As below post suggests I agree. As for punch power he never really got to throw the right ‘I do agree however that it’s got to be more powerful and needs to plant his feet more’. Thought that the bell saved Oliver after going down from that left to which he felt.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1645
Totally agree about fans , The atmosphere a crowd gives is something you cant explain unless you have been in that enviroment , be it any sport, even if they are not your fans.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1644
Agree
Styles make fights, tall with a great reach for the weight, that’s his strength, drops his hands too much and will get punished for it when he steps up in class, not his weight either, lacks the power
Looks in great shape though but I think he was tiring to the end after a few flurry’s and he was buzzed in the 7th
Got the win though
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1643
Nathan won’t need me to tell him ‘but I will’ that he’s got to do better. Keep that right hand up as it leaves him open to the left hook.
He can take a good workout from that whilst maintaining his unbeaten record in these unprecedented times where no fans allowed.
Must have being so so different with no fans there but hopefully at the next bout fans will be allowed in as that is a massive plus for him.
Knowing his trainer he’ll be getting a bit of a talking to and quite right too.
|
|
|
|

Im afraid he will have to be much better than that performance , looks physically strong but absolutely no power in those punches , oliver needs to learn to move his head.

Against Stokes he became embroiled in a battle which was brought on by him wanting to put a show on due to the amount of tickets that he had sold. He was surprised that I enjoyed the Ambomo performance much better because of what was at stake ‘learnt beforehand that providing he came through that then he would be on the undercard at the Birmingham Arena and to which he got tv exposure’ as that to me showed how disciplined he can and had to be. His words afterwards to me were ‘you weren’t bored then’ to which I replied there’s even more skill in trying not to get hit and it’s the best I’ve seen you box.

In reply to Post #1635
Agree that he should win comfortably and hopefully he will and then continue to move onwards and upwards. As usual he’s certainly being putting in the graft and being sparring with the top British lads.

|
|
|
In reply to Post #1632
He’s got to work behind that fantastic jab of his. His defensive skills are very very good when required as can be seen to good effect - and it had to be when defeating the big hitting Serge Ambomo.
Edit - Also he can fight but his attributes are a fantastic jab and excellent punches to the body. Against Serge Ambomo he was so disciplined that night and that to me was his best performance of his career thus far.
Got into a brawl with Tom Stokes for the midlands title until his trainer told him that he needs to work behind that jab, and indeed he did as he needed to take those last 3 or 4 rounds to which he did with good defensive skills.

Nathan says that the star attraction has had to pull out due to a positive Covid test but BT sports are still going ahead with the show.
When googling Carl Frampton it says that he asked for more time to get over a hand injury which sounds bizarre this late in the day.
Edit . Went drop off some good luck cards ‘He’s ambassador for our local youth club for adults with learning disabilities’ and says ‘he hopes he lets no one down, but I’m ready’.
Put in all the hard hours and hopefully he will do the business.
Good luck Nathan.

I agree, I bet out of the two though Poirier looks like his face has been run over by a bus tomorrow
I can remember when Bisping beat Henderson, somehow lol !
I agree about the wide stance, the man has some serious power in that LH and he was not landing those devastating punches, did in the first, a nice elbow or two as well.
Gonna have to watch the second Diaz fight, think it was CM who did a leg job on him, can’t remember?
I would have thought they would all want Kalib N back in the octagon to give him a fist lesson lol

In reply to Post #1603
Think the kicks to the leading leg could have troubled him
it was the reason he lost the fight IMHO his leg was dead
I see now he has said exactly that my leg was dead
if you notice he always throws his normally super accurate punches from that wide stance but he lost that wide stance by the 2nd round and his mobility and his punches were then missing the target
its certainly buggered up his career I would have though
so maybe the next big match would be Poirier v Diaz ????

In reply to Post #1601
Watched the fight. CM ahead for me until he got caught. Respect though, both guys excellent strikers, caught CM and finished him. Opposite to the first fight!
Think the kicks to the leading leg could have troubled him, didn’t think he was focused for me CM, did not look as sharp, the leg kicks could have held his attacks back? To be fair though, I don’t think they were overly powerful and not enough to do damage, saying that, I don’t feel them lol
I think he thought he could walk it and paid the price. Also the time out won’t help
3rd time, could go either way, both can finish, I would put my money on CM

In reply to Post #1592
Yeah, the division is stacked, just hope boxing politics dont stop them geting in with each other!
Unfortunately i cant see the Spence Crawford fight being made unless one moves promotional outfit, would be very interesting tho. I lean towards Crawford, but only because of the car crash and the fact that Danny Garcia just didnt pose enough of a threat to show Spence isnt carrying any damage, but is a proper 50/50!
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1591
Very similar thoughts to me mate on all counts
If Davis and Lopez meet it should be very interesting. Lopez has the reach and I thought he was amazing against Loma, timed him perfectly. Davis can land and when he does, Santa Cruz
Saying that, so can Lopez
Probably the most competitive weight at the moment followed by Crawford and Spence etc
All got to add up to some great fight nights though for the fans
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1590
Fair play to Garcia, was a good win and sickening shot to end it, but unless his defence improves, Tank and Lopez will walk through him and Loma will box his ears off. I think he stops Haney though.
I cant see Tank beating Lopez, he has good power but is a small Lightweight, I see Lopez doing the same as he done with Loma to Davis.
Very exciting division tho!
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1589
Nice one
Interesting fight, brilliant shot by Campbell in the 3rd was it, could have ended embarrassing that
Looks good Garcia. Not sure about the planted feet, looking to land the powerful shots, and he got hit a lot for me. Needs to up his game, there is some proper talent in that division
For me Davis tops the lot but it’s VERY close, some good fights on there way though

Exactly that Gerry, he quit. Turn your back in a fight and it’s over. I thought Pulev was close to getting it stopped in the Joshua fight, he turned his back and walked away in one of the rounds!

In reply to Post #1579
I thought he turned his back on him when he realised his best just wasnt knocking him down and he wasnt going to win and he was blowing and out of steam and getting beaten up

Seen that fight Jeff where he turns his back on him. You can’t help think his mental scars held him back and messed him up, sad really

Met him a couple of times , a bloody lunatic , much better fighter out of the ring than in. That was world in action programme i think , Still holds the record of fighting for a title after only 8 pro fights, turned his back in that against john l gardner.True hard man who feared no one, his son is a lifer infact both his sons i think.There is a film being made about him due for release next year.

Brave performance from smith but not in the same league im afraid.No one is.

In reply to Post #1571
Said he would lose. Canelo is the best boxer on the planet for me, he is immense
Made me laugh when some of the pundits were saying he can’t take the power or handle the reach of Smith. He bet Kovalev who was an absolute monster and has been in with GGG twice!
Credit to Smith he stayed in their and took the punishment, JG was going to pull him out after the 9th!
This game is about levels and he was a couple below.
Be interesting to see what happens next

Worth a listen to an interview that Trish Morrison had with Dennis Taylor from ringside boxing show. Certainly not her or experts understanding that he died from aids and explains what actually killed him.
Édit - Is there only aids that can cause multi organ failure then?.
Certainly an interesting story of how a 12ft piece of gauze was left insideTommy’s chest and is this what is claimed took Tommy’s life. Might find it was this the primary cause of multi organ failure.

He also bought a cave to live in as he thought the world was coming to an end some years before his death ! he was still shagging his first wife up until he could no longer walk !

He had been in and out of prison for assault, drunk driving etc

Tommy Morrison.
My great friend Dan Hewitt who owns boxing tv received a telephone call from his widow Tommy Trish Morrison in which she tells the story of his life and the untold truth regarding the real reason behind his death.
Anyone know much about Tommy’s reported passing?.
Edit - shameless plug but for those interested in a great show with interviews of those up and coming boxers, title holders and the greats of yesteryear then it’d be great if you could give it a watch and maybe even a like and a share or two.

Agree, GGG admitted he was not the same level as real world class opponents. Knocked the ring rust off though. I will be very interested to see what happens next.
BJS might start waving his hands in the air again?
Andrade has to fit in somewhere he has been banging the drum for a while.
I would like to see the above two fight it out
GGG says he will fight anybody, I don’t doubt that, at 38 I firmly believe a Canelo rematch next year is the real goal for mr G

Watched the fight, not sure about the change in style though, threw the jab very well but the timing was out at times, landed some brilliant upper cuts. Maybe he has reinvented himself for Canelo 3?

Great fighter though

Well, I will give credit to Joshua, good performance
Disappointed with Pulev, was hoping he was going to be all over Joshua, when he did get inside, Joshua tied him up well. Brave man though, took some proper shots
Verdict. Joshua did not have his chin tested, can’t train that. Better performance but he is a few levels below Fury in the boxing department and that jab will be no good, he will be on the end of one
The good news is, it sounds like the Fury fight is on

In reply to Post #1516
Joshua by knockout .
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1516
I’m paying for it
If I’m honest Gerry, I’m confused looking in. Joshua seems overly confident. I think once he cops for a good one he will go back to type. Can’t see him reinventing himself since the Ruiz fight
As I see the fight panning out. Pulev knows what he has to do to win. I have been watching his workouts, lot of bobbing and slipping, he is going to try and get on the inside and let him have it for me and that’s how you beat Joshua. Poor defence, fights in straight lines with fast combinations
Joshua has to get the jab going and get him on the end of it, It’s that simple, if Pulev puts himself in range on the end of it and can’t deal with the jab then he loses, he eats the combinations
I will ask anybody a question though, what did they think to the second fight with Ruiz, I thought Joshua was awful myself but he managed to get the job done.
It’s heavyweight boxing so don't blink you could miss it
It’s one man or the other. I will go for Pulev within 8, that’s based on, he has him out of there in 4 or 5, or it drags on a bit. Over that I would expect Joshua

He’s a tough lad that Hall and a good learning exercise for McKenna. Connections wouldn’t have expected anything less than what he got. Seen Hall at the kings hall a couple of times and he’ll not go short of work for the likes of Stevie who see it as gaining good experience. Got to work a jab a lot more and can’t just try to finish the job early. His brother Aaron does indeed look really classy.

Pulev looks in great shape and is very confident, to be fair I can understand why
Needs to get inside like Ruiz and make it happen, if he sits outside on the end of Joshua’s jab and range he loses for me, otherwise he wins unless he walks onto one

Saw pulev win the super heavyweight at the euro championships in liverpool in 2008 ,He looked very capable but that was 12 years ago , he is now 39 i think ! Most fights on pay per view are £19.99 yet this one is £24.99 !!!! Again trying to hype joshua making him into something he aint as we always do in this country.

In reply to Post #1502
I’m tempted to pay for it now ffs
Complete rip off no doubt but I’m looking forward to it. No pressure on Pulev whatsoever. Joshua has got to win or this is another major blip on his record. Very dangerous fight for him. Pulev is the mandatory, should have happened in 2017 but he managed to duck and dive that one. Had to laugh at one of Hearns comments, subconsciously admitted they had cherry picked all his previous fights. No way out now. The real tests are coming!
Either way this result could set up some good fights for next year fight fans

I thought Yarde was a mile behind myself. Arthur was superb with the jab all night. I gave Yarde about 4 rounds and they were VERY close. Couldn’t break Arthur down. When he did land they were glancing blows until the 12 round slug fest. Great performance from Arthur for me and a deserved win
Anybody watch Errol the boring truth Spence? Garcia was slow to the punch, had to close him down and put it on him like Porter did for me. Credit to Spence though, they always say if you do the basics very well you will go far, he is very good. His left hand has got to be one of the best in the business, his timing is superb
Got to be Crawford vs. Spence next, that should be a cracker

Saunders is a classy boxer when he is on his game
Agree with that, similar to Fury, seems to lack motivation at times for me. must be a traveller thing lol, both great boxers though who have had blips in their careers, mental!
Had a look at McGrail, good interview, hope he does well, on seconds out, good channel that
|
|

In reply to Post #1488
Saunders is a classy boxer when he is on his game. If his style floats your boat, search out footage of Peter McGrail, a local amateur due to turn pro after the Olympics (if it ever happens !!) Known as the Scouse Lomachenko
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1487
I think outright punching power could be said about both of them?
I think Saunders is more of a natural middleweight myself. Plus his style is not exactly landing the bombs. Sure they take their toll though!
I think that is Murray done too, stepping into a ring with GGG and having that on the record is impressive in itself for me. Can’t say I have seen that many of his fights. Respect though, was on the end of it and took it on the chin last night

In reply to Post #1483
Martin is a legend around these parts, and having more than a passing interest in Boxing I have watched a lot of his fights. Very technically gifted boxer with a great heart, but its clear to see that he doesn't have the power to take out opponents at world level.
Last nights tactics were typical of the way he approached most of his fights. Cool and measured, tight defence and then crank up the pressure in the second half of the fight, regularly dropping lesser opposition with his body shots.
Unfortunately age is against him days and he didn't have what was required against a class opponent last night. I expect him to retire now.
Highlight of his career for me was taking the Martinez fight in his back yard and narrowly missing out on points.

Heroic performance by Murray, totally outboxed by Saunders. Didn't quite get the tactics, high guard, block the shots and counter? or it was just economical for him, who knows?
Great performance by BJS, great movement and hand speed with an array of shots. Possibly the complete or finished article now?
I see he wants Canelo now and not GGG. To be fair, he deserves a shot for me
I think once Callum Smith has had his right rib cage smashed to bits BJS could be his next opponent

Its an interesting one of, what happens next?
Joshua and Pulev soon, see what happens there?
I would like to see Joyce vs. Usyk. Both will be different fighters now, Joyce jab has improved and his guard is by his chin, not near his elbow like their first fight lol. Usyk, great boxer, great movement and sharp, you have to fancy him i suppose, still, it will be the full 12 rounds not an Olympic 5 round punch fest
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1469
I can’t see him stepping in the ring either with Wilder especially if he’s ever in line for a shot at AJ. If not then I guess he’s got to go up against Wilder to enhance any further prospects.
I believe Usyk beats Joyce.
Obviously not had the amount of fights as opposed to those who are supposedly thought of as better.
Time will tell.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1468
I can’t see Usyk wanting to step in the ring with Wilder
If that happens I would be extremely surprised
I don’t think anybody who is up there would want Wilder if the truth be know, extremely dangerous fight for anybody, even Fury!
I think Joyce is Joyce, you see what you get now, a rematch with Usyk will be very interesting, I hope it happens, Joyce seems to want it?
Regarding Usyk, great boxer no doubt but a test for any boxer is a lot of fights against quality opponents with different styles. He will never be that man for me, he is 33, unless he is doing 3 fights a year up to 40 loI, agree though, has a chance of a title, time will tell how he progresses
Lets not forget Lomachenko another one of the purists and pundits favourite, struggled against Salido at the end of his career and got a proper boxing lesson the last time out against Lopez, wonder what the purists think of him now, Lopez was superb!
Simply has not had all the fights like the real top guys for me
How can you claim to be the man when you are say15 and 0 when there are men out there who have done 30, 40, 50 and 60 plus professional fights with minimum loses or draws, completely different level and should not be discussed in the same breath for me, respect to them
In this era he has a chance to shine. Time will tell if he goes down as one of the greats. Me personally, I don’t think he will, if I’m wrong I will have enjoyed the show
|

In reply to Post #1467
Agree regards Fury.
Regards Wilder a punchers chance ‘mind you though so have most if they connect properly’. However in my mind Usyk picks off Wilder as Wilder doesn’t have that movement etc in his armoury.
As for Joyce that whilst he did a number on Dubois - Dubois showed very little/no defensive skills I wouldn’t exactly say he was great. I learned more about Dubois than Joyce. He did a number on him, fair do’s and you can’t ask for anything more from him in terms of doing his job.
All I see is an heavyweight division where Fury if given the chance would clean up all of the titles, but because of how it is then Usyk entitles merit in believing he can become a champion and I believe he will.
Regards your last sentence that whilst he’s 33 and his strength is his fitness he doesn’t need to be a 40 plus fight real hall of famer - just a champion by taking one of those belts that are available, but should he go on to be undisputed champion then all the better for him.
|

|
|
In reply to Post #1466
The fights will get harder. For me
Fury, no chance, jab job and powered out
Wilder, no chance, gets sparked, bomb!
Joshua, possibly, very dangerous fight for him
Whyte, possibly, very dangerous fight for him
Joyce, same as, he will be extremely confident going forward of doing a jab job on him now
Your right though, he has fought at heavy and took a few off DC. Time will tell if he is the real deal
To be fair though, I can see why he fancy’s it, the pathway is there to be a heavyweight world champion, Joshua. Now he has been exposed I don’t think any decent heavyweight would fear him
I will go back to what I said before, who is the biggest name on his record to date, Bellew who took the vacant belt, fought Flores and a WELL over the hill David Haye twice, a well passed his best DC trying to slug him out of there?
When he is the man he will get the respect he deserves for me
He has to get there first, and then hold onto it, then we will know if he is the real deal that everybody is buffing him up to be.
18 fights and zero losses, against who, Bellew and DC at the end of their careers so far...
He is also 33 years old and his strength is his fitness, is he really going to be a 40 plus fight real hall of famer, I don’t think so
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1465
No disagreement there and agree that DC is well past his best. However, if anything Usyk came out of that fight knowing he stood up to some punches and whilst you don’t want to get hit for me he overcame them and it’ll give him confidence to go forward in this division.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1464
I think if we put the cards on the table DC is well passed his best. Respect to him, great entertainer and fighter in his time
When somebody puts the pressure on Usyk and starts to land regular then we will see how really good he is
Looking at Styles, I fancy him against Joshua but if Joshua keeps the discipline he could easily spark Usyk for me. You can have all the skill and movement in world but you have to get into the positions to land punches to win fights, to do that you have to put yourself in the zone and take some at times

Can’t disagree with any of that but he did get tagged by Chisora and I thought he took it well. That’s surely the positive he took from that fight.

There should be a few decent heavyweight fights next year, there has to be!
Where Usyk fits into it all I’m not sure myself. Is he the new Holyfield, I don’t think so personally. The test will be when he gets hit properly by a near on 20 stone man. Don’t think we can take much from the Chisora fight, Chisora was just reckless for me and played to his strengths. Somebody who has a decent jab should give him a run for his money. I look at boxing talent and he is up there but he is dealing with some very powerful men at this level and one punch can end it all and that’s how I see him been beaten

If I didn’t know any different I would have sworn it was Bernard Hopkinson in there with Tyson, jab then trying to smoother him
Ref could have stepped in and sorted that out but if he had it would have been over in the second round. Had to laugh when Tyson hit him with the left to the body, he was hanging on for dear life after that
Bit of a farce

Was close last time. Time will tell
I would like to see him fight Joshua, possibly Whyte. JJ is at his prime, he won’t get much better for me now. Big fights
There’s a question for me, How good is Usyk. I wasn’t too convinced myself when he fought Bellew, yes he got the win but Bellew without being disrespectful was not exactly a world class champion with a track record

I don’t think Joyce gets anywhere near Usyk.

joyce is very light compared to his last fight !! will he come out fast and shock us all ?? 
thought Hamzah Sheeraz was going to be good
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1443
He is probably the favourite on youth, record and KOs to date.
If Joyce is to win he has to make Dubious feel the power early on, first or second round and make him cautious closing him down trying to land the big shot for me. Time will tell though
Real 50 / 50 for me. JJ is no mug and I believe this is the first real real test for DD. If Joyce can get the jab working and stopping him getting into positions to throw he could be in for a long punishing night
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1442
yep I did too I think he can box as well as bang and although still learning think he will be too much for Joyce
on the undercard Hamzah Sheeraz looks good

Looking forward to tonight i tipped dubois to be a heavyweight champion some time ago so i will stick with him .

JJ vs. DD, weigh in is up
Surprised me that, Joyce a stone heavier and looks in the shape of his career

Has the potential to be a very good fight for me Gerry. I watched the press conference and a gloves off type program, I get the feeling that both men fancy it and they both seem confident Respect to them both, both unbeaten and they could have probably found a few easier fights if they wanted to. Still, if you think your the best you should fight the best. Somebody’s “0” has got to go

In reply to Post #1428
Best I have seen him fight by a long way, needs to get the rounds in, did 10 last night, I always questioned if he could do the full 12 since he carries a bit of muscle but he looks good for it for me.
Formella was a tough opponent but it does make me wonder how strong Benin’s punches really are, a lot of them are short and fast but the big winging ones look dangerous but did not seem to have the effect for me. Thought the left that he threw to the body was superb but again, didn’t seem to have the effect I would have expected. You would have to ask Formella
Good footwork and changed the angles well. Like his rope work though, brilliant, got that from his dad
TBH after his rematch against the French Kicboxer I though he was near his level. Guess I was wrong, he seems to have come on leaps and bounds, respect.
Wardley looks like a good prospect, decent boxer with a decent shot. It will be interesting to see how he progresses

Conor Benn tomorrow, to be fair he does not excite me
Daniel Jacobs next week, great fighter. Joyce and Dubious too
Mighty Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jnr. Not sure what that’s all about but I hope nobody gets seriously hurt
Billy J Saunders vs. Martin Murray, strange one for me?
Spence vs. Garcia, hopefully he has to face Crawford soon
Luke Campbell
Yarde
Sam Eggington, usually a good scrap
Joshua vs. Pulev
And Canelo vs. Smith

In reply to Post #1412
I expect Dubious on youth alone and his aggressive style. I like JJ, slow starter at professional but has a decent record at amateur, did well against Usyk for me too
Not sure on this one, test for both fighters, all depends how good Joyce is with the jab and if he can keep Dubious off him
Dubious is powerful but reckless at times for me. I will be interested to see how he performs against a good boxer if Joyce’s jab is on form or ultimately Tyson Fury. I think a lesson is on the cards somewhere along the line for me

Got to agree that Chisora was awful. However Usyk surely takes from the fight that Chisora whose record shows he’s knocked out opponents he stood up to him and hurt an opponent who was 3 stone heavier. What I’ve seen of the heavyweight division ‘albeit not a great deal’ there ain’t many ‘only Tyson resembles anything close’ who are as nimble as him.
I thought he did very well and entitled to take a lot of confidence from that in that he never really looked in any danger throughout.

Chisora was awful , his cornermen did,nt heip , time to hang his gloves up.

In reply to Post #1372
Disappointed for big Del, heart like a lion, came out well in the first round but he had a mountain to climb. Usyk, good boxer and his footwork and movement was superb
With respect to big Del though, he is at the end of his career, his movement has never been great, he’s a big unit, bit of a machine, that’s his strength and what makes him a great entertainer, he wants a war!
I don’t doubt that Usyk beats Joshua, could be relatively easy for me, but Joshua does carry good power. If Hearn let’s it happen, which I doubt, he will try his best to block it, even though he is now the mandatory! He can lose to Fury or Usyk, mmmmmm, who it’s gonna be, another bum £
Joshua vs. Pulev
Winner fights Usyk
Wilder, Usyk avoids him like the plague and goes for Fury, and gets battered, either way
I suppose the question is, who will Fury fight in the meantime?
Tyson Fury beats them all. He would jab Usyk head off and catch him with the big ones too
Good news, it throws somebody else in the mix. For me
1. Fury
2. Wilder
3. Usyk
4. Joshua vs. Pulev, this all depends on what Pulev has left for me, who's got the biggest hammer!
Others?
Dubois hanging around somewhere?
I would love to see Joshua and Wilder, that should answer a few questions
I wonder if Usyk fancies Wilder, you never hear him talking about that much lol
Boxing politics and ****s like Hearn (£) spoil everything. It’s simple, the best should fight the best
|
|
|
|
|
What a talent Usyk is. Certainly moves around that ring well and believe if he fights Joshua he’ll win. Thought the bell saved Chisora at the end of round 7 as I really believe another 10-20 seconds Chisora would have gone.
|
|
|
|
|
Chisora should be too strong for usyk.usyk far better boxer but its not going to be a boxing match.Chisora will smother him and will knock him out.

Should be interesting, Del has to put it on him, lay on him, rough him up.
Usyk, for me this is a proper test, don’t get me wrong Chisora is at the end of his career but he is still dangerous. It will be interesting to see how he handles what I would call a proper heavyweight. Got to say, looks lean and mean at 15 1/2 stone though

For those that remember Francois Botha and interested in hearing an interview from him with my mate Dan Hewitt of boxing tv then info can be found on Dans site of boxing tv itself. Interviewed many good known fighters and more to come during his latest series.
Shameless plug but I’d love for Dan to become even more known than he currently is with the hard work and dedication he puts in.
Come on lads, give it a tune to see what you think.

What a performance from Lopez, great composure throughout
Took the fight to him from the off, made him feel the power, absolutely dominated. Lomo, clueless until the 9th when he had to throw the kitchen sink at him, gave him 9 and 10 myself, just disappointed Lopez didnt get the KO. Two purposely placed head clashes from Lomo too
Well, I will be honest and I have said it through this thread, I was never Lomo’s biggest fan, he looks the part with the fancy footwork and movement but he had never really fought any greats for me and the pundits call him the pound for pound king
A washed out Salido bet him, other than that I would say his best opponent until tonight was Linares, followed by Campbell and an over the hill Crolla which says a lot for me. 14 fights and 2 loses, not the record of a “hall of famer” or pound for pound king. Justice has been done
Sounds very critical but I find it disrespectful to the proper pound for pound kings and the guys who have done say the 40 - 0, the real pound for pound kings

In reply to Post #1358
Are you watching G?
Should be a good fight, great power for the weight Lopez and could knock lomo out if he catches him. Great boxer through Lomo and Lopez is a bit open at times. Could go either way
Lopez needs to rough him up like Salido did and then give him dynamite
Hopefully, should be a cracker
Edit - Just watched the weigh in. Lomo trying to spook Lopez, right in his face. Lopez look cool as a cucumber, not phased in the face off, looks relaxed. This could be a war

Read my earlier comments, knew he would, got the beating of his life and had a one punch chance in the rematch. He would get another beating of his life if he had.
Still number two though for me by a long way, dynamite 🧨

Well fight fans, a few upcoming fights and farces
I hear Mr Crawford is talking about a fight with Kell Brook, seriously, massive Brook fan, well passed his sell by date
Massive Crawford fan too. The fight for him is Spence
Tyson and Jones, dticthed the vegan diet iron Mike, on natural meat now, buffalo and the like as nature intended
I see Wilder is in great shape
I expect Fury to absolutely batter him again but none the less, if it does happen, which I doubt it will, still a dangerous fight for Fury
Lomo, Lopez looks like the one for me
Maywether, Logan Paul, ****ing spare me, seriously
Not sure what Canelo is on with other than the last time I read a paper it was a court case

Apart from watching a mate of mine I’ve not long since started watching the boxing boxing on tv I don’t really know anything about him, but what I saw last night he’s a fcuking big powerful lad which was said has got that knock out punch in him.

Yarde gets the win then. What do we reckon if / when he comes up against Buatsi, got to happen that hasn’t it

very sad news
I well remember that night F***ing total disgrace the way our so called boxing fans behaved throwing cans glasses and chairs into the ring
poor Alan was cut in the 1st round and took a proper beating it had to be stopped just could not believe what happened that night

Didn’t know that Jeff, not seen much of the news

Lovely to hear apart from that last sentence. Great boxer and such a shame that he’ll not be around any longer as I’m sure there’s plenty of young boxing buddies out there who learned so much from a legend. RIP Alan and condolences to all those sadly left behind.

Alan minter passed away today met him on a number of occasions and he always came to talk to me when we saw each other no matter who he was with , tough tough bloke who had a crap childhood , approved school etc , got absolutely destroyed by hagler,I was in the crowd that night total riot , I got bottled by some southern puff. R.I.P Alan.

Thank goodness the ref stopped in in the next fight as Chamberlain didn’t half land some powerful uppercuts.

I expected him going down in the later rounds. Proper tuff or the body shots did not have the impact they seemed to do
|

In reply to Post #1330
He did indeed took punishment front those body shots.
Did very well to finish as strong as he did.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1329
Agree there mate, that’s why he is a champ
TBH I thought come 7 or 8 he would be struggling to keep the hands up, took some proper punishment to the body and just came back, proper tuff lad
|
|

What a great finish and showed why he’s a champ. Don’t know where the strength came from to even lift his hands let alone the speed he was throwing them.

well in the event Josh does get thru it then ((and he should as he is fighting a 39 year old )) its leads the way clear for a AJ v Fury fight

|
|
|
Joshua v Pulev set for 12th December.
Who you got?.
|
|
|
|
Good finish from DD last night but a total miss match in class and weight for me
Looking good though DD, very aggressive, weight on the front foot, wanting to land all the time, nice body shots. Drops his guard too much for me though, he will find this out when he steps up in class.
As for the Joe Joyce fight, mmmmmm, only way I can see Joyce winning now is by dominating with the jab. Happy with the toe to toes DD
Will be interesting to see were he ends up. Looking like he could be a better boxer than Joshua for me, early days though, hopefully some massive fights ahead

In reply to Post #1302
I was in the pub Friday night and my boy and his mates were talking about the fight.
All agreed that when he won whyte would on to fight for a world title and that he he’d do this and that.
I’m stood there thinking he’s fighting a man who has given everyone I’ve seen him fight problems,as soon as I saw the fight advertised I thought I’ve seen whyte knocked down before and this fella could do it again.
Not a fan of the women fighting don’t sit right with me.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1307
He is a very good boxer. I thought he was over the hill after his last outing, but respect to him, dropped the weight, got the fitness and got the job done
MASSiVE difference in class and ability comparing either of these two with Fury. Plus Wilder, he would virtually cripple them in no time at all. Not fights I would want to see
I thought KT deserved the win, far superior boxer who landed very good clean punches. DP is a brave fighter, good stamina and a heart like a lion. I just thought she was reckless and her punches were not really counting, all over the place, lacking accuracy for me
Both gave it their absolute all though, exhausted at the end
|
|
|
|
|
I’d like to think that Povetkin doesn’t lay a glove on Fury unless it’s an equaliser.
|
|
|
|
|
Joshua wont fight fury , whyte has rematch clause but povetkin is now number 1 .
|
|
|
|
Initial reports from WBC are that Povetkin won't be mandatory for Fury like Whyte was. Does that set us up for AJ vs Fury if its true?
Unconfirmed from twitter. Your guess is as good as mine.
|
|
|
|
|
Povetkin outclassed and then finds the equaliser.

Thank you.

In reply to Post #1289
Yeah he has probably put a bit back on since the weigh in , good night in prospect.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1287
I was surprised at Povetkin coming in SOOOO light at the weigh in he kept his trainers on and jogging bottoms to scrape 16 stone so in reality he was in the 15s !! so we can guess his tactics
gonna be a goood night
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1287
Got to agree Jeff. KT is lacking in reach too so she is going to have to be on top of her game tonight.
I thought Povetkin looks up for this, probably his last chance. I would expect DW to bulldoze him though
All set for another great night of boxing
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1286
Can,t wait for this ! If Kt gets dragged into a war she will lose , she needs to box a controlled disciplined fight, povetkin looks spot on for this but at 40 I think whyte will have too much for him . Two interesting fights which could see any outcome.
|
|
|
|
Weigh in is up
KT has got to have the jab working well and movement to win this
Whyte, now this is interesting because he certainly cannot fight at a high tempo, came in heavy and Povetkin very light. He is either going to get caught early on or he could seriously trouble Whyte after 6 for me, if, and this is an If, if he has got the stamina and fitness to match the look
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1284
agreed
and I think KT is going to really struggle to win this one they will have both learnt a lot about each other
from the last fight reckon its going to be a proper war just hope KT sticks to skillful boxing and can stand up to the constant power thats coming
|
|
|

Risky fight for Dill to take but he should do it , KT on the other hand I'm worried about.

Whyte vs Povetkin
Could be an interesting one. I expect Whyte to blow him away but Povetkin does have a bangers chance i suppose
Im guessing the KT one will be the fight of the night

In reply to Post #1277
I think from the opening stages we could see that, different class and I think Fowler banged some weight on, looked massive compared, that’s why I don’t think he can stay at that weight
As I said below, two to three rounds earlier. Yes he was taking shots but he was not exactly getting gist for me, just out classed. He will have learned a bit from that though
And I agree what was said earlier, it is the corners job to protect him, they asked him clearly several times if he wanted to continue and he said he wanted the extra rounds. They both know each other, if I had have been there I would have let him carryon. If he was getting smashed all over the towel would have been in
Interesting Fowler’s Froch style though, might turn out to suit him, that jab is a proper weapon with weight behind it, not the best athlete though for me and struggles for the full 12.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1276
The fight should have been ended 4 rounds earlier , towel should have come in , thats how fighters end up seriously injured , he was never gonna knock fowler out so had no chance ,bad show from his corner.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1274
I agree but he wasn’t exactly hurt ???
behave ?
he was getting his ears boxed off he would of needed a knockout to win and that was never going to happen ??? so what do you do wait till he gets hurt ? or pull him out to save him from himself ?
|
|

yes great pleased with that result its for a world title so it should be a convincing win but it wasnt it was too close for a winner

In reply to Post #1272
its a corners job to protect their fighter ?
of course he wants to fight on but for what ? just to get hurt ? and agreed should of pulled him ot 2 rounds before tossers too many fighters getting hurt
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1271
He was talking to his corner and wanted to stay in the fight, can’t knock him for that. Two, possibly 3 rounds too many for me Gerry but that was his choice?

Massive difference in class fowler on fire , should pull him out.
|

Ding, ding, looking forward to this
Well, first round down, don’t know about Fowler sparring with Froch, I’m guessing he has been coached by him, low fast leading hand jab and powerful right, looks like Froch

IT'S ON! Tyson Fury says he will ‘annihilate’ Anthony Joshua after he ‘smashes Deontay Wilder’s face in’ first as Eddie Hearn confirms agreement for all-British fight in 2021
Agree with him. Said it before in this thread. If they meet he will give him the boxing lesson of his life and absolutely humiliate him
The only way Joshua wins is if Fury does not put the effort into training and takes it for granted, stupidly careless or show boating his head off
Wilder, if it happens, I will be surprised if it does, is still a very, very, very dangerous fight even though Fury has his number 10 times over. He still has the shot
They should make Joshua fight Wilder first, but I’m guessing he would rather take the humiliation of a lesson than pure dynamite

Oh my life that’s just gotta hurt....
Will look up Mark Gross later on and ask my mate if he may have heard of him too.
My son does the weights and on occasions operates the doors at night clubs. Anyhow my son was working one night with his mate ‘who had the pro licence for kick boxing’ and he’s as strong as an ox.
Anyhow, it kicks off one night in the club and both of them rush over to see what’s what and in the ensuing melee his mate got hold of this bloke, carried him through the club and out the doors. A few seconds later my lad was knocking on the door to be let back in because he’d also grabbed hold of and kicked him out too...Isanely powerful.

Mark Gross mate. Long time ago now
Know this bloke too, proper loon. This was after the transition from full contact karate into kickboxing, 147 fights, and 141 wins, machine. And you thought Chavez had a record lol
AL
Another one of my mates used to train with him, watch the knock out, kick to the liver, practised that kick solid for around 3 months prior to that fight, landed it perfect 👌

Funnily enough my other mate had his kick boxing licence through, ready to turn pro and then his mother was worried sick about him doing it so he’s not taken it up further.
What was his name mate?.

Forgot to mention that Frank Warren signed up Nathan Heaney around a month ago. Hopefully he’ll stay on track for a crack at the British title then providing he comes through that challenge then all being well it’d be great have a crack at the worlds.

Sorry mate about late reply only just noticed this.
It was a telephone call between just myself, Jeff and my mate Dan.
Jeff said that he’ll be happy to take an interview with Dan which when it does come off it’ll be on boxing tv that Dan set up and is doing well for himself.
I’ll let you know when the interview will be on....
He was due to interview Thomas Hearns the other month but unfortunately Tommy pulled out for some reason.
Interviewed many big names on his live show ‘Tyson Fury too before his world title fight’ and long may it continue.
Your description of Jeff being relentless sums him up perfectly.
Edit - Shameless plug but anyone interested in listening to Dans show called boxing tv then it’s on both Facebook and YouTube but is trying to plug YouTube more so if folk would are interested then it’d be fantastic if you would subscribe to YouTube. Currently in between series at the moment and awaiting the start of his latest series.
Thanks all. Oh, show is on sundays at 7pm for a couple of hours.
Great interview with Joe Cortez and James Toney a couple of weeks ago.

I wonder if Sky have published a few? Looking at the comments they are quite new?
Wonder if they are finally releasing the old fights, would be an absolutely travesty to let them just disappear

This was a great fight. What Paccy did to Dela Hoya was unreal for me especially with DH reach advantage. Styles make fights. Watch his movement, stepping in, slipping, timing and speed, immense

Speaking to my mate Dan Hewitt last evening we then get onto talking about the best fights we’ve ever seen.
Mine was Azumah Nelson v Jeff Fenech 1.
Thought Fenech was robbed myself and so did everyone else too.
Anyway, 1 hour later Dan phones me back with Jeff Fenech on the line and a three way conversation ensued.
Scarily Dan is interviewing Joe Cortez this coming Sunday evening on boxing tv who was the actual referee for that fight back in 1991.
Jeff Fenech spoke about his open heart surgery that he amazingly survived and to make it even more scary my father passed away in 1976 when he himself had trouble with his heart valve but I suppose back then the medical science wasn’t available.
What a warrior both inside and outside of the ropes.
Anyone interested in subscribing to my mates boxing tv channel then it’s readily available to do so on YouTube and is also available to view on Facebook but Dan is trying to plug the YouTube option as much as possible.
Surreal to say the least.......
Edit - well worth a listen and interviewing some top top fighters both past and present and well worth staying tuned for the quiz at the end too.
Edit. Be speaking to James Toney too amongst others.

In reply to Post #1202
Nice grounded lad too.
Hopefully he’ll push on further now.
He’s now 31 years of age but he’s a young 31 in that he feels he didn’t fully grow into his body until the age of around 27 and that has resulted in possessing that knock out punch. He took time out from boxing to start a family and to concentrate on his career as a lecturer. Felt that he had to return back to the ring as he’s a 3-4 year window to achieve whatever is possible and to have no regrets.
Turned pro around 3 years ago now and fought some good opponents in that time and fortunately remains undefeated in 10 bouts.
If dedication gets one to the top then he’ll get there.
Good luck Nathan.

Wow, I’m absolutely buzzing by the news that Nathan Heaney has been signed up by Frank Warren (Queensberry promotions) and BT sports.
His late father will be absolutely delighted as he’s always said that one day Frank Warren will sign his son up and the hard work he’s put in to achieve that will now become even harder.
Well done Nathan, really really happy for you and for all those who’ve put in the hard work behind the scenes too and his trainer Steve Woodvine is also an amazing gentlemen.
Onwards and upwards from here on in hopefully and above all else remain safe.

Monster of a man
And then there was his comeback at a ripe old age!
This is not a knock at all either but what a fight with Ali and how it unfolded, tactically it has to be up there with one of, if not the best of all time, sensational and truly amazing. George was going to knock him through the ropes
What a sport!

I found the Eubank one very good, different side to the man
How do you want to be remembered he was asked?, after a long thought, as the man who got up through a beating and carried on, Heart of a lion that man, proper tuff and powerful man, simply the best
I was a massive Benn fan at the time, used to put it all on the line, every time, war, brilliant
Interesting that both Benn and Eubank said Watson was the best by a mile in every department

Great news fight fans. Just read on the net that Fury is trying to arrange a fight with Joshua
Wilder will step aside for 40 million, this will give him time to reinvent himself. Still think he will hang the gloves up myself
Let’s hope it happens for the good of boxing. A unification fight
Could be in the UK too unless Fury want to entertain his American fans

It’s some noise he comes out to and thankfully as Nathan says with a support like that they’ve allowing him to live his dream in hoping to be the best he can.

Such a level headed lad who I hope can progress further in which I’m hopeful he will.
His best mate Dan Hewitt runs boxing tv which is available to watch through Facebook and if you could give that a like or two and a share that’d be fantastic too. No doubt he’ll be interviewing Nathan again sometime soon I’d have thought but for now his show is on every Sunday evening between 7-8 where he interviews folks from the boxing world and obviously the boxers too.
Thanks all and hopefully onwards and upwards.

I don’t know mate but when it is it’s an absolute master performance. Just spoke with Nathan to tell him how pleased I am for him and how he stepped it up a notch.
He’s a classy opponent he’s just being in with and he made it look as though he’s another level in him or many more.
Got the belt out and photos all round.
Told him that what I’ve seen tonight is how I realised just how good you can be.
British middleweight title next I’d have thought.

Scott looked so far off it last night , as happens at his age he was seconds too slow , training in america for 2 years at freddies place has took it out of him and turned him into an old man !spoke to him this morning and he did,nt think he was getting beaten ! Anthony wanted to throw the towel 2 rounds earlier ! As i expected fury,s opponent looked like he had been just dragged out the pub for the fight ! Parker fight was fantastic , i blinked and the fowler fight was over.

Cracker that, knew it would be. Great win for Caroll
Got to say he has come on levels since I last saw him close up on a Kell Brook undercard. I knew he would be a match for most people but last night his movement and timing was superb and the right hook. Never question his stamina, he can do the full twelve at a high rate, warrior

your not wrong mate dont these idiots know anything about gloves ?
and as you said Furys flicking slapping shots are just a distract to land a bomb
and Wayne why not watch all the video you might learn something about boxing gloves
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1160
**** me there are some idiots on the internet. Its a flicking jab he is throwing, pull back, bend the wrist back and flick it out, its a fast off balancer to line a shot up jab
A boxing glove is pre-curved too which does not help with the pictures. Idiots
The other shots were bad connections

|

In reply to Post #1159
not sure what your talking about ? did you ACTUALLY watch it ALL !! in the link I posted
I stopped watching when the bloke was bending his wrist saying its the same, which looks nothing like what furys glove was actually doing!
His hand is not in the glove properly!

It’s like his hand is sitting inside the wrist section the way the glove is bending at 90 degrees would mean a broken wrist......

Good luck unlacing and taping that
The bronze bummer got bombed
It was the suit Wayne, have you not seen the headlines
I’m quite sure a near on 20 stone machine could virtually destroy a pair of gloves in a fight, it will bend that padding right back
Iron mikes party piece was destroying a heavy bag

Got to agree. I reckon the Caroll vs. Quigg should be a belter
Same as Hughie green

Anyone seen Fury’s gloves in the Deontay fight, very suspicious watching the slow mo videos and blatantly looks like his left hand is simply not in the glove which by definition is cheating!!!!

Thats a very good card , scott is a lad i know personally , fowler was thought of as a world beater but fell like a lead balloon , yep i shall enjoy that .Apart from of course Hughie green !!!

Some decent fights on Sky this weekend fight fans:
Scott Quigg vs Jono Carroll (Super-Featherweight)
Hughie Fury vs Pavel Sour (Heavyweight)
Anthony Fowler vs Jack Flatley (Super-Welterweight)
Zach Parker vs Rohan Murdock (Super-Middleweight)
I have watched Caroll a few times, proper little tough man who gives it 100%. Always entertaining
Fowler has fallen from stardom, was highly rated, he has to make a statement?

Wilder would put Whyte out of there with no trouble at all. I hope it happens, I wouldn’t want him to get seriously hurt though
A mandatory, he is not, your right. Not hand picked like most of the others
I do have a problem with the peoples champ, the poster boy of British boxing and as a fight fan it really pisses me off, because the truth is he ain’t the fighter he is made out to be but he sits on the belts. I hope he gets them took off him again soon. Long live the real king
He could turn out to be the 6th best in the world because, Fury, Wilder beat him, Pulev could, Wallin could and I wouldn’t be surprised if a washed out Ortiz could
He can’t box for toffee, he’s like a poor mans Wilder for me. His rematch against Ruiz was an extremely poor show
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1146
Whyte moves forward though, and windmill cant deal with that. How can pulev be another hearn line up as you call it? He's mandatory, and has been a while. Fight him or give up a belt, those are the choices. You can hardly blame hearn for that!

Whyte beat Wilder, PMSL.
Wilder is not a great boxer, I agree, Whyte moves like he has his feet nailed to the floor in comparison. Easy target, Bomb squad

In reply to Post #1144
I take little interest in Joshua for me. I didn’t know it was a mandatory either, nor do I care. It’s another Hearn line up, nuff said for me.
Says a LOT really to say I’m a massive boxing fan
On another note, it could set up for an end of year showdown with the winner of Fury vs. Wilder 3. But that won’t happn will it, because he’s nailed on to lose...
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1143
So why call him a bum, and say aj should be fighting his mandatory (which he is )?
He's a decent fighter who could cause aj some issues. Wilder isn't actually a good boxer in the slightest, literally his only attribute is his power. After the beating fury gave him it will be interesting to see if he can bounce back, or whether he will end up like Jeff lacy or Lucian bute after their respective beatings. After his last fight I honestly believe dillian whyte might just have the beating of him too
Speaking of whyte, just been announced he's fighting povetkin beginning of May

In reply to Post #1140
I am aware of this and his record. I am also aware he has a knock out punch. I am also aware he is 38 but for a heavyweight this is not so much of an issue. Even though I am not a Joshua fan I would say he is a level above Pulev. Definitely not a fight I am interested seeing myself
There are two decent heavyweights and one who claims to be. These are the ones I want to see. Like I said earlier, he might fight Wilder when he’s 50, my money would still be on Wilder
I don’t think there’s an heavyweight about who wouldn’t fancy a fight with Joshua, he has been rocked many times
|
|
|
|
Pulev is actually a very good boxer , i think he only has 1 loss on his record to klitschko so he is no mug .
Sorry did,nt see your post Ian !!

The inquest of Nathan’s father was published in the evening sentinel. As far as I’m aware Nathan wasn’t aware of the contents of the article and has since ‘as recently as yesterday’ spoke about his fathers passing.
In short Nathan’s father had taken his own life and in the hope that should anyone feel alone then to talk about it and seek help.
I do not know how to do links but I do know that it’s on Stoke on Trent live should anyone be able to find/post the link and hopefully if it strikes a cord with just one person then to that person it may help to transform their life.
Truly heartbreaking.
A day after Nathan’s father passing this was when he was informed he’d be challenging for the Midlands middleweight title.
Love ya Nathan mate and so so proud of you.

Pulev is a mandatory, and has only lost once against wlad so hardly a bum... He certainly won't be beaten before he gets into the ring and could cause an upset

Still Pulev could spark him. Should have made him fight Wallin minimum.
About time they made them do mandatory defences. Hearn has it sewn up the ****

Nathan Heaney middleweight continental title challenge is available on PPV on Fite.TV from the kings hall Stoke on Trent on Friday March 13th.
£9.99 but early price of £7.99 available from now until 2nd March.
Don’t know how to do links but this is listed as below.
https://www.fite.tv/watch/bcb-ibo-continental-title/2p62d/
Unsure what any of the above means but one thing I do know is that it promises to be a fantastic night of boxing which amongst Nathan Heaney features the likes of Cole Johnson and Luke Caci.
Fantastic fighters in which is a sell out at the kings hall.
Come on all get behind Nathan and the boys.
Edit. Comes up oops page not found but if you click on the boxing you’ll then see it listed for March 13th to purchase.
Any questions then feel free to ask and I’ll ask my mate Dan Hewitt and report back.
Thank you.

Would have been a rather fitting way for it to end, especially as he's said on more than one occasion he wants a body on his record. His soppy Mrs was saying during fight week that he would get his body during this fight...

The 20kg outfit excuse made me chuckle. I know a plasterer that’s 9 stone wet and smokes smack in the van, he manages bags of plaster heavier than that and does his own knocking up
Should’ve let him “go out in his shield” because it’s no different to the whole world willing him to iron out his opponents
Bell end

One thing for sure, he got the beating of his life
Ive watched it several times now, Fury was just pure class

Looked a right little kid as though he was expecting to be handed jelly and ice-cream instead of a beating.
|

His whole pathetic outfit weighed 7 stone !!! ****ing idiot , fury just as bad coming to the ring on a throne , mike tyson did it best just walked in shorts boots thats it !!!
|

beaten by his costume
and when he says 40 pounds it was probably 10.

In reply to Post #1104
Deffo the batteries for the glowing eyes
20kg for a heavyweight athlete is absolutely **** all
Could have been the glowing eyes that damaged his vision for 7 rounds?
He ain’t got no stamina. That’s the first fight he has had to fight at somebody else pace and it destroyed him

Just got in from a great night out with my mate Dan Hewitt of boxing tv and his boxing buddy and world champion Alfonso Lopez in which Nathan Heaney has been sparring with today and has learnt a lot from the experience in doing so.
If one is able to his boxing tv programme is worth a follow.

🤯 Deontay Wilder: “He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is my uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight… I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy. It weighed 40lbs with the helmet and all the batteries.” [@YahooSports] https://t.co/1fMBhzNISS

He is a total bull****ter knew it couldnt happen !! . Echo that
I would say leave Joshua in the cold but either of these two could take the belts off him without much trouble.
TBH I am very surprised Wilder wants it. He will get another beating for me
If justice were to be really done, Wilder should fight Joshua then the winner fight Fury. The real thing would be a unification fight
Hearn is a complete and utter **** $

Saying that i am glad they threw the towel in as he was going down heavy any minute and nobody wants to see that.
Thought the same myself. Could have stopped it in the 5th for me. Wilder was gone. Can’t say I’m a big fan of him either but credit where credits due, he took the punishment, he could have quit
Fury, if that’s not the making of a Hollywood movie, nothing is, back from such a deep, dark place and massive weight gains and self destruction and then this, truly unbelievable for me, something else

I thought right from the very start that Wilder looked elsewhere. Great to carry 20 stone too when you can put your arm around your opponents neck, maul him a little and tire him out more.
Well done Tyson,

Tyson Fury is a very skilful thinking Boxer
he can seamlessly switch to either hand he out boxed him for most of the time in the last fight this time he was outstanding and completely outclassed the one trick pony thats the real truth and wasnt it wonderful to watch
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1092
I think the same Jeff and it’s as you mentioned below. Tyson Fury is nearly a 20 stone man and that is a serious unit. That jab is devastating, especially when he is stepping through with it. I think Wilder copped for it in the first round and felt it and knew he was in for some punishment never mind the right
Wouldn’t be surprised if he had broke his jaw too. Some serious swelling coming up there

In reply to Post #1091
Ha thats a good pic , bust his ear drum thats why he had no balance , but he looked awful from the off , thoroughly outclassed and wilder held his hands far too low allowing fury to throw far too easily.

If I was Wilder I would go all out just to target that eye to make it easier to then plant the big one But I would love Fury to outbox and knock him out exciting times shyte undercard so not worth staying up but knowing me I wont be able to bloody sleep Im like a child I get too excited lol
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1074
Agree about the eye Jeff, terrible injury. I hope it holds out.
Same as me, I definitely want him to win but I believe this could easily go either way
Telll you what is amazing, the width of Wilders stance when you watch him, likes to be planted and ready to unload, reckon Fury should try a leg sweep!
|
|
|
|
|
will be interesting to see what the effect the weights have here, I'd like to see fury still sharp and fit at the weight, fight disciplined, wilder was looking pretty gassed at the end of the last fight, I'm hoping he struggles to carry the weight and tires late and fury stops him!
|
|
|
|
Fury has got two major weaknesses , suffered a career stopping cut in the worst place possible in his last fight,l would be surprised if that does,nt open up , And he takes stupid chances when he should,nt , drops his hands sticks his tongue out and showboats something you dont want to do when your facing a bloke with a sledgehammer of a punch ,
Most people think fury cant punch he certainly can ! He has an unbelievable powerful jab ,I hope he can do it he will be nearly 3 1/2 stone heavier than wilder come fight time , I just cant see him avoiding wilders power punch , I hope he proves me wrong .
|
|
|
|
Well, the weigh in is up and no face off
Fury, 3 stone weight advantage and is adamant he will stop Wilder in the second
Wilder heaviest to date so it looks like both men are going for the KO
I’m going to go with Fury. He took the last fight after a long lay off, I expect him to be a completely different animal now, great shape and I am confident he can go the distance if need be as well as put Wilder down
Wilder, world class puncher, not boxer, Fury beats him easily in this comparison. Wilder, wide stance looking to land that bomb when they step in. Said it before, MIke Tyson was made for him, inside, close and out with him. For me Fury has to ruff him up on the inside, put him on the back foot and close those feet, lay on him and sap his energy and this is one of Wilders major weaknesses for me. He looks in great shape as always but he has definitely not got the engine for a full distance pressure fight for me, all the fights are fought at his pace so that one area to take advantage, press him, close the feet, can’t land the bomb and lay on him. At range Fury out boxes him. In the last fight it was an error by Fury that cost him, he dominated that fight.
Heavyweight boxing, anything can happen, could be over in one, Fury needs to be careful on the way in, hold onto your seats, I can’t wait for this
Somebody’s O has got to go

I think that is part of the programme on tv, i have been lucky enough to have been around fury since he was a young lad , he was and is a very talented boxer , certainly the most talented british heavyweight we have had for some years, Lennox was the best i have seen close up but i have never classed him as british as he represented canada as an amateur.The problem with fury is everything that comes with him , saying that most top boxers and indeed top sportsmen have their demons , I hope he can defeat wilder but my head says he will get knocked out , joshua will only fight wilder when and if he has to because his defence is so poor he would,nt stand a chance.

In reply to Post #1063
Another good watch
What that man came back from and what he did should never be forgotten for me, a truly amazing story
I think Wilder thought it would be another bum on the record. To date for me, he has fought nobody really convincing, Ortiz been the best after Fury, who with all due respect is a good boxer but well passed his prime. Still, you can only fight what’s around you and other than Fury I don’t think we an in an era blessed with true heavyweight talent. Joshua proved to me what I already knew and the same will happen again if he fights Fury or Wilder, unless Hearn waits until Wilder is around 70

Nathan Heaney be fighting against Christian Schembri on the 13th March for the IBO middleweight intercontinental title ‘edit - sorry, IBO continental’ at the kings hall stoke after it was sanctioned by British board who cleared it the other day.
Spoke to Nathan and he sees is as a step up in class as his opponent has been in with very decent opponents in the past most notably Scott Dixon former commonwealth champion where he lost on points in his first fight with him but won the second.
Come on Nathan stay focused and and hopefully he’ll progress further should he win this latest challenge in his career.
Nathan vacated his midlands middleweight title due to him having to do this if he was to want to box at the Birmingham arena in which he did too and thankfully won that challenge.
Had a fantastic amateur career in which he beat the likes of Terry Flannagan who later went onto become a world champion. The pedigree is there and hopefully he’ll realise his dreams providing he keeps his feet on the ground in which I’m sure he will.
Good luck Nathan.

I didn't go so missed it. I was there for the Zerafa fight and he looked very jaded, far from his best, saying that he was not with Ingle and fighting in a different style which I though did not suit him. Be interesting to see who he fights next. Im sure Khan will be waving his hands in the air when he thinks Brook is a spent force. That should have happened years ago
Good win for the Kid. Should not have lost the Warrington fight for me. Very classy boxer, just left it a bit late for me with his career and the big world title fights

In reply to Post #1034
It’s gonna be an interesting one for sure. Says he’s going to knock Wilder out in two
I think the only way Wilder gets beat is a Mike Tyson style fighter, in close puts it on him or somebody makes him work and tires him out. I watch his fights and I believe he can’t fight at a decent tempo and lacks real stamina, most of the time very, very low pace. For me Fury did him last time until the mistake. I have no doubt Fury can out box him but it’s a big ask over another 12 rounds
Ortiz boxed his head off again but held back too much for me. Once the bomb was landed, game over. Amazing really because that’s all he is looking for
One thing for sure, it will be a good fight

Boxing commentators
is it just me that thinks Carl Froch is one of the best at giving the most accurate commentary ??
a few others are at it now but dont think they come close to Carl
What do you think ? WHO do you like to hear commentating during a fight ??????
|
|
|
|
Calzaghe latest
Joe Calzaghe believes Anthony Joshua needs to fight fellow heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder in order to secure his legacy in boxing.
Calzaghe, a former two-weight world champion who retired undefeated, thinks boxing is suffering unless Joshua fights the winner of Fury's proposed February bout with WBC champion Wilder.
"They are the three main heavyweights and they need to get in the ring to see who is the best," Calzaghe explained.
"It should be one name, one champion."
Nuff said for me

|
|

I see Fury has Joshua in his training camp as a sparring partner
That’s one way for Joshua to see if he’s good enough without a public humiliation
|

In reply to Post #1003
Definitely agree about lost too much weight.Fury has never really been that powerful for a guy of his size though.If he comes in at that weight against Wilder,I think he will get knocked out.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #1003
It makes for an interesting fight again for me
Fury far superior boxer for me and could virtually hit Wilder at will
Wilder is good at what he does, not a good boxer, everything is built around landing that big right, he is very good at conserving his energy for me too when you watch him. I don’t think he can fight many rounds at a high tempo, also he’s never needed to.
I hope Fury batters him and puts him out in the later rounds. Wilder has the bomb though. I expect much of the same

Having a good jab must be so frustrating for an opponent whose frequently feeling there head getting jolted back and forth every few seconds.
I liked the look of AJ’s jab but unsure if he truly possesses that knockout punch.

In reply to Post #987
I don’t like Wilder, crap boxer but he has dynamite in that right hand and he knows how to land it, that’s why.
I truly hope him and Joshua meet and Joshua wins but that is not going to happen, Wilder will smash him to bits, trust me.
Joshua is not in the same league as Wilder and Fury. I hope and pray they meet and you will see. I will tell you what happens next. Hearn has him fighting bums again, that’s whats wrong £££££££££
Wilder smashes him to bits or Fury gives him a public humiliation and the boxing lesson f his life. Let’s hope it happens and I’m wrong!
Hope I’m wrong and it happens. I hope Joshua unifies all the belts and the dream comes true. He is not that fighter

Wilder up a level in what way?He is not a boxer he has no skill at all.The only thing wilder has is raw power,fury is the best boxer but has no power.AJ got his belts back,stuck to the game plan superbly.Would he beat fury or wilder who knows but wilder has avoided him for some reason.

Not a convincing boxing performance at all but he did enough to do the job. I bet Ruiz walked away thinking if I were to do that again I would win?
Boxing is about levels and this was clearly shown to me last night.
Whyte was poor, very flat footed, no stamina, both men just trying to bomb each other out, like British title level.
Povotkin was lucky for me but I cant say the yank offers much either or should I say a threat to the better guys in the division
Upper a level Joshua and Ruiz which was a poor fight but it was about the result
Up another level Fury and Wilder, and for the fore mentioned it’s quite a step for me, Fury the supreme boxer by far and Wilder, he can just land those killer shots
|
|
|

Well I bet Ruiz is regretting putting on all that weight now ! the rematch whenever it happens lol will see a trimmed down fatman Im sure
I was amazed AJ stuck to the plan right too the end too..................well it worked he has the belts back so fair play to him

McCracken had him boxing tonight, fair play.
Needed to be composed and did a job but was more a formality than a spectacle. At least the Saudis got some rounds for their zillion quid
|
|
|
|
|
No matter what AJ did tonight he would not make everyone happy.It was being said before he was to muscle bound,he trims down he gets slated.He boxed to instruction,got the job done which I did not think he would.He has come from humble beginnings and is a very wealthy man for that I say well done.
|
|
|
|
|
Joshua boxing to instruction, just had to to win
|
|
|
|
Contrasting styles in which I enjoy seeing a boxer keeping a fighter at bay.
Well done AJ stuck to the gameplan.
|
|
|
|
I've said for years Wilder would DESTROY AJ. That fight has not changed my mind.
AJ danced his way to the belts. Mind numbingly boring fight.
|
|
|
|
|
Joshua boxed well thought it was an awful fight .
|
|
|
|
Job done for Joshua
Boring fight but tactically he was superb, nice short popping jab and superb movement. Massive learning from the first fight, worlds apart, he boxed this time
Still the 3rd best heavy weight in the world. Wilder of Fury soon I hope

Think the same, he is not a natural, very limited skills. Poster boy of British boxing and to be fair he is a good figure head for the youth. Just laughing, watched the 7th round again where Ruiz puts it on him, clueless in defence
My current thinking, being caught up in the pre fight build up is, has RMcK changed him, if it’s possible to get the job done? Basic skills for fighting a smaller fighter is the upper cut on the way in, can’t see how he can throw it without been seriously countered
My deep down thoughts are, he doesn’t stand a chance, Ruiz has his number and once you have somebody’s number you could beat them time and time again
One thing for sure if it comes to Joshua sitting on a pile of belts for the next few years fighting bums, I do hope he loses. I would love to see Ruiz fight Wilder, I would fancy Ruiz chances
|
|

In reply to Post #964
Fast as he can
I expect short fast hands, can’t see how he can keep Ruiz at bay, the jab didn’t work last time
Can’t wait now

In reply to Post #965
Yep most heavyweights bang , joshua included , he has an awful defence and does,nt recover from a punch ,
Ruiz gets caught easily but can take a punch ! For me joshua has to knock ruiz out to win he wont beat him if he does,nt , yes he is capable of knocking ruiz out , im lucky enough to have seen first hand some of the best heavyweights training for fights , joshua doesnt train like any i have ever seen , too much emphasis on weights , nothing natural about him , I keep going on about pricey because i am close to him , when he lost his first fight he was never the same ,joshua could,nt live with pricey sparring , they had to keep stopping the sessions as joshua was getting caught far too easily , It will be interesting.

And fury could probably turn up still coked up carrying an extra 20 stone and outbox him
It’s what you make of it as a spectator, I enjoy any well matched fight and am not a fan of any one boxer so just admire the hard work and sport.
Having had a crack I know how hard it is to be good, let alone world class... and sadly world class heavyweights are a rarity.
I didn’t have the temperament to get chinned and stay disciplined enough not to get taken to the cleaners

WELL passed his best and one more punch that night would have put Joshua out of there and that would have been embarrassing. He has been rocked too many times for me. Jesus, seriously if he or anybody thinks he stands a chance against Wilder forget it. Wilder would do him some serious damage

As you well know Jeff, the big boys bang hard.. only takes one on the button and it’s good night Vienna.
AJ can draw a crowd and give a good spectacle against the right fighter, he can also get humiliated by the wrong one.
Just amazed he can beat one of the most dominant champions of all time, albeit past his best, and lose to the pilsbury dough boy.

In reply to Post #961
Problem is joshua does,nt have blistering fast hands ! Because joshua does not have an amateur pedigree (he was fast tracked ) know one knows how he will respond to the defeat ! One things for sure he will be crapping himself as he knows ruiz can and has beaten him , losing weight is another factor you lose strength , it really is last chance saloon for joshua as ive said before he will have nowhere to go if he loses.

One thing for sure. Joshua has to be ready because Ruiz will be on him
|

In reply to Post #961
I guess Ruiz has packed on extra weight/muscle to increase the power of his punches
I guess AJ will have been training to improve his crap defence keeping his hands up and trying to jab away keeping it long moving around so mavbe Ruiz will have trained to attack the body first ?
who knows lol
cant wait though
|

Weigh in today for the heavyweight clash
Edit. Should be a great night of boxing this, Whyte is up too
I’ve seen enough, I’m gonna make my prediction how the fight is going to pan out lol. Well I though RMcK had to reinvent him and it looks like he has. Lightest ever, tells me he’s going for hand speed and stamina, still to be convinced with the stamina though and you can’t train a glass jaw
He has given away 3 stone to Ruiz who has come into this one even heavier
Ding ding, come out fighting. Joshua blistering fast hands trying to keep Ruiz at bay hoping for an early finish, I wonder if he is more mobile with the weight loss. TBH I’ve said for a long time this is what he is missing, previously too much muscle, a bit of a plodder, in and out, not lateral movement and this is what he will need to beat Ruiz, too easy to hit last time. If he try’s to keep him on the jab he loses, everybody tried to keep iron Mike on the jab lol
Ruiz is Ruiz, bulldozer, mugger. He will be supremely confident for me since he absolutely battered Joshua last time out. This could be his downfall, walking onto a big one is how he loses for me. This time though he has had more time to prepare than the 3 week notice last time!!!
It’s gonna be an interesting one this because if Joshua loses that could be it for me
He has to win. Is he going to, mmmmmmmmm

In reply to Post #939
Joshua can make all the excuses he wants he is not the fighter that Hearn hyped him up to be. I could see that many fights ago, so easy to hit, no movement and a glass jaw. He has been rocked many times before Ruiz gave him the lesson of his life and that’s what he did.
I can’t see Joshua winning unless RMcK has reinvented him. Styles make fights and if he thinks he’s gonna keep Ruiz on the jab all night think again. I think it will go much the same as the first fight, once Joshua realises he can’t keep Ruiz at bay he will get sparked.
The only way I can see Joshua win is an early blitz or if Ruiz walks onto one. The longer it goes on it’s Ruiz for me. I think he is more of a handful than people realise, fast hands, powerful, good movement. I would like to see him fight Wilder myself
Let’s not forget Ruiz had very short notice for this fight too!!!
Either way the winner should fight Wilder or Fury, since Wilder holds the other belt I hope they make the winner have a mandatory against him. I want to see somebody unify the belts. I am not a Wilder fan but he deserves it

In reply to Post #937
Ruiz wins it by a ko for me if joshua cant tighten his defence .
All sorts of rumours regarding joshuas health in the first fight , if you listen to his corner he asks why he feels so tired and his legs are heavy , he is too muscular to be a great boxer if his fluids are wrong it straps your strength , so does taking heavy shots like he did, ruiz is a clever fighter and unless joshua chins him early on he will draw joshua into a brawl he wont win.
So for me Ruiz wins which would mean joshua career over as no one would want to fight him , they wouldnt need to ,ruiz fights wilder ,wilder wins and holds all belts .

Ruiz Jr v Joshua 2 Ring walks at 8.30pm next Saturday
And I think SKY is going to charge £25 !!!!
Well ??? Cmon lads who and how do you think will win ? give us your guesses !!
Me well I find it very hard to call as both men posses the power to stop each other with big bombs my heart says AJ but !!!!!!!!! Ruiz is a very skilful boxer with VERY fast hands and throws hurtful punches ......... so unless AJ can get rid of him in the 1st 3 or 4 rounds you gotta say Ruiz with his superior boxing ability

In reply to Post #933
Well said on all points Jeff, especially the costume
Says the Fury rematch is next, that should be very interesting
I’m am interested to see if Ruiz can beat Joshua again. I would like to see him fight Wilder. I think a Mike Tyson would have had him out of there in two when he was in his prime, made for Wilder, same as Ruiz is for me, needs to be inside and all over him not at the end of that 10 foot pawing jab lining the right up
One thing about Wilder, he has devastating power but you never seem to see the clean spark outs for me, just seems to leave them dazed and staggering lol, must admit though, proper dynamite in the right

In reply to Post #932
Groves had hard fights froch etc before he fought smith and tbh looked awful against smith , I dont rate smith infact i dont like smith any of them but i have my own reasons why . He would,nt live with canello , his next fight he wants at anfield , he better improve !!
I like john ryder he was humble in defeat and said he thought he did enough to win which in my opinion he certainly did .
As a heavyweight if you have that power you only need one trick !
What i detest about wilder is his costumes !
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #931
Totally agree
Smith Ryder was a great fight but that is one major boxing miscarriage of justice. John Ryder won that fight by a few rounds for me. Smith was very poor, could hardly land a clean shot. Ryder was fantastic, slipping the shots and landing the power shots. Rematch please. The fans we’re booing for a reason, same as me. Robbery, and they were local fans!
As for Tony Bellew, I like the man but he’s does talk some bollox, Callum this, Callum that. It was a very poor performance for me and if he thinks he can beat Canelo, dream on. Johnny Nelson was bang on for me, Ryder by one or two rounds
I don’t get Smiths style, he is a long gangly lad but likes a tear up close in. I thought he struggled in some of the super series fights and he struggled big time against Skoglund for me when I watched that one and he got a UD!. The Groves fight I thought he had turned the corner and he boxed him very well and keep him on the jab, I think that said more about Groves at the end of his career than Smith, against Ryder back to standard but I credit Ryder for that, superb proper clean solid shots. Respect to Smith he is a fighter because when he gets tagged he automatically tries to counter, this is what will cost him against Canelo for me
As for the bronze bummer
Ortiz on both occasions boxed his head off, just the bomb
Wilder, devastating power
Rubbish boxer, one trick pony

Watched the fight last night. On the under card of those two you tube moneys ffs, what a shambles for boxing that is
Quite a close fight since the Argie was unbeaten, had a good reach and countered superb with his right. Great finish by Saunders and he landed some cracking shot through the fight. As per usual, though he lacked the fitness level, question his commitment to the fight, LOT to work on if he wants Canelo. Where he’s at now his next fight could be his first loss sadly, hope I’m wrong
I do like the ingle style and I think it suits him. There will be a few who watched that last night and think, I will have some of that but I will drop him with the right. I like the lad, just like Fury, needs to up his game, I would say he was operating at a 6 /10 of his true potential in the fight. Whether he gets the big fight and up his game will be the test, when he is on form I feel he could beat anybody, except Canelo

Just watched the fight. Canelo, tactically superb, just soaked up the jab on the gloves, Kovalev couldn’t throw the big rights due to the counter. What a finish!
Best active fighter on the plant for me, adaptable every time, echo that, world class and a different class
Though the same with Crolla myself, anyway, that’s him done I guess

KT superb
Her movement would put many a man to shame. I thought she was a few levels above her opponent and 5 or 6 proper body shots could have finished it or slowed her down massively. However, that weight is a bit to much for her for me

I’m in two minds to get the Canelo Kovalev fight
Could be a very interesting one, two of my favourite fighters. I expect Canelo to do a master class on the body, he seems weak here since Ward exposed him. However, Kovalev, granite chin and some serious natural power. Two great fighters
Weigh in is up, Canelo looks in great shape as usual. Kovalev, just a great natural fighters body at that weight for me. Should be superb

I was disappointed with Price, as when he came on the scene, was gonna be the next big thing. A reach like that he should be more than a handful for any fighter. I always look at him and he seriously lacks hand speed for me. I watched the fight last night and thought, if he just threw short fast hands Chisora wouldn’t get a glove on him. Just seems far too slow to me, and easy to hit.
Great nights though

Great night of boxing .
Benn looked fantastic very sharp
Okole fight was badly reffed
Burns selby was what i thought it would be a scrap time for burns to quit a great un natural fighter who worked very hard to achieve his titles
Chisora price again the fight i thought it would be chisora stifling him and not letting him box , never have i seen a boxer in a gym that cannot take it into the ring like my old mate pricey , time to quit .
Josh prograis absolutely superb two very different exceptional fighters and an honour to be there to see it , i actually gave it to prograis by a round i will watch it again when im home .
All in all a great couple of days in london apart from the two fat security personel who thought it would be a good idea to try and push us out and swear at us as we were leaving , bet they didnt think the same this morning !

Well, Okolie was ****ing embarrassing. Ref was crap too, should have stopped all the holding
Seiby and Burns, very good fight. Can’t say there’s much for either, Burns end of his career and Selby is deffo no lightweight. Good scrap though, I had it closer than the judges. In the 7th I thought Burns was going to drop him

Canelo fight is next week though not tonight

In reply to Post #875
TBH I was fancying a sneaky bet on him, not checked the odds but I bet they are decent. Two powerful men it could go either way
I expect Chisora to walk it but you never know, especially at this weight
Edit
Big Del to win 2/7
Price to win 3/1
On another note and I don’t want to detract from this great fight night. Canelo is actually fighting Kovalev. As much as I like Canelo this is one seriously dangerous fight for me

If the kid Shabaz Masoud ‘he’s on the show too’ can cope with all the smoke blowing about him then it’s going take someone special to beat him.

Nathan Heaney v Kelcie Ball.
November 30th over 6 rounds on the Frank Warren BT sport show.
Come on Nathan, good luck mate and hopefully you will conquer your latest challenge.
Going be a fantastic night with hundreds following the lad and blasting out Delilah.

Cmon Scott Fitzgerald
Tricky one though Cheeseman
Edit
Ding ding, round 3, good right to the body, left to the head and Cheeseman could easily be out of there
Edit - disappointing fight but styles make em. Looks like Fowler again
|
|
|
|

Shabaz Masoud another exciting fighter from Stoke on Trent. Could well go to the top this kid.
|
|
|

Great exciting news for Nathan.
Will be fighting on the undercard at the Birmingham arena on the Frank Warren BT sports show on 30th November.
Superb Nathan, well happy for you mate and now the hard work starts all over again.
Had a great amateur career where he beat a former world champion in Terry Flanagan so hopefully that’ll be a good yardstick to go by.
I just pray that Nathan can get to where he’d like to be.....
Good luck Nathan.
Edit - Not yet known who his opponent will be but says he’d love a crack at the British title and believes he’s capable of beating the current champion.

For those that may be interested in watching all the boxing action from the kings hall stoke then if you google BCB promotions, go onto their Facebook page then scroll down and click on the link.

Very disciplined performance from Nathan ‘some exciting news will be announced shortly for the next step in his career’ as it needed to be against the big hitting Serge Ambomo.
Enjoy.

Noel is still about , he turned pro to early at 19 when i was still an amateur , he was michael spinks sparring partner , had alot to do with developing bellew , very good fighter but like alot of scousers thought he knew everything and would,nt listen to anyone.

Great fighter Usyk although didn’t Wetherspoon take the fight at short notice?. I will be interested to see where he gets. I was surprised in the Bellew fight though because he did get caught with a few. Saying that on boxing ability he could outbox anybody in that division its just a case of if he can take the power and punishment for me.
Some great eastern block fighters coming through, Bivol is another, seen him a couple of times know, looks like a very good prospect

Fantastic mate, you must be well pleased for him
|

In reply to Post #847
Cheers, will be hoping for a bout on an undercard next to hopefully get some tv coverage.
He was a big muscly lad who he fought but followed his trainers advice of avoiding those big overhand rights as that will tire him out. That then allowed Nathan’s fitness to come into play.
To be honest I don’t really know where his opponent was given 3 rounds as I had it 99.91.
Great performance and now just hope he manages to get what he would like next.
Said that he would like one of Frank Warrens fighters. Also said that if he’s going get a call it’s generally just a couple of weeks after his last fight as Warren believes boxers after there last bout are on wind down. Fortunately Nathan is always in the best shape possible and would relish and be ready should the offer ever be there.
Big plus also I’d that Nathan is selling hundreds of tickets and rising which is a big plus as it helps pay for the venues.
See where it now takes the lad.
Well done Nathan.

Everyone in the know and i mean everyone lost lots of money over pricey , we all bet heavily on him becoming world champ , fury would,nt fight him , he was knocking everyone out in sparring , honestly he was a monster , ive sparred with lots of heavyweights and believe me he is one of the hardest hitters ive come across, unfortunately his chin exposed his weakness none of us knew he had ! He has never been the same fighter since he first got knocked out , its in his mind constantly and everyone goes to knock him out not box him , chisora is a fighter id hate to fight hes not a boxer he is horrible ! In that i mean he will wrestle you close you down get inside basically stop you boxing , Definately the type of fighter pricey should avoid , If pricey catches him he will hurt him but its not a fight im relishing .

In reply to Post #825
That's kind of my guess too, unless the big man can keep him on the end of his jab for 12 rounds but I can't see that happening. Chisora doesn't mind taking a shot to get inside. He can be knocked out himself though. Could well be whoever lands a big shot first wins

Been watching the boxing on Sky, some very good fights
Great entertainer Derevyanchenko. I watched the Jacobs fight which he lost on a split decision, I thought he won it myself, very close one though. If anybody has not seen it, great watch, both are great fighters
Didn’t get the GGG fight but seen the highlights, the old master is back, D down in the first round and GGG gets a points win, must admit D looked pretty beat up at the end of it but that’s GGG for you
Don’t know what to make of GGG tactics unless they were purely for this defence. A more defensive style?
A lot seem to think Derevyanchenko was robbed and GGG got a unanimous decision?
I would be interested to see where he goes next

In reply to Post #811
Cracking fight Jeff, I thought Porter was tactically superb, I also thought Spence really struggled
Can’t make my mind up with Spence, great jab and the timing of his left hand (not this fight, couldn’t get Porter at range) is one of the best I’ve seen, can really pick the punches, just seems to do the basics very, very well?
Can he beat Crawford? I don’t think so?
Can’t help that think Kell Brook would have done him if if hadn’t had the GGG beating of his life!
I’m guessing he has learnt a hell f a lot from that fight. Would like to see another, I think Porter boxed the fight of his life

I was staying in Albuferia Portugal in 87 with some mate's that were flogging time share on the strip that was being developed at the time. We went a club one night and Benn and his mates were in there, off their heads. He was an up and coming contender at the time. I'm not easily intimidated but he was unstable, you could just see it, didn't like him at all, bullying anyone who'd come near him. Loved him as a fighter but not as a man. Suppose that's what makes some fighters.

My dad was a Navy boxing champ he was a boiler man and when he came out he became a scaffolder he was a hard man he was a nasty bastd who would Knock the daylights out of me for the slightest thing
until I was 15 and I came home to find him beating my mum up I hit him over the head with the iron then punched the hell out of him he had he never ever hit me again 7 years later when he passed away it didnt bother me in the slightest

In reply to Post #795
I think the same with a lot of fighters
You know what, I have read loads on all the top fighters, fascinates me, I bet 80% of them have had troubled times and psychological problems. I think that’s the underlying motivation, could be wrong?
I read one book and he said he gave up because “I just wasn’t angry anymore”
I know Benn had a few demons
End up f the day, it’s a sport with a lot of violence albeit they were gloves in the ring, some nasty people around who would happily beat you to near on death
I participated in fighting sports for a few years, and nothing gives as much pleasure as knocking the **** out of each other and shaking hands afterwards, that’s total respect for me, real mans game
Who wants a ****ing fight

Yeah thats him , i was only 15 when i met him , he told me he was going to london to knock the **** out of some southern softie , but 3 days before he had a brawl with doormen in york i think , he did all 4 of them but he got cut above the eye so the fight in london was called off , that southern softie turned out to be lenny mclean !! There was a documentary made about him i think its on you tube , watch it if you get chance , i will have a look for it.

In reply to Post #788
I can remember him jeff, sure he fought a traveling fella and nearly killed him proper bad *******
As for benn he definitely got mixed up with the wrong people, got nicked for glassing a geezer called rolex ray, out of his nut on coke must have payed him off because it all seemed to go away
My mate had a row with paul ince and when he put it on him he went away and came back with benn who was off his rocker and started ranting and raving but luckily enough kept his hands down
Not sure why he’s fighting again, could be money could be he misses it but i dont think its a good idea

That's the one mate, Gardner.
As reputations go, fearsome at the time when fists ruled the streets and not guns. I know he used to do debt collection and "other stuff", wouldn't have fancied him knocking on my door
Sounds like his sons followed in his footsteps too sadly?

In reply to Post #789
That was the british title fight against john l gardner , He still holds the record of fighting for a title with the least number of pro fights 6 i think ? Spent years in prison for various things charles bronson was a mate of his , had 2 sons both in prison for 2 seperate murders ! Got an asbo and had to stay out of wakefield centre , a real character who escaped from a foreign jail and swam across shark infested waters ! Sadly died a alcoholic .

In reply to Post #788
Yeah, I’ve heard of him Jeff, if he was the heavyweight, lot older than me.
He was a bit of a local brawler and knuckler mate, not to be messed with. I remember seeing one of his biggest fights, just turned his back and walked off, ref stopped it, quite a character

In reply to Post #785
Thing is someone somewhere in the world will sanction it somehow. Johnny Nelson has written an article about it saying its for closure rather than aiming for another career. Hopefully neither get hurt if it does go ahead. There's talk of Shannon briggs fighting again too, he's a similar age to Benn. Such a shame these guys can't accept their careers for what they are, both very good but in the past

Benn one of my all time favourites, proper warrior, I had a signed photograph, put it up behind the bar in my local boozer
Why the hell is he fighting SB, I don’t know what he’s like now but I expect him to beat Benn, he has got a bit of pedigree. 55, that’s mental
Massive Benn fan like I say Jeff but Collins whooped his arse big time. Proper machine Collins

My Hero and someone i got to know quite well Nigel benn will be returning to the ring later this year at the age of 55 !! He will be fighting ex world champ sadio bika age 40 , Spent some time with Nigel in tenerife training up mount teide , Never seen a fitter bloke in my life but that was 25 years ago ! He was devastated when steve collins retired him , if he hadnt got mixed up with the infamous essex boys he would have won that fight ! Gotta say what the hell is he doing !The sport is becoming a joke if this goes ahead.

Yes mate they are nasty, cut man did a hell of a job. If anyone can open them up it's wilder for sure. He will need to be so much better than last weekend.
Have you heard what pricey is up to next jeff?

In reply to Post #774
I never like to say never but those cuts are bad , really bad ! Wilder in my opinion will now take all the belts , he is so much better than joshua , much more power and better defence , joshua has no defence very poor ,

In reply to Post #773
The heavyweight division could belong to Wilder soon,as much I would hate that.If AJ loses rematch against Ruiz,Wilder beats Ortiz then Fury he will definitely beat Ruiz to claim all the belts

Let’s hope not, I would love to see another Wilder showdown

In reply to Post #773
Definitely the case for fury, without a doubt he is better against better fighters,and that's purely motivation imo. Be interesting to see how the cuts heal up, and last when they get hit again. Hopefully it's not another case like Ricky hatton when they opened up very regularly

In reply to Post #771
Your comment on BJS is what I am saying about TF, possibly bored and a lack of motivation for the less meaningful fights?
|
|

Nathan be fighting Wilmer Gonzalez on October 12th after his original opponent Josh Groombridge pulled out.
Midlands title not on the line. Nathan would have liked a shot at Tyler Denny ‘failed twice to take the British title’ but he’s out injured and Kelsie Ball wasn’t available.
Nathan would love a crack at the English title,, Jack Flatley ‘edit - not Jack Flatley it’s Jack Cullen and Nathan rates him very highly’ is the champion but may vacate it as he’s got a shot at the commonwealth.
Nathan looking down the line be looking to get on an undercard on a televised show and to be out one more time before end of the year.
When speaking to Nathan he’d love to get a crack sometime at one of warrens fighters.
Keep focused Nathan.

In reply to Post #770
After everything he has been through and come back the way he has I'm surprised you can question his motivation.As for BJS he gets bored so does silly things but he's one hell of a boxer and some of the big names have dodged him for good reason
|

In reply to Post #768
I was shocked at his performance and think he was lucky as I thought that early bad cut would of ended up with a stoppage
and considering his massive reach advantage I was expecting better boxing from him
I think Wallin should of had point taken away for that blatant rub with his glove ?? what a dick
All sorted

Couple of observations, what planet is George Groves on when he said he thought Campbell was winning 😳
Secondly have a look at Jimmy Tibbs during the announcements, never said a word or took his eyes off the opposite corner tough ****er him, any one remember when he was in Barry mcguigans corner when he won the world title, tibbsy stood in the corner with his back to BC pointing at his opponent and practically ordered him to get over there and bash him

Very awkward fighter mate , looks like he has an.ism ! Nothing natural about his movement , certainly would,nt have been worried about facing him in my day.

In reply to Post #759
Can’t understand Fury unless he is a scared fighter, his head movement is crazy, like he’s scared of taking a shot?
Echo that, they share the same surname, defffo not the same skills set unfortunately

In reply to Post #758
He definately felt the pace , in round 9 he was blowing alot thats why he backed off in the tenth , he is beatable as is every other fighter is , to me fury really is a run of the mill fighter that ive seen the likes of since i started training at the age of 7 , he really isnt that good for me ,his defence isnt great his work rate is well below what it should be , just well pretty boring for me , he has nothing about him i like , unlike tyson .

I think so mate with the body, he did hurt him at one point, possibly got countered more though? I thought Luke did very well. I think Loma felt the pace, I was surprised at the end of the10th was it, thought he could have finished it but he just stood off. Brilliant fight though, proper tactical battle
Can’t make my mind up with Fury, it was a dangerous fight to take though for me anyway, that man can bang. I just don’t think he throws enough in all his fights, even if it’s just to get the points. He is getting the experience though

In reply to Post #756
Thats the thing he has beaten who,s about , thats all he can do , Luke is a top fighter watch the fight back he was outclassed , watching the fight look how low he wears his guard if luke had have concentrated on the body he would have had more success,
Fury different kettle of fish , said it first time i saw him domestic level at best and not top of that !
|
|
|

Great performance by LC
Pundits piss me off, don’t get me wrong VL is superb and his movement is something else and I can see why the purists love him. I think he is beatable, I also think that as yet he has not fought any real top class fighters and the disappointing bit there’s not much competition in that division
Fury lost, just does not throw enough punches for me, still only 24
Another great night of boxing

Like Gerry said earlier. Great card tonight
Edit - Gwynne, weighed in with the Next boxers and packed his job in to give it a go, nothing but total respect for the lad, come back and give it another go please, brilliant
Edit - well that’s JB level, low blow that, oh dear. A younger Kovalev would wipe him in 3

Weigh in is up on the tube
Got to laugh, everybody is wearing designer pants lol. Welsh lad steps up with some Next ones on

Couple of pre fight programs on sky tonigbt and the workouts
Looked good VL. But so did Eubank Junior throwing so many punches a minute was it
I think he is beatable myself, not saying Luke Campbell is the man but it could be very close with a bit of luck. TBH I think after his loss Linares is his biggest opponent. He needs to fight some big names for before he claims to be the best ever. Garcia whoops his arse for me and that has got to happen for me

Spot on Chris, definitely needs to turn it into a rough fight on the inside when it gets there. Hes got a decent jab but I'm not sure it's good enough to keep loma at range though. If he uses his height advantage well it's possible, but not likely imo

After a 10 mile run today at 6am Nathan finished with a session in Mendez boxing gym just off Madison square.
Good luck Nathan, hope you get to the top.

In reply to Post #734
I hope he is right
If Linares is the benchmark he could be right, VL was seriously marked up after that fight.
Blueprint is out there for me, a washed up Salido bet him, just ruffed him up and worked the body, he does not like it, I’ve seen that in a couple of fights.
For me if LC is gonna win he’s keeps him on the jab, in and out like his usual style, hits him hard on the way in and ruffs the **** up on the inside, head elbows, body, got to get hold of him, that’s the only way I can see him winning if I’m honest

Great fight, Kovalev immense as I suspected. Good 8th round for Yarde as Kovalev looked to tire and take a rest but what a fight in the end
Impressed with Kovalev, great fighter, great jab, great power and proper boxers frame, lean and mean. Showed great stamina, he was blowing against Ward after 5 rounds but he had took the body shots. Caught in the 8th but a world champions comeback. Nice left that put Yarde out

well Yarde almost had him in the 8th round but he was outboxed in the 7 previous rounds and never IMO kept his hands up and just eat Kovalev ramrod jabs ? instead of on his gloves
then got stopped in the 11th

In reply to Post #717
Yep, yarde is his mandatory. Too soon for yarde imo. The canelo thing has been rumbling on for a little while now, they see kovalev is slipping so see an opportunity. Expect that to be a box and run kind of fight if it ever happens, if canelo wins he vacates immediately anyway

I hope your right mate
I see Kovalev is fighting Yardie, that should be interesting, nasty man Kovalev, albeit he has peaked. Then I saw on the news about a fight between him and Canelo WTF is all that about, Canelo at light heavy
I would love to see Kovalev vs. GGG

In reply to Post #715
I would love fury to knock wilder clean out chris, but I can't see it happening. Fury doesn't have that kind of ko power. Wide points decision would be my guess. He will come back sharper, and in better shape than the last one and he only really made 2 mistakes that whole fight, I reckon he will stay on his feet for 12 this time, and if that happens there's no way wilder can beat him imo.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #714
I don't know, I still think the Fury rematch could be a 50/50. I expect Fury to box his head off but Wilder still has the dynamite, one wrong move and it could be all over. I hope Fury lays him out
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #713
Yes mate he's trimmed down, quite a bit by the look of it. Should help his movement making him harder to hit. Added movement and stamina and he beats ruiz imo. Wilder, that's a lottery for me. They can both be hit, they both bang, so potentially could go either way. Agree on fury though, he's such a skilled boxer I dont see anyone beating him tbh. I did wonder how he'd do once he had a bomb land on his chin but the wilder fight showed his power of recovery is incredible. I think the only one with the skill to trouble him would be usyk, but the lack of size would be a major problem against fury I think. He will need to get close to land and I can't see fury letting that happen too often
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #712
I haven’t mate, no.
It’s an interesting one for me because to get pass Ruiz somehow I think he has to reinvent himself. I have been critical of him for a long time, not because I don’t like the lad, but because I could see what was going to happen, he is far to easy to hit and he struggles to take a punch, he seriously lacks movement, especially lateral to slip, move and reposition himself so he has serious limitations for me.
To be fair if like you say he is more lean and athletic let’s hope this is what they are working on, a no brainier for me, tells me they have to, it’s just if he can adopt his style and that is going to be tricky imho
If he can that would be brilliant and he deserves all the credit he gets. For me Mr Hearn has been selling everybody a dummy (in the lightest sense) for a long time $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Seriously, you think Ruiz battered him, Wilder would kill him
Fury will humiliate him and make him look a proper dummy if they ever meet

Have you seen aj lately Chris? He's actually looking like a boxer not a bodybuilder. Come down in weight, (quite a bit by the look if it). Think he's realised sheer power isn't enough, you need cardio. Ruiz I expect to come in in better shape too so it makes for an interesting one
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #710
Seen it mate. Can that be a good decision
TBH I can’t see how Joshua can beat him, Ruiz absolutely battered him last time out, I expect much of the same. It either who’s got the biggest hammer and it ends early or Joshua tries to hold him on the jab and I just can see that happening myself

Spot on Jeff. Hughie domestic level for sure, maybe able to get up to European level but that about it. He's way too passive. Khan, he's been deluded for years imo. On his night he's decent enough, and looks world class against average fighters, but step up to world level and he comes unstuck more often than not
|
|
|
|

Absolute rubbish, reminded me of the old boxing booths from the 60s that my dad used to fight in, hughie fury is only a domestic level fighter at his best, if khan rates that a great win he is more deluded than i thought he was , fights like these 2 make a mockery of the sport.

Close rounds but Nathan was given it by 2 rounds. Not biased or anything but it was deserved.
Toe to toe stuff at times.
Just popped round with his belt, spoke with him for a while and hes a little mad with himself for taking the shots that he did because he got away at times from his boxing skills. His trainer told him to start boxing again and that’s what he then did.
He knew that after his original opponent Ryan Aston had pulled out that Tom Stokes was always going to be a tougher opponent and so it proved.
In the latter rounds of the fight his extra fitness told, mind you though must help that he teaches nutrition etc etc at college.
Hoping to get a tv slot with a shot at the British title in October against ‘did say his name but it escapes me’. Says the lad in question is a real tough nut and he knows it’ll be a tough one and will need to be on his game. Says he’s fought him before and feels he’s capable of beating him.
No doubt no easy contests from here on in.
He can now properly grieve after losing his dad suddenly the day before he was informed he’ll be fighting for the midlands title. Threw himself into preparation for that fight and I think he can now only improve after he’s gone through the grieving process.
Unsure if it was yourself who said that Tom Stokes was a tough lad and if it was then so it proved.
Edit - No doubt it be on YouTube soon.
Just a shameless plug for on the box a boxing show which Nathan’s best mate Dan Hewitt hosts in which he’s built up a decent show and who’ll be ringside commentating on world title fight in a couple of weeks.
Luke Caci was also on the bill last night too a stablemate of Nathan’s ‘different weight division’ whose got a promising future ahead of him.
Edit - not fought him as such but sparred with him.

He took the fight cause it was easy money and he is regaining his fitness, just as joshua did but came unstuck , ive sparred with fury on many occasions over the years he looks awkward and cumbersome , he can move for a bloke his size if he gets fully fit there is not one heavyweight about at the moment that will beat him.

I have always rated Fury from day one when I saw he was a thinking boxer that could switch seamlessly from one hand to the other he has a natural thinkimg boxers brain
ok so his opponent was not up to much but Furys speed and timing was bang on
watched the Warrington fight again and I think it should of been a draw
|
|
|
|
I though KG would beat him before the fight, far superior boxing skills imho. Should have been a draw and a rematch
Fury superb, get another win under the belt, Wilder soon or the other 3 belt holder I hope

As you would expect him to against an opponent ranked 59 in the world. Still don't understand why he took that fight tbh

Agree on Gallahad, one judge had Warrington 4 rounds ahead
Not top competition for Fury obviously but despatched him quickly and in style exactly how he should have done, been a while since i have seen a fighters face bashed up so badly so quickly.

Oh dear , galahad clearly won that fight , even worse decision than the kt result !! Well done fury .

In reply to Post #626
Was thinking the same myself. Bring back Abel Sanchez, quick!
Ring rust I’m sure, but GGG and the jab, na, was not effective
Soon has he turned the power on, job done. Don’t know if it’s the time out, trying a different style or he’s over the hill but he did not look convincing at super middle for me. I thought this would be the perfect weight for him. I would like to see him fight Callum Smith myself
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #625
Yeah he's been out, but can you really say that was anything like the ggg of old? Nowhere near imo, he can take a shot well, but he took way more than he used to and at his age I'm jot sure those reflexes will return

Ryan Aston pulled out of the midlands title fight against Nathan Heaney and in steps a lad name Tom Stokes.

That in the ear hole was what did it for AJ.
You don’t use up all the squirt in your tank early on against a barrel with a 2” neck, because he isn’t going down easy and you’re suddenly odds on getting ironed out.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #609
Wilder was offered a 76 million 3 fight deal, 2 of which would be against aj. If he knows he wins both easily, why didn't he take it? It makes no sense.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #608
Imagine one of those in the floating rib
That was his game plan, counter and get inside, he had to do, he’s the smaller fighter. I’ve never really seen anybody test Joshua’s body before, he looked very uncomfortable with it, I can see why
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #607
I don’t think there is a decent heavyweight weight out there who wouldn’t want to fight AJ and that’s not before the defeat, he touchable, they can see it.
I’m positive in saying both Wilder and Fury know they can beat him, make of that what you like. If they really wanted them Hearn could arrange it. So why haven’t they? Because he would lose
If he proved me wrong I would be chuffed to bits, I’m certainly not a Wilder fan but you have to respect the mans devastating power, I could just imagine Joshua in the ring against him, here it comes....

In reply to Post #606
They made an offer to wilder. He turned it down. How is that ducking? Fury "I want to beat aj", then fights number 59 in the world. They aren't exactly doing their bit to make the fights are they? I don't understand how you are so certain when you can't possibly know for sure? Politics are politics, and they all seem like they could be to blame to me?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #603
All I’m saying is boxing politics. And Hearn has protected him, which fair enough he has to get experience but he should have stepped up to the test a while ago for me and prove that he’s a “great”, the real deal. The way how things have turned out now I can’t see any more ducking and diving, thankfully, if he retains the belts who will he fight next, got to be one of the two for me unless they hang on until Wilder hangs the gloves up

In reply to Post #602
Chris I've not said he's not beatable, or better than them what I'm saying is why do you say he's ducking others when you don't know either way?! He's got flaws, as have they all. Fact is the others have gone other directions of their own accord, if they were that confident of beating him why wouldn't they sign up? After all he is the big money fight, that you can't deny! Ruiz did a number yeah, but that number started off the back of a joshua mistake. Aj seems to have very little power of recovery, and that will always show against a pressure fighter like ruiz.
Still can't believe you gave Taylor the w either... 😂
Just seen the rematch clause has been triggered, hearn is saying Nov or Dec in cardiff
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #601
Without sounding like a complete knob, i have boxed myself and sparred hundreds of rounds, more, and watched hundreds of fights so I’m quite confident in saying AJ has a lot of flaws, I can see them, his defence is terrible which makes him easy to hit, he has been close to been sparked several times. His movement is very poor which leaves him static at times, which again only makes this problem even worse and he cannot take a punch.
Rob McCracken can only work with what he has got. Lots of muscle, use the range and put them on the jab, Ruiz just slipped him and put it on him
I’m not a hater, I post what I belive, if you read through this thread or others I have posted my thoughts all the way through, and without sounding like a **** I knew he was not the real deal, I did not get caught up in the hype, Hearn has just manipulated him and the public.
Now if your telling me he stands a chance against Fury or Wilder that I find hard to belive but like I’ve posted before, time will tell. Wilder sparks him and Fury makes him look a proper dope
I had him as the 3rd best in the world until Ruiz did a job on him
You will see
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #600
Yeah ruiz had him down, but not until he'd been caught rushing in for the finish. He wasn't right either, something else was up for sure. Why else would his old man be ranting at Eddie hearn in the ring straight afterwards? Did you hear him between rounds? Asking why he felt that way (before he'd even been tagged). There's definitely more to it than we know. You keep saying he's ducking, but how do you know that? You don't! It could be the others ducking him, nobody knows except themselves. We can all speculate, but nobody knows either way. Fact is wilder was made an offer and turned it down and now has his next couple of fights lined up so obviously he's not overly interested in fighting aj. Equally, fury had the rematch with wilder there, chance to regain a belt (which I think he does), but no, he signs to fight the number 59 ranked hw in the world. Very ambitious...
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #599
Mmmmmm, not sure about the win, Ruiz had him down four times not once, got his number, some big changes required for AJ but we will see
The good news is if he does win there can be no ducking and diving now, it’s Wilder or Fury and that I can’t wait to see
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #598
Yeah definitely, it's already in the existing contract so it's all but a done deal. Only way it doesn't happen is if aj doesn't take it and I can't see that happening. He knows he has to take it, and win in style to get some credibility back (which I expect him to do).

In reply to Post #597
The rematch will happen, certain belts or not
Otherwise AJ is back on the ladder
|

In reply to Post #594
He will rematch aj definitely, clause in the contract, plus where else will he get anywhere near that kind of money? He may end up stripped of one of the titles before hand but I still expect him to accept that rather than take a mandatory. He loses the mandatory then his huge payday has gone without doubt. I bet the wheels are already in motion arranging it
He gets a couple of hundred k to fight anyone else, a few mill to rematch aj. My bet is Cardiff around November time

If its AJ ruiz he's talking about Gerry then its in the contract AJ has 30 days to respond. I know the WBO belt has a mandatory due september which trumps any rematch clause. Dyllian is number 1 for that mandatory so who knows. Bloody exciting though !

In reply to Post #592
That's just it Chris, fury has caught many a fighter clean and not rocked them at all. He just doesn't have the power of a man his size. You are very much in the minority regarding kt, she landed some quality shots but never had her opponent in any kind of trouble whereas it looked like she could have been stopped on a couple of occasions, and looked shell-shocked many other times
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #591
Fury is a boxer, not a banger I’m quite sure he could lay most people out when the opportunity arises been near on 20 stone lol
Interesting people thoughts on KT, I thought her opponent was just trying to walk here down and suffered counter after counter after counter, 4 or 5 shots at a time, ah well she got the win and deserved it for me
Interested to see what happens next between Ruiz and Joshua
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #590
Absolutely jeff, fury is technically the best hw out there by a long way. If he carried more power then he'd be unbeatable imo, but that lack of the big shot means his opponent has 36 minutes to catch him. Just look at the wilder fight, really only made 2 mistakes and ended up sat on his ass both times. He keeps his concentration, he wins against all of them, but he gets tagged then it could be a different story.
Katie really didn't have a good night, and tbh I don't think it was her being off but her opponent being too physically strong, and not having the already beaten mentality some of her previous opponents have.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #589
Thats the first time katie gas been hurt and she didnt like it one bit , she certainly wasnt close to winning that , disgusting scorecards ! She will not relish that rematch .Have said it since first saw joshua as an amateur when pricey put him down sparring , awful defence too slow and one dimensional, fury so much better technically , smith a great fighter in a cracking division.
|
|
|
|
That's heavyweight boxing for you, one shot can change the tide massively. Seems to take aj way too long to recover. He was looking to take ruiz out and got caught. Always a risk in his fights. Rematch will be a stadium over here, November time, and he will regain his belts, and will still be the cash cow of the division. He was always vulnerable, this just proved how much.
Smith, great performance although an obvious outcome
Taylor, she wasn't even close to winning that fight. She was outmuscled and out scored throughout and benefitted from some of the worst scorecards for a long time. Says a lot when the British pundits were giving her a couple of rounds max. That has to be a rematch and I'd be surprised if one of the governing bodies didn't order it

It’s got to happen, he has no other easy choices, Ruiz and his belts back, which I agree, I can’t see him winning on that performance or Ruiz makes a defence and loses to Wilder or Fury then he has to fight one of them if he is still serious
Ruiz vs. Whyte would be nice, DW, four belt world champ lol. They will be queuing up for it. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Needs to get Hearn as his manager he might hold the titles for a few years too

Will do mate.
Dan doesn’t box anymore. He’s now got his own boxing show called ‘on the box’. This be his third time commentating ringside in the states.
His best mate ‘and one of mine too’ Nathan Heaney is 7.0 in his pro career and in June will be fighting for the vacant midlands middleweight title against a lad name Ryan Aston from Wolverhampton at the kings hall Stoke on Trent. Be a cracking atmosphere as he’s expected bring a following.
Hopefully Nathan will take that title ‘relinquish it like Tyler Denny’ did and try go onto bigger and better things. Nathan’s lad fight was an 8 rounder against a lad who had been in the ring with a former world champion Goldolov ‘think that’s spelt right’ and took every round.
Unfortunately Nathan’s dad died suddenly shortly afterwards and I hope he can take his passing as a motivation to his father who adored him and put him on the road in boxing as he used to box too and at one time trained him.
Some right good talent in the Orme boxing club coming through at the mo. Steve Woodbine is Nathan’s trainer and Nathan thinks the world of him.
Anyway, a little off track but it’d be amazing if the day ever arrived where Dan was commentating a Heaney fight.,,,,Stranger things have happened I guess.

One of my old mates who used to box did exactly the same to a bouncer who was telling him in no uncertain terms to drink up.......

In reply to Post #534
Hearns and Hagler, what a fight that was
Chisora made me laugh a while ago with the red baseball “WAR” cap on Haglar style
As for JF, great warrior. The thing that impressed me the most was he was was hanging around the 10 stone mark and he sparked an 18 stone bouncer out in the USA, awesome lol
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #533
Same here mate, fantastic era was that.
Edit - Thomas Hearns was my favourite.
Also back in the day what a fight Azuma Nelson v Jeff Fenech was and as the commentator said ‘you could put these two in a phonebox’ such was toe to toe stuff.

In reply to Post #532
Mayweather, different class imho
Duran gave him the beating of his life first time around. There were 3 other good fighters in that era, Hearns, Hagler and Duran which made it a bit of a golden era for me
|
|
|
|
Leonard v Mayweather is it happening and who wins if so?.
Edit - sorry, just quickly seen a piece which appears to be ‘hypothetical’ who would win.
Leonard must be touching 60 now surely.

To be fair Gerry his fight against Lemur I thought was absolutely superb, true Ingle style, Lemur couldn’t get a glove on him, boxed his head off
I don’t understand why, I though he had it cracked, he looked unbeatable or at least deserved a Canelo or GGG test
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #529
yes wonder what he is going to be like ?
since splitting with Ingle and training under Ben Davison and going up in weight as you say he was a bit of a plonker with the junkie woman that cost him a shed load of money in a fine

In reply to Post #519
Yeah I can't see wilder or fury being around much longer, wilder has been very close to being beaten a few times over the last couple of years, fury sounds like he's losing interest again. Agree about canelo, although I had ggg winning the first. Crazy to think he had something like 20 Pro fights before he turned 19
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #518
Boxing politics, who knows mate, frustrating as a fan as mentioned.
I can’t see Wilder and Fury fighting again either. I think Wilder will retire soon sadly. Can’t say I’m a fan but he has got Dynamite in that right hand and can change any fight at anytime
As for Joshua, I’m sure he can string out another 10 bum fights before he takes a real step forward. How long do we have to wait ffs. Beyond boring now, he is becoming a plastic champion
Wilder and Joshua, it’s that simple, chance for either man to unify the belts and the division, you can argue their quality but it is the stuff of legend. it has to happen
Then i look at Canelo who had two proper wars with GGG and his latest outing against Jacobs, 51 professional fights, that is something VERY special for me, much more special than any of these heavyweight bums can ever deliver
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #517
100% mate, but he should have been given his shot before now. Seems like maybe the wbc are doing their best to stop whyte getting at wilder for some reason. Just can't see how he hasn't been mandatory before now, and they know he ain't beating fury.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #516
So disappointing as a fight fan, just make them happen, everybody wants to see them
Whyte will get his head boxed off if he fights Fury and sparked if he fights Wilder, the best option for a title is AJ imho
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #515
That's just it, the wbc are the worst! Whyte has been number 1 contender on the wbc for nearly 600 days now and he's still not been made mandatory for wilder. Somehow they made brezeale mandatory even though he was below whyte. Waiting nearly 2 years and still not being named mandatory is a massive piss take
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #514
Time will tell mate
The WBC are good for making mandatory defences
Shame the IBF, WBA and WBO are not and make that bum Joshua have some real fights, ****

In reply to Post #513
No you are right, it was martinez that rematch Ed and beat salido. My mistake.
He won't be beaten by anyone lower than welterweight, that I garauntee. He's just too slick.
Back to the big lads, I see the wbc have just ordered whyte v fury
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #512
He has fought nobody outstanding as yet
And fights do come into it BIG time, different styles to contend with and as the levels rise so does the quality of the opposition!
He is beatable, you heard it from me first
And he did not fight Salido again
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #511
He lost against a world champion in his second pro fight(and the n avenged the loss) Yeah he probably stayed amateur too long so may never get the 30-40 fights many do, but does that really tarnish his record? Nah. If he'd have won a single world title and that's it then I might agree with you to a point, but a 3 weight champ, who will be unified after his next fight in only 13fights or whatever it is has to be up there with the best imo. Nobody has even looked close to beating him since that loss, and can't see who will have a chance really unless he moves up weight classes too quickly
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #510
And he lost to a fighter well passed his best, nuff said for me
After Spence, was not exactly a draining fight for him. Time will tell, it has to happen
If he had the numbers game (40 plus pro fights) and fought some good fighters and had the wins he would be a hall of famer, one of the greats for me, he has not had the fights and never will be, he will always be a could have been in my eyes
A boxing purists press boy dream
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #509
Yeah he's had very few fights, but he's a 3weight world champ already so he can't be that bad... Garcia? No way on earth mate, he won't be the same fighter again after spence, Mark my words..

Just watched the weigh in, both fighters look in great shape, immense really
No fat blobs here
Hearn says Canelo looks rattled, I think Jacobs ribs are going to get a good rattling, should be a great fight this, can’t wait, both very tough men too
Let’s get ready to Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuumble

Crawford? Don't you mean Jacobs gerry? He's got a better chance than most of beating canelo, but still think he will come up short and lose a fairly close decision

In reply to Post #491
Yes your right mate
but AJ is really so pumped up to make himself look good for his first USA match and just hope it works out well for him and he is not reckless and gets caught
what do you think about Jacobs chances Sunday morning
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #491
I'm sure he could knock me out with the wind off his gloves but at world title level, another bum fight
Still if he's in there, he has the potential to spark AJ, as anybody has

In reply to Post #490
Gerry take it from me he is no title contender or shouldnt be ! A boxer who never looks fit in my opinion.

and I think AJ`s new opponent Ruiz is more dangerous than Miller would have been apparently he has fast hands and must be very hungry huge opportunity for him

Fight of the year this weekend for me Canelo vs.Jacobs
Very tough fight on paper but I expect Canelo to smoke him
If he does not, that’s something else

Local lad Steve Brogan is fighting sat may 25 in manchester undercard to hiughie fury ,live on channel 5 , steve,s 35 now but has only had 16 pro fights winning 14 drawing 1 and 1 loss , will be a good night of boxing.

Midlands title shot next fight for Nathan.
Tyler Denny vacated the midlands title in an attempt to go onto bigger and better things. Therefore Nathan be fighting Ryan Aston at the kings hall Stoke on Trent on 21st June 2019.
Hopefully Nathan can take that title then he himself can attempt to go onto better things too.

There’s a reason Hearn gets booed at fights, the fans know he’s in it primarily for his on gains, he try’s to pillock the boxing nation but the fans know. Looks after his earners £, cash flow...
Good though when your there in the post fight interviews and the booing starts, quite funny really
Facts are nobody is bigger than the belts imho and they should announce mandatory defences now and again, that would sort it out
Your fighting bums again, you need to fight Mr X before X date or you loose the belt, simple for me. Takes Hearn and all the others con men out of it, just arrange the fight
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #481
Oh definitely ruiz is a bit of a last resort, thing is who else is there that would have stepped in at that short notice and would be more competitive? Hunter I don't reckon would have faired any better than ruiz will, Parker ortiz both too short notice, whyte possibly but what would the draw be in America?, most of the other possible candidates are already scheduled to fight elsewhere, or he's already beaten them. I know I won't bother watching this one if it is confirmed as ruiz
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #480
Yeah they probably all as bad but hearn has the world champ , he calls the shots ! Ruiz looked fat and unfit in his last fight, and should not pose a threat at all , I hope he finds that lucky punch to stop hearn and joshua in their tracks.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #479
Is it just hearn though jeff? From what I've read all the managers/promoters/money men are doing their but to **** it right up.
|
|
|
|
|
Im afraid the heavyweight division is becoming a joke , struggling to find an opponent for a world title fight ! Its crazy , hearn cant keep putting joshua together with no hopers , whoever he faces next has got 4 weeks to prepare , Hearn is an absolute disgrace and is turning the sport into a circus.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #477
It is mate, very disappointing. I fully believe its not the men themselves but the promoters who are making a cock up of the scene at the minute. I know it was ortiz manager who ducked the aj fight, and ortiz and his trainer aren't happy about it at all. Would have been a nice payday for him at the end of his career, he knows he won't get that kind of money against anyone else
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #476
Agree
As a fan, extremely disappointing if I’m honest
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #475
He might get a reasonable fight against those 2, but expect him to ko either by around the mid way point tbh. Ruiz is quite ponderous and easy to hit, hunter is a blown up cruiser with decent speed but not much power. Don't think ortiz would have anything for him these days either, he's definitely on the decline and quite quickly too by the look of it. Looks like Beyonce wilder has his next 2-3 fights planned already, and fury has taken a huge backwards step with his next opponent so not sure wtf is going on there. Just when there looked to be all sorts of decent big fights just round the corner it all seems to have got to a **** show and they are going their separate ways.

Well let’s hope he has a real fight next time out

Joyce ain't getting that, Parker has turned it down already. Either hunter or Andy ruiz are the frontrunners, should be announced by Wednesday this week apparently
|

Agree, if.
The only chance Allen has is to put it on him
I see Ortiz turned down Joshua
I read Joshua’s potential next opponent could be American Michael Hunter, unbeaten Brit Joe Joyce or a rematch with Joseph Parker

In reply to Post #461
As much as I like Price I can't see another fight for him???
Allen is not world class and would struggle for a good British recognition imho but that could be a dangerous fight for Price. His defence is shocking when somebody puts it on him. Same as Allen and his movement and stamina etc. Allen seriously lacking here at a decent level
It might be the ideal fight for.both of them because I can't see either going much further sadly

I guessed it was something like that jeff, as Allen is saying it doesn't look like it will happen. It would be nice for him to retire with a w against a big named opponent, not sure who he would call a big fight though tbh. The top end of the division looks pretty tied up, and can't see anyone giving pricey a shot either because he can bang
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #460
He is looking for a big fight Ian , He looks at the allen fight as a nothing fight as he put it , if he wins he gains nothing if he loses thats really the end ! It might happen but they are trying hard to get him a big name, He knows his time is running out ,should know for sure soon, He has no plans to retire like ive told him he should !

Chisora - fight diabolical
Allen fight - more like a street fight throwing haymakers hoping they will connect , crushing body shot ,against an opponent who was extremely slow lethargic and stood square on coming forward !allen is gutsy but against a decent boxer would get caught too easily
Khan - exactly what i expected up on his toes until he knew he couldnt win.

everyone seems agreed that Khan will be knocked out
but I remember him fighting Marcos Maidana who tagged him with plenty of bombs I just checked and was shocked when I realised it was 2010 !!! **** me time flys lol
there is a possibility he could outbox Crawford and a points win I dont bet but might be worth a tenner on it

In reply to Post #442
To be fair he is a very good boxer, world champion level, just can’t take the punches.
I watched him through the ranks on the a few concrete promotions evenings, gangly kid, always looked two weights above his opponents from a boxing perspective, fast hands, long reach, tricky to get a glove on
From a racial perspective, biggest racist ****s about him and his entourage. Paskistani flags waving, like to see the white kid been beaten. Union Jack shorts and a green and white gum shield, trust me, not nice to see if I’m honest, disgraceful. That’s why I don’t like the ****

I reckon khan wins the first 2-3 rounds, Crawford gets him timing worked out and then gets a stoppage around 9-10. Khan can be tricky, but doesn't have the power to bother Crawford imo, and Crawford can punch and we all know khan can be hurt

Potential good fight next week. Dave Allen vs. Lucas Browne, there will be a KO
I like Dave Allen, proper hard lad, always a bit short for me and feel he could be a lot better, let’s hope he is
Wilder and Joshua outings soon. Joshua in the USA, promotion for a Fury showdown?, I hope so

Around £250,000 I had seen, $300,000 ???
Your right though, deserved the payout for me. Linares boxed Crolla’s head off and he had previously then lost to Lomacenko so you could guess where this was going. Linares took the belt off Crolla, lomachenko then took it of him
|
|
|
|
|
Crolla is a game kid but was never going to be world class, got what he deserved for his effort a big pay day. Time to hang up the gloves I’d say, out of interest what sort of money would he have got for the fight ?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #408
Crolla got his dream for me, the big fight. The truth is he is not at the same level even prior to the fight we knew that. And if we are talking TOP level fighters he’s not up there and never has been
Lomachenko, great fighter but a lot of hype for me too because he has not exactly fought the greats or any real names. He’s 31, with a 13 win, 1 loss and 0 draws and his loss was against a Salido who was at the end of his career, shadow of himself, and did a job on him.
He needs some real big fights to put his name down in history and at 31, near the end of his career, with 14 professional fights he’s never gonna get there for me if we’re talking “greats”
Garcia is the fight for me. And to be honest I was disappointed against his performance agains Errol the boring truth Spence who put him on the end of the jab all night. That should be a good test

Hope he does well , his dad was a half decent fighter and coach, he had extremely bad luck and lucky to be alive.

No doubt he will but what stands him in good stead is that he’s always been very fit whose always looked after his body.
He knows the craic regards pacing himself as he had over 90 fights as an amateur.

I guarantee he will get tired when he steps up the rounds and faces better opponents , you have to be a different fighter when fights get longer, good luck to him hope he does well.

Nathan’s best mate Dan Hewitt hosts a boxing show called ‘boxing tv’ from his own home which reaches out to over 2 million viewers,
When asking Nathan ‘why your power has improved so much recently’ his response was ‘because I am letting it go without thinking of the consequences of getting tired, because I now don’t get tired at all. I have now fully matured and feel naturally strong.
I’ve told him to do all that he can within himself, be the best he can as that way you can have no regrets thinking I wish I’d done this better or that better.
Lightning quick, posesses that knock out punch and his body punches have brought a few to their knees.

No mate not televised. It’s at the kings hall in his/my home town of Stoke on Trent.
Stepping up to 8 rounds in prep for having a go for the midlands title.
Had a great career as an amateur beating Terry Flanagan who went on become a world champion.
Enjoying the ride mate and love following him too.

Aj really doesn't like Miller does he?!
Crolla seems a really nice guy, and has such self belief. But loma is silly good, a freak really. Can't see him being beaten by anyone, he's quite like ffloyd in that he doesn't really get hit, and you can't beat a man you can't hit

You have to laugh, respect to the man the deal he got blows all other heavyweights out of the water lol and thats without one of the 4 main belts

Absolutely looking for a way out gerry. He should have just not come out for the round if he wanted out. Calling pricey a quitter all week so I guess he figured he couldn't just quit himself, but this is worse

A case of punching above his weight there, garcia looked sluggish, and a bit soft around the middle. Just doesn't have the frame to step up that far imo. Spence did look bloody good though, definitely the man to beat in the division
|
|
|

In reply to Post #352
Right there mate, surprised me really
To be fair, couldn’t handle the reach, Spence just had him on the jab all night. Think he was looking for a a bit of a tear up and just couldn’t get inside

The most amazing thing is, Fury and BJS, it makes you wonder how good they could have REALLY been if they weren’t a pair of slack ****ing travellers
Only ONE fight I’m looking forward to so far this year,Garcia vs. Spence
Massive Garcia fan myself, brilliant fighter and a real step up in weight, I hope he flattens Spence
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #335
Thats true lol, problem with fury is he's so unpredictable he could sign to fight for a world title next, equally could retire and express his hatred for boxing. You never know wtf is going on in his head... I'm not sure who he could actually fight next as wilder is off. He can't take a massive backwards step, but won't want to risk rematch money. The lads on the verge of a title shot, I can't see them wanting to fight fury, anyone lower down the rankings is just seen as a huge step down. Certainly an odd situation
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #334
I agree mate.
Wilder for me is rubbish, one big hammer and that’s it
A young Mike Tyson would have had him out of there in 1 minute and 1 second if he was lucky
I bet Fury is pissing himself laughing really, he’s not holding any of the 4 belts but ultimately now he’s calling the shots lol
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #333
Like I've said before mate I'm a fan of all the British lads. Yeah I agree wlad was past his best when he fought aj, but the same could be said for when he fought fury imo. Wilder is the only other real name he has fought (genuine heavyweight anyway), wilder has ortiz who should have had him out of there, and probably would a couple of years earlier. The thing is the heavyweight division has been quite sparse in the past few years, and is only really getting back up there again now so needs a few fights between the top few lads to really see who's the man. I do think aj could beat either of those 2, but do agree either could also beat him. Until they fight we will never know for sure. Shame there is so much political nonsense in boxing imo. I reckon the promoters are more the problem than the fighters themselves. They have all had some dangerous fights they haven't really needed, they have to to keep the public interested. Fury dropping out of the rematch has actually slowed it down imo, its opened the door for breazeale, and whyte could be the man who loses out most because of it. Breazeale to fight wilder, leaving whyte to either fight fury (and likely lose) or fight a lower tier fighter once again

In reply to Post #328
Your clearly a fan Ian.
I work on respect and he has not fought anybody, we are talking a 3 belt champion here, can’t even talk about Vlad in the same breath as Fury, he was seriously over the hill when he fought Joshua, few years ago he would have had him out of there easily, any boxing purist knows it
When your the man, your the man, you step up to the plate and fight the best
As far as I’m concered Joshua is a fake. I hope he proves me wrong
I know he can’t though
You can hold me to my words though because both Fury and Wilder beat him, unless he stalls them till there 50

In reply to Post #324
This may turn out good allround
I think Fury’s latest deal has put everybody in a back seat position. What he did was amazing to come back and fight like that, another fight would possibly be perfect preparation for the rematch
In the meantime if Joshua gets through that bum Miller, who has a knockout chance it could mean Wilder would meet Joshua, can’t keep ducking and diving the real big fights forever
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #323
And a very odd reason given. Fury wants another fight first to raise his u.s profile. I'd have thought fighting their heavyweight champion would be about as profile raising as it gets in the USA...

Wtf was that all about? Didn't expect it to be great but damn that was bad. How on earth do that many shots get thrown and yet barely any land clean? Utter shambles from both. Degale to retire, eubank to fight someone decent, get beat, then retire would be my guess

I ve never had anytime for eubank jr , he was never allowed to be himself as his dad was to overbearing , think its because i grew up in the shadow of my dad albeit at a totally different level of course, de gale is frustrating he had everything to be one of the greats ,however his lifestyle lets him down , ive been in tenerife quite a number of times when hes been there and seen him doing crazy things , the pair of them have nowhere to go if they lose, i would like to see de gale win .However one thing to worry for de gale eubank jr for the first time has a world class trainer ,will it make a difference you bet it will.
|
|
|
|
I hope Eubank gets stopped
It could be a very close fight for me. All depends on Gale, he matched Badu Jack and he kicks Eubanks arse for me. The blueprint is there, just box him like Groves did.
I hope DeGale wins, I think Eubank is a complete ****

I think eubank will stop degale
I think degale is fading away and well past his best unfortunately.. I would love to be wrong tho but think eubank will put to much pressure on him, while degale is on the ropes he likes to take a rest but can't see that ending well 👍
Degale needs to be on his toes and box clever to win on decision
Be a interesting match up 🥊
Eubank to open him up 😂

My pal squared up to him in a hotel in Brighton when he tried to chat up his missus he apologised and told him all about the Michael Watson fight.
He basically said he knew he was getting beat and asked Watson to ease up which he wouldn’t do and the rest is history.
Good job he backed off with my pal or he would be down a hole now 😉

His dad was a legend and like you say he quite clearly has the ability to be great but I was watching his dads interview he did last week where he says he would have like Shane mugian as his coach and the Ronnie said the same but he hasn’t gone down that route which is interesting as his dad and Ronnie didn’t want that coach he has should be an interesting fight as Eubanks has got more to lose if he loses degale just gonna lose a lot of pride he achieved a lot in boxing it a must win fight for eubank but when he has stepped up he loses anemia gets found out my money on degale 👍

His old man is a bit of a sporting hero of mine
I think eubank has the ability now has a training camp set up (unlike previous fights) so if hes listening i expect him to beat degale. Hes just signed a 3 fight deal with PBC so i think a few are expecting he's turned a bit of a corner.
|
|
|
|
What’s your views on degale Eubank,I think it could be a great fight non of them are going to want to lose just hope degale schools him just because I don’t like Eubanks arrogance no respect for a trainer and people for that matter least his dad had abit of class about him,should be a war hopefully degale has got anuff left in the tank degale points for me

Fury is only heavyweight I think around at the moment that beats Joshua.Im no AJ fan but there must be some reason wilder did more running than Mo Farah and had more excuses than a politician to not fight him.I think he only took the Fury fight as he thought he would be rusty and an easier fight

The WBC has ordered a fight between Britain's Dillian Whyte and Dominic Breazeale to determine the mandatory challenger for Deontay Wilder's heavyweight title belt.
American Wilder is expected to face Tyson Fury in a rematch of December's controversial draw in Los Angeles.
Whyte had also been linked with a fight against four-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Amazing, WTF
Is Joshua ever gonna fight anybody decent, if anybody wants ordering to fight it’s him ffs
Least the WBC won’t stand for any ****
Battle of Britain, Fury vs. Joshua, winner then fights Wilder

Don’t know how to do links.
If you google dan Hewitt intuboxing you’ll see on the left hand side dan Hewitt talks to Nathan Heaney ‘on the box’ intuboxing HQ and If you click on that link then 22.30 in you’ll be able see how quick Nathan is. 6 punches per second.
Good mates of mine in which dan has known Nathan all his life.
The show dan presents is done in his own front living room.
Pretty good show too I might add.

Yeah pricey was deceiving, never really looked like much in his shots, but he had tough men dropping with ease. Shame his chin isn't so good, he definitely looked a world champ in the making early on. Never thought harrison looked anything over domestic or maybe euro level tbh.

In reply to Post #246
No until his defeat to danny williams he looked a world beater , he was set to fight matt skelton who pulled out williams stepped in , that loss did his confidence , he actually cracked my ribs , he did alot of sparring with wilder who took him out in a round , David price was the hardest hitter i came across , he knocked fury out as an amateur.

Middle.
Had a great amateur career then after marrying and having a child he wanted to see how far he can go as a professional.
Beat Terry Flanagan in his amateur days who went on to become a world champion. I know it means very little but if anything he’s dedicated.
Possesses that all important knock out punch and the body shots he throws are brutal.
6 punches a second ain’t shoddy either.

Not just the elbow for blocks mate, watch how he holds people off with it close up and ruffs them up, runs it over the face, naughty but nice
|

|
|
In reply to Post #205
That's it, he's definitely one for the purist rather than the casual. If you want to see a tear up, don't watch ffloyd. I like the elbow guard he uses too, does it in such a way that only one half of his face is open so he can concentrate on that whilst everything else is covered. Not sure he would have been so successful if his body punch resistance wasn't so good though. Definitely tbe in my eyes, nobody else comes even nearly close to the skills he has.
Keep an eye out for a lad called devan haney, looks very promising and is part of the mayweather camp
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #204
That’s why he’s a kickboxer and not a boxer
You fight a good boxer and you are going to get hit
Mayweather like him or loathe him is at another level completely, one of if not the greatest I have ever seen. Even love how he uses his forearm and elbow, superb
Watched a video a while ago, Ariel view, his head movement is unreal, faster than the punch, I can see why people struggle to get a glove on him, never mind his body angle, timing, slipping, footwork and counters
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #203
Yeah cant blame him at all. What did surprise me is this kid is an unbeaten kickboxing world champ yet his punch resistance is abysmal. I found it quite funny that ffloyd treated it as an exhibition for about 1 minute then seemed to decide he'd had enough so just steamrolled the kid
|

Cracking fight, those lads gave it everything they had. I had it even when the ko came. Very heavy ko, glad to see del boy was OK after a few minutes. He can definitely hold his head high. Dillian will be a a handful for any of the big boys of the division, if only because of his cardio

Last fight went the distance and was a split decision. 4 years down the line but either way I’m hoping it’s gonna be a proper war, Christmas cracker

You reckon? I wouldn't be surprised to see a late stoppage for either fighter. Should be a good old fashioned tear up. Warrington v Frampton a much more technical fight, again could go either way but I'm edging towards Frampton. Think his experience will see him get a fairly close decision

Least the odds are good, seen 100/1 for Fielding
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #155
I expect Crawford to win too, but Khan has a style that could give him opportunities for me
I can’t belive the Canelo fight either
Let’s see who Kell Brook gets next
I am in no doubt Garcia outboxes Spence, other than a superb left hand and perfect timing, can’t say I’m a big Spence fan. Time will tell though, a few big fights coming his way
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #154
Can't see Khan causing Crawford any problems at all tbh, once khan's lack of power is evident Crawford just walks through his shots and tags him.
Not sure Brook really looked strong if I'm honest, he looked OK but was over 4lb under the weight limit and his punches didn't seem to really slow matey down. Like his power at welter hasn't really followed him up.
Canelo v fielding is an interesting one, not sure how it came about to be honest. Potential banana skin for canelo, but don't see him having many problems against a quite limited fielding.
Spence v garcia is the one to watch for sure, flip a coin in that one
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #153
Agree
Can’t see him moving from super Welterweight now. Looked in great shape last night. As you know, there are a lot of names around, just wonder who will be next.
I can see why Khan fancies the Crawford fight tbh, his quick hands and reach could cause Crawford a few problems. Either way should be an interesting watch
Spence Garcia early next year, now that I can’t wait to see
Canelo and Rocky Feilding soon, that should be instersting too
Some very good fights coming up
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #152
Yeah definitely won easily enough, but took way too many shots. If matey had a bit of power then it could have been curtains for kell and his career. He should ditch the trainer, get ingle back in, move back down to welter and seek out the big boys there as I don't think he has the size to mix it up at light middle. None of the current names in that division will have any worries whatsoever after last night's performance.
Don't reckon the Khan fight will happen tbh, Khan knows he's getting knocked out next so reckon he will want it to be Crawford, that way he can say at least it was to a p4p great
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #151
Deffo not the ingle style, just trying to walk him down all night and took some punches which he would have usually slipped. Zafara is an awkward fighter though. I did feel the unanimous decision was correct, he did win the rounds just not in his usual slick, counter punching style. Job got done
Queen Khan next 
****ing coward is doing his best to avoid him
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #149
Yeah it wasn't anything like his best. Not sure the new trainer is the right man. Said kell boxed well but he really didn't, caught way too easily. Maybe he wasn't motivated enough by the limited opponent? Can't see the Khan fight happening now, would be be a hard sell for ppv as both have been average at best in their last fights. Can see Khan fighting Crawford, getting beat up for a few rounds then stopped, and retiring

I know that mate, it was in response to your edit saying tyson can't seriously believe he won. Of course he can, most do 👍

Realise that mate but I still don’t think he won that fight.
After hearing how Tyson was robbed I was expecting it to be glaringly obvious but I never saw it that way.

In reply to Post #139
Mate the whole boxing world is thinks tyson won that fight! May weather, Lewis, mallinaggi, holy field have all said so, plus plenty more. Even some of the American boxing press have said so, and they are notoriously bias towards the yanks

In reply to Post #137
I think there are some folk who’ll watch a fight ‘well replay’ with a prejudgement on what to expect especially if they’ve heard it through the media afterwards.
Edit - Tyson can’t honesty believe he won that fight.

In reply to Post #134
All I saw in the opening rounds were 2 boxers weighing each other up and doing very little. There were many rounds that with 45 seconds to go in my opinion it was headed for a 10-10 round and if one had gone on the offensive then they’d have taken the round.

Yeah he's got quick hands, his problem is he throws so wide they take longer to get there. If he tightened up his shots, threw straighter he'd definitely be way more dangerous. Probably sacrifice a little power for doing it but he carries so much I don't reckon that would be much of a problem. I can see Joe Joyce getting into the mix soon, with him, the winner of chisora v whyte, ortiz, miller, plus aj, wilder and fury there are some cracking fights to be made over the next couple of years. I think Parker is done at world level though

In reply to Post #132
Fair enough, it's a case of what you like really. Fighters do win rounds without doing much offense though. I think it was Willie pep who won a round without throwing a single punch all those years ago.

In reply to Post #130
I understand what you are saying and agree, both can bang. I just feel Wilder is too fast and quicker to the punch than AJ. Hopefully we will find out
Tazi, stop letting your mate use you as a sparring partner, sounds like your punch drunk to me, tell him to focus on the bloke with the washing line or the hairy bikers
I’m a sad **** and I’ve wathced the fight 3 times now lol
When you see the different camera angles Wilder was short or Fury slipped nearly every punch thrown, even at the end of the 2nd I thought Wilder caught him, and he didn’t
Styles make fights, Fury fights off the back foot, Wilder is just wild, Fury made him look pretty stupid at times
Anyway, great fight for the fans

Fury didn’t do much too but I gave 10-10 because it was wilder on the front foot....

In reply to Post #129
How on earth do you give wilder 10-10 for 2&3? He did absolutely nothing except windmill shots at thin air. Just trying to find the undercard now as it sounds like there were some decent performances
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #128
Oh don't get me wrong aj is hittable, I just think wilder is more hittable. And with the extra power aj has he could be a nightmare for wilder. It's one of those whoever lands the big bomb first wins, and I think that's more likely to be aj. I can actually see it happening before the fury wilder rematch. I think once he watches it back wilder will see he was a lucky boy

If Joshua and Wilder fight let me know how much you want to put up I will match it
Joshua’s defence is not good at all sadly, he is seriously hittable. Wilder will land, easily, his movement is poor too
If a rematch happens so be it
Might be a Battle of Britain

In reply to Post #126
Just finished watching it. For me fury won even with the knockdowns. I gave wilder 9&12 10-8 obviously, and round 11 by 10-9. Every other round 10-9 to fury. I could maybe see a case for a 10-10 for round 1. Stats say the same too, fury landed more, but threw less. He made wilder look crude, rigid and very one dimensional. Wilders only positive other than the knockdowns was that he was generally the aggressor which means not a lot imo (being on the back foot has never done may weather any harm has it?!). Its a shame fury had his meltdown for 3 years and ballooned up, I think without that he would have walked that fight. Fatigue played a big part in both knockdowns, the first was half knockdown half stumble imo. Rematch has to happen, but id like to see fury have another fight first just to get the stamina back to where it should be. Credit to wilder, he's got a good engine on him, and that eye wasn't too pretty by the end. I think aj beats fury tbh, he is a better boxer than wilder and can see him getting through a little more than wilder did. Also see him beating wilder as he's not hard to hit, and aj has so much more power than fury.
It says an awful lot when even the majority of Americans seem to be saying fury was robbed

Judging by reactions to the fight and even my son saying Fury was robbed I felt it must be obvious that he was. Watching it I just didn’t see it that way one little bit.

Haven't watched it yet, but by the sounds of it yes you are a minority of one lol. By the sounds of it, it was a very good night of boxing. Shame about Stevenson though, hope he pulls through OK
|
|
|
|
Probably in a minority of 1 but I thought Wilder won that fight.
116-113.
Those two 10-8 rounds did for Fury and not quite sure where one judges scorecard showed 113-113.
Think Fury will be ecstatic being called a draw even though he hasn’t said it.

In reply to Post #120
Not impressed by Wilder at all following this if I’m honest. One trick pony. His record speaks for itself, suppose you can only fight what’s in front of you but up until Ortiz, who nearly had him out, nobody really stands out for me, still, styles make fights
I suppose Joshua has to decide whether he wants to be KO’d by WIlder, which I would want Joshua to win but just can’t see it, he is definitely hittable. Or gets a boxing lesson and embarrassment in front of the home fans and hopes for the chance of a knockout against Fury
Fury was superb for me, as well as all the goings on over the last few years his movement for his size is just something else. Let’s he he keeps his head together and gets back in the gym

I'd be surprised if fury fights again , To fight like that and not get the result won't do him a lot of good , i fear his weight will balloon again and he will lose interest ,hope I'm wrong cause he is our best technical heavyweight boxer by far.

Thinking the same myself Jeff. Possibly Wilder and Joshua?
Fury and Wilder at Wembley
Fury has nothing to prove for me, won the fight, boxed his head off. Wilder, flat with a big right hand

I've a feeling there won't be a rematch ,
|
|

In reply to Post #115
Agree on all counts, only in America
I gave Wilder 4 rounds
Great boxing performance from Fury, slipped him all night and hit him with some great shots
I think that makes Joshua the 3rd best in the world for me
Edit - Lenox Lewis, I knew it would be a split decision, it happened to me. Everybody knows who won the fight, Tyson Fury won the fight...
|
|
|
|

Great performance, that's how to defeat a puncher , disgraceful decision. Fury really is mentally deranged.

In reply to Post #105
Agree with that. He is definitely hittable, has a reckless style but carries dynamite in that right hand. He is also lean but carries quite a bit of muscle and I question his stamina in a decent tempo fight, he was puffing against Ortiz, who for me at 47 years old boxed his head off until he gased and took the right
I can see why Fury fancies it, by far a superior boxer to Wilder for me. I expect Wilder to come out fast, I expect Fury to get in close and rough him up, make it awkward, roll around. When Wilder got put down in the Olympics it was by a fighter who took the fight to him and peppered him with short fast hands, a while ago now but styles make fight. If it goes past 6 Fury has a chance to give Wilder the boxing lesson of his life for me providing his body holds out
Fury can bang when he needs to. I’m sure once they have exchanged a few, witnessed the hand speed, movement and timing, one will fancy it
The difference, one punch can end it all in this division
Can’t wait

|
|
In reply to Post #105
He's not stopping wilder, for such a big man he doesn't have much of a punch imo.
|
|
|
|
|
The amazing thing about this fight is no one really knows how good wilder is ? I've watched his fights and as an ex amateur heavyweight myself I see a lot of things he does wrong ,he leaves his chin too exposed when coming forward, fury is a gifted boxer but I felt physically drained making weight as a light heavyweight, losing 10 stone is really incredible ! He will need to get wilder out quickly as he will tire
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #103
Stamina is what I think could be his undoing, boiling down 10 stone as quickly as he has can't be good for the body. He gets tired, loses a little concentration, and leaves his chin poking out. Wilder carries power for rounds that's for sure, he proved that against ortiz. Definitely an interesting fight of 2 very different styles.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #102
Me too
I want Fury to win, no doubt. If he pulls this off, which I think he is capable of, it will truly be something else. 3 years out of the ring, a long metal health battle and a 10 stone weight loss. Let’s hope he has the stamina

Yeah should be good, I just always have these doubts when 2 very good fighters come together. Agree about Spence be slightly overrated, Brook was beating him comfortably for a few rounds there so if garcia can keep the pace up he's in with a hell of a chance. The size difference could be his downfall though if the fight gets up close and rough

In reply to Post #87
I’m confident saying it will be a cracker. Garcia gives a proper fight everytime. Watched the press conference, Spence looks like he’s 5 weight division above him, and wearing high heels
Massive Garcia fan myself, Spence, decent but after the win over a jaded Kell Book, I don’t think he is as good as some people are bigging him up to be
Fancy Garcia myself on stamina and punch volume alone. Can’t see Spence beating Crawford either if that takes place. Spence’s biggest asset, great left hand and superb timing
Just got my tickets for the Kell Brook fight in December
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #86
Yeah I just saw that, has got potential to be one hell of a fight. My only worry about it, is they may give each other too much respect and it be quite boring (aj v Parker type fight). Hopefully not..
Some cracking fights still to come this year yet too

Well, one great fight arranged for next year fight fans, Garcia vs. Spence, can’t wait for this one

Well said Geoff and if you have met him that’s something else, real life not fantasy, brilliant
It was the David Haye saga that pissed me off, ffs

Spoke to him a month ago , until I got to know him I too thought he was a gob*****, apart from being a blue nose he's one of the nicest blokes I know in the game , he's got a chance in this but he's never been convincing against southpaws, His opponent is one tough bugger and a class boxer, would love Tony to knock him out and then retire but I think this is one step too far
|
|
|
|
Usyk vs. Bellew this weekend
As much as Bellew is a gob ***** I don’t mind the lad really, great punchers chance and that’s all he has got in this one for me lol
If he can pull this one off it will be unbelievable, although he looks in the shape of his life tbh. I reckon he’s gonna get his head boxed off and retired sadly
Let’s see if he sticks to his lip and does not retire

Easy defence for aj, can't see it really selling though so outside chance of an aj fight not being ppv. Fury British level at best, fighting like that won't even get him the European title. No way he beats anyone of any stature within the division

Yeah dubois has a lot of potential. Nathan gorman is another heavy who's looking handy. Certainly a few coming through the ranks now. That Miller from the US looks a handful too, moves well for such a massive bloke

I would too .I think in a couple of years Dubois is going be one to watch and his sister Caroline is supposed to be a bit special also
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #56
Yeah he is quick for such a big bloke, but Parker is quicker and he couldn't catch fury, he's too negative so unlikely to walk into anything, and he goes backwards way more than he comes forward. If he lasted 12 against aj it will be because he's spent 12 rounds running away
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #55
Joshua is quick for a guy of his size and if he catches him it's good night from him.Im not a massive aj fan but he does seem to be getting better
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #53
Oh I don't know about that. Not because he's a brilliant heavyweight, but because he can go backwards better than any heavyweight of the generation. He hasn't got a chance of beating aj, but he might be able to stay away for 12 rounds like he did Parker. He hasn't got the power or the balls to go toe to toe with one of the top guys imo

That was brilliant, the first couple of conferences anyway. Got a bit stale towards the end. Connor is pushing hard for a rematch too.
Anyone watching his return to the cage this weekend?

It's quite comical, but also quite put on I think. There is a vid clip from the London one this week, back stage, where they are laughing and joking and wilder even congratulating tyson on his weight loss. All very friendly

What day did you watch it

Maybe but he did say he definitely wasn't retiring. Whatever he does, I think his days as a world level contender are over

I guess he will retire, wonder if he seriously thought about this before the fight

Think there are a few options for groves now, but all from below him in the rankings.. Plenty of up and coming fighters looking for a name on their record. He's not looked the same fighter since froch ko'd him the second time imo. Move up to light heavy to rematch degale (can't see a bigger money fight for him anywhere else), and then hang the gloves up would be about the best he can do now I reckon

Have to agree with both of you, he got chinned last night.

Just watched the highlights. Great boxing display and very well disciplined from Smith, used the jab very well and picked the punches
Groves, not so sure myself, the question I would ask his where does he go next or who can he fight next?
Maybe a rematch with Smith. Smith dominated with the Jab but Groves caught him early in the 7th, could have gone either way at that point for me, although Smith did box well. One up for the Smith family
Good news is we have a new British champion, fights like that and he may hold the belts a long time which would be nice to see

He says he definitely not retiring. Off th back of that performance I can't see him getting back to world level again, a step up to light heavy may be in order

Will have to watch the replay, respect to Smith then

We will find out tonight
I guess it all depends on Smith, we know what Groves can do pending his shoulder and stamina over the 12
Looking at Smith, long and gangly you would think he would be working on the end of a long jab, typical with the rest of the family he likes a tear up which could cost him if he does, gangly fighter with an in close style. Unless he changes it for tonight, but can’t see it myself

Didn't see that one coming at all, definitely the performance of his career so far. Groves looked like an old man in there tonight

Agree, could be interesting
TBH I wasn’t too convinced against the fight with skoglund, thought he struggled myself.
Why isn’t it in the UK, one of the biggest fights for a while ffs

Should be a good one. First proper test of smiths career. I'm backing groves for a stoppage in the later rounds. Smith is too upright, and too easy to hit.

Groves and Smith this weekend
I’m expecting another great fight
