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!

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
his trainer said he wouldnt do the gym work and it showed

Agree, Campbell is a very good, experienced and talented boxer. Could turn out to be a very good fight!

I hope Campbell wins

Im hoping its the opposite Gerry,i think garcia may have bitten off more than he can chew , campbell is an olympic gold medalist , garcia has,nt faced a fighter as good as campbell , if it was in this country i would put a wad on campbell but in america who knows !

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

Bit of a rebel in the area that was for sure. Ruled by the fist and not to be messed with, from a fighting perspective, I respect that

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.

A few people discussed Paul Sykes a while ago. I was watching some boxing and came across this, thought I would share it

Paul Sykes

Sad story really, misspent youth and upbringing sadly. There are a few chapters

I stayed up and it quickly became clear to me that Smith had no intentions to win the fight, damage limitation exercise and snatch his purse on the way out before moving up a division.

Canello is differerent Gravy

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
