stuart_75 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I saw this "event" too as my lad wanted to see it. Found a little river to watch it and couldn't believe my eyes. Chris Eubank jr was there as a pundit and he seemed embarrassed to be providing feedback on such garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have paid him a absolute fortune to be there as he looked like he was paid to "praise" the fighters as he looked like he was cracking up half the night at how crap alot of "boxers" were. Your right its more a sports entertainment event. That's not boxing in any capacity. Any person that calls that boxing is just humiliating themself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to drop the word boxing full stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 So we are closing in on Mexico Independence weekend in Vegas. 168 lbs is the chosen weight, one going up one coming down. One over 40 with an alleged diminishing skill set the other off the bsck of his first defeat in many years. If there is any justice or credibility still in the game there should be only one result but fights are not won on these attributes. It may be fanciful thinking but I think we could be in for a full out war. Please do not disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Cracks me up, been going on about it all day on Talksport that the fights as good as on for the right money. They failed to mention, AJ has said as quoted on Talksport, he will take it in December. Fury has offered it for November knowing AJ won be ready. Its all a joke!!

Follyfoot Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 Gennady Golovkin on the Canelo Alvarez trilogy fight: “While four years is too long between the last fight and this one, I am relieved Canelo did not wait until I was 50 to agree to a third fight. For a while, it seemed that was a strong possibility.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) ESPN reporting its been agreed spence vs crawford. Thats the one i been dying to see. Such a hard fight to call. You probably make spence favourite based on size Edited September 16, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are I think - but Golovkin looks like he's further gone. I don't see Golovkin ever being able to right the wrongs sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Golovkin ever being able to right the wrongs sadly. The one thing none of them can beat, apart from Foreman and Hopkins for awhile. It’s all against GGG being at 168 for the first time, relatively inactive and over 40. However the man has a heart of a lion and you never know if he can dip into the well one last time and produce something spectacular, boy does he deserve it. Even if he does I suspect he will have to knock Canelo out to get a draw, is it Mexico day this weekend? I cannot stand Canelo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are serious arguments for both, cannot wait. Could even end up in a trilogy as they are very closely matched. That’s an interesting subject in its own right, your favourite trilogy fights, Barrera Morales closely followed by Gatti Ward for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrera and Morales were great foes but that first fight was so brutally good the other two seemed like an Anti - climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I see Lee Wood as had to pull out of his fight with Lara. Torn bicep apparently. It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise if Lara decides to fight someone else. The way Lara pit a beating on Warrington, I really don't see Woods having the tools to do much better than what Warrington did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
