sheepyvillian Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, Follyfoot said: cigarette paper between them Even the press conference was tense. Derek James dropped a great one when the Crawford camp were shouting, "time to eat, time to eat", to which James replied, "you can bet your life they'll be eating, because Bo Mac as never missed a meal", I broke my bollocks laughing to that one. Why does Crawford always look like he just disembarked from an asylum boat? No wonder he left Arum, can't even afford to have his teeth fixed. In all seriousness, this is one helluva of a fight, and you're right, it's as close as you can get. Reminds me a little of the Barrera v Morales fight and how much anticipation that fight built up. If it's half as good as that was, we're in for a cracker. I'm going to book it on Sky Box Office, can't be relying on some dodgy stream for such an occasion as this. I'm still going with my man, Terence. He's like an oak tree, and you're going to need more than an axe to knock one of them down. I've had a flutter on a Spence TKO anytime and a Spence TKO between 4 and 6, but I think that's a bit early so i might go for between 10 and 12. All I know is, shits about to get real.

Follyfoot Posted July 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 I am sick to death of debating this in my head, and making a case for either and changing my mind on a daily basis. I am therefore sitting totally on the fence and calling it a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it smells of a trilogy Next one has to be Tank v Haney or Lopez or Shakur. The Yanks have got some serious talent right now. Im not remotely interested in the Fury v Usyk fight, it just doesn't appeal to me. As giod as tbey both are, they're not the most exciting to watch. I see Connor Benn has been cleared to box again in the UK. Absolute joke. A spit in the face to any clean dedicated boxer. As soon as he steps up in class with thw likes of Ennis or Ortiz Jr, he will be found out. Ain't no way he is at that level. Avenyasan would be a live opponent, I think he would struggle with him. No doubt they'll try and get the Eubank show back on track, but I'm wondering if Chris Jr has the hunger anymore. I wondet what we'll be commenting about Sunday., can't wait to find out.

Follyfoot Posted July 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 Tank vs Haney makes me salivate more than one of my Mums beef dinners. I just get the feeling that we’re going to see something exceptional at the weekend, possibly even controversial. Like I said above I don’t see the argument ending at the weekend. Boxing needs this to be as good as it should be. You’re right, the Conor Benn situation is a complete farce, which drug is the name of the sport into the gutter once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't expect slick sweet science It's a showcase fight for a symbolic title they call BMF (baddest mother effer). Both are durable and will swing until dawn as they probably wont engage the ground. Main card starts 03 uk time. I guess around 4.30 would be main event time.

sheepyvillian Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Nonito Donaire put up a great fight for a 40yr old man, but Santiago deserved that and just look how much it means to him. Nearly had me crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 The guy fighting Cruz has a similar style to Herol Graham. Hands dangerously low, but compensated by good reflexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 What a robbery. Cruz was totally outboxed from round one. A few left hooks here and there just isn't enough. I don't know what the judges are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2023 Crawford twice as powerful and twice as quick as Spence. He's making this look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
