The_Rev Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Watching boxing in the cinema was a huge thing in the 70s, the first wave of PPV before the technology existed to put it into people's homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Looks like its Spence Jnr V Brook then Can't see brook winning that one then again i said the same when he fought Porter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 7, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2017 Talk of Eubank Jr vs DeGale today - I'd watch that for nothing. I thought Eubanks opponent over the weekend nailed Juniors problem completely - he said that he never felt that Eubank was going to knock him out, that there's not enough power, but that the volume of punches he was hitting him with was having a cumulative effect. Eubank is someone who throws huge uppercuts and hooks, but has to throw a hundred of them to win the fight, float like a butterfly, sting like a really enthusiastic butterfly.

Spence has power, combinations, aggression, speed but is very open and Brook has the combination of power and precision to exploit that. It's a really good fight, if Spence goes onto win this impressively it literally will be the making of the next welterweight superstar. Spence has looked great but his level of opposition has been pretty low, this will be the real barometer for where he is and where he will go.

BOF Posted February 23, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2017 What's the thinking on Haye v Bellew? Both in terms of who you think and who you want to win it. Am I going against the grain in wanting Bellew to win? Or does everyone else think Haye is a bellend too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 i used to like haye, now i dont, that said bellew is a clearing in the woods too, not really fussed both of them will start gobbing off at someone else and calling out joshua regardless, think this is a precursor to try and show they can pull in the figures before an even bigger money making fight vs joshua that neither deserve got a bit of shouting the loudest about it all for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington was winning a few rounds but wilder just unleashed one punch and Washington was finished. But for me wilder needs to step up fight better opposition now. Would like to see how haye does he would be a good opponent for wilder. Him or parker/fury. But the main fight for was breazale vs izu what a epic fight that was. Fantastic watch it you haven't! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a back and forth fight. The 3rd round was such a classic. Breazale showed such heart in that fight. The guts got a chin that's for sure as for khan I think he will cause PAC man a few problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a terrible boxer with virtually no skill at all whatsoever, however that incredible power of his makes him a live dog in any fight he has. That said, a well schooled boxer with reach and power should dissect him. He was windmilling so often in that fight that I thought he was going to take off like a helicopter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan won't be able to keep someone as skilled as Pacquiao at the end of his jab all night, unless Pacquiao really has aged badly since his last fight.

Yet here he was throwing bombs. Goes to show how intimidating AJ is to his opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
