Follyfoot Posted March 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2022 17 minutes ago, sheepyvillian said: The ironic thing was, after the Hearns fight , Andries joined the Kronk stable and Manny took him in with open arms. You do remember the amount of times Andries got off the floor in that fight with Hearns? I think it was about seven. Whilst we here, did you see the video of John Fury berating Carl Frampton for expressing the opinion that Jake Paul would beat Tommy Fury ? Fury comes across like the classic bully I always thought he was. Let's see if he has the decency to apologise. Probably not. I've just noticed that the video has been posted. Game as they come and had a very, very good career after numerous setbacks both personally and in the ring (especially if the age rumours were true) but still moved forward can not fault that. Gobshite is the word I would use for Fury's old fella, needs to shut up as no one is interested in what he has to say but have to listen due to who his son is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy is a celebrity boxer, essentially. He’s fought 4 guys that Jake Paul would beat also i believe. Tommy has never boxed past 4 rounds. But coming back to the video, it’s John fury i wanted to highlight. Frampton gave HIS opinion which he didn’t like and tried to intimidate a 5”3 former world champion.

Remember how he threw a tantrum when Joseph Parker got the nod over Hughie Fury? I wonder what his thoughts were when Tyson got the nod over John McDermott? As it goes, I always find Peter Fury has some interesting things to say about boxing in general. He has a very quiet demeanour in total contrast to his brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter likes working away with hughie and savannah and he takes on no more than that. Hates the limelight. John Fury is just an awful man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2022 Peter is the scary one. The former drug lord with the ten year sentence and the serious, serious associations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I would love Wood to beat Conlan tonight. There's an arrogance to Conlan that is really annoying, and his brother, too. I don't think Conlan is as good as he thinks he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Delighted for Wood. Had him to win in rounds 10 to 12. Got to be up there for fight of the year. That Wood is one tough cookie. It must be the Nottingham water, Froch was the same, hard as nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Conlon totally controlled that fight. The slip in the 11th given as a knock down probably gave Wood that final push to go for it. I hope Conlon is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have landed the crisper punches but when it came to the Championship rounds Wood was the stronger has was proven by the result. Conlan totally underestimated Wood and paid dearly for it. Apparently, Conlan was coherent whilst on the stretcher. Edited March 13, 2022 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Only read about it. Heard it was a great fight that Conlan was winning. Seen the finish on YouTube. Hope he’s alright. His head took some smack. If Conlan is ok a rematch is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made some very disparaging comments about Wood in the build up to this. Has that McGregor swagger. All mouth. Hats off to Leigh Wood. Wasn’t given a prayer against Can Xu and underdog tonight too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fight. Conlan's slick boxing took control for the first half of the fight but Wood always looked like he was in the fight. You can't underestimate that honest determination and boy, did he have that in abundance. Like I said in an earlier post, I had a little flutter on Wood to win it in rounds 10 to 12, and tbh, I always felt from the 8th round that it was likely to happen. I really took a dislike to Conlan and his brother after that press conference where they were really nasty to Wood and Davison. Also, I never really believed the hype that surrounded Conlan when he turned pro. It really is pleasing to see such an honest pro like Wood get the rewards that his obvious hard work deserves Edited March 13, 2022 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Conlan will be licking his chops ( if his health is ok ) at a rematch with Wood. Would be huge demand for it. Again, didn’t see it but on social media they say it was epic. He had it in the bag, was winning the fight. Wood could say **** him. He would of took very short money to fight can xu. Probably not a big pay day tonight either. He can kick back now and unify against the winner of Warrington v Martinez, make himself proper money and to be honest i think he beats both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it should be Lara fighting Martinez and not Warrington. That clash of heads in their rematch was, for me, a blessing in disguise for Warrington, I think Lara beats him every time. Lara was involved in a cracker on DZN the other week and ended up winning with a vicious knockout. He's unbelievably, heavy handed with such great precision. I don't think it will be too long before he has a belt around his waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
