avfc1982am Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Heaney v Paul was a great fight tbh. Heaney lucky in the end, probably just edged it but Paul could've stopped him had he got on the gas earlier. Nobody wants to draw but a great scrap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a class finish from the youngster. Joyce should change his nickname to The Robot Vacuum Cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an interesting one, former white collar boxer, turned pro against a much promoted Olympian. I think Clark has looked very very average in his last couple of fights but he should have too much, also a little bit of interest as he just comes from down the A38 Do not see either going much further up the ladder, to be honest but in the madness that is heavyweight boxing these days, one of them will probably end up fighting for a world title of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Just seen the Pit bull dismantled Romero. Thankfully, that's the last we'll see of RR, nothing but hype and a "flashy coat"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember, rightly when Hearns beat him, it was Hearns belt at a fifth different weight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Hearns, what a thing of beauty he was. They robbed him in the second fight with Leonard. I watched that live in the Porsche club, no way was that a draw. His KO of Duran is one of the best knockouts ever, and the fight with Hagler is without doubt the greatest three rounds in boxing history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is, it's arguably the greatest last round in boxing, if you haven't seen it, get to YT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.... that Duran knockout is still to this day one of the greatest ever. Righthand straight down the pipe and Duran got felled like a tree. I absolutely loved Hearns as a kid. If he'd been able to stay the course in the first fight he'd have won that by a landslide because Ray was well down on the cards. He definitely got robbed against Leonard in the rematch though. The documentary series on them, 'The Kings' is one of the best boxing docs ever if you haven't seen it. They were all brilliant in that period. I loved the four of them but especially Tommy who will always be one of my top 5 favourite fighters of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke looks much more composed and that jab will pay dividends as the fight goes on. Wardley looks a little uncomfortable and open already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
