The all boxing thread

[Steel Icarus]

Great finish.

 

[butchersapron]

Lovely - almost casual - finish.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Nice to see the respect between them at the end...in fact it started during the fight.

We're on for Joshua Fury, now. What a fight - or fights - that will be

 

[tommers]

Ha, I thought they were still arguing at the end.

 

[Steel Icarus]

What was Pulev staying to Josh there? "Now you know who you am?" or something?

For those of you who did not see it, tonight's edition of BBC's Panorama contained some extremely disturbing revelations:

"A top boxing trainer shot and badly wounded. A former boxer executed in broad daylight. And a gangland killing at a weigh-in for a European title fight. Is organised crime involved in professional boxing?

Boxing has always had shadowy people lurking in the background. Panorama hardly turned up anything new.

 

[Numbers]

Looks like Fury vs AJ may happen this summer, to determine the undisputed Champ

 

[tonysingh]

Excellent comeback win for Dilian Whyte tonight.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Excellent comeback win for Dilian Whyte tonight.

The Metcalfe Chesseman was brutal too

 

[tonysingh]

That's gotta be del boy finished now. A loss yeah but he went out like a warrior.

i stayed in that hotel a week after the execution at that weigh-in. No wonder it was so cheap.

 

[tonysingh]

Anyone staying up for the Alvarez v Saunders fight?

 

[D'wards]

Anyone staying up for the Alvarez v Saunders fight?

I probably will try to. Might set me alarm though
Should be a gooden

I've taken the DAZN plunge so am gonna try and get some kip Saturday evening to be up and ready for the undercard etc. I ain't a young man any more, j can't do all nighters.

But yeah, I'm eagerly waiting for it. It's genuinely hard to call.

 

[butchersapron]

Canelo to knock that scumbag out. He's such a nasty prick.

I'm not keen on drugs either. Canelo is a far better fighter, wasting his time.

 

[D'wards]

Yeah normally I'd be behind the Brit but Saunders is such a scumhead I'm also backing Alvarez

 

[tonysingh]

Surprised by the ending of that Alvarez v Saunders fight. He could have gone on but he'll have to stop giving it the biggun now.

Anyone see that heavyweight fight on the undercard? Fuck me that was bizarre.

 

[Wilf]

I don't particularly like Canelo (drugs) and he lost at least one of the GGG fights, but fucking hell, he's really got the lot. Good chin, relentless, massive power.

I'm normally a (sporting) patriot, but not last night. Saunders is a real scumbag.

Jarrett Hurd vs. Luis Arias

[bellaozzydog]

Logan mayweather

Yeah, pointless pantomine. In as much as I gave a shit, I hoped the youtube twat would have knocked the wifebeater spark out.

 

[Wilf]

Anyway, nice to see Dubois back the other night. Particularly after Saunders stayed on his stool, I hope all the 'quitter' stuff has finished now.

 

[Numbers]

RIP Kirkland Laing - died y/day age 66

Upset of the year 1982 when he beat Duran.

 

[Numbers]

Been reading this of late, it's great.

The main purpose of the magazine is to present historical information about the many thousands of professional boxers who were active between 1900 and 1950. The great majority of these boxers are now dead and I would like to do something to ensure that they, and their exploits, are not forgotten.

[Steel Icarus]

Absolutely love watching Naoya Inoue. What a puncher.
(from 16.40 if you just want the knockdowns)

 

[Numbers]

Wrecking machine isn't he.
Him vs the winner of Donaire vs Casimero would be epic.

Fury v Wilder 3 could be off due to positive covid tests in Fury's camp. No idea who has tested positive or the circumstances, but it's no surprise given that Fury and entourage have been living the life, out on yachts and all that shite:

Or both camps have crunched the numbers and realised that a third fight isn't really worth it and this is their get out clause, it'd certainly be in Furys favour.
