The all boxing thread

[Numbers]

The only one everyone really wants to see is Fury Joshua

Not any more, not for me anyway. Fury would destroy AJ, but it would be a good buzz/build up etc.

That’s why it needs to happen

It needed to happen, imo not so much now. Could have been the biggest in UK history, now it's not.

Nothing to do with anything we're talking about, so just because..



I've watched this so many times (literally hundreds of times). I've watched it as a whole, and just watching each boxer individually, looking at the 4 main judging points, defense/offense, effective aggression, ring generalship, clean punching.

They all go out the window in a round like this and the camera work for most of the last minute shows the intensity of professional fighting better than any I've ever seen.

For the greatest rounds in boxing this is without question the greatest 1st round of all time.

Anyone want to suggest a round 2? see if we can get a 12 or 15 rounder together?

Cheers

I’m terrible at remembering fights but the final round of Castillo - Corrales (just looked it up - round 10) is pretty epic

Wait your turn then ffs. We're only 2 rounds in.

Nice choice Ax^ - this is a proper brawl fight so far.

Ah sorry didn’t realise it was in round order

Never mind. And I'm enjoying these.

 

[Humberto]

That is, never mind my effort, these are well better.

round 6

 

[Athos]

For 6, Arturo Gatti v Ivan Robinson is a belter, especially the last minute.

Funny feeling Gatti might be along shortly, i.e. Round 9

Controversial choice for round 7.

Nov 6th 1993 - Bowe v Holyfield 2 - the infamous parachute man incident.
The fight itself was intense enough, but has anything that mad every happened in a fight?

It's a Dailymotion clip and not youtube.

What makes this fight memorable for me is it was the first night my wife and I had sex lol.

We had been flirting with each other for a cpl of months and the week before this fight (see original flyer below) we were at a rave, well... we went to a rave but there was a fight on the door and someone fired off a teargas gun, there was absolute bedlam in the place - eventually she and I ended up back at hers with a shit load of drugs and a deaf cat, and when high I tried to feel her boobs.

But the week after was the night of this fight, and the beginning of our intimate relationship, and here we are 28 years later - from time to time we watch the fight, and we have the original flyer framed.

Who's staying up for the Fury fight?

Who's staying up for the Fury fight?

Not Wilder by the sounds of it.

Id say that's Wilder retired now and Fury able to write his own ticket.
