The all boxing thread

Too late, ffs. Rd 12 is next and it’s on you.

If we get up to Round 60, I'm getting in early for Gentleman Jim Corbett v Peter Jackson. No video survives, but I'll unearth some preliminary sketches.

 

[Wilf]

Is it just me or is anyone else a tad suspicious about Dillian Whyte pulling out of the Wallin fight with a shoulder injury, with Eddie Hearn immediately talking about 'Fury next' for him rather than rescheduling Wallin? Don't get me wrong, I like Whyte and he should have had a crack at a belt years ago. But, hmmm... timing?

 

[Numbers]

I'd have done the same if I was him, absolutely.
Crack at the champ for bigger bucks.

Yep. I think Whyte would have done better fighting Joshua again than Fury, but that route to a belt has gone. He'd have beaten Wilder imo, give or take avoiding the big right hand,

Funny that...

Dillian Whyte wants to fight Tyson Fury next after recovering from shoulder injury

Dillian Whyte says he hopes to fight WBC champion Tyson Fury next, and rubbishes claims he faked injury to pull out of his bout against Otto Wallin.

I’m still recovering from a shoulder (slap tear) injury in Feb.

I’d fight Fury for a few million tho’, I’d give the Champ kittens for a round or less.

Fury needs a domestic fight next really. Since AJ shit the bed his options are limited really to Joyce or Whyte with both being very beatable but only the latter providing more bang for the buck, thereby making Fury look good. Fury beats either of them, then Usyk and providing AJ proves himself worthy of a shot, Fury can end his career by beating him.

 

[weltweit]

I wonder what an at peak form Mike Tyson versus the current Tyson Fury would look like?

IMO AJ will beat Usyk in the rematch, Fury will beat his mandatory in Whyte and Fury will then smash the big dosser AJ to pieces next summer/autumn.

I'm cut making a decision on this but I'd actually go for prime Mike Tyson early. Be some fight whilst it lasted tho'.

Just watched this again, for Froch to pull that out so late was absolutely incredible. To muster that energy so late was unbelievable. Great final rd of the 12 we've all posted.

Onto the old school 15 now.

 

[Numbers]

Whilst it's tempting to go for an Ali v Frazier rd 13, cos there's a beauty there, we've already had them, so a nice little controversial (young and dirty) Duran vs Buchanan number for 13.

 

[Wilf]

Did anyone watch Crawford v Porter? Crawford was sublime as ever, but I was impressed by Porter while it lasted. Only time I've seen a full fight of his was when he lost to Kell Brook and he was, from what I remember, little more than a threshing machine. Really mixed his tactics up this time and had a bit of success. Crawford is astonishing though.

 

[weltweit]

I just watched Mike Tyson versus Lennox Lewis.
While Tyson was well past his peak, Lewis dealt with him well and won a deserved KO in the end.
It was said Tyson peaked aged 19.

But what a peak it was.

I enjoyed it, nice intensity. I had it close enough (could easily have had it 4-4) going into the 9th but Porter looked tired and it was only going to end one way.

I did think Crawford was a notch off the usual sharpness but was pretty much always in control and I was very surprised Porter's corner stopped it when they did.

 

[tonysingh]

Did anyone catch the domestic card saturday? I thought it was full of some banging fights. We really are spoiled here on the domestic boxing front, we have a very vibrant scene right now. I especially liked Richard Riakporhe t'other night. Calm, composed and powerful with plenty left to come.

I recorded it and got a 'this programme only part recorded' message, stopping before the Riakporhe fight.

It was almost as if his dad was pulling him out to make a point, all a bit wtf. Also, he's now retired from boxing:

Anyone have Dazn?

Its about £8 pm but worth it if you like the boxing.

Has a full card every Saturday night, here or in America or both. It just means I end up going to bed at 5am when a big fight is on like last night, which can muck your Sundays up a bit, depending

Too late.

I don’t.

Can’t remember the last time I stayed up all night for a boxing card, which I used to Love doing.

 

[tendril]

Lol

 

[tonysingh]

Lol

I never want any boxer to get badly hurt when they fight.

Aside from this wanker that is.

 

[Ax^]

hmm is this bases of the stuff i've seen online today

question if Prime Tyson Fury would beat Prime Mike Tyson

fury who is a great boxer but also the man who did this

 

[weltweit]

..

..

Yes, I asked this question some time ago. My money would be on Mike Tyson to win by KO.

 

[Ax^]

tyson fought fellas who were around 6.5 and whipped them

Prime Mike was a Force of Nature

maybe after tyson got out of Prison Fury would of stood a chance

but its not the same fight

 

[tonysingh]

I don't think there's ever been a heavyweight boxer that peak Iron Mike wouldn't defeat. He was incomparable for that all too short period.
