The all boxing thread

[Steel Icarus]

That Canelo one I'll always remember, simply for him kneeling next to Khan, presumably to check his head was still on his shoulders.

 

[tonysingh]

You have to admire Khans courage in keeping going, even after the savage knockouts he had. Admire his chin though? Not so much.


At the end of the day, whilst he was talented, he was just not quite top table material as was shown.

 

[tonysingh]

KOs were courtesy of Brook, Terence Crawford, Canelo, Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson.

Peterson was points, his other KO was the one within 30 seconds of the first by Breidis Prescott.

Doh! you're right, Prescott was the first one. Splattered him and somewhat halted the hype.

I know it's poor form of me but that fight really is funny as fuck. Khans rubber legs, the look of shock on his face.....

 

[Numbers]

The full fight.

 

[Elpenor]

Watched the Prescott fight with mates, he was tall and rangey and obliterated Khan.

No one knew anything about him and I suspect that included Khan

 

[Elpenor]

Khan definitely got up too quickly from the first knock down but he was finished anyway I think

 

[tonysingh]

Ref should have stopped it with the first knockdown. No way was Khan able to carry on.

 

[Elpenor]

Yeah I thought he probably wouldn’t be allowed to continue these days.

 

[bellaozzydog]

The full fight.

That didn’t trouble my work bandwidth too much

 

[8ball]

Yeah I thought he probably wouldn’t be allowed to continue these days.

Count was at 9 before he looked kind of steady. Agree that would be it in a fight happening today.

Recently I ended up watching a medley of Prince Naseem Hamid fights / knockouts. While he was an arrogant shit he certainly could punch. Did he eventually get beaten or retire undefeated?

He get beat once, and soundly, by Marco Antonio Barrera

Absolutely schooled that night. MAB is/was one of my fav fighters.

I see it's going to be Canelo v ggg 3. Shame that ggg will be 40 at the time of the fight and, I'd have thought, not much chance of winning, particularly if it's in Las Vegas. Canelo is immense but... tainted meat... handpicked opponents... handpicked judges. ggg should have a perfect record or at worst all wins + one draw. FFS, Canelo almost got a draw on the judges cards against Bivol.

Just got round to watching Kamboso v Haney last night. Sounds like the lead up was pretty nasty, but bloody hell Haney is good. That old 'managing the distance' thing, he did it perfectly. How the fuck 2 of the judges had it at only a 4 round lead... I struggled to see Kamboso winning more than 2 at best (first and last perhaps).

Haney is so good he's kind of boring!

Don't think there were any slugs were there? Points jabs

Pure “chat shit get banged”

Man needs to readjust his target indicator radar

Onlookers giving it "there was no need"

Plenty of need you dumb shits. Man got knocked stone cold.

Fight night, Nathan Gorman on

No idea on this one, never seen him fight


ETA

Bit quick but showing a bit of potential

 

[Numbers]

Caught up with the Artur Beterbiev v Joe Smith Jr fight.
Beterbiev is an absolute beast.
18-0 now, all by KO.
Has to be Bivol next for the undisputed.

I disagree. Yes he was being a complete knob, and I wonder what the catalyst was but there was no need for Francis to knock him out like that. That could have been fatal.

 

[tonysingh]

Really am genuinely pleased for one of my favourite fighters, Derek Chisora beating Kubrat Pulev on points.

Still think he should have one more big time fight, make a shit ton of money as then retire though.

I would quite like to watch Usyk v Joshua tomorrow, but I don't subscribe to any feeds, what do you recon my chances are?

 

[Elpenor]

The ones I’ve used before is called either front row or first row sports I think

 

[Ax^]

hmm don't try the below although it might work for motorsport

FORMULA 1 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 2022 Live Streaming - TOTALSPORTEK.COM

or just wait till the 3rd round Joshua is getting his head kicked in
and it will be all over youtube

 

[weltweit]

For what it's worth I think Usyk is likely to win. He already knows he can beat Joshua because he already did. Joshua will have had to pick up lots of new skills to be able to win this I think.
