🥊 The Boxing Thread

…is one way of looking at it😉

Another would be that it was a slightly premature stoppage by the ref. Takam in my humble opinion didn’t look that close to his brain stopping functioning at that exact point. That said he had no real chance of winning despite a very credible performance. It certainly showed that Joshua still has a fair bit to improve on which after only 20 fights you’d expect.

Interesting, Bristol. You decry the violence of the sport yet make light of potential violence inflicted.

Don’t you just hate hypocrites Pap?

It was a flippant comment, made on the spur of the moment.

Lighten up, really no wonder no one posts here anymore

I like this site, I post deliberate contrary stuff to keep the conversation going :laughing:

Sorry Bristols, I think that one went over your head. I was not having a go at you, just a polite jab back at pap as he was calling you out for changing a view on something when he self-confesses to making it up as he goes along - i.e. change the rules to suit him.

I was ready to make amends with pap but the soviet thing is a piss take.

It’s what you make it, sir. From the outset, you’ve chosen to take the piss out of it, so I’m surprised you’re disappointed with the outcomes.

Find better sources of grievances, Tokyo. The world has plenty of inspiration.

I will take this off this thread pap to it’s own one or you can PM me but you know it is BS and this ‘it is what you make of it thing’ is even bigger BS, save it for your kids.

Oh my lordy

There’s some boxer bloke in town this weekend. All the krew have got their knickkers in a twist and desperately searching for Benali stickers t photo bomb him.

Oh yeah that bloke in the tweet above.

As the site’s resident boxing expert, I am pleased to confirm that Tyson Fury will return to the ring.

His first bout will be against Thunderlips.

Great to see a reasonably well populated thread dedicated to the Sweet Science. Without doubt my second favourite sport and I still get the gloves on occasionally (most mornings when I am at home).

I was watching the press conference today between Billy Joe Saunder and Martin Murray and have to say, it feels a little unfair that BJS is having to fight someone like Murray. As durable and tough as Murray is, he’s hardly the same level.

BJS should be wih the elite and I hope he will get the winner of Canelo & GGG. For the record, I think he beats Canelo.

Just for fun/interest, these are my favourite boxers of all time:-

  1. Joe Calzaghe

  2. Lennox Lewis

  3. Chris Eubank Sr

Boxers I love to watch at the moment:-

Vasily Lomachenko

Chris Eubank Jr

Anthony Joshua

Olexsander Usyk

GGG

Carl Frampton

Nice choices @gwc

I would take Benn over Eubank snr. His early career was such explosive boxing and the demolition of Gerald McClellan was almost as sweet as Calzaghe doing a number on Jeff Lacy.

Think we are quite spoilt at the moment.
