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.
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.
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.
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.
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:-
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.
Holy mother of he that can’t be named, such a thing exists? What kind of warped perverted mind could design such a thing and where would you get one? (Asking for a friend)
