šŸ„Š The Boxing Thread

Barry chose to slate a division which is dominated by Eastern Europeans and therefore rarely features on Skysports as they prefer a domestic level grudge match between someone from Liverpool and someone from Manchester if at all possible. So far he can some back with Audley Harrison and Frank Bruno. I think I was one Ukrainian prospect away from Barry bring Marvis Rilley out of retirement. He speaks a lot but I think most can see that he doesnā€™t really know.

Pictures of Hayeā€™s achilles injury, donā€™t look if of a delicate disposition

I went out to a fight last night. White collar boxing. My mate @bigtom was on the ticket, and heā€™s always good enough to attend my functions, so the missus and I went down. Because we were with a fighter, we were proper ringside. We had booths with an unrestricted view into the action.

A good night. Tomā€™s original opponent pulled out, so he ended up fighting someone that normally does MMA. The contest ended in a draw. Fair play to the mush. Iā€™ve never seen him fitter, and for the unofficial status and all that, everyone else on the bill looked solid too. There werenā€™t any fat lads. The refereeing was decent as well. He tried to keep fights going if they could, but stopped them immediately if they were going one way.

In other news, I see that Bellew and Eubank Jr are Twitter-beefing. Arf.

Manny Pacquiao v Jeff Horn has been re-scored by the WBO after the ā€œcontroversialā€ decision the other day

Sat nightā€™s fight on ch5 was the best I have seen in a long time.

Heā€™s gonna get beat, but top entertainment.

Joshua wins! He punched the smaller dude enough until his brain stopped functioning :laughing:

ā€¦is one way of looking at itšŸ˜‰

Another would be that it was a slightly premature stoppage by the ref. Takam in my humble opinion didnā€™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 youā€™d expect.

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

Donā€™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.

Itā€™s what you make it, sir. From the outset, youā€™ve chosen to take the piss out of it, so Iā€™m surprised youā€™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 itā€™s own one or you can PM me but you know it is BS and this ā€˜it is what you make of it thingā€™ is even bigger BS, save it for your kids.

Oh my lordy
