Boxing thread?

Completely forgot about it. Just started watching.

Missed a good fight between Cash and Madiev. Cash got knocked down twice but still won, I wouldn't be happy if I was the Russian.

Fisher cut quite badly already, looks to be a head clash.

I'm watching the Fisher fight now.

I'm watching the Fisher fight now.

The guys a tank and got some quick hands for a heavyweight, just 21 too.

He looks good but think he's tiring a bit. His opponent is pretty experienced and might ask a few questions of him here.

Yeah Enguema knows when to come forward when Fisher has thrown a heavy right hand, you can see the experience between the two in that respect.

 

[dontcallme]

A comfortable points win surely upcoming for Fisher.

 

[mark87]

Good fight for him, as the commentators said he'll learn alot from it.

 

[dontcallme]

Ryder has put in a really good performance but Jacobs to take this on points.

 

[dontcallme]

I disagree with the decision. I thought Jacobs won enough of the early rounds to nick it.

Is this brook Vs Kahn fight meaningful in anyway ? Aren’t they both finished ? Sky making such a fuss over it.

Not really.

Khan hasn't fought in 3 years and is now 35. If he'd taken on Brook in 2019 instead of Crawford it'd have been both of them around their prime.

Brook is also 35 and hasn't fought since 2020, another big defeat against Crawford.

I actually think it'll be a good fight though and a better fight than many main events. Just don't buy into the hype of them disliking each other or anything.

 

[cider spurs]

Reckon Brook will kick Khan's arse.

 

[mark87]

Hope Brook wins, can't stand Khan's arrogance.

Am I one of the only people that quite likes Khan? Never understood the hate tbh.
I’ve always enjoyed his fights, as he’s a good boxer, with good hand speed, but always has that vulnerability. Similar to why I mostly enjoy AJ fights, neither are perfect and you know that a fights can go either way.

yep, I like him. he also gave a good interview with Talkshite (I think) where he sounded like a decent bloke.

having said that, not really followed either of them through their careers, so have no sway either way on the fight tomorrow. will probably end up watching it i guess.

 

[ajspurs]

I have to admit I want Khan to win simply for this, I remember it having me in stitches at the time as it's the sort of stupid thing I'd have done with a mate



Is interesting, feels like an eternity since I'd last watched a hyped up Khan fight.

I quite like him.

Most of the dislike appears to be based on his arrogance and glass jaw. He's not really that arrogant for a boxer. To compete at the top most need high confidence and appear unshakeable.

Despite his glass jaw he has provided some great battles over the years.

 

[daryl]

Big fight tonight,, heart says Khan and head says Khan. As ever tho, Anything can happen. Khan has alot more to lose for sure. Possibly the most talented British boxer of the last 20 years. Such a shame about his chin

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

I’d like khan to win, but I think Brook will take it due to Khan’s inactivity. Can see it turning to a brawl at some point…

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

They genuinely dislike each other and whilst the fight should have happened years ago i am looking forward to it.

with the emotion it will definitely turn in to a scrap and we all know Khan can’t help himself getting in to a tear up.
