Boxing thread?

Na don't have any particular animosity towards him, I just think of him as someone who was overrated and couldn't back it up. If you talk a lot and can't back it up, you look silly.

The Wlad fight hurt his heavyweight legacy. He spoke big going in to that one and didn’t deliver at all. He should have gone all out, broken toe or not. Can’t imagine the likes of Jack Dempsey blaming a broken toe as to why he couldn’t give it everything for example!

Haye backed it up plenty in his cruiser days though, where he was a genuine elite, world class fighter

I love chatting boxing chaps. All opinions and contributions count Mullers, I respect yours and everyone else’s here.

Fury fighting a midget Albanian cruiserweight part time bouncer on his comeback then?

You take it easy Tyson!

 

[Mullers]

I just watched Jack vs Stevenson, it really was a tremendous fight. I think a draw was really a fair decision. If anything I was worried that Jack might have lost. If he had done more in the earlier rounds he would have won. Credit to Stevenson though, he showed a lot of heart and is in great shape for his age.

Well done to Warrington last night, great display and cracking fight against Selby.

Should put him in line for a fight with Frampton later in the summer

Warrington is better than I thought he was. I underrated him, he was brilliant last night and won comfortably for me.

I think he can beat Frampton after that. Carl is a touch overrated. Location could prove decisive in that one

Definitely agree, a Selby points win seemed like a borderline banker!

Based on last night I think he would beat Frampton as well, he never pushed on like I thought he would (Frampton)

Inoue destroyed Mcdonnell.

Inoue destroyed Mcdonnell.

He is quick isn’t he, especially with that power at that weight.

Think McDonnell will move up a weight now

Inoue destroyed Mcdonnell.

He looks about 12 . A special talent I think.

Whyte v Parker is to be PPV the greedy bastards.

Can’t see many people forking out £15-20 for this but could be wrong.

Would happily go to the pub for it if on at a reasonable time.

That’s what I usually do but I’d be surprised if they thought it was worth the £300 they get charged. It’s not really one that will pull in the casual fan

 

[kr1978]

Might change my opinion if there is a good undercard it’s just so annoying when I’m already paying sky a bloody fortune

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

I am looking forward to Inoue, Burnett & Tete in a super series I think that would be fireworks. For such a little fella he does have explosive hands Inoue and he's relentless, he's fearsome at the weight like Manny was but he just seems so slight even though he's the same height as Pacquiao I can't see him winning titles at Welter like Pac did.

I am sure a few will show the fight.

Actually think they are quite well matched.

Totally, don’t get me wrong I think it will be a cracking fight

Perhaps if Parker still had the belt, I tip Parker to win he showed against AJ he was the real deal. If he had been a bit busier he might have won. This should be a title eliminator for Wilder's belt.

Weight classes are so weird how can fury out weight this guy by 3 stone and it's seen as a fair fight?
