Re: Boxing thread
Decent from Jacobs last night, the bloke can box. In the battle of the flab, Miller stopped Wach, I'd fancy Whyte to beat him on points, what a **** fight it would be though.
Re: Boxing thread
Taylor is the real deal, he is going to go far. You can see why Hearn didn't let Ricky Burns anywhere near him after Taylor beat Davies.badabing wrote:Impressive from Taylor tonight, you can't argue with stopping a guy who's never been stopped in 44 previous.
The Glenn Foot and Josh Leather fight on BT was quality, unfortunately the Smith Williams fight was very poor compared to their first. Some of the scorecards (again) even worse.

Re: Boxing thread
Can anyone that watch the second Smith/Williams fight this weekend give me their view on who should have won? Cheers.
Re: Boxing thread
It was a close fight, a lot of the rounds were close and could have gone either way
114-114 or one/two rounds to tip it to either fighter would have been a good scorecard
The two scorecards for Smith were far too wide

Re: Boxing thread
I thought Smith probably nicked it, and I was cheering for Williams, the scorecards were terrible though. Don't even get me started on the Foot result.....

Re: Boxing thread
Have just seen a clip of Tyson Fury doing some ring work in a gym. Fat is not the right word, whale probably is.
Forgot the link: Tyson Fury back in the ring - via Twitter.

Re: Boxing thread
Was surfing and decided to look up Ernie Shavers ko's on youtube. I saw that he had been knocked out in the first round by Jerry Quarry, which was surprising to me. Clicked on the video to see what happened. What a fantastic video. Floyd Patterson, Ali, Frazier and Foreman all get into the ring for acknowledgement, the latter 3 in the prime of their careers. What a division that was then, and what a pre fight show.

Re: Boxing thread
Can't see how Garcia lost by so many points to Frampton. I felt Garcia could have won

Re: Boxing thread
Yep very close fight but I thought to myself there's no way if this goes to the cards Garcia is getting the decision.
The Conlon Ancajas was brutal, Ancajas looks exceptional.

Re: Boxing thread
Frampton looked gassed after about six rounds but just about did enough. It was a decent, close fight against a big, tough opponent.

Re: Boxing thread
I think the fact that they are two mouthy dickheads sold the first one, people were interested and people wanted to see a big knockout. What we got was Haye gassing himself out halfway through, getting injured and Bellew seemingly taking an eternity to knockout a knackered bloke, in his mid 30's, with one fully functional leg. I don't like either but I'd love to see Bellew get an absolute hiding, something many other heavyweights would be able to deliver if he was serious about being a heavyweight.
Re: Boxing thread
Haye Bellew 2 is off according to reports. David needs to retire, up there with one of the best Cruisers ever produced. Unfortunately the past few years his body has let him down.
Re: Boxing thread
Considering Hearn's a top thief who operates a 'no-refund' policy, you can expect there will be some form of a replacement for Haye to ensure this card happens
Re: Boxing thread
Apparently not. He is actually offering refunds and the fight is going to be rescheduled. Looks like the whole card is off.Nesticles wrote:Considering Hearn's a top thief who operates a 'no-refund' policy, you can expect there will be some form of a replacement for Haye to ensure this card happens
