Don't matter. Every British fighter involved in a title world title fight will be ppv no matter what numbers it does on sales.fmgod wrote:Think this fight might bomb PPV wise hasn't caught the public's interest and both are quite straight forward plain personalities.
The most frustrating thing is the undercards are often crap. The Aj Klitchko undercard was an embarrassment.
For those that remember the original ppvs back in the 90s these shows were worth the money.

Re: Boxing thread
I was not as impressed with Spence Jr as the Sky pundits, great fighter but I don't think he was spectacular. Brook seems to struggle over the long fights and was looking to quit.
Re: Boxing thread
So chuffed for Groves. Stunning shots to finish that, some chin on Chudinov.
Classy from Spence Jr. Acid test away from home, weathered the storm and broke Brook down bit by bit.

Re: Boxing thread
Good fight, thought Spence was very erratic and jumpy with not much actual class, when Brook boxed he beat him, that's Brook done now though two fights in a row both on the same eye
The Russian before Chudinov I would want in any bar fight, bloke took everything and still standing

I agree and so does Spence Himself that he didn't fight that well.

Re: Boxing thread
Kell Brook has had 2 busted eye sockets (both sides) in his last 2 fights when stepping up in class. Admittedly Khan is a step back down in class but the seeds of doubt will be planted inside now. The way he gave up last night was weak despite making a decent fight back. If I were Brook id be thinking about hanging up my gloves.
Re: Boxing thread
Brook and Khan will need each other
Weight will surely be an issue. Can't see Brook wanting to make 147 again

Re: Boxing thread
Brook has said he's going to go up in weight now so I'm not so sure anymore, which will be a shame as it's the fight everyone wants and probably both of their last chances of a big fight.fmgod wrote:The Khan fight is surely a formality now, it's the biggest pay day for both, both now got a few losses, both getting older

Re: Boxing thread
Anyone see the Shelby fight? Floored in the first, bashed up and eventually wins by 117-110 by two of the judges? Home town decision there I feel?

Re: Boxing thread
I watched it, knocked down in the first minute, looked unsettled, after that he coasted to victory. As Frampton said, you could argue that he won the next eleven rounds, he came back strongly and didn't even get into top gear but still easily did more than enough. Not a home town decision at all, although it's worth pointing out that the lad is from Barry, so he wasn't fighting in his home town, he was fighting in Cardiff.WHU Independent wrote:Anyone see the Shelby fight?

Andrew Selby is getting better and better, his style makes for exciting fights and I firmly believe that he's the most exciting British boxer at present, nobody moves like him and comes forward with such speed and tenacity, he's fantastic to watch.

Re: Boxing thread
Just announced Adrian Broner vs Mikey Garcia on July 29. This should be a absolute belter of a fight
Re: Boxing thread
Broner is a Ravel Morrison, very very talented but also an utter idiot and just pissed their talent down the toliet
George Groves has revealed he broke his jaw in the 3rd round against Chudinov.
