The Boxing Thread

Fair play to him, didn't think he would do that.

I've ruined fights in the past by betting against the Brit and it just kills the excitement so I went on the fight not to go the distance instead, fully expecting Bellew to be the one to lose. I acting like a right smug c*** when Bellew got pinged only for him to go full on Rocky.

He's got some wires loose though that's for sure, he makes Fury seems normal when he's in full on psycho mood.

 

[TomPNE94]

Genuinely thought he'd killed Makabu for about half a second

 

[Gilly?]

Bellew looked completely wired during his interview. I'd be drug testing him.

Nice touch with him consoling Makambu afterwards, though I don't think Makambu knew where he was, who Bellew was or what cheese was at the current moment in time.

Bellew in being an unbearable twat shock horror. Callum Smith looked less than impressive, he took a load of shots off some midget light middleweight and couldn't put him away properly.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Can't stand Bellew but fair play to the guy he's now a world champion, devastating finish as well.

Pro boxers will be allowed in the Olympics but have to qualify first and this must be a bit of a smack in the teeth for the amateur guys who work so hard to get into the Olympics...

Rumours of this for a while. Poor ticket sales.

 

[Master D]

He's pulled a Haye. Very disappointing.

 

[JonBCFC]

Wonder what haye will make of this with all the grief fury have him over his injuries. I get the feeling this is either mind games, or his training camp hasn't gone as well as planned and wanted a few more weeks.

 

[Abertawe]

The picture of his foot is pretty conclusive tbf.

Fair enough then haven't seen it yet

I see Liam Smith will be the next Brit to get twatted by Canelo.

I see Liam Smith will be the next Brit to get twatted by Canelo.

Was an obvious fight to make but a future Brook fight is something that he can fall back on if needed when Brook moves up. Says more about Canelo and Golden Boy to be honest doesn't it, i.e. hanging about waiting for GGG to become old and on the slide instead of getting that fight on this year.

[Master D]

Groves and Murray turned into a decent scrap in the end. Both a shadow of what they once were though.

 

[Blitzballer]

boom down in the 7th

 

[Blitzballer]

tbf he hardly broke a sweat from the start.

That was a stroll for AJ, Brezeale was brave but Joshua could have had him out whenever he fancied. His next opponent will hopefully be a big step up.

 

[GodsGift]

I was more impressed with Joshua last night than I have been in any of his previous one or two-round blowouts. Breazeale was slow with little skill, but he was durable, stood up to AJ and took some big shots. Subsequently, Joshua got to showcase his boxing skill, and I was impressed with his jab - which has often been criticised in the past - which snapped Breazeale's head back on several occasions. He'll beat his mandatory Joseph Parker next and then fingers crossed we'll have a massive fight in 2017.

Meanwhile, I see Tyson Fury is in a spot of bother.

 

[Martw25]

He postponed the fight so he could march round France with the English lads and get pissed.

 

[Gilly?]

Eubank Jr and GGG apparently close to being negotiated.

Stylistically it's a great match up, but the way Golovkin cuts the ring off will make it incredibly difficult for Jr to keep on the move. I reckon it'd be competitive for 4 r 5 rounds before Jr gets stopped late on. I wouldn't rule out it going the distance though.

 

[Abertawe]

Looks like Eubanks have ducked GGG.

One of the most bizarre tweets I've ever seen relating to boxing. Ant & dec ffs. I used to think Snr was a bit of a G, it's clear he's just a mentalist.

[Leewilson]

GOLOVKIN VS BROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a bloody match up.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Wow, did not see that fight being made.

I'm a huge fan of Kell, but I can't see him going up in weight to challenge GGG and being successful. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Gilly?]

What a fight, think we'll see Brook lose his 0 here though.

 

[spireite]

Hype!

Special K has a chance you know... But bigger chance he gets his ass beat like he owes triple g money

 

[Abertawe]

Full of people moaning this is a disgrace due to the size difference, like they don't realise Kell is bigger than GGG

 

[Master D]

Wow, did not see that fight being made.

I'm a huge fan of Kell, but I can't see him going up in weight to challenge GGG and being successful. Hope I'm wrong.

Golovkin is going to steamroller Brook, his body punches alone will cripple Kell like they did Macklin and Murray. I guess you can say it's win-win again as he keeps his belt and can still make the Khan fight.
