The Boxing Thread

What an shit way to win a boxing match, not that Cleverly will care.

I had Braehmer well ahead on points until he pulled out.

 

[Master D]

Braehmer was a class above and was easing his way to a wide UD there. Cleverly was just volume punching and mainly slapping arms. An asterisked title if ever I've seen one.

I bet Fury is quality on the beak, he'll be getting top notch gear too. He's still the man, until someone beats him that'll remain the case.

Looking more likely his belts will be stripped from him.

If that happens, Wladimir vs Wilder for the vacant belts is likely to be on the cards

Diggin a bit deeper if he gets stripped of them

WBA HW
Luis Ortiz vs Wladimir Klitschko

WBO HW
Joseph Parker vs Wladimir Klitschko

Fancy Klitschko taking both if that is the case. Reading some articles, it appears if Fury is stripped, he won't be banned from competing

Parker is very good but Dimitrenko didn't fancy that, did he? Took a couple of dives for me.

He is good. However, unless changed in recent times, the No1 and No2 contenders in each division get first refusal to face each other to fight for the belt.

As for Dimitrenko, tough titty, WBO have said it was a legit KO, so Parker is in the frame regardless. Parker v Klitschko will be an interesting fight and worth the PPV fee

Parker v Ruiz Jr for the WBO is something I keep reading.

Grim news about Mike Towell

 

[Abertawe]

Aye horrific for his family & friends. It's about time something was set in place by the BBBoC to ensure some sort of long term funding for the immediate family of any boxer unfortunate enough to lose their life or suffer a life debilitating injury.

TYSON SPEAKS

Hopefully he sticks by his words but unfortunately I doubt it.

 

[spireite]

Why hopefully? It's a better sport with Tyson Fury in it

While we're on the subject on heavyweights who are stealing a living, what the fuck has happened to David Haye? His "comeback" has been a joke.

 

[appletablepenny]

I'm not a big boxing fan - very rarely watch it now (watched it more when it used to be on terrestrial TV in 80s/90s). Serious question - why all the disdain for Tyson Fury?

 

[GodsGift]

Haven't you read the newspapers? He's a PR disaster, a homophobe and a sexist prat who is now alleged to have used nandrolone and taken cocaine. Still a fine boxer mind, but he's his own worst enemy.

He's a travelling fighting man so people are just using the last acceptable form of racism against him.

 

[JonBCFC]

Shock horror. Tyson has in fact, not retired at all.

 

[Abertawe]

haha. He made national new with that tweet though, front page of nearly every site too. He knows how to keep his name active does Tyson.

Nothing to do with him being a fucking c*** though is it

He's been abducted by Shannon Briggs.

 

[Super_horns]

A shame really as he could have become another British sporting hero - now just sounds like a prat.

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

He could still have those belts stripped from him if he doesn't get himself into shape soon

 

[West Terrace]

He's had more coverage today than fat mick has produced in his whole career, the blokes an awful promoter

 

[MJA]

What a fucking bellend Fury really is

I wish Fury would stop beating that old dead horse re. his background. Noone gives a shit about the fact he's a traveller. The public at general DO care when he makes remarks about homosexuals or whatever else, because it's the kind of shit that gets the headlines. I think characters like Fury are great for the sport, but that victim complex about being a gypsy does him no favours. The only person who brings it up is him and his dad. Peter Fury is a gentleman and a bit of a legend though

You don't give a fuck but check out the vid Bobby Gunn tweeted. Pure vitriol that wouldn't be allowed against any other race yet it's seemingly fair game to abuse travellers. He had shit years before the nonsense about what needs to happen before the devil returns.

 

[TomPNE94]

Scott Fitzgerald on the Bellew undercard a week on Saturday. Went to his watch his final sparring session this morning. He's a bit special.

 

[Master D]

Sounds like it's going to be AJ v Wlad in December. Huge test for Joshua, even though Wlad is almost finished it is still such a step up from anyone he's ever been in with. I saw something suggesting that Haye might be fighting at the Millennium on Dec 10th, surely they've done a deal and he's on the undercard of the big one.

 

[Master D]

What a robbery that was. Relikh went life and death with Ricky Burns and arguably won a close fight. Then he is given a 118-110, 116-112 x 2 Eddie Hearn special scorecards.
