The Boxing Thread

[Master D]

Spence v Porter is the best fight I've seen this year.

Scratch this. It was then replaced by Taylor v Prograis.

And has just been replaced today by Inoue v Donaire. Unbelievable fight where both men were hurt and could have been stopped but showed granite chins and heart. A younger Donaire would probably have beaten Inoue.

I know these guys are paid a fortune for the WBSS but they deserve every bit of it when you see these 2 finals over the past week.

Disgraceful cards again in the Smith fight. How is Terry O'Connor still allowed to be involved in boxing? There was a round or 2 either way in that fight and any close result would have been acceptable probably. Smith needs to stay away from Canelo on that performance, Canelo would take him apart.

Wilder was outboxed again and basically hit Ortiz with a big one and that was it. It's some weapon to have. He did nothing the whole fight and lost every round until then.

Fury man.

A shot from the gods from Povetkin. My god.

Whyte is fucked now, totally and utterly fucked. Should have taken that AJ fight last year when he had the chance, big fights have gone now for him.

Heavyweight boxing in a nutshell. One punch changes a career.

 

[Gilly?]

Awesome drop of the shoulder and that uppercut through the middle was huge. Always considered Whyte to have a good chin but got well and truly meringued. Slowing the pace a tad in the fifth was the wrong move.

Respect for Usyk, gave Joshua a proper schooling. AJ seems a good bloke but has been totally overhyped to line Matchroom’s pockets, he is more of a body builder then skilled fighter. To have any chance of staying relevant he needs to focus on his boxing rather then constant media promotions/ads etc and no more embarrassing ring walks like that Apollo Creed bollocks. Has to use his size and go for a knockout in the rematch, otherwise he’ll be easily beaten again and be finished at the top level. Fury’s movement and boxing IQ along with his size make any all British clash a foregone conclusion imo, at this point a Usyk-Fury fight would actually be more interesting.

Btw boxing is as ever annoyingly inconsistent when it comes to scorecards, how the fuck did the ref score that as Campbell Hatton win? Daylight robbery. Also for one of the judges to score the Usyk-Joshua fight as 115-113 isn’t great, no way did Joshua win 5 rounds. 3 for me, at a push. It’s about time something was done as home bias and corrupt judges ruin the sports credibility.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury Undisputed Heavyweight fight has been officially signed.

 

[kieran_vale]

On the subject of Fury, nothing like a bit of good old fashioned Boxing corruption on the scorecards. I'm sorry but there is no way in hell Fury won that. Smacks of protecting the undisputed fight more than anything.

 

[kieran_vale]

AJ just got the arse kicking of a lifetime from Dubois. I don’t think there’s any coming back from that.

No probably just fight in Saudi for the money ?

Wouldn't recommend the re-match clause. If he wants to carry on milking the cash cow then Chisora's always available if he fancies it. That or finally fight the even more washed up Wilder.

Yeah my guess is assuming he carries on like he said get a knock over job with a Chisora match or maybe a Whyte rematch then go for the cash out fight with Fury once he’s likely lost the second time to Usyk. Think it’d be a bit shitty on Dubois to get tied down in a rematch clause, ridiculous the defending champion should have to be forced into that also.
