    Breazeale showed great heart, but he barely threw a meaningful punch all night. He just acted like a punching bag. Not knocking him or AJ's decision to fight him, but I'm not sure how AJ can learn from this.
    I want to see his defence really tested. He has amazingly quick hand speed for his size, but I want to see how quickly he can move his feet and hips under pressure.
    I'd like to see him take on someone like Wach or Pulev. Can't see Chisora being a good fight, he'd just treat it like the Tyson Fury fight and be another sitting duck taking shots.
    I know everyone wants to see him in with Wilder, Fury and Haye, but after those three there is nothing else out there. Need to let those fights bubble for a bit.

    I am....for Groves v Murray mainly.
    Getting so annoyed with the 'hardcore' telling us casuals that it's not a box office event etc and the fights are uneven.
    17 quid for me, for what I consider hours of entertainment, looks good value compared to Norwich away. So I'm paying for it.
    And I'm hoping for a Groves win due to Froch and his Notts County supporting dad letting him support Forest, and beating Groves, twice. Always supported Gorves since then

    Ctrl C and then Ctrl V my words.....into notepad, or Word if you're rich...this feud will be bigger than any that ronnierondale could muster.
    So big in fact, a podcast showdown will be recorded by summer's end.
    I hope you likes to post ratio falls below 1/1, and you cry, you filthy gingerist!!!!!!!

    Fair play to Amir Khan he always has a go, never ducks anyone, i still havent decided if he's very brave or very stupid, maybe a bit of both.
    Something more concerning was the scorecards. Two judges having Canelo up on points who was scoring the fight Stevie Wonder? In my opinion Kahn was well up at the time if the knock out.

    Think walk out is around 2am. So, yeah, around 4 is probably right - once all the 1000 extra people have gotten out of the ring.

    GGG vs. Wade is Saturday.I am a huge GGG fan and think he will take care of business rather easily in this one.After that for him? Well has come he wants Canelo which would be an awesome fight imo.In regards to Canelo/Khan, I am taking Canelo in a close decision,should be a good fight.
    I never had much of a doubt Joshua would beat Martin; am curious on where Joshua goes from here.His mandatory is not that good.
    I am a huge Wlad fan and hopefully he can win against Fury this time.I think first time around Wlad was a bit hesitant at times,but I think he will have a better gameplan this time.
    Some great boxing coming up,can't wait.

    As you can tell I'm fairly new to this forum but i've read through this post with great interest, I think its wonderful on a football based forum that this type of subject is discussed.
    I was always lead to believe that as a man I should be the strong silent type, stiff upper lip, take everything in my stride, not let anything bother me. I went through life pretty happily with that outlook, no real emotional highs or lows just plodding along as most folk do.
    I was then involved in a head on car crash, which was no fault of my own, nothing I could do to avoid it, one second driving along listening to Ken Bruce, next second bang.
    This has changed me forever, mentally and physically. I sustained life changing physical injuries. I've adapted to them pretty well and hopefully after a couple more operations this year I'll have no more pain or the need for constant pain killers.
    But mentally, wow what a difference. Mrs, kids, mortgage, no income. I was self employed so entitled to bugger all. Savings soon disappear, help from family and friends soon disappears (although I'm incredibly grateful to them). Thats when the rot sets in, i was in pain that I couldn't describe and wouldn't wish on anybody, unable to sleep so just lay awake worrying about things, the stiff upper lip soon disappears and I was a quivering, anxious, worried, in agony shell of the man I used to be. Thought about ending it all, couldn't do it to my family. But was I better alive or a burden. I couldn't even wipe my own arse, shower or brush my teeth, She was cutting my food up and feeding me! I'm sure my Mrs never signed up for that 20+ years ago!
    I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress and as most types of treatment for this numb the nerves it was supposed to be the best thing for me to relieve some pain. Non of em worked, still in agony, still a nervous wreck, worried about everything. Strange side effects, some sexual ones as have been mentioned by others. No fun having a boner 24/7 and being able to go like a stallion when your falling to bits, wish i'd took em when i was 18 though.
    Wow I've just read back through this and didn't realise I'd rambled on so much, i do apologise. This brings me to my point though. Talk to people, for Gods (deity of ones choosing) sake, talk to someone, anyone. I saw a therapist, very sceptical at first, but it's great to get it of your chest. I've been lucky my Mrs, kids and close family have been amazing, I wouldn't have got through it without them, I'm a different person now, I cry watching supervet on the TV, I would never have done that before my accident as it wasn't the thing to do. And the thing that got me through it all was talking to people and expressing how I felt, not bottling things up and screaming out loud when I had to!
    It might not work for everyone, I can only give input from my experience, but it got me through the darkest days of my life. I'm still not fully recovered but I can see a bright light at the end of a very long dark tunnel.

    Find it hard to believe Klitshcko would lose on purpose. He's already a legendary heavyweight. 
    Fury is more than happy to talk Klitshcko up right now. "He nearly knocked me out twice" and his first day back at training in poor shape etc. It's him playing games again I'd bet on it. 
    Did anyone see the state of the fighter that Dave Ryan was supposed to fight? 
    Khan v Canelo soon isn't it? Be big hype around it and fair play to Khan for going looking for the Hollywood fights but I think Canelo will be comfortable. 
    Roll on the day when someone blasts that Billy Joe Saunders. Tit. Tyson and Peter Fury are sound but the whole lot of the rest I can't stand. That whole clique. "Travelling people". Fook off. 
    Why does no heavyweight ever mention Ortiz?
