Inoue is really quite impressive. For the first five rounds he looked like he was winning on points but then he just seemed to take it up a level - or maybe he is carrying on at the same rate as his opponents tire. The finishing combination was just text book - problem for him is where to go, we've seen time and again that power punchers lose their unique advantage when they go up through the weights but he's cleaned up here so hard to see much attractive to him or the promoters.

Hes quality! Its a shame the lighter weights dont get the recognistion they deserve in the main stream media and therefore the money! If he was welter or above hed be a household name around the world, unbelievable fighter!

You always have to question fighters who can jump through weight classes. You can’t just pack on 20lbs of lean muscle without juicing when you are already a peak condition athlete.

Canelo’s PED use was brushed under the carpet. You can’t go from 154lbs to 175lbs without putting on fat and looking softer. Impossible.

Pacquiao as amazing as he is, is another case. Can’t go from 122 to 147+ while still maintaining low body fat. Impossible without enhancements. 

Makes my blood boil because this isnt bodybuilding! If they paralyze or kill someone because there using PEDs and fight a clean fighter! Should do prison time! Probably would tbh! Disgusting juicing in any combat sport imo!

Youd like to give them the benefit of the doubt but you could make a case for most juicing! Why did mayweather always fight in vegas? Fighters who finish strongly, thats a sign of PEDs, so froch etc! Boxers only fighting, once or twice a year, is it so they can cycle a PED and have it out there system for training camp! 
 

You look at athletes now compared to 20 years ago! Is it all because of sports science? Or are the "supplements" getting better and people know how to use them better? Vada is the best anti doping tester tho!

20k already renewed! Second phase next week!

Viktor johansson if we could afford him, he was there when warne was manager! Hes got a release claus but not sure how much!

Garcia tested positive for PEDs 🙈

To get popped for PEDs in this day and age there either stupid or it was a genuine mistake! Either one shouldnt happen! 
 

And i mean stupid because theyve got caught! You cant just juice up and not get caught! They have to micro dose and if they do it properly its hard for vada to catch them! Theres a really good podcast on boxing news about it! Well worth a listen! Its rife in pro boxing! Another reason i prefer the anateurs lol!

He obviously splits opinion! Watch him get us flying next season, everyone gets behind him and then he will be poached by another team! It would be looools and gutting at the same time!! 😬🙈🐏🫣

Its one i screen grabbed from social media but this photo says it all for me! I going to get it on a canvas or get it blown up and framed! 
 

Up the Rams 🐏🐏

Its been said already! But proper football fans sum up league 1 for me! 
 

Orient fans singing, "national league champions youll never sing that" followed by "league 2 champions, youll never sing that" was a moment ill remember! 
 

Love watching Derby and England but over the last few years the amount of money in football is really getting to me! Price of tickets, kits etc etc! Ill spare you the rant as you all know exactly what i mean! 
 

The games in danger of imploding and clubs in the lower and non leagues are getting screwed more and more! Its sad!!

If we score early we will batter these 4-0 NML

If it goes past 60 mins and is still 0-0 then 😬! Can see it finishing 0-0 and being nervy af like cambridge 2nd half! Thatll do tho!!

Up the Rams 🐏🐏⚽️🐏⚽️

FOOTBALL DAY!!!!!! 🐏🐏⚽️⚽️🍻🍺

How many will be sober enough to actually see the match? 😂

It's a pity we can't get a few more building the atmosphere inside the ground, rather than in local hostelries. I take it some people only know how to support the team when they are half cut? 

I don't drink as much nowadays but I might have a few Saturday! I used to think there were 44 players on the pitch until recently. Then 22 magically disappeared if you closed one eye 🤪

Waterfall is usually open early! Babbington or standing order defo is!

Wonder if there will be any derby fans in the away end lol? 🤔🐏🐏

Havent watched the haney fight yet but with the tank garcia, there were rumours that garcia cracked a rib in camp, thats why he couldnt get up from the body shot! Not sure how true it is tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve lost a lot of interest in boxing since the decline of the welterweight division. The heavyweight scene peaked interest for a while but since Saudi came about the prized fighters are just holding everything up. 

Boxing was better when Eddie was just UK based and we had decent UK shows.

His expansion into the US and move away from Sky affected UK boxing in a bad way and then the Saudi money has made it worse, despite the Matchroom/Queensbury love-in. 

Yeah i agree! Loved that welterweight era of floyd, pacquia, hatton, cotto, mosley, marquez, de la hoya, canelo when he was down there, probs some names i forgot! I prefer the lighter weights, fast, technical, i myself am that kinda weight!

Theres a few knocking about just under welter, tank, keyshawn davis looks like he will be quality, garcia, haney, lopez, taylor! Theres the rematch with bud and spence!

I agree, i cant stand hearn and frank anymore! I cringe now whenever i hear them! I know boxings always been a business but ffs! Hearn revived british boxing with froch n aj but now hes just followed the money to saudi! 
 

As for heavyweights, ive never been a big fan personally, plodding and thudding lol! I like watching fury as he moves and boxes like a lighter fighter! 
 

Theres the amateurs to look forward to in paris this summer too!

Yeah got it all confirmed! Its all fine but i always have that small worry at the back of my head that on the first game of the season i put my card in the turnstile and it doesnt work lol!!

I did mine last month but i always worry this time of year that it hasnt gone through or somethings gone wrong and i loose my seat lol!

🙈

If we had ebou from the start and not so many injuries we would have won the league imo! 🐏⚽️🐏⚽️

Has everyone got used to the safe standing now? I remember some grumpiness when it started.

I like it! My only gripe is you cant walk across the seats anymore to get out after the game! I sit on the back row!

The west stand upper next to the south stand have been doing there bit too! 
 

I guess it would have been best to have done all this when pride park was opened! Having the south stand as a full stand with vocal standing (obviously not allowed at the time) and a vocal support next to the away fans further along the east stand!

The Rams fans in the East Stand on the other side of the away fans do our bit in creating the atmosphere.
