Bris Vegas Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Alpha said: Josh Taylor v Ohara Davis is made. This fight could have been for world titles in a 2 years. Both really exciting fighters. Strong, clever, aggressive fighters. Ohara makes all his fights by being a twit on Twitter. I'd be surprised if the first meeting will be the last. It's on Channel 5 too I think. Should grab more boxing popularity if these two perform as they have so far Yeah, both have great potential a loss for either wouldn't actually be that bad as both have the ability to become world champions and it's a rematch which will be huge in some 4 or 5 years time. Degale vs Groves and BJS vs Eubank Jr both would be bigger now than when they fought a few years ago. Everybody loves a domestic showdown, it's such a shame some look like never getting made. I want to see... Groves vs Degale II (Callum Smith to fight both too) Eubank Jr vs BJS II Brook vs Khan Brook vs Liam Smith at 154 Fury vs Joshua Bellew vs Dillian Whyte Lee Selby vs Carl Frampton (Scott Quigg to fight Selby, doubt Frampton would want a rematch) Edited May 31, 2017 by Bris Vegas Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Brook to top up Khans bank account. Why does Khan get to hang around for superfights without getting in line. I don't like that guy. BJS needs to just fight. Anyone. Someone. His last outing was poor. Another guy I don't like. What weight does Eubank want to fight at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Davies is a complete bellend. I hope Taylor smashes those stupid beats headphones off his head. Watched Davies a few times now and don't think he is anything special, I've got Taylor winning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What weight does Eubank want to fight at? Two fights ago I completely agreed, Brook needs Khan as much as Khan needs Brook now and its a great fight for us fans. BJS is completely overrated and I believe in a rematch Eubank Jr beats him that's joint top of my wish list alongside Groves Degale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Here's one fight I'm struggling to be excited for, AJ vs Wlad rematch. Joshua said recently he paid him too much respect, as was evident when every time Joshua let his hands go Wlad was hanging on. Think AJ is more aggressive and stops him early second time around. Rather see him in vs Wilder or Parker. Keep collecting those belts. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ward v Kovalev II later tonight. I'm going for a UD Ward. If he can survive the first six rounds without a knockdown he will take it 116-112 or around that. Kovalev has the power to beat him, but he can't afford to drop his aggression. He has to be on the front foot all the time if he plans to win on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) What the hell did I just watch? Why did the referee stop it? Kovalev looked hurt, but give him a standing count and allow him to continue. I don't understand why the referee stopped it... The fight was dirty on the inside, both were punching behind the head and pushing in close. Thought Ward pulled off the better shots, but Kovalev's aggression and solid jab allowed him to take at least the first three rounds and possibly the sixth. I had it Kovalev, Kovalev, Kovalev, Ward, Ward, Kovalev, Ward, Ward - the last being a 10/8 if you allow a standing count meaning Ward starts round nine one point ahead. I felt Kovalev was breathing heavily and would have fancied Ward to close out the final four rounds, but it was still a rubbish decision. A couple looked like lowblows.

Bris Vegas Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Just catching replays of the final round and the one before that. Ward was coming on strongly while Kovalev looked to have gassed again. He wasn't throwing fast combos anymore, he wasn't pressing forward and he clearly didn't trust the ref's judgement of the body shots. I still think the stoppage was stupid, but from then on you could only see one winner so I guess while the ending was controversial, the result of a Ward win would have been inevitable. On a side note, Rigondeaux's win was a farce. Expect it to be a DQ as he clearly hit after the bell after previously grapping and punching which is illegal anyway.

Alph Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Really enjoyed Kovalev/Ward. Kovalev certainly bagged some early rounds but I thought Ward was always manipulating the fight. He made Kovalev graft hard and then took control. Quite a dirty fight. Did Ward lowblow him earlier on when Kovalev doubled over? Didn't see replays of those. In the final round he caught him heavy at least once. Saw the replay of that. The lowblow that stopped it I've not seen a replay of. But Kovalev was in big trouble anyway. I think however many times we do this, Kovalev's power and aggression will win him some early rounds. Ward has the skill to survive these rounds and most importantly he makes sure Kovalev graft while slipping in some shots to slow him down too. Going into those middle rounds Ward... who can beat him? He's a fortress. I think Ward fought a near perfect fight and he's got Kovalev sussed now. AmericanRam and Bris Vegas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Horn beats Pacquiao by UD. 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111. I had Pacquiao controlling the fight and certainly landing more shots than Horn. I really don't know what fight one of the judges was watching, that 117-111 score is a disgrace. Having said that, it's good to have another welterweight on the scene. Pacquiao should retire for good now, while Horn has opened up a lot of doors to fight some of the American boys in Thurnan, Spence, Garcia and Porter. Boxing will always be controversial when a decision is ultimately left up to three old men, all with differing opinions on how a fight should be scored. Aggression won this fight according to them. When you think of it like that, you have to question how Mayweather has remained unbeaten his entire career.

AmericanRam Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Ridiculous decision, Pacquiao easily won imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Similarly to when Pacquiao lost to Timothy Bradley (another outrageous decision), I fully expect there to be a rematch between these two in December or something. Part of me feels this is just one of those big set-ups where a controversial decision allows for a money-spinning rematch. The fact Pacquiao complained to the high heavens about the Mayweather result (a fight he clearly lost) yet is now conveniently respecting this decision (a fight he pretty clearly won) doesn't quite add up for me. I love boxing, but it's a business after all and it often makes a mockery of the sport. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Josh Taylor v Ohara Davis tomorrow. Been a great build up and I think it's going to be a great fight. Probably deserves way more viewers than it will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the fight itself, I will go with Taylor winning by UD. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure advisors on both sides would have told them to go off and get titles and fame before going in together for possibly a PPV fight. I can't call it. I think Ohara has the power but Josh Taylor punches to the body so well. Either could lose their self control... can't wait. Because you went with Taylor I'll go with Ohara in the 10th by stoppage AmericanRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
