Just watched IFL interview with Fury. Feel for him. I like it when he's himself more and not playing up. Really hope he comes back. Late with the stoppage wasn't he? The lad had clearly gone well before the ref stepped in. Devastating work from Kovalev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastating work from Kovalev. Yeah, was surprised it wasn't called on the 2nd knockdown at the end of the first. What was with the crowd? It looked like a small venue but they said Madison Square Garden? Some good fights to be made at that weight. Badou Jack fights at that weight now. Maybe Adonis Stevenson could show up more than once per year. Shame we've not got much British interest amongst all the eastern Europeans and Americans.

Big fat Terry O'Connell would have called that off way before. And rightly so. Kovalev's punches sounded heavy. Yeah, some good fights to be had now. Just watched that IFL interview with Tyson. Either he's not getting his license back or be's bankrupting UKAD. Can only see one outcome. Or maybe they will give him a two year ban, time already served. And he accepts it. Just can't see that scenario happening. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The welterweight division is the best in the world, but it's one of the least active. US promotions are rubbish. Errol Spence has only fought three times in two years, and it will be eight months since his last fight against Brook when he faces Lamont Peterson in January, another who has only fought once since October 2015. Khan is off the radar. Keith Thurman has no fights planned since facing Danny Garcia last March, likewise Danny Garcia hasn't fought since March nor does he have an opponent named. He, also, has only fought 3 times since August 2015. Shawn Porter has a decent resume with Brook, Thurman, Broner and Berto as 4 of his last 6 opponents. But his recent win against Adrian Granados came 7 months after the Berto fight and it will probably be another 7 months until he fights again. The whole set-up in the US is terrible.

You can't get excited about them. Have to wait too long between fights. The excitement from one fight should carry fans into the next. Can't do that with a fight every 7 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC1983 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Channel 5 has a few fights from Leicester. Joe Hughes up next fighting for a European title. He has a physical condition where his right hand side of his upper body is not as fully grown as his left.. His left arm is 2 inches longer than his right and he can't fully turn his right hand over which affects his hooks and uppercut. He's up against a Swedish fighter. Away to start now.

Bris Vegas Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 A shame how Cotto ended his career with a defeat. Similar to Pacquiao, seems to have extended his career unnecessarily and didn’t allow himself to finish it with a win. Still, a great fighter who won four world titles at multiple weights. Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is next weekend. Potential fight of the year. Seth's left foot and Alph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably barely get a pub full of viewers from the UK sadly. I've never seen Rigondeaux fight. Just highlights of his career. Seen Lomachenko though and he doesn't do boring.

Bellew v Fury would be a joke, Bellew looked bloated v Haye and is no way a HW. Groves v Eubank Jr is the fight that I can’t wait for, a real 50/50.

Styles are great, the stamina v the power, the jab v the uppercuts. Don't know who to support. The atmosphere will be brilliant, the build up should be. Hopefully English gets involved. I love an off-tangent news conference while everone's waiting for him to pick the perfect 4 syllable word. Oh, and how could i forget Kalle chewing his nut off in the middle of it.

Must admit, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the thought of them going through another build up. It got a bit boring the last tine. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just the Theatre at MSG - the Ice Hockey was in the main arena. Probably 1500 in attendance. First fights I've seen live (undercard was massive - must have been 9 fights), enjoyed it, despite the number of Yanks who can't handle a beer and have no concept of banter. Was very surprised the ref left it so late with the stoppage - seemed to want to see Shabranskyy lifted off his feet. Kovalev's power was impressive. A couple of really questionable decisions by the judges in the earlier fights slightly soured it, but got to witness the great Michael Buffer in full flow.

Bris Vegas Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Currently watching Loma vs Rigo. I can’t see how Rigo can win this. Loma just is too big for him. Can see it being a wide points victory after only 3 rounds gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Rigo quits. You can’t blame him, he just couldn’t win. He didn’t have the power to cause Loma any problems at all. After 3 rounds you knew he just couldn’t win. Weight difference made it impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
