Alph Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I've just seen the interview they got the headline from. Hilarious. He says anyone is welcome to his fights. But he's going to a country with laws that you have to abide by. He's not fighting for any cause except his own. He's not wearing a cape for any community. Just wants his belts back. And they have the headline.. "Anthony Joshua dismisses Saudi Arabia death penalty for homosexuals and said you can still watch his fight on TV" Impressive. Do you have to be a Bamford to work for The Sun or just be really good at pretending to be one? Also, do you justify it at night by saying you're just doing your job? ?

I'm going to watch for the spectacle, but I do kind of hope KSI wins. Bubbles and Alph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 KSI v Logan Paul being a main boxing event supported by a top promoter and real serious fighters is a bit like Man City playing Liverpool but instead of the players it's 11 fans v 11 fans It's undermining the sport. It's sport but it's serious sport and the athletes who have put in years of dedication and are actually the most skilled people in their trade should be the stars. But Eddie Hearn has been losing the plot and blindly chasing gold ever since DAZN got going. If he was in charge of football you'd have the PL play games abroad.

Alph Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Errol Spence flipped his Ferrari without a seatbelt on. "Expected to live"... Tyson is in WWE?! That's where I thought Wilder belonged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Feel sad about Errol Spence Jnr. Brilliant fighter and if anyone saw him fight Porter last week then how can anyone say it isn't tragic. But you go blazing down the street like that and the only people you can really feel sorry for is those out there with him that are in danger. Good luck to him though. I'm guessing his fighting days are done. ? Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Speaking of tragic, just came across this on the Beeb site. Patrick Day has passed away after suffering a brain injury in a fight against Charles Conwell. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/50066825 This after Dadashev and Santillan passed died two days apart back in the summer. Hard to know what can be done really. I think a few years back there was a groundswell for more heavily padded gloves but I think some studies indicated this might exacerbate brain injuries rather than than reduce their likelihood. It's a tough old game, is boxing. Thoughts go out to Conwell too. Horrible position to find yourself in. Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thrilling night so far. Price doing what he always does. Fights like a small man. Like him a lot but if there's one person you don't fight small against it's Chisora. Chisora is a horrible opponent. Tough, shows no signs of hurt, huge overhand shots... he'll walk onto anything you ask him to but you have to take him walkies. Good fight. Price only ever good for 4 rounds. Burns and Selby was good fun. I had it 116-113 Selby. Really good scrap and all rounds but 1 that Burns dominated were close. Selby just busier. Okolie was crap to watch as always. Try Judo or something. Can't stand him Benn isn't going to the top. Now Taylor v Prograis has everything needed to be a thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 117-112 for Taylor isn't fair. Prograis was brilliant and a draw wouldn't have been unfair. Great fight. Amazing fighters. Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen the fight but I thought Canelo would win. Kovalev isn't the fighter he once was. Ever since the first Ward loss he's looked a softer touch. I know he's a cheat and he hand picks his opponents, Canelo, but he's a phenomenal fighter. Granite chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with a lot of what you’ve said in that post, but this is the thing I have the biggest issue with. Of course, they haven’t spent their whole lives dedicated to boxing, but they’ve been living the lives of professional boxers for months now. No drinking, eating properly, training multiple times a day and getting in serious shape. I know very little about boxing so I won’t have any idea of the standard they’re at, but I do know that they’ve both worked extremely hard for this. It’s all anyone is talking about on YouTube at the minute. dcfcfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really engaging bloke that you can tell loves the sport. And to qualify my earlier post, I'd have exactly the same opinion as you re KSI vs Logan Paul if it was football.
