Gemmill 44872 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I see Amir Khan got his bell rung last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21921 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I didn't see it. Apparently he was well ahead on points but that's always the danger fighting such a bigger man - particularly with Kahn's dodgy chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I like Canelo a lot but he needs to defend his middleweight belt against an actual middleweight, and not jnr middleweights and welterweights at barely 155lbs, I hope the GGG fight comes off, he's a true middleweight with a punch to match. Props to Khan for taking the fight, not sure I think he was winning at the time but he was certainly competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21921 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 an absurd suggestion from two of the biggest hype builders in the fight game. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/may/09/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-fight-boxing-ufc?CMP=twt_gu i'd be tuning in in the unlikely event it ever came off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 but his Glass Jaw again proved to be his undoing. needs to stay in his correct weight division and see how he goes there. he can box, but he can't take a hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 His loss had nowt to do with his chin. He was blowing out of his arse before the end of round 2 and was manhandled on the floor by a bigger man He wouldn't get out of the 3rd round against Mayweather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30609 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Who the fuck is paying money to actually attend this shit? This fella is falling to the floor at the very threat of a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I was surprised at the outrage on Twitter at the whole David Haye farce, anyone with an ounce of boxing knowledge knew that was coming. Didn't the tickets go on sale before the opponent was even announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Despite the recent revival in the division the dearth of talent in the heavyweight division is still pretty shocking. Going into the fight Gjergjaj was 29-0 with 21 KOs and Boxrec had him ranked at no.23 in the World. IN THE FUCKING WORLD I know he'd fought nobody of note but the only reason it went past the 1st is because Haye took his foot off the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35079 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Think Haye would struggle to make the cruiserweight limit anyway. But aye, I think he beats Bellew either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35079 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's a terrible idea like. Can't help but wonder if some big name is going to announce they want to compete because it makes no sense otherwise to bring this in at such a late stage. Top pros will either by in a training camp with a fight coming up or not in camp and overweight (even if they look after themselves they'll still be at least a stone heavier than their normal fighting weight you'd have thought). So that would pretty much rule all of them out unless they had some prior knowledge this was going to happen. And it seems to have taken most people in the boxing game by surprise.

Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 it has happened it's been passed, it's just whether or not any of them go for the qualifying That's what I mean though, just because it can happen doesn't mean it will. Why would a pro suddenly stick a head guard on and start boxing for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he's bottled out of fighting GGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No shock really everyone seems to be petrified of taking him on, it's almost like a Tyson level where his reputation before he gets near a ring has lads crapping themselves , in saying that he'd KO Canelo To quote Ricky Hatton, if you found GGG in bed with your missus, you'd tuck him in Also, to be fair to Alvarez, he's a natural light-middleweight. His last few fights have been at the 155lbs catchweight and light-middleweight's limit it only one pound less than that anyway. It looked like an intriguing fight though but now it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Although I agree with your assessment of how it would turn out. Hopefully we'll see Andre Ward fight with Kovalev as that's the other fight I've really been looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
