The Boxing thread

9/1 for KO is a promotion no doubt still 4/1 best odds but you should get over 3/1 from any.

It is Joshua who is odds on still.

I think that's crazy. I like Joshua, but he's not a head mover and likes to try and bang when his ego lets him.

I'm not sure that normal boxing fans understand Ngannou's actual KO power; it's vicious. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if FN loses and even more so if he doesn't get that KO.

This is a fight that would retire AJ.
 
These are not the type of fights that I agree with as I'm a massive boxing fan (Well I used to be)...It's gone to fuck.

If Joshua loses tonight to Ngannou then he should retire, I couldn't care less what power Ngannou has, This is only his second ever boxing match at the age of what 37 or whatever...

Joshua should be taking this guy out.

He already beat Fury and had a shit decision go against him, he'll have to beat Joshua well to win the fight because it'll be stacked against him.

Boxing judges are horrendous most weeks whether it's Taylor v Catteral, Pacquiao v Bradley, Chavez v Whittaker ect you're correct tonight will be no different because they all know the big money fight is AJ v Fury.

Fury was abysmal on the night and he fought how he trained for his 6 week period, Nor arsed and felt all he had to do was turn up. He actually missed training days in that camp.

If Joshua prepared how he should for his training camp and has his head switched on he'll take out Ngannou.

I counted the last boxer to leave the ring mention his excellency 6 times in his post match babble, boxing looks like it's been bought hook line and sinker mate.

Boxing is finished. I've knocked it on the head completely. My young lad has been boxing 5 years now he's 9 years old and even he won't watch the fight tonight.

The guy who owns the boxing gym he goes to doesn't allow them to talk about YouTube fights and advises them not to it.

He's in his 60's and he's proper old school, He loses his shit if Jake Paul is mentioned ect haha

I was never a purist type of boxing fan but loved the American middleweight fights and ours, enjoyed Roy Jones at his peak and even the Thai Galaxy brothers fighting on fight night.

For the real fans of boxing it must be sad watching dodgy results and freak shows taking over.

Are women/girls allowed in the gym?

As you mentioned even American fights, For example Crawford v Spence was last year I was absolutely buzzing for that fight two of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet...It rarely got a mention in the build up to the fight, All the talk was about Jake Paul v Some ex MMA guy...That's where boxing is at now on its knees for boxing fans but on the rise massively financially for promoters and boxers as they all know today's society wants to watch these types of fights like tonight.

I'll watch Sheff Wed v Leeds instead (on mute because Hinchcliffe is on commentary) ;)

Enjoy the fight anyway of you're watching have a good one.
 
Zhang Parker is okay
Vargas Ball is decent

These weird freak fights are what the world wants though, same as how mental it was that KSI and his mates managed to sell out West Ham for their football kick about.

The gym is ran by father and son and a woman (she's not family).

For Example:
The father has kids from ages 4-11 early mornings on Saturday/Sundays, Weekdays Mon/Wed/Fri...

I have never seen the father train the girls/women boxing since I've been going. The son and the woman trainers have all the girls/women anytime I've been there, I genuinely don't know why that is or why he does it that way unless he doesn't agree with women's boxing I don't know as I'm only there for when my little fella has training.

Don't get me wrong I often seen him having a laugh and chats with the girls/women and they have a great turnout, He's never involved in the actual training of the female boxing training.
 
The expected schedule I saw had the Zhang Vs Parker fight on about now.

Seems like we're about a fight behind that then?

It was the golden rule when was a kid. No women/girls were allowed in in case it caused showing off when sparing, different times though. No one started before 6 though, and you had to wait until 11 fight competitively. Most started at 8 or 9 at the earliest.

Might have to swap the beer for tea at this rate!

Just watching the interview. You can tell Francis isn't a boxer. He's far too humble! Hard not to like him to be honest. I liked his cheeky joke about the elbows not being allowed as well.

As more of an mma man myself, Francis has always been this way. Seems a lovely bloke but may be the scariest heavyweight bar Tom Aspinall (maybe Jon Jones) on the planet. Rewatching his win over Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem today really makes me feel he’ll win tonight. Such a good fighter. Really looking forward to it. (The Overeem one)
