The Boxing thread

Tell me that wasn’t Nigel fucking Farage?

Was Dereks cut man.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Wasn't even close imo. Joyce offered nothing other than 20 stone of blubber waddling around hoping that Chisora would fall over.
The boxer won.

I’m half watching City and half the boxing and glanced over and thought I saw Farage hugging him

 

[Lavinda Past]

Joe Joyce... Makes losing look like a positive outcome. Thick as mince.

 

[citytill1die84]

How bad is Joyce lol

18 months ago he was a threat to Fury and he's just lost to Derek Chisora lol

 

[Stephen230]

Couple of interesting looking fights on this Barnsley bill.

Not sure why they’re having it in a football ground though?

The whole point of a stadium fight is because you can’t fit all the people who want to go in an Arena.

This set up looks awful for all but a few hundred right in front of the ring.

That first round of McKenna Laws was MENTAL

Just watching the boxing at Barnsley's ground. It's kinda surprising that the Etihad has never staged a major fight, given all the concerts that have been held there l. I guess having the arena in the city centre probably goes a long way to explaining that. And of course, the Co-op arena next door probably means that the stadium won't get any of those fights.

Didn't Hatton fight there?

I'll bow to your greater knowledge. I honestly don't remember that. But, assuming he did, is that all there's been?

I can't think of any more, mate. There has not really been another Manc fighter with a big enough profile to fill a stadium, since Hatton. Crolla filled the MEN, but he's a rag.

He did mate..
The Etihad that is..

Juan lazcano.

Edit I was there and I've got vague memories of pauly malignaggi on same bill and having to cut his long hair off in the ring.

 

[jimharri]

Has there ever been a major fight that both Sky and BT/TNT both screened, like the Joshua vs Dubois bout on saturday? I can’t think of one.

Fury / Usyk was.

 

[jimharri]

Fury / Usyk was.

Was it? Thanks.

 

[Lost in space]

Anybody heard any truth in Dubois dad being the reason behind Don Charles not being around this week? Heard rumors that Dan is under his old man's control and Charles is not down with that.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Sky are bigging up this fight as something special. It should be a routine win for Joshua. If it wasn’t on iptv I wouldn’t even consider watching it as the undercard doesn’t fill me with excitement either

 

[SiMCFC]

Split decision my arse, Buatsi battered him there

 

[jimharri]

Why do some boxers have dreadful taste in music? That ringwalk "song" that Denny used was awful. As is Sheeraz's, with that rapper walking beside him. Remember Chris Eubank's choice? "Simply the Best", by Tina Turner. Classic song.

Eubank was a great showman. He loved winding the often hostile crowd up.
