The Boxing thread

[NipHolmes]

Delighted for Barker, he fought brilliantly after getting up to beat the count. It was really emotional at the end to, great story.

Kiko wants Donaire, think there's more money in that fight for him, plus he knows Frampton has his number. Hearn is saying Quigg is the mandatory apparently?? But Barry and Carl are saying its them..

Nobody wants Rigo I see haha

Donaire will beat Kiko. I dont know I think that in some cases the World bodies are messed up. IF you got KOd in a fight you shouldnt be able to fight for a World title within a year in my opinion more so after a KO beating. If it goes to the cards fair enough but not after getting beaten by a fighter 2 fights ago. How he jumped others is weird.

Quigg isnt mandatory for Kiko he fights Salinas for the WBA championship on the Haye v Fury undercard. Saying that I do think that Matchroom and Hearn would get Kiko v Quigg before any rematch with Frampton. Its a shame that Frampton and Barry split from Matchroom as Barry has messed up Framptons chances of getting a World title shot and a winable 1 at that. Hearns and Matchroom back there fighters while Warren has money problems. The worst move by Frampton teaming up with Warren.

Next fight may be but not a year. That's ridiculous. Pacquiao for instace was winning v JMM and out of nowhere got knocked out. He's a top fighter so if he was to say fight Bradely for his old title (which was robbed off him by the same **** that scored a draw this morning in Mayweather v Alvarez fight).

Frampton moved to warren purely due to the fact Warren is struggling to hold stars and instead put his cash into Frampton as he's more of a draw than any of his fighters and is already a star in the making. I dislike the fact that Sky is monopolised by Matchroom and the only alternatives are Warren or Hennessy. Boxing should be about talent but is instead about ticket sales and persona.

Garcia is a Philly fighter so he has plenty of heart. I don't rate Peterson so I see Garcia as being a major step up for Matthyse.

I'm only right once a year so I thought I'd crow a bit.

Garcia was amazing tonight though.

I underestimated Garcia massively tbf. Think it was a lot closer than the shite British commentators made it out to be (and the state of Matthyse's eye was key), but Garcia boxed with the perfect gameplan to get the win.

I think Khan will take heart from watching that because he was giving Garcia a proper schooling for 4 rounds before the KD.

I dont like it but I cant knock Matchroom. They are trying to make big shows and the fighters seem to be getting paid well enough while Warren with money problems wasnt paying his fighters on time. Frampton is taking a huge risk signing with Warren. As for ticket sales yes Frampton could well pack out anywhere in Ireland. Warren is clueless. He should be building up his Irish fighters and putting cards on here he has a few Irish fighters but is putting them on as suport on his British cards.

Billy Joe Saunders on soon if anyone is interested(check Wizwig Nutjob link)... rivalry with Chris Eubank Jr is funny as well:

Ken Norton-Dean Powell. Great respect form the crowd tonight.

RIP

Derry Mathews seems to fight regularly. Has been in some great fights looking forward to it. Is he fighting the guy who used to play for Sheffield utd???

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

If you had the opportunity to make a card for a "Best of British" boxing night at the Etihad what matches would you put on?

Obviously you can include foreign fighters but the emphasis should be on putting the big British and Irish stars on one card.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Proud moment for the Smith family tonight. Callum next?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Might sound terrible, but Woodhouse is quite clearly not up to that level. Good effort and very brave of him - just not good enough. Didn't realise he had lost 5 already!

 

[Tragic meat van guy]

any idea what time frampton is fighting tonight?

According to Ladbrokes Frampton fights at 10.

 

[Tragic meat van guy]

nice one pal

 

[leighton]

Frampton with a good solid 6th round stoppage World Title fight next hopefully.

Kell brooks not so special tbh

Good boxer. Just not top level.

Well done Kell Brook. Hatton's tormentor just dismantled.

Agreed

Of course; it is a Bluemoon forte to dismiss anything/anyone that is a success.

Give the lad a chance eh before dismissing him. When he's been beaten as many times as Hatton or Khan, then suggest he's not top level.

When he climbs in the ring with the calibre of fighter Hatton regularly did I'll listen to you.


You can have Khan though ;.)

He hasn't earned that right, yet, to enter the ring with the fighters Hatton did, but he might. No point in folk attempting to discredit his achievements so far, which is what we have seen on here tonight. It is, however, unfortunate the fight with Devon Alexander didn't materialise.
