The Boxing thread

Martinez really stepped it up after the bogus knock down. His punches are so fast and accurate. At times Macklin must have felt like he was fighting 3 people, he just couldn't see the punches coming.

Harry regarding Frampton it was a keep busy fight. The kid has been calling out Munroe and Quigg since the end of last year and Quigg last summer the kid is a speical talent. His second fight this year a keep busy fight. Quigg has been offered a lot of chances to fight Frampton but it seems Joe Gallagher and Ricky Hatton doesnt want Quigg fighting Frampton. He will more than likely fight Kiko next if Quigg and Munroe are fighting each other. He has the power theres no doubting it and the gym he is in is great for him. He spars a lot of rounds for years they have got him good sparing when he started out he helped Scott Booth in the build up to his World title and he was holding his own with him back then. He often trains with the Irish am fighters in Olympic Bronze medal winner Paddy Barnes in his gym he gets some great sparing from a quicker boxer with brilliant boxing skills. If he qualifies for London he has a medal chance and expect him to turn pro after London as well.

Cheers mate, I suppose that makes sense, but still would have liked to have seen a better class of opponent than that though, Frampton's lightyears ahead in every department, I bet he's had far harder sparring sessions, even taking everything into consideration I'm not too sure what he has gained or learnt from this particular fight, but hey ho.
Cheers bud.

Harry thats the thing he has been looking for better fights but a lot of people are avoiding the fight. In the UK and Ireland they could have him in with Willie Casey who boxed for a World title last year , Munroe , Kiko and Quigg they are trying to get the better fights for him but with his punch power he is hard to match in the UK and Europe. They were thinking about him going Stateside for a fight I think they were trying to get him on the undercard of the Macklin fight last night to build up a following stateside but it just didnt happen. This year if he isnt European champion I will be shocked by the end of the year.
 
What a crazy fight Kirkland vs Molina was. Molina dq'd after surely being up on the cards. My get out of jail card had 150 big ones on Kirkland.

Erik Morales in the ring now. Don't seeing winning but hope he does.
 
The score cards for Morales was all over the place last night I thought it was a closer fight. Saying that the right man won. Garcia caught Morales with some shot in the 11th round and that won the fight for him. I hope Morales calls it a day a true warrior glad Khan didnt get to fight him like he did against Barrera which was a joke as the 2 will go down as legends for the fights between the 2 over the years and the early classics with Manny.

Nice to see Sky showing the Jamie Kavanagh fight. I know his uncle and hes in the wildcard gym and in the build up to big Khan and Manny fights he gets to spar them for a couple of rounds. Only 21 if he can learn from the World champions in the gym over the years you just wouldnt know how far he will get. Lucky for him he signed with Golden Boy Promotions so we will see more of his fights on the undercards of there big fights in the coming year on Sky.
 
For anyone who's interested, the ABAs are live from the York Hall on BoxNation tonight. Yet another sporting event the fucking useless BBC used to cover, but doesn't seem bothered with any more. Just so long as there's money for the boat race and endless hours of millionaire tosspots walking around an F1 grid.
Anyhow, my young mate Frazer Clarke is in the super-heavyweight final. He was 6ft 5in and 16 stone when he was 14, so it was almost impossible to match him. He is even bigger now but he is very inexperienced, so at just 20, these Olympics came to soon for him. But a very decent prospect and a thoroughly nice lad, part of the England elite squad.
He's up against a lad called Joyce who he fought last year and was beating on the computer until he suffered a freakish swelling to his eye which saw the bout immediately called off. I hope he can see the job out tonight.

Fury v Rogan should be entertaining if nothing else on C5 on Saturday night. Rogie is a true warrior but an old man now. Tyson is going to have to face Price sooner or later, he can't keep ducking him.
 
I bet he was cock of you school lol.

Seen a few clips of Fraser and he looks a very good prospect, all the tools are definitely there without a shadow of a doubt (reminds me a bit of Mark Breland actually), says he's up against Courtney Clift though ( Joyce is the name of his trainer, maybe you got mixed up bud ? )

Wish the lad well from me Longsight.

Haha, not a schoolmate of mine, Harry, I'm twice his age! He's my mate from Burton-on-Trent's lad.

Lol twice his age but I bet still younger than me, I'd have kept quiet and hung onto that for a while and kidded myself it was a genuine compliment ;-) Cheers for the link bud btw, I've got 'Boxnation' and was looking for something to do this evening and this fills it in quite nicely, cheers.

Apologies aswell, Joe Joyce so you're right, I must have read an older piece.

Thats surprising that the ABAs are on tonight. When from tomorrow on the final Olympic Quailifers are on in Turkey. 26 places are up for grabs this weekend. Hopefully Ireland will get at least 3 to 4 fighters to London from this. Joe Ward , Paddy Barnes and Ross Hickey will hopefully get to London but wouldnt be surprised if more than those 3 make it.

As for Fury v Big Roggie the fight should never have been made. There is a lot better fighters out there for Fury to fight. David Price and Mike Perez all should of been given the fight ahead of Roggie. I would love to see Roggie spark out Fury but thats not going to happen sadly. Fury will win inside 5 rounds come fight night.
