The Boxing thread

My source came good here is the Carl Frampton fight from last night up in Belfast. Put him in there with Scott Quigg now and he will blast the lad out of there.

Do you think he's good enough to win a world title Leighton? I don't know a lot about the super bantamweight division tbh, other than the Cuban lad Rigondeaux, Wilfredo Vazquez Jr and Caballero who lost last week. Any depth in that division?

If he keeps progressing the way he is he has every chance of winning a World title still early days. Yet to see him in any troble but he was a part of the Irish high preformace team won Irish am titles so he can box to a high standard but unlike others he has some power.

To be honest Super Bamtamweight has some bangers about I will start off at European level. Past European title winners Dunne , Kiko Martinez and Munroe also Booth 3 of the 4 have boxed for World titles with Dunne beating Caballero in the o2 in the fight of the year I was ringside that night a great atmosphere. All the top European fighters in this Division are from Ireland and the UK along with Kiko. Willie Big Bang Casey European title holder who is in line to fiight Rigondeaux and it could be set for Paddys week 17th of March. Then you would have both Booth and Munroe who both got beaten in World title fights this year. Next come Hyland , Quigg and now more than likely Frampton this weight division is buzzing here.

On the World level the worst champion out there would be Steve Monlitor who beat Booth. Nishioka who beat Munroe. Then the other champion is Ryol Li Lee who got a home town decision over the best Super Bamtamweight boxing out there Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym in both his losts he was done on the cards. He is a small Pacman in the making hard as nails went to Dublin and smashed Dunnes face in he is by far the best out there in this division tends to have to fight on the road a lot. The 2 champions in Japan wont leave so it leaves Monlitor as the easier option on World level. Not too sure about Rigo feel he will be banged out of it against Poonsawat if they ever boxed and if that fight took place in the US then Poonsawat would be a star. Below is his fight with Dunne very brutal.

I've actually seen Poonsawat a few times, thought he was a featherweight for some reason. Not really seen enough of him to make a judgement but Rigondeaux is someone I rate highly, brilliant technical boxer but not sure he has the power.

IF Rigondeaux V Casey gets made I will hopefully be heading down to watch the fight. Seems a bit light weight for this division I think Casey may well have a punchers chance to win the fight he has a come forward non stop style I dont know if Rigondeaux will be able to keep him off for all of the fight.

Have a look at Sky tonight if they show Ormond a Dublin lad who left Ireland for the US for a year and he was doing well out there Warren signed him up as soon as he came home so Warren seems to have high hopes for him but I have yet to see any of his fights. So I dont know what to expect from him. Knowing Warren he wouldnt throw away his money if he wasnt a decent contender or prospect.
 
Ricky to win by late stopage or on points. I think it is shocking he is not fully professional Warren would want to get the dosh out. His only World Champion he promotes still works in a sports shop it seems fucked up to me.
 
Burns fight was half decent. Still think he gets knocked out as soon as he fights anybody remotely close to world class level. Presumably Warren knows this, so he will do his best to keep him away from danger for a little while.

In other Boxing related news, Alexander Dimitrenko fainted before his Heavyweight fight with Albert Sosnowski. The fight was cancelled. Odd.
 
Did anyone see the Nonito Donaire fight? Looks like he could dominate the lower weight classes in years to come, reminds me of Pac with his style. He'd be too small for Juanma or Gamboa though I reckon.

Saul Alvarez won again, he has to be the weirdest looking Mexican fella I've ever seen.

Haha yeah, Appleby hasn't kicked on at all over the last few years.

Even worst was his interview at the end of the fight he thought he done enough to win the fight truely shocking. Your man was just jabbing his head off him.

The Irish lad on the bill last night won with a 6th round tko. I would love it IF Sky put the best of the undercard fights on there website.
 
Didn`t see the interview Leighton (was under orders to find out who won `I`m a celebrity` lol), he should have been embarrassed to think he got anything other than a sound lesson.

I'm just watching the Donaire - Sidorenko fight now. I can't believe the referee didn't stop it in the first.

It's here anyway....

Edit: Great performance, 4th round TKO. That was pretty gruesome at the end with the blood. It was pissing out. He always looks so much bigger than his opponents. Love to see him fight Montiel. Be a great fight.
 
Donaire v Darchinyan would be a decent fight to see again. Darchinyan looking for revenge. As I said before there would be a great match up for him at Super Bamtamweight with Poonswat that would be a fire cracker of a fight to happen but that step up to Super Bamtamweight wont happen for a while yet.
 
does anyone know if the Khan vs. Maidana fight is on tv in uk, been looking on all the channels but cant find it.

Donaire beats Montiel imo. Not sure Montiel wants any of him anyway.

I think a fight is agreed for the 19th of February. To be fair, if anyone were to pull out, my money would be on Donaire. He's already talking about fighting Jorge Arce if the Montiel fight falls through, which isn't a great sign.

I think Montiel can knock him out if he (Donaire) gets careless to be honest, although Donaire could potentially outbox him. It's an interesting fight though. Be good to see Donaire in with somebody who isn't a lot smaller than him aswell.

Sky Box Office mate.
 
What's going on with his eyes? Haha

He looks weight drained. Yes I based that on watching an interview where he's fully clothed.


In other news, looks like Pac's camp are lining up a fight with Mosley. Yawn.

Yeah but you've missed out the best bit...

The winner will fight the winner of the Cotto - Margarito fight. There's only one Bob Arum. Thankfully.
