The Boxing thread

[Georgian Maestro]

I'm tempted to bet big on Fury but I've been burnt before with sham boxing matches. I lost a lot of money betting on Kindelan to beat Amir Khan in an amateur fight. Kindelan schooled Khan in the Olympic gold medal fight a few months earlier and I thought it would be a formality. Kindelan turned up out of shape and it was obviously a huge set up to crown Khan in front of the Bolton gliterrati before he turned pro.

Lovely to hear Ronaldo booed.

Wonder how much some of these boxers have been paid to be at this one?

The dark side and the dirty bent world of boxing is the promoters and the power they hold in their fights
I will say 90% of boxing is politics, and you do as you're told, or you don't get the fights, the promoters pull you out and drop you like a brick if you don't play to their game,

money talks, and you can earn a good payday by losing a fight if the promoters are pushing an up-and-coming boxer, They build up a route to get a boxer a quick start, and before you know it they have clock up 10 to 15 fights, but what the real aim is selling tickets for the big fights, and you never get off the undercards

the other 10% of the boxers are the best in the world and sell tickets, but without the 90% of boxers that the promoters control, you don't get the fight nights,

This should not even be discussed on a boxing forum .

Badou Jack like a fine wine.
3 weight world champ if he wins this which is looking likely.
Fit as fuck at 40!

 

[bluesmith]

I'm watching a different fight to the British commentators - Badou jack has been winning this the whole fight for me.

I can’t stand listening to Darren Fletcher. He just doesn’t shut the fuck up.

this is not boxing, just freak show should be left in Victorian age

 

[Tolmie scores]

Think it would be genuine as it would define both boxing careers who ever loses this they have no future in boxing

lets hope they both lose! genuinely galling seeing amateurs getting paid more than decent hardworking pros... victorian freak show isn't it
