The Boxing thread

[Santiago Street]

It's far more enjoyable to pop someone with a jab then move out of range or slide under a shot than to stand in front of them landing big shots. It's what boxing's all about.

Rumour floating round that Broner has been knocked out in sparring. Wouldn't hurt him too much to be humbled.

Believed to be Errol Spence.

Spence denied it on twitter apparently but then again he could have been told to do that.

Someone like Hopkins or Whitaker were able to stand in the pocket for the entire fight and still be able to land their own shots without taking a single bit of punishment. That to me means being a better boxer than someone running a 5k in the ring.

You thought that fight was more enjoyable than a Corrales/Castillo? Or even Rios/Alvarado from a couple of weeks ago?<br /><br />-- 17 Apr 2013, 17:30 --<br /><br />Mayweather lying on the ropes slipping everything that comes at him using the shoulder roll is in no way similar to what Rigo did.

What time Canelo Trout start ?

 

[shevtheblue]

Fury is so far up his own arse i wouldnt be surprised if he has problems taking a shit.

 

[Santiago Street]

Don't like him either but he answered a few questions tonight

Disagree. He recovered well from the knock down but he struggled for a few rounds against a 36 year old who is 3 stone lighter and about 5 inches shorter. Fury only won cos he's a lot bigger and more powerful.

As soon as he fights someone decent who's around his size and weight he'll get well and truly hammered.
