The Boxing thread

[MCFC Wirral]

Why?

Because it’ll be very inconvenient for any British based fans to attend. I’d want to.

That has to be the worst PhotoShop I’ve ever seen.

Looking forward to Catterall v Taylor.
I hope Jack anhilates him.
The last fight was the biggest robbery to ever happen in a boxing ring. It was an absolute disgrace.

Yeh I'm hoping that he can reverse it this time out after what was a huge injustice (and let's be fair probably denied him his only opportunity at being a unified world champion).

As it's still at 140 you would have to think that works in Cateralls favour.

Annoyingly I am over in Leeds for this (needless to say it has been rescheduled - no chance I would have committed to it on cup final day)............

Still can't get how that second judge scored it 114 to 113 to Fury. Bizarre decision.

When they read that decision my mouth dropped open and I was absolutely speechless - and angry for him.

Bizarre decision that made the bookies a lot of money, split decision was something like 10-1, I had usyk unanimous decision at 3-1, makes you think

Currently getting together as many old fights as I can to rewatch.
Boxing was my first love In the arts and what set me on the path to other arts many years ago.

Torrenting, download off YouTube ect..
Anything pre 2000.

Loved going to sportspages in town back in the day and buying fights on vhs.. compilations.
Used to buy my martial arts books there 30+ years ago.

I'm getting on a bit now and had many a knock in head so cant remember every fight or fighter i loved watching.. haha.

Anyways..

What's your favourite fights from yesteryear?? ( just boxing , I've got everything mma for the past 30 odd years)

Recommendations that I might have missed back in the day or a fight or fighter i might have forgotten..
What's your favourite fight?
Who's your favourite fighter?

Side note my favourite boxing matches of all time is the Holyfield Bowe trilogy.

Pure nostalgia from a great time in boxing.

That first Holyfield v Bowe fight was one of the best hw fights of all time. I was born in 1980 and growing up watching the fights in the 90s we were blessed. One of my favourites is Benn Eubank 1 and Lennox Lewis is my favourite fighter of all time. The best fights of the 00s I can think of are Morales v Barrera and Gatti v Ward.
