The Boxing thread

[bluemc1]

Not found a reason to post in this thread for ages and then I got home from work and caught what must have been a re-run of something called "The Gloves are Off" on Sky 3. What an excellent show this was!!

A round table chat with Chris Eubanks, Joe Calzaghe, Roy Jones Jr, Steve Collins, Johnny Nelson and Richie Woodall; all world champions exploring the psyche of their opposing characters post career.

Just when I thought there was nothing Sky could attract me with besides live footy!

yeah it was on a while back and i really enjoyed it, think Collins came over like a bit of a nob though

Agreed!

He did admit, to his credit, that would not have stood and traded with Eubanks in their fight, but found a will to win, which CE never had.

Is it me (as I only came in a while into the show) or did I get the impression that Collins wanted a showdown fight with Jones Jr??

Aah!! I had nipped out of the room to deal with my kids and forgot I could press rewind on the channel, but I was confused as to why Collins had gotten up and walked away! I thought he was upset about something!!

Abner Mares just got sparked. Haha

 

[ono]

Just watched the fight now (didnt take long) haha. Surprised. Beaut of a shot though to put him down.

Pulev beat Thompson as well last night so reckon Thompson's wife's hip will be ok.

Garcia is a Philly fighter so he has plenty of heart. I don't rate Peterson so I see Garcia as being a major step up for Matthyse.

I'm only right once a year so I thought I'd crow a bit.

Garcia was amazing tonight though.

It wasnt a flowing fight. The knockdown was a bit of a joke and that won Garcia the fight.

just watched the fight and they are 2 tough blokes, dont think Khan beats Garcia in a rematch, he won't be able to put Garcia away and if Khan is having to be in there for 12 rounds he's getting tagged at some point
