The Boxing thread

Really looking forward to seeing Omar Figueroa a good young fighter lots of power and skill too. Him against Daniel Estrada could well be the fight of the night. Bika v Dirrell should be a good 1 too think Dirrell will this time get the win. Last fight was called a draw. Add in the undercard fights with Deontay Wilder , Callum Smith and Luke Campbell all making there US debut this card is stacked and it should be a good night.

What times it gonna be on? Is it a 4am job?

2 Bells.

Sky Sports is free til 6 am if not everybody is subscribed to it but fancies watching the boxing.

It's going to be a late one!

He's certainly a brawler and a tough cookie that Figueroa, but that fight felt like he wasn't taking it particularly seriously and was so confident in his chin that he was letting far too much hit him, if he moves up then he needs to be more professional like he was at the end when he knew he needed to finish it.

Get in!

Get in!

Yet more proof what a **** Jim Watt is, gave Kell no credit throughout the fight, he picks a fighter at the start of every fight and just goes on and on about that fighter, he is such a ****, bit of a shock as i thought he might get screwed by the judges, but for the last 8 rounds all the clean work was from Kell, you could tell Porter didnt think he had won at the end. The ref was crap, Porter was using his shoulders and head too much. I had it Kell by a round or 2, Dave Paris thought it was a draw and as the 2 yank judges gave it Kell, so nobody can complain.

Worth staying up for, get in.

Well deserved. Much the better boxer throughout the fight and showed Porter up to be just a rough brawler who's ineffective against technical boxers.

Well pleased for Kell after all this injuries, cancellations and general shit he's had from people questioning his heart.

Bring on the big guns now.

you've summed up Jim Watt perfectly, his pre meditated script is so ridiculous it has me screaming at the telly lol. It's like he watches different fights to the rest of us. Really happy for brook, he deserves it. Never got the golden spoon like Khan did but his hard work has paid off.

Delighted for Kell he was doing all the clean work. I had him up by a round at the end some of the rounds were very scrappy to call. I think that Kell will do extremely well in this division. You look at the 3 main guys in the division Money , Pacman and Marquez all late 30s this is a old talented pool of fighters but with there age there is always going to be a time when they just go and cant preform as before. Kell is in the right place at the moment and will if manged right have a chance to take over from these guys.
His next fight I will be interested to seeing who they put him in against. I think he will take a top 10 ranked fighter next. Then move on to fight say Khan in a big Summer fight in Wembley. They cant do it this year as there is no big indoor arena that will hold it. I also dont think Khan deserves a shot. The way he said after Kells win that Kell can now fight Amir Khan. Khan has avoided Kell and took the easy fight at times but this will all change.

If the tables were turned Khan would never give Brook a shot, he's never been interested in fighting Brook his career would be over with that loss and Brook would be the new poster boy of British boxing. Have a feeling Kell can go on to be one of our best ever, so skilled and the patience he showed in that fight yesterday was remarkable.
