The Boxing thread

Relikh is a proper explosive fighter and is exciting to watch. It's no surprise that he has so many KO's under his belt.

However, whilst his style looks good on the eye, technically he can be picked off and Burns' did that in the middle rounds. Relikh's work rate was there, but it was like he was working for the sake of it. Whilst Burns was backing off, Relikh never closed him off and allowed Burns to catch him with the cleaner shots.

Aside from the 1,2,10 and 11th rounds which Relikh clearly won due to his explosiveness and shot selection, he didn't do enough to pick the other rounds.

When Relikh learns a bit more management he will be a proper force at his weight. He's show he belongs at the top level tonight but it was a lack of experience that cost him.
 
Luke Campbell fights Derry Mathews on the Bellew card, should be a decent scrap with Luke having to much for me. David Price and Rocky Fielding complete the line up of dippers.
 
Burns has always been in close fights some decisions going his ways and some not. For a 3 weight world champion I just dont know how I remember the Beltran fight and Beltran won the fight but was only given a draw. I see they want to do Burns v Broner for the end of the year in the US well if that fight happens Ricky loses then Ricky retires. I just cant see him fighting on for much more time.

I was at Leeds Town Hall about 10 years ago when Carl Johansson battered him round the ring for 12 rounds. I've literally no idea how he has become a 3 weight world champion.

Yeah mate I know I have never seen a fighter getting so many decisions like Ricky has. He seems a top lad but my god to be a 3 weight world champion like he is he has had a lot of good luck during his time.

This weekend love to see Bellew getting beaten. Mouthy fucker he is but since winning the world title he has gone to a new level of Mouthy Fuckers that i dont like.

Also Ryan Burnett the kid will be the next World Champion from Belfast so talented this lad is for me can be a multi weight champion.
 
I've never liked Bellew, no matter how much sky said he's a nice lad with a heart of gold I just can't get past how arrogant and needlessly aggressive he is when he talks.
 
Could be a tough fight for Luke Campbell, Mathews went 12 with turbo not that long ago. I should want Bellew to win but it's hard to like the guy. Nothing to do with football or being scouse, just think he's a knob.
 
Hope bellew gets Twatted but can't help but think this guy is hand picked so he can stay as champ for a few fights and make a few quid. Scouse rat.

I do like the fact that Fury fella is being stripped. If you piss about to much it seems they are at least pretty quick to pull you up about it. I hate all the politics bit, get in the ring and punch the other fucker :-D
