The Boxing thread

Saw a boxing press conference yesterday by chance and thought - WTF?

Exactly why I switched off watching it years ago now.
It's too gimmicky, the sporting side of it is obsolete and watching ultra defensive bore fests like the **** mayweather makes me hate the sport.

I'd probably only watch a boxer now who is a Blue, such as Ricky, but I'd watch him when he was doing Muay Thai, just naturally aggressive and good to watch.
 
Press conferences your always going to get some strange goings on it sells the fight. Its common knowledge if your trying to sell a fight your going to get that conference as much attention as possible. I think your going to get people who will buy the PPV to see Fury get knocked out so Fury is doing what any fighter would do to sell a fight.
As for Mayweather he was just too good of a technical fighter to get beaten. Boring to watch but Money was the biggest paid fighter for years. Well if your looking for a Blue to watch Terry Flanagan hes fighting in the MEN on the 10th of October defending his WBO lightweight title holder. There could well be a fight with him and Anthony Crolla if things works out well in the coming 12 months.

Fury might be a wanker but i think this fight is Klitschko's first real test. I cant remember the last time Klitschko was fighting against someone taller than him and with a longer reach. If Fury has the technique to box he would cause Klitschko a lot of problems. Fury will go looking for a KO which will prevent him beating Klitschko. Saying that there comes a time when a fighter just looks old and finished its only a matter of time for it to happen with Klitschko. Would love to see Klitschko retiring after this fight then the heavyweight division will get a lot better competitive.

As for AJ he will be tested by Whyte. Both guys chin will be tested it will be a cagey fight for the first few rounds. I would say AJ would win the fight but I think it will be the first really tough nights work for AJ. IF AJ works behind his jab he should have too much for Whyte but depending on how Whyte gets to him he might end up going toe to toe with him instead and a chance of being caught by a few shots.

Hearing rumours Frampton V Quigg is getting closer to be made for Feb in Manchester or London. Think Frampton might be defeanding his title before the year is out and taking on Quigg. Something will be announced soon of either the Quigg fight or 2 fights for Frampton in a short space of time.

Yeah 3 years ago. I think now we might see him calling it a day soon. AJ , Wilder and Fury all young hungry fighters that will get there chances sooner as he has beaten everyone else in the division.

Shame his brother and him never fought as I always had Vitali Klitschko as the better of the 2 by miles. His only defeats was by a bad cut v Lewis who bottled out of a rematch and Chris Byrd when he injured his shoulder 45 wins 41 wins by KO. Shame he got some bad injuries as little brother wouldnt of got as many titles when he was about.

Vitali was better for me as well, but boxing brothers never ever fight each other, and nor should they. Wlad was higher rated in boxing magazines in the later years of Vitali's career, however Wlad had to work harder at it but Vitali was a more natural fighter for me.

True it showed in the Lewis fight that Lewis was never going to give Vitali a rematch as he was just too strong at times and was only going to get better and better. I remember that fight and it was a really close fight but Vitalis cut was a nasty 1.
