The Boxing thread

I think Khan is trying to make fights that have little risk should he lose. Chasing Mayweather and Pacquiao, he knew if he lost those fights (which was the most likely outcome), then he would still earn the money but not really lose much credibility because of who he was fighting. I think the same applies to this fight with Canelo, he will go in as a big underdog and, in my opinion, will lose very comfortably. I think he will start off on the outside and stay away from Canelo, but eventually will get tagged and get drawn into a fight which is where Canelo will overwhelm him. He will come out of this fight though with a lot of his reputation still intact because he is going up in weights and expected to lose.

On the other hand, he could have taken more money and fought Brook, but if he lost that one to a domestic rival after all the talk, then his reputation would be shot and he would have to look at giving up or starting a rebuilding job bigger than after the Garcia knockout
 
Eternal shame on the WBC for sanctioning a fight for the middleweight title at 155 between a light middleweight and a welterweight. If it is the mismatch many think it will be it can only increase the clamour for a genuine middleweight title fight between Canelo and GGG in Autumn at 160.
 
Its actually a really smart move from Khan. Since Manny and May retired Canelo is the number 1 cashcow in the sport, this way he will get knocked out, pick up a fat paycheck and then still move back down to 147 for another big money fight with Danny or Kell blaming the Canelo weight advantage for his loss.

Kovalev looked the business last night, Pascal was getting beaten up but boxed on despite Freddie wanting to call it a day. Not sure who can cope with them shots, think ward would try to make it like the froch fight, get behind the jab, tigh him up and win ugly. Will be interesting to see how AD copes after moving up. He seems to got over his shoulder injury and back on track. Shame Paul smith didn't take him seriously, the fat ****.

It'd be an interesting fight but like you say it wouldn't be pretty. Whether Ward's still got it after 2 or 3 years out is questionable and even if he has can he cope with Krusher's heavy hands.

The one fight I wanna see more than any other is Kovalev Stevenson but it doesn't seem like that will ever be made.
 
There is plenty of fights both domestic and internationally that could well be made.
David Haye v AJ is a must this year if both stay fit.
George Groves v Martin Murray could be made , likewise Groves v Mundo Smith or Mundo V Murray , Paul Smith v Rocky Fielding will happen if Paul fights on too.
Brook v Khan is still workable for the end of the year.
Also you got the Winner of Frampton v Quigg fighting maybe Rigondeaux who gave a interview saying to both that the Daddy is back and ready for the winner.
The battle of Manchester Crolla v Terry Flanagan for a unification fight between 2 Manchester fighters that has got to be a first ever.
Andy Lee v Mat Macklin and even Chris Eubank jnr v Billy Joe Saunders could also be made again.
fuck it if we get half of those fights i be happy.

Plenty of great fights just hope they get made, money talks.

Daniel Jacobs v Eubank is a fight that interests me, not a big Eubank fan but he looked good against spike. Jacobs is a tough kid as we know, could be a cracker, still think DJ would win.

Eubank Jnr will get better if he listens to Adam Booth. He got Andy Lee to win a World title. Jnr looks more of a fighter who can take a punch so looks a better option
 
Adam Booth is definatly the voice of reason in that corner, just hope the circus leaves him to it. Booth will get the best out of jnr no doubting that.
