Also wanted to say Callum Smith comes across as a nice humble bloke, especially for a scouser. He'll make a much better champion than Tony Bellew.

Yep, he seems like a good lad Callum,
as do his brothers.

Might have a nosey at this tonight.
Keeping an eye on this lads rise.

“Joe Joyce, the 2016 Super-Heavyweight Olympic silver medallist for Great Britain, fights in the United States for the first time.

Unbeaten Londoner Joyce is being fast-tracked to the top, and aims to go 6-0 with a win over Iago Kiladze, who has won 26 of his 29 fights”.

I've met Groves. He used our gym the week before the Eubank fight. He's a proper down to earth lad, very respectful when he didn't really have to be.

Long story short, I was a fat old fart finishing a few rounds move around, he stood waiting til we'd done. He waited til we'd got out, asked if we'd done, and dìd we mind if he used the ring. Then he even stood for a few photos before he got to work. He was a world champ a few days away from defending his title. Can you imagine Khan, Degale, Froch, etc etc doing that?

Makes a change from the diva personalities in most sports today doesn't it?
 
Fury looks to have lost the weight but I still think it's too soon for the Wilder fight to be serious(so much so that if it does go ahead I can see Wilder winning by KO), I'm still expecting a sudden shoulder injury and then Wilder to come out calling for AJ to take a 50/50 split or something daft which he doesn't deserve. I'm not fooled one bit by Wilder's claim he's being ducked, it's all an exercise in raising his profile to demand a higher purse.

The guy has a future in Hollywood. His interview with Kugan was soncringeworthy I had to turn it off.
 
I know Beterbiev is a monster but Johnson has some serious power in those fists. Really hope he catches him and knocks him out but he's huge odds for a reason.

Canelo v rocky fielding, wtf!!!

I don't get this fight personally even though it's expected he beats Rocky Fielding easily, I think he looks small against a lot of Middleweights as it is, at Super Middleweight he'll be at a big disadvantage in terms of height, reach, weight and power I'd imagine. I thought Groves looked small against Callum Smith himself, what's Canelo going to look like in against a 6ft 2 or above fighter? Golden Boy can't be serious about him keeping hold of a belt at that weight unless they are going to be picky about opponents.

I suppose Pacquiao did it and many others, it's what happens when fighters start running out of big money fights.

Johnson will regret not going all in when he knocked Beterbiev down. Good fight though and Johnson will improve a lot after only having one round in the last two years. He has a serious chin judging by some of the shots he took from Beterbiev.

Gotta be a contender for best pound for pound boxer out there? A quick one two and a pretty decent boxer was sparked out cold. Would be nice to get him in the UK but there's no-one here that would last a round.
 
I bet Billy Joe has had better days.


[emoji44] Billy Joe Saunders has been denied a boxing licence by the Massachusetts commission. He has been stripped of the WBO middleweight title & his fight with Demetrius Andrade is off.

After being told the decision, Billy Joe reportedly told the Massachusetts Board to "suck my dick"

Oh Bill. On self-destruct mode. He got a good trainer, gym, on the best form of his life and throws it all away. At first I wondered if it was planned. Dodge a credible opponent and open a door to fight again for a vacant title (say GGG) so there's a unification v Canelo for the winner, but it sounds like the titles might go to the bout winner. What a d*ck.
 
I just watched the video of him taking advantage of a crack addict, I hadn't watched the whole thing the first time around, I thought he'd just got her to agree a sex act and drove off laughing.

So he had her punch a random guy that was walking past, while offering her an imaginary bag of crack for it? How is that even funny? It's like he watched a prank show on youtube and took it to utter twat levels which nobody can laugh at. Plus he's a grown man with a career, what's he doing?

Is he showing the signs of a brain injury with these poor choices recently or has he just always been like this? Even the way he talks to people makes me uneasy at times.
