The Boxing thread

That towel hadn't hit the canvas before my victory jig started!

Now, if THAT was on pay per view....

He wouldn't fight Joshua, he's not that daft.

I've not watched it, but I'm not even slightly surprised it was all a sham, boxing died years ago.

The popularity of the sport astounds me.

Imagine peak era Tyson against these two bumboys.

Hearns promoted fights....do me a lemon. As honest as 80s snooker...Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Imagine peak era Tyson against these two bumboys.

Yes I can in fact i could imagine him against them now, probably both at the same time and the outcome would be the same!

Because he knows no fucker will insure him for another fight.
No insurance =no fight.

I still find it odd that neither fighter mentioned the injury. No insurer will simply act on tonight. Haye looks fucked and likely to be out of action for a good few months.

But either way, Haye doesn't look like he has that ability to dominate any longer.

However. it's a real shame it ended that way.

Bellew is one lucky bastard. He struggled against a fighter that was border-line incapacitated and couldn't fight at even 50%.

I still find it odd that neither fighter mentioned the injury.

Load of shit. Can't they just feed Bellew to AJ in 10 minutes.

 

[BlueMedic]

Bizarre. Haye not looking great when he should've won comfortably, Haye then being unable to stand up for a round before deciding it was a good idea to carry on, Bellew struggling to beat a cripple who could hardly fight back, Bellews team/mates celebrating wildly as though this was an impressive feat, Haye/Bellew love-fest at the interview & no one deciding to mention the injury.

Top it off the crowd booing Haye even though he could easily have quit, he stood and got punched for 5 rounds for their entertainment, and then sucked up to their star for a few minutes in the interview - merciless crowd.
