The Boxing thread

You misunderstand me; I’m not saying they shouldn’t be exposed, I just don’t think it’s going to get them anywhere. Boxing has stories like this going many many years; sometimes it’s been corruption from within the sport and sometimes it’s been just plain incompetence. I just don’t think in this instance that reporting the result to the police will get them anywhere.
I used Hagler as an example because he was shafted against Vito Antuofermo and made sure he wouldn’t give corrupt/incompetent judges the chance to do it again. (It’s ironically also why he quit after the Leonard fight which he felt he’d won.)

Agreed, the corruption is global, we might make progress within this instance.
 
It didn't shock me Conlan was ahead on the cards should of been ahead more. In some of the cards. After the Josh Taylor fight they were going for the KO and in the earlier rounds looked like they hurt Wood badly. Doing someone early in the fight to the last round so much of a difference. After 12 rounds a KO punch is more devastating. I can fully see why he is asking for a rematch would Wood do it again?? They had a great fight. I still stand by the fact he has the skills to win a World Title and the power too. Also he's got the best team behind him to get him there. Seen so many fail at first go at World title fights to win 1 a few fights later.

But not at this weight.
 
Just watching a rerun of the Taylor/Catterall fight. It was a truly horrendous decision. In a macabre way, it's amusing listening to the commentary knowing what was to come. They couldn't see anything other than a Catterall win.
 
Fury vs White 3 weeks out and not a single undercard fight announcement.

Not sure I can remember a situation like that before

Friends recall heartbreaking death of Moss Side boxing hero Phil Martin

Thought it was brilliant and can only, humbly, say what Phil meant to a lot of us as kids, I’m also in one of the pics they put out, brought a genuine tear to my eye as I’d (unforgivably), not thought about him for a while or been down them ends for a bit….

I’d say, despite going down an academic route in my field, along with my dad, Phil played a huge part in why I ended up in rehabilitation and helping youths, an inspirational man, selfless and took on the establishment, head on, instilling a work ethic, regardless of talent, into a generation of kids, who without him would of fell through the cracks…

This inspired me to touch base with a few of the old guard and we’re meeting up this evening, a few glasses will be raised to our hero!
 
Got away with loads again there warrington.
Ref should of noted that the clash of heads caused a cut.
Then repeatedly just as a word with him over going in with the head and shoulder time and time again.
Kiko would of needed a gun and a baseball to come away from Leeds tonight still as champion.

On a brighter note the aussie blonde on the undercard was well stacked

You obviously seen the two blatant shoulders to the face from Warrington! The ref couldn't wait to jump in and stop it, Fucking farce of a fight. Can't wait until Warrington fights in America he'll either be disqualified in Round 1 or KO'D in Round 1.

She's a cracker looking forward to seen her v shannon 2. Definitely would!
