The Boxing thread

Mate boxers would be taking a huge pay cut, boxing at the top level is an art form and the boxers get paid incredibly well.
Why would a boxer risk an injury for a small purse when he can earn a fortune?
You're telling me this as if I don't know this.
MMA is also an art form.

For those of you wondering why it's surprising that FN got KO'd should have a listen to Ariel Helwani on the post match interview.
He knows what's what on it.

Hey, when you've followed a man that has delivered vicious KOs in 4oz gloves, you expect some damage.
I was focused on FN, as I expected AJ to be marginally better than his last showing, but the man was turnt up!
Never allowed Ngannou to get into any sort of rhythm and none of this wish to 'box' like he has in the recent past. He's clearly put that away.
This is the AJ I championed a long time ago.
We still have to temper that with a fact that the man he fought had only ever fought twice, in all honesty he should never even have been afforded the chance.
I'm still just as confused about Joshua as I was before the fight.
The MMA purses are derisory.
I know.

Soory my point of view but i dont believe
But at least he is on the boxing wwe gravy train so he isnt bothered
Heavyweight boxing is total farce now, along with the rest of boxing world bodies. It needs a total overhaul but will never happen
Will get beat next time in the ring with a very good boxer. He is limitedHey, when you've followed a man that has delivered vicious KOs in 4oz gloves, you expect some damage.

MMA is brutal, boxing is the top draw of contact sports. There is a reason for this.
I'm not knocking MMA fighters, they lace up and are brave bastards.

Interesting that when Fury stayed 'after I beat Usyk' he couldn't hold gaze. Looked at the floor big time.
Something there that he knows that's bit disingenuous?

Yawn. You know you dont need to quote?Yawn. You know you don't have to watch it?
This situation of MMA fighers coming over to boxing because of the pay needs to stop.
They're not coming over and fighting novices such as themselves, but they are competing against the very top of boxing.
Going to lead to serious brain injuries.

Yeah, that should be it now.

Just stop, they are both top contact sports.
Unlike boxing, one company has a monopoly over MMA unfortunately and they pay pittance.

I don't know about "never even have been afforded the chance". FN is a legitimate fight with boxing as part of his discipline. I think he was too relaxed and bit too many feints, leaving him open for the shots.
But, not only that, Joshua has abandoned the whole patient boxing.
The two came together for a spectacular ending!

i pray Usyk knocks them all out cos' out the whole 3 of them he is a true boxer.
Fury and joshua are gravy train money hoarders and are making a mockery of the sport with their cross-over money spinning shit
As good as fury has been he has realized and monetized the entertainment business side of it...hence the continued shit show we see

The way you've posted, I'm unclear which fighter you're talking about.

He could have been seriously hurt mate, if he'd have been in with a parker or an usyk who might have beaten him for round after round the damage could have been a lot worse.

Funny you say that, but there's a bit at the end of the fight itself, when he's stood at the ring where he looks like he has doubts about what's he's just seen!
Might be something in that then!

You could say that with fighters getting KO'd with 4oz gloves!
Not sure what you're argument is?
