The Boxing thread

Cracking fight, lets hope we get the right result. Sosa should win this unanimously.
 
Just been watching the Ali v Dunn fight on Youtube and have to say that Ali was a disrespectful ****.

Its a good step for BT Sport but sadly for boxing fans you may well end up paying more money for the elite fighters. AJ is PPV on Sky and Boxnation are looking into a PPV option too for 1 of there stars. Who will it be is the biggest question for me. So your subs for Sky and Boxnation and any PPVs you buy is all adding up now. The biggest shame is ITV havnt got involved with a boxing promoter to get it back on main stream tv. I know Cyclone have a card on Friday night on Channel 5 with Conrad Cummings , Andrew Selby and George Groves all on it. The biggest shame for me is ITV didnt take them on with the numbers Frampton done on ITV when he boxed you would of expected ITV to be interested but sadly not.

Warren hasn't got 1 PPV worthy fighter on his roster.
 
Biggest fight for years next week, Ward is slight fave but I am hoping for a Serg KO. Then the winner fights Adonis surely for the lineal champion and belt he has while he is still under 40.

Worth staying up for next week.

Andre Ward is a class boxer always loved watching him. Too good in the Super 6 if he is still to that form and he is more active now. I can honestly seeing him winning on points against Kovalev. Just feel it might go like the Money v Pacman fight a UD for Ward. Kovalev has legit power to KO any fighter also the winner fights Cleverly lol. I think he is shitting his pants now lol.

Didn't Cleverly point blank say he didn't want a rematch when he was sparked out for the WBO LHW? Seems odd.

He did but he has no other option. As Kovalev is the Super WBA champion so basically the WBA want the Super Champion fight the regualar champion in that weight division next. As I dont think he has boxed a WBA defence against a WBA ranked fighter for a while.

Seems daft, so if no matter of the outcome the regular belt would be vacated?

Yeah the regular belt should be gone but the WBA are the laughing stock of the championship belts. Fuck me they have in some weight divisions 3 World Champions. You have your Super Champion aka there number 1. Then there regular champion number 2 and even some weights had a interim champion aka number 3. Scot Quigg was technically the WBAs Regular champion as Rigondeaux was Super Champion. Then Quigg got the Frampton fight. For that fight to happen and be for 2 championships. Rigondeauxs championship got taken off him and given to Quigg to be Super champion so he could fight Frampton in a Unification fight. Both had to fight Rigondeaux in there first defence whoever won. So so messy is the WBA.

Having seen Tyson out on Saturday night, i think it may be a long time before he fights again if at all. His eyes were in the back of his head,he didnt have a clue what day it was, that coke has got a grip of him.

PPV is available on ALL live events on Boxnation, although at £30 for the weekend against £12 a month with no contract it doesn't make any sense whatsoever even allowing for the £8 connection fee on the Sky platform.
 
How the fudge is Eubank jr still grasping for huge paydays when he only fought one decent oponent in Saunders and got leathered. The guys set for life and yet he calls out GGG ducks it then ducks out of his domestic belt and now wants a piece of the gate money on the AJ card? I hope he gets his arse knocked out soon and realises he aint his old man.


As for the "lb for lb" blahblah I think it will be too close with neither fighter really letting loose and Kovalev will do it on points.

The Froch v GGG rumours are bizarre to say the least but I would love to see that fight
