Off Topic Boxing

Either way I thought Tony acquitted himself brilliantly considering he was written off by everyone.

 

Me too, he surprised the hell out of me. It was a great fight. But he looked gassed after 4 and was heavily reliant on a right hand.

 

I never saw the fight just the odd clip, it held zero interest for me. As does Uysk/Chisora.

 

Apart from the skills , elite fighters have elite conditioning. Tony never possessed either.

 

Bloody grumpy old git.

 

haha i know mate it did come across very much like that didn't it. On the other hand as Cyc mentioned some good boxing elsewhere. The return of Inoue for one. Did i mention i'd seen him live??

 

Only 6785 times.

 

USYK vs CHISORA . Boring. Usyk surely won't make it in the heavyweight division against any of Fury, Joshua or Wilder

 

Damn Ron, are you expecting to see the Thriller in Manila everytime you watch a fight?

I thought it was one-sided ,but enjoyable.

And the judges who only gave it 2 rounds up for Uysk were frankly incompetent.

 

I wasn't really interested in the fight DB to be honest. I just saw the live text. Certainly had no intention of paying to watch it. I think Usyk is too lightweight to trouble the big boys.

 

I can't find a decent, full replay of the Inoue - Moloney fight, the film is of a low quality The highlights are pics are better.

 

Ow , that final right was a crushing blow.
Glad he KO'ed him then as he was toying with him.

 

People are all over the place when it comes to trying to agree on the pound for pound best in the game. Inoue is clearly in the picture, but so is this man. He's not much of a human being, but he can fight like ****. For those who've not caught up on the boxing news, I'll not spoil the clip.

When can boxing be any better than when two top flight, reigning, world champions clash?

 

Usyk a slick and clear winner but simply hasn’t got the size or lower to deal with the top heavyweights based on what we have seen so far.

 

Today, Deontay Wilder finally emerged from the wilderness ... he shouldn't have bothered. He did little more than heap scorn upon himself. It's a rather disturbing clip with strange music, religion, and what appears to be signs of paranoia. And the excuses for his defeat are thick on the ground. He seems to be living in an altered state. Illness maybe. He seems to address Fury as a thief.

 

An odious individual like his mentor. But he is very very good.

 

The Mario Barrios vs Ryan Karl fight on the undercard was pretty decent. Ended in the 6th. Was a brutal last round.

 

Thanks for the heads up Smoke. I just had a look at it. Amazing stuff. The poor bastard was brave, nobody can say he didn't give his all.

Smoke's fight.

 

The Alexander Povetkin - Dillian Whyte clash on the 21st of this month has been postponed due to Povetkin contracting Covid 19. Matchroom are looking at Jan 30 for the new date. Hearn has publicly called out Andy Ruiz Jr as a replacement. I'm not sure that will happen though. And Now Chisora wants to take the spot. If Hearn and Matchroom go down that path, they'll probably wear some media ****. So it probably won't happen either. As both Whyte and Tyson Fury each need a fight this year, Hearn has offered Whyte to Fury for Dec 5. Probably won't happen either.

Update on the program. 9-0 Fabio Wardley will meet the journeyman Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne 29-2 who's career is fading fast.

If a poor replacement is found or Whyte doesn't fight, they'll scrub the program as a PPV which will please the average fight fan.

 

I think its an easy fight for Fury but he'll likely want an even easier one. Bit of a warm up before a proper fight.
