Robin.If you have a son I hope he is good enough to get in the ring with men of this ability.I would not hold out much hope of a coherent conversation with your child when he gets to 65
I think a fight between Campbell and Coyle would struggle to fill the KC Stadium. Also the way Coyle 'won' last night was a bit dubious. but I wish them both well. Live boxing on SKY from Hull arena with the top of the bill two Hull boxers and we have a 'We are Leeds' banner strewn across the ringside. Charlie Payton finished up in hospital after his fight and sadly no-one on the SKY team thought it fitting to give us an update on the lads condition or wish him a speedy recovery. I do.
The Leeds banner was promoting matchrooms next fight night in April! If anyone wanted to pay the right price you could have had "NO TO HULL TIGERS" around the ring?
Tommy seems like a nice kid and he's in a hard game. I dont think he over rated he's just over hyped, very very average fighter, to make a bit of money on the back of Luke Campbell been from Hull. He's already showing signs of being punchy, get the Campbell fight done and retire.
Or don"t get the fight done and have a bit more of his 60s knowing who is grandkids are.Sorry but if you encourage boxing you are partly responsible for the damage.
After watching Luke's fight the next best thing, entertainment wise, was the post fight interviews. Tommy comes across as being a bit desperate and wanting a big pay day from the 'tear up' with Luke, stating that he will 'knock him out', and that Campbell had 'fought no one of his calibre'. Luke was much more measured in his response, and had a classy calmness about him. Luke will ****ing demolish Tommy, bring it on!
Is there a problem pointing out the exploitation of vulnerable people?At this level the hits are all big and the fact that Luke is as fit as a butchers dog now will not grant him immunity for the future.I can think of one pro boxing enthusiast on here who I really doubt would want his own son to be hit hard on the head repeatedly.
If he's being banged on the head repeteadly, he's a **** boxer. Ban fishing. Falls and being struck or striking an object frequently occur during sporting activities. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, during 2007 the following numbers represent an accurate estimation of the number of sports related head injuries seen in hospital emergency rooms: Cycling: 64,993 Football: 36,412 Baseball and Softball: 25,079 Basketball: 24,701 Powered Recreational Vehicles (ATVs, Dune Buggies, Go-Carts, Mini bikes, Off-road): 24,090 Skateboards/Scooters (Powered): 18,542 Soccer: 17,108 Skateboards/Scooters: 16,477 Winter Sports (Skiing, Sledding, Snowboarding, Snowmobiling): 16,120 Water Sports (Diving, Scuba Diving, Surfing, Swimming, Water Polo, Water Skiing): 12,096 Horseback Riding: 11,759 Health Club (Exercise, Weightlifting): 11,550 Golf: 8,417 Trampolines: 7,075 Hockey: 5,483 Gymnastics/Dance/Cheerleading: 5,459 Ice Skating: 3,703 Fishing: 3,560 Rugby/Lacrosse: 3,281 Wrestling: 2,640 The top 10 head injury categories among children ages 14 and younger: Cycling: 32,899 Football: 17,441 Baseball and Softball: 13,508 Skateboards/Scooters (Powered): 11,848 Basketball: 10,844 Skateboards/Scooters: 10,256 Winter Sports: 7,546 Powered Recreational Vehicles: 7,460 Water Sports: 6,498 Trampolines: 6,360
You know incredibly little about boxing injuries in comparison to other sports. Or maybe you've just been hit hard on the head repeatedly.
Anything that brings dementia into a family earlier is not a good idea even if ,for some,the earnings are high. The fact that some middle class fans bask in the reflected glory of working class lads being battered by other working class lads will in future times be seen as shameful. I would imagine some of them will argue that sex tourists help poor economies
The fact you think Boxing is enjoyed mostly by the 'middle classes' just shows how ****ing stupid you are.
I think if I showed one of your posts to one of my tutors they would likely have a fit with the number of grammatical errors and ridiculous statements. Especially if I showed one of your posts from the Sunderland board. You can't even spell your own ****ing username right ffs. Who are you to try and highlight other people's stupidity?
