  1. Never a PPV but a cracking match-up all the same. As much as Whyte has improved of late, I do wonder if Parker's slick style will be too awkward for him to deal with.
  2. Very sad to hear of Dean's passing. A lovely chap and great fighter I had the pleasure of seeing live multiple times. His wife Ghalia was also very pleasant. To steal a quote from Calzaghe, arguably one of Britain's best boxers to never win a world title. Sadly hampered by injuries but still did well at different weight classes to win British, Commonwealth, European and Intercontinental titles.
  3. Fury's next opponent announced as a Eastern European cruiser weight basically, Sefer Seferi. Never heard of him but apparently he once fought, and lost, to Manuel Charr. So are we expecting Tyson to come out and do an Amir Khan by achieving a 30 second KO, or can we expect 5-6 rounds of him showcasing his skills whilst getting rid of ring rust?
  4. So the richest club in England opt for a tent. Understandable temporary measure as Wael is probably busy investing his billions in Rovers new permanent 250k seater state of the art stadium in Filton. They got so many fans some are still making their way home from the Wembley play off.
  5. Well said & my sentiments exactly. Haye knew he wasn't 100% all everything he said before was heavily fabricated. Wanted one last payday. I rarely buy PPV boxing these days but was at home with the family so we all chipped in - felt completely ripped off.
  6. Only saw the Charlo highlights, but his power & aggression is insane. Goes through people, even with high guards. As for Khan, I'd take another 'warm up' fight before meeting Brook later in the year. He wasn't touched against Lo Grecco, still fit, could go again in 2/3 weeks then set up a mega fight in the late summer. Then we'd see if the return was a 'flash in the pan' or whether he's back for good.
  7. Watched all the action from this weekend. Impressed by Khan - great comeback statement and made short work of an opponent who took Spence Jr and Porter a combined 13 rounds. As for the in-ring beef with Brook afterwards, I think Khan sees himself as superior and a bigger draw than Brook, and his CV/coverage in the US certainly backs this. Frampton - good win but disappointed in Donaire. A great boxer who would have dismantled Frampton years ago. Didn't look overly in shape either. Broner - felt he knicked the fight, cleaner work and Vargas face showed this. His post-fight racist comments and insults always good for the tabloids and entertainment factor. People love to hate him.
  8. Frampton and Frank Warren in the papers today lambasting how 2 x major boxing events can be screened on rival channels on the same evening: Frampton v Donaire on BT, Khan v Lo Greco on Sky. Hear their points, but ultimately venues, free weekends, fighter availability etc. all play a part. Ultimately there will be a few clashes here and there. Personally I'll be watching Khan. Interested to see what 2 years out of action has done to him and the undercard is actually decent. Plus his fights are always interesting: he'll display hand speed and KO his opponent, or get KO'd himself!
  9. Very true, another good fight where whoever loses ultimately is considered 'done' b boxing pundits. Broner v Vargas also on that evening in the US.
  10. Khan vs Lo Greco this weekend. Anyone going to tune in? Glad it's not a PPV so will probably watch it. Lo Greco has been in with some recognizable American names, but can't see anything other than a Khan victory, KO or points.
  11. Recently signed up to Ricky Hatton's Instagram feed. Fury has been training loads at Hatton's Manchester gym. He looks great, extremely quick, good movement and has lost a ton of weight.
  12. Dreadful fight, headbutts, DeGale not the talent he once was. Press talking up a rematch with Groves if he's not fit for the Muhammad Ali Trophy Final. Still think Groves beats DeGale based n what I saw - even with the now dodgy shoulder.
  13. Well said. Look at the attendances of AJ's last 3 fights. 90k at Wembley, 76k at Cardiff then Saturday, 80k at Cardiff. Wilder can't even sell out 20k seater arenas. And one of Joshua's fights was against a unknown replacement in Carlos Takam. Whilst America does hold the money and TV platform, I think it's fair to say AJ is the biggest draw in heavyweight world boxing right now so surely he holds the cards as to where the fight should be held.
  14. Good shout. Fury would easily beat Brown or Whyte for me, even now, but think he'd most likely take a warm up first. Maybe Sam Sexton etc.
  15. Jokes aside, his recent training videos are very promising. He's lost a ton of weight and shows incredible speed and movement on the pads. I'd expect a comeback fight announcement imminently.
