Berkshire Red

Statistically if we lose our next game our ppg will be 1.16 so basically exactly the same. Its sadly a much too small sample size to make much of a comparison or draw any meaningful conclusions.

Could do with a player like Bell again. What I'd give for the excitement of seeing Murray running onto a perfect tinnion through ball again. To hear all the wooden seats go up in the Dolman one more time. God I miss the old stadium before it became a characterless clone of every other ground in the UK!

People said he wasn't ready for the team and they were right. 3 years later and he has had 2 good games.

If we had the season we are currently and played like this every week itd be okay. Entertaining football tonight I must admit

Great resources for me have been the pfitzinger marathon plans, daniels running formula. Great guidance on structuring of your season, importance of training in correct training zones, hr training, nutrition etc While track seasons on hold, turned my focus to running a sub 16 5k in the new year. Some cracking posts and discussions on LetsRun forum that have helped a lot in planning my season out. Another great resource of use would be the serpentine running forum. Some great posts covering all range of subjects. Finally, the Macmillan race and training pace calculator is another great free resource for all athletes. You can put current race times and goal paces to calculate your training zones and paces for each session.

Recently joined the strava group, and nice to see a chat that hasnt descended into chaos after Sunday's poor showing. Are there many club runners on here? Joined Bristol and West myself about a year ago when I moved down from Manchester, have also been along a couple times to the southville group a couple times

For anyone missing their sporting fix this weekend, was a cracker of a fight ag the Olympia on Saturday

Ah that's a shame. Would be class if they started doing some of the smaller matchroom shows here when the arena is complete. I'll keep an eye out for Dolman shows, cheers. Recall seeing MTK taking a show to Bournemouth so no reason why couldn't do one in Bristol.

Anyone know of any shows coming up in Bristol worth going to? Try to make it to 2 or 3 of the bigger shows a year across the UK, but haven't heard of any hearn or warren shows in this area. I used to sell tickets for a local promoter in liverpool in return for free ring side tickets for me and my pals so happy to attend small hall shows too. Not been in the city long, and dont box any more so dont hear about local shows through gyms. Any advise? I dont even know what venues may host events?

Anyone reading much into the fury illness? I know rumours appear before every big fight but the recent ifl interview where we had to go inside because of the cold, the excessive layers and obvious coldsore at the last one, then Hearn claiming he now favours Wilder after the camp rumours he has heard?

Anyone tuning in for golovkin derevyanchenko?

From memory I think they did didnt they? Just lost a point for taking a knee in the 10th or 11th maybe

Nathan Gorman? Both from Manchester, decent domestic perhaps? If fast car and fish eyes can agree to make a fight together

Going Loma inside 6 by body shot

Anyone picking a shades of Ali fury masterclass

No contest is fair

This is true. Do find it hard to believe ESPN are happy with their value for money though. May be completely wrong here but wasnt it something like an 80 million 5 fight deal he signed? Would expect better quality opposition for 16 million a fight if I was ESPN. If wilder loses to Ortiz (unlikely) then what fight does he make next?

I mean I can see why he wants to take a couple easier fights and fair play for taking on wilder. I do feel like he won the wilder fight though, and potentially made a good case for him being the best guy in the division, but then to follow that with Schwartz and Wallin is poor IMO. It's ultimately an entertainment business and there are so many exciting fights he could make that I don't think we will ever see. This is also a guy who criticises everyone else's opponents. He has potential for HOF status if he fought all the top current and prospects in division but don't see that happening.

Anyone picking hughie to beat Povetkin? Can't see him wanting to trade with Sasha after running from pulev, a much lesser puncher. Think there could be boos by round 5 when very little happening imo but hope I'm wrong. Got to give credit to HF though. Certainly showing more balls than cousin Tyson at the moment. Just wish he wouldnt spend the night running. Schwartz and Wallin hardly entertaining from the so called 'lineal champ' though

This is what worries me. If Kownacki goes over 3 rounds perhaps the rematch will be made! I do actually think, the division could be thriving over the next few years with Usyk, Hrgovic, Ajagba etc coming through. With Wilder ducking left right and centre and AJ unwilling to release any of the remaining belts I just hope a few more fighters take the Whyte approach and take the bigger fights for the money if nothing else. I dread the situation where all these fighters make top 15 then fight bums remaining active until world title shot but happens all to frequently.

I'm assuming you're correct and he will indeed head for Kownacki after, as he indicated prior to the Breazeale fight However, beyond the Kownacki fight though I feel he will eventually have to take a decent challenge and fight a live opponent. By this time the top 10/15 will hopefully be such that he is forced to either fight Fury/Whyte/Riaz as a WBC defence or one of Usyk, Joshua, Hrgovic, Joyce, Hunter, Pulev, Ajagba or I'd even settle for Parker or winner of Gorman/Dubois - although this will likely be too early for either of these. There are no real other legit contenders at the moment from the USA that he could justify fighting and he cannot surely take any non US fighter with a rep or ranking below those listed can he? What route do people think he will go beyond Kownacki?

Except for they're at Liverpool and arsenal respectively while Abraham is playing for Bristol city today
