Stortz Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Inexplicable performance from DeGale against a limited if gutsy opponent. He has got away with taking periods of the fight off to lay against the ropes before- particularly against Badou Jack- but tonight his luck ran out. Such a frustrating character, he has the tools to be top level but not the attitude or ring generalship imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 DeGale was dogshit, he'd get destroyed fighting like that against any of the big domestic names, let alone the elite level guys. Hearn will be absolutely pissing himself now. Warren's two big new names and one looked rusty and not arsed and the other loses his belt in a keep busy nothing fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how he managed to damage his hand barely throwing and without landing any punches. Thin air doesn't usually hurt to hit does it. I can only presume it was done when the ref was trying to peel him off of Loma. Rigo realised he had no chance very early, quit as soon as he thought it decent and didn't even put up a token effort before that. Hugely disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I think the dummy came out with the point deduction, he knew he was never winning and looking at a disqualification. He was below Lomachenko's waist at times and that was only going to keep happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 As expected i didn't make the Loma fight, will watch later hopefully. Degale was utter rubbish and deserved what he got, Selby wasn't much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Britain's Tyson Fury is free to resume his boxing career after accepting a backdated two-year doping ban. The former heavyweight world champion was charged in June 2016 for using a banned steroid, but blamed the result on eating uncastrated wild boar. His victory over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 was his last fight before beginning his legal battle with UK Anti-Doping (Ukad). Fury, 29, is free to fight again once he regains his boxing licence. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), which manages the licensing of boxers in the UK, has agreed to the outcome, according to Ukad. Last month BBC Sport reported that Ukad feared it could be made insolvent or require a bailout over the dispute had Fury been cleared. "In recognition of the retrospective counter-arguments and the risks inherent in the dispute resolution process, each side has accepted a compromise of its position," Ukad said. Hughie Fury, Tyson's cousin, has reached a similar agreement after he tested positive in February 2015. The Furys insist they have "never knowingly or deliberately committed a violation".

Super Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Don't see much boxing on a Wednesday night these days! Katie Taylor tops a stacked card at York Hall which sees many of Britain's most exciting prospects in action, including Josh Kelly, Joe Cordina, Lawrence Okolie and Conor Benn. Taylor makes the first defence of her WBA lightweight world title as the Irish sensation takes on Chicago's Jessica McCaskill this Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports.

Seeing him of all people take the moral high ground on ticket sales is fairly amusing. Nothing to do with all of his prospects going down the gurgler I'm sure. He comes over pretty stressed actually, his eyes are bulging like Arnie on Mars in Total Recal. And speaking of bulging eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemiex couldn't get near him. I don't like BJS as a person at all but credit where it's due, that was by far his best performance. He boxed Lemiuex's ears off. Impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARJ Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Without commeting on future bouts, BJS was superb on the weekend, looked brilliant and completely outboxed Lemiux. What annoyed me were Lemiux's post-fight comments, similar to Guerrero and Canelo when they fought Mayweather: moaning that he "ran away". BJS was playing 'the boxer' i.e. hit without getting hit. Displayed great footwork and lateral movement. Lemiux was hitting thin air. So rather than saying fair play, he moans that BJS didn't stan square in front of him: ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 14 hours ago, JonDolman said: Yeah I agree. Canelo definitely has flaws, and a fit bjs doesn't really have any. I believe he'd outbox canelo, but whether the judges would make the right decision against canelo is another thing. BJS is a bit feather fisted for a MW. Canelo's boxing ability is underestimated imo, he's certainly a completely different league to a basic slugger like Lemiuex. He is a great counter puncher and excellent technically. Let's not get too carried away, fine as the performance was from Saunders on Saturday. Canelo has already been in with multiple hall of famers and has only been out boxed by Mayweather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 56 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Khan outboxed canelo till the inevitable happened. I think bjs is too slippery for canelo. I've never seen bjs wobbled and looks to me to have underrated power. Canelo v Khan went exactly as you'd expect given the massive weight difference on fight night and their natural sizes, I don't think that's a very good example tbh. Don't get me wrong, BJS would be an awkward, hard night's work for anyone; I just don't think we've seen enough from him to talk about him outboxing the elite as he hasn't fought them yet. You're right, he does seem to have a fantatsic chin, but I'd say his lack of top tier power was proven clearly by his resume. It's all about opinions of course and I haven't seen all of his fights, so I'm interested to hear why you think his power is underrated, have you seen a lot of him?
