Never mind, we're due another Curry v Honeyghan upset soon.. Mate he makes Andre Ward look like Arturo Gatti haha. He's a very good technical boxer, just massively risk averse. Canelo gives him short shrift haha: 'Alvarez didn't hold back when asked why he hasn't answered Andrade's call. "The truth is he hasn't fought with anyone, hasn't fought against anyone, and he's also boring, very boring," Alvarez said. "Maybe he's a good fighter, but he's a boring fighter, and at the end of the day, when there's a boring fight, people are going to blame me. I like fights where there's action, where people can enjoy a good show. That's very important for me. But also he doesn't represent a challenge for me, as well, because he hasn't fought against anybody."' https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/canelo-dismisses-demetrius-andrade-as-a-future-opponent-hes-a-boring-fighter/14n0m4r3ldbrh15ljw30lvaltb I'll watch tomorrow morning, but can't see Williams pulling a Honeyghan- and BooBoo is no Curry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine antagonism between them at the weigh in. It doesn't take much to wind Andrada up.. From what I can remember Curry didn't even have to take the Honeyghan fight as making the weight was killing him and he planned on moving up a division anyway, he just saw it as an easy pay day.. Never the same after that beating.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrade comes over as a really prickly character tbf. No matter what he's said in the build up, he clearly doesn't think Williams has any right to be in with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stortz Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) 116-111 Andrade. Williams didn't show enough quality, but there was no doubting his heart. Once Andrade thought he was ahead he reverted to spoiling and flashy pot shotting as per. He is generally horrible to watch. edit- 118- 109 x2 was harsh on Liam.

All good here mate, it's always a wonderful day when those filthy ***** get relegated, I've raided the keep for special ocassions booze haha. Not sure about the rigwalk tune for Callum here!

Hearn says probably happening in Saudi Arabia. So I guess that means 75 million dollars each even before the astronomical numbers it will do on PPV. Surely it will be the most fighters earn from one fight of all time. Hearn seems confident it will happen this year. I think the plan is August. Hope so they have to get the first one done before all the belts become fragmented again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
