Cracking scrap this one

David ‘The Walking Punchbag’ Price. Should have packed it in ages ago and been grateful of any career he had in the sport.

Never thought about it in that way before!

News breaking that Patrick Day has sadly passed away a short while ago. Very sad to hear. This is bound to raise the same debates from in the past around the safety of the sport surely? I’m not into MMA but did watch a bit of it on channel 5 Saturday night. Can’t get my head around a sport where you knock a guy down and your first reaction is to jump on top and continue to hit them until the ref steps in, yet I haven’t heard of anyone dying in this sport?

Good shout. Next target is a PB in the 10k next year. Anyone got any good recommendations for podcasts? Usually listen to music but it’s getting a bit boring now. Anything comedy/sports related would be awesome, cheers.

Posted on here a while ago about running shoes. I have always just gone for Nike, currently have the Epic React 2. Never actually been to a running shop to be assessed. Anywhere you guys would recommend?

Done the 10k in 2015, 51mins 20secs was my time. Only race I have ever done. Spent a lot of my adult life massively overweight so been running on and off while trying to lose weight over the years. I’m currently on the weight loss train so running as much as I can at the moment but focus more on interval running, few minutes jog, 30 sec sprint, minute walk. Managed to hit the 6 mile mark for the first time in 2 years last weekend. Aim is half marathon and marathon within the next couple of years. Kipchoge’s achievement today was nothing short of inhuman! His average speed over 26+ miles is faster than my sprinting speed!

Anyone think Usyk will have any issues on his heavyweight debut tonight? Watching the build up to his fight with Bellew really won me over. Came across as a top top bloke. I hope he has a decent heavyweight career and would love to see him win a title or two, along with Whyte!

Don’t have to praise them, but some of the comments about their results, attendance etc are just embarrassing

I dislike the blue few as much as anyone but how people cannot praise them for what they are doing is beyond me! I can’t see it lasting for them, and really hope they don’t mount any serious challenge, but IF they were to promoted we would still be out of their league in so many ways. They will be just another Burton/Yeovil. But let them have their moment. They are doing well against the odds.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/50022470 this is outstanding!

Absolutely crazy! Gutted as love watching him fight but you can only say what an idiot he is. Lucky to be alive, let alone ever box again!

Seeing Hearn/Joshua empire come crashing down wasn’t so bad!

Snap. Will watch first thing in the morning before looking at any social media but not one I’m gonna force myself to get up for

That was fantastic! Fair play to Porter, threw everything he had at that.

Apparently Francisco Fonseca was taken Ill tonight, rumours that potentially he collapsed. Not gonna stay up for Spence/Porter but got it on record to watch first thing in the morning. Looking forward to this one. Spence is a bit special.

Loma was/is always gonna win but Campbell has performed way above anyone had predicted

Get in there! Where next for Hughie then?

Fair play for making such a quick decision

That is shocking. Surely the ref has to do something about that?!

Anyone know of any decent streams for this one? Used Hesgoal in the past but that didn’t show the fight last week

Don’t know why Ruiz agreed to it, other than money obviously! He should have dragged AJ to deepest, darkest Mexico.

Only Whyte keeps you on your seat in this way!

Just commented on how empty it looks in the crowd
