Between boxing and UFC theres some good fights coming up. And yeah, Frampton/Quigg is a must watch. Really can't see that being a good fight. Thompson is too old and past it. Not fought anyone of note since 2012 and has lost a few since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wrong before mind! Well there is no doubt who the draw is between Joshua and Martin. If Martin was seen as the next big hope, there's no way he would be in London.

When Jokers Attack Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Craacking fight, Hope Blackwell is gonna be ok, he collapsed in the ring and has been taken to hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lharris92 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Damn. first I've heard that. he took a pummelling. still, if Eubank Jr wasn't being such an arrogant bellend it would have been over by round 6. Kell brook made short work of Bizier, take note eubank, as against people who hit back harder that tactic could have possibly backfired.

When Jokers Attack Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I agree, should have been stopped when Eubank unloaded against the ropes in the 8th or 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGayTent Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I have watched the whole fight twice now. I don't think Victor did much wrong if anything. Blackwell was losing the fight on points no doubt. But he's still throwing punches and still defending himself. Whilst he's doing that it's very tough for a referee to intervene. Very easy for people to criticise with the benefit of hindsight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGayTent Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sounds like good news on the Blackwell front - out of his induced coma, conscious and talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news. Anyone see Callum Smith on Saturday? Impressive. AJ this weekend. Looking forward to it. Oh and Hayes upcoming opponent. Errr, who?

Yes, but still unconvinced he's proved anything as yet. Looks very easy to hit and in with someone decent he'd need to vastly improve his defence.

The fight showed why you should take titles and unbeaten records with a pinch of salt sometimes. The difference in class was huge.As for AJ he can do what he wants in this division. He has the ability, the looks and the personality. He is a promoters dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been media coached into a marketing puppet. He's boring, every interview is the same, he has no personality. At least not one his advisors want you to see.

Yes personality is probably the wrong word. I meant more the way he conducts himself in the media, interviews etc. I can see him being the poster boy for UK sport like Jess Ennis is the poster girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
