Re: Jack Catterall Ohara Davies

Terry with your inside track can you find out how many rounds this is for me, BN says 10 Davies thinks its 12. Tried before ringing Wazza's firm but they never even get back to me. Seems strange for a very good fight like this no one seems to be sure, assuming the fighters know hence my request to ...

Re: Worst ever ppv

It is definitely up there with the P4P worst PPVs we've ever been hit with. Some have fights that stink that were good on paper. On paper this one smacked of a lack of effort to make it value for money. Boxing fans are used to PPVs that are piss takes, this one was a fornicating piss take.

Re: Rob McCracken

If he gets the standard 10% trainers fee, I'd say yes many times over. It’s not standard at that level. Higher or lower? It depends on what they agree on plus other factors. If the fighter has their own promotional company they can pay the trainer a cut of the purse that is paid to them as an emplo...

Re: Why is Paul Smith so aggressive?

I’ve always found Smith to be a decent in “real life”.

I’d recommend saying “Hello” if you bump into him somewhere. I’d rather someone who...

After watching Munguia vs Cook this weekend I am getting sick and tired of watching huge fighters making a name for themselves by being effing huge at the weight.

1) No more sanctioning bodies — Never going to work for obvious reasons. 2) Overtime rounds — I'm sure that it was tried and didn't work or was floated and laughed at. A 90-second round would add f*ck all to what had gone before it once they've warmed down. Edit: Martin Supple just told me it was R...

Re: Sick of weight drainers

I had an article idea about handicapping and "legal cheating" earlier this year but struggled to get anyone to talk about it. I ended up doing it as a bit of a rant instead and it will be on BN Online at some point.

Re: Will the Alvarez v Golovkin scoring be fair to Alvarez?

The officials will lean towards Canelo and if he wins there is unlikely to be a third fight. He will say that GGG doesn't deserve it due to disrespecting him, i.e. calling him out on cheating, in the build-up to this one. Alvarez will go down in history as one of the more forgettable "greats&qu...

Re: Chris Eubank Jr

Adam Booth would have been perfect for him if he had been able to stick it out—Booth, not Jr.—and at least would have made him play to his strengths. Any lateral movement whatsoever completely takes him out of the fight and his comfort zone. It is a shame as he has some decent tools (mostly in his t...

Re: "lewis on his best night is the best hw ever/beats all others"

Head-to-head I'd also go for Holmes over Lewis, who is one of my all-time favourite fighters, and believe Holmes is the best fighter the division has ever produced. He was just such a good all-rounder.

Thinking back, there were a few crackers at the George Carnall Leisure Centre. Chris P Bacon against Tony Moran and Amer Khan against Tony Stubbs were both bonkers fights. The Khan one was one of those Sunday afternoon shows that seems to have died out completely.
