I have not and would never box BIBA
my apology, an assumption based on thinking you fought WBU
I won WBU and WBFs but they were fights in Croatia, Germany and Budapest.
Fair play mate. What was the best place you've fought?

Re: Fabio Wardley vs. David Adeleye - Who wins?

What’s the point fighting without belt? Surely not because it’s taking place in Saudi. Shouldn’t matter. Yeah hopefully the BBBoC see sense and don't strip Wardley if he wins. But possibly fighting under a foreign commision means the Board won't allow it for their title. Seems odd that the tweet sa...

Re: Who do you want to see Chris Eubank Jnr fight most?

Eubank Vs Cullen would be a good scrap but I'm not sure it would be a big marquee fight which is a shame as I would rather see that for some prestigious belts against a decent fighter in Cullen, rather than him smashing up a retired welter

What happened to light heavyweight Jim Moran, star amateur from yesteryear?

Jim Moran from Redditch win the commonwealth games light heavy title in 86 and the ABA light heavy title in the same year. In 87 it looks like he won the heavyweight ABA title, against Henry Akinwade. He had some nice skills and looked like he could have a tear up if needed. I don't think he turned ...

Eubank has none of the intensity he had against Blackwell etc. I think Liam wins and gets a wbo shot which is winnable

Prime GGG vs Dmitry Pirog

They were meant to fight. Pirog chucked the wbo title to fight GGG but his back was injured. He left the sport never to return. He seemed up for it when others weren't. Who wins and why?

Pirog could move, bang and had lovely defence. Golovkin was technically sound and had power in both hands.

Re: Frank Bruno v Tommy Morrison

I loved his left hook. One of the best I've seen.

If Tommy had tightened up and taken the game as seriously as he did shagging and partying, the sky would have been the limit.

Morrison would have to stand on the outside and hope to rack up points and hope that he can land the big left over and over. Would he get greedy and try to take Bruno out only to get written off by that huge Bruno right? Frank can hit
