It's gonna happen. The fight itself is abysmal, but what's worse is that the Matchroom bullshit machine is gonna go into full force to justify this shocker. Arrrrrrrggh

Great win for Taylor on Friday. Below is a piece on him and the merits of a potential Burns clash. Could also be some great scraps with Nurse, Hibbert, Catterall, Coyle, Davies and Theophane. What should his path through the division be? http://boxingtruth.net/the-rise-of-josh-taylor-scottish-boxing...

Agree 100%. He was stating the bleeding obvious. His recent pound for pound list was embarrassing .

Was at the fight and had Burns by one round. Watched it on YouTube a day later and thought Relikh should've got the decision by one round. Brilliant fight. Burns is on the slide.

NBP is decent guys but Boxing Asylum has kicked its arse of late, from the chat on the show to the production. I went to listen back to NBP late last night n only 15 mins of it was uploaded to YouTube even though the video said it was two hours long. Boxing Coalition is also excellent. The Asylum's ...

Wrote this piece guys http://boxingtruth.net/6-bad-decisions-made-by-danny-garcia-and-his-team/ Doing it I thought, maybe fans will forgive the Garcia cherry picks if he beats Thurman or is part of a real classic. Can only speak for myself, I forgave Calzaghe and Hatton for fighting some shit opposi...

That would mean that RJJJR would have retired at only 34 years old without many significant fights on his resume. I think that fans wouldn't feel satisfied at all with his career but we'd all marvel at the talent we saw in the ring against inferior competition. Sure, he beat Bhop and a couple other...

I don't cling to any such thought of a boxer beating a matchroom fighter anymore, pretty clear how they have operated over the years. Hypocrisy all over Matchroom at the moment. I was at the Burns fight Friday and that 118-110 scorecard was disgraceful. Hearn then said he thought Burns won by three...

That would've been an insane fight.

Just wish he'd fornicating fight someone, same with Billy Joe as well. What a waste of time this year has been for both

Has Martin Murray uncovered some vast undiscovered paedophile network within the upper echelons of boxing?! There can be no other logical reason for the seemingly never ending amount of world title shot opportunities he receives. I think Paul "fat bastard" Smith is involved in this conspi...

http://boxingtruth.net/undefeated-records-why-the-obsession/ Thanks again for all the points of view guys, have included them in this. Personally, I couldn't care less about a loss on someone's record unless it was an absolute shocker of a display like Quigg's early rounds v Frampton or Junior Witte...

This is absolutely brilliant news. Praying they've got a decent commentary team for it though. GGG v Brook was abysmal stuff

Carl Framptons big win over Leo Santa Cruz elevated him to a top 10 P4P slot. What division should he campaign in ? Has to stay featherweight. The Santa Cruz rematch has to happen too, it's a great pay day and matchup for both guys. This could be a trilogy for the ages. Selby needs to get busier be...

I'd love to see it happen. Will it? Doubtful, Brook is a risk for him.

Frazier vs Ali 1 Frazier won the decision and very deservedly so, but Muhammad Ali was hurt and fought back. Got up from that bad knockdown in round 15. Sugar Ray Leonard in his losing effort to Roberto Duran 1. Two great shouts. Some response to the initial blog/thread to kick it off, will have a ...

Sure but a notch on haglers record like Tony Sibson > Willie Monroe and Lemieux. Sibson would fucken ice both of them too, in my opinion. And hagler dissected him with casual precision, like he was a teenager. Funny you should mention Sibson. I just rewatched his fight with Hagler a couple of hours...

[quote="Badhusker] Any boxer would risk his health if paid enough. Cases like Brook and Khan moving up ? The end result is what matters. They both got stopped. If you get stopped the fight was not competitive over-all. A lot of fighters are competitive for a while. Losing like Brook and Khan d...

Paul Smith, Anthony Fowler

That is a brilliant shout

Mental to think you could probably put up an argument that JMM won all four fights!

Vargas took some heavy shots eh. Since the Hopkins glove fiasco I've been suspicious of Tito, I can't help it.

As you write "Following Brook's performance..." does that imply that you feel Brook's stock has gone up after the GGG-fight? Sorry. I should read better. You start your article "As Kell Brook’s star shines brighter than ever before following his loss to Gennady Golovkin,"... I a...

McCullogh fought well against Naz didn't he. There was some mental shit going on in the corner during that fight, Naz just not listening to Brendan, trying to mug him off a bit.
