Re: Does Murray have ANY chance v GGG?

He's going to have to do a Lloyd Honeyghan and fight the fight of his life and hope GGG comes in over-confident/undertrained, which I just can't see happening. I think Murray will give it his all, he's a good pro and decent fighter, but short of this kind of level.

Re: If Wilder Fury happens this Summer, who wins?

Think Wilder, being the more explosive of the two, will catch Fury and bomb him out at some point.

Re: Disappointed with Bellew

What a wally. All this crap didn' t scare Cleverly the last time did it so he should push his energies into something more positive, like how he actually is going to beat him.

Re: Shawn Porter breaks down fight with Kell Brook

I think Brook's in trouble in this fight. He'll be forced to fight outside his comfort zone and I fancy Porter to break him down in about 8 rounds.

Re: McCallum - Watson - analysis video

His two fights with Toney were very good too. Actually thought he won both. aye, the first especially was a great technical war on both sides- from memory there are 1/2 swing rounds which could have lead me to score 115-113/113/115 or 114-114 Yes it was one of those 'down to interpretation' and Ton...

Re: McCallum - Watson - analysis video

When you see how Julian Jackson wreaked havoc after he lost to McCallum that was a great win. Only a round or so while it lasted but a total war with both guys really going for it. McCallum was brilliant that night too. McCallum was the bollocks. Him and Azumah Nelson two of my favourites from the 8...

Re: McCallum - Watson - analysis video

i used to get told off for parring the jab away with my right hand .. No it's a perfectly good defence. The trick is to not reach out too far to parry, or if you do make sure it's a good enough to unbalance the other guy so he can't follow it up. It takes time and confidence to perfect a good parry...

Re: best fighter you've seen box in the flesh

Hatton on the way up against Thaxton. He was like a threshing machine. Mike McCallum on the Benn v McLellan undercard. He was past his best and didn't have a great opponent in front of him but he just oozed class. So relaxed. Also, Glen Johnson when he beat Toks Owoh over here. He was excellent that...

Re: Froch/Groves II: How you see the fight panning out

Groves has done 12 ok a few times. He would have again if Foster hadn't grabbed him... Oh yeah because he was looking so comfortable around the point of the stoppage :lol: To be fair he looked in far worse shape against Kenny Anderson and came back to win so who knows.

Re: Has anyone seen the wilder fight?

He's a bit like a heavyweight version of Wayne Alexander. Not very polished Until you nail him to the floor you're in danger! Exciting but really vulnerable.

Re: Khan ,haters and doubters

Great controlled performance from Khan. Held and pushed a bit too much but hey, better fighters (Ali, Mayweather) get away with such discressions all the time. Best performance since he outboxed Kotelnik. Kept to the game plan and didn't give the other guy too many chances to clock him and when he g...

Re: Mayweather running

I'm putting a fiver on Maidana just for shits and giggles and at the very least think he'll give Mayweather the closest and hardest fight he's had since De La Hoya. (Reckon the Alvarez fight flattered Floyd and think Canelo was really tight at the weight).

As talented as he was he didn't have that extra gear that would have propelled him to a title. That little bit 'extra' when he really needed it.

He needs to start waking the walk. He's boring, he doesn't put any pizazz into it and goes through the motions. He doesn't deserve a world title shot.

Slap bang on the temple and he didn't even see it coming. i've had it happen to me with a headguard on in sparring once and didn't go down but I couldn't feel my legs for about five seconds it was the strangest sensation.

Re: Froch v Groves 2: early predictions

I just fancy Froch to come in more motivated and get the better of Groves in another war. Groves was unlucky to get stopped no doubt and he didn't have a chance to fight back. People are saying he was finished and saved, but he fought back from dire straights against Anderson and didn't get the chan...

Re: If Mike Tyson hadn't gone to jail 1991 - 1994

Don't think it mattered after Douglas. The mystique had been shattered and he had been shown to be human. Perhaps he may have had the beating of Holyfield prior to his jail term, but he was starting to look vulnerable from the minute Rooney went and King got a really tight grip on him. In fact I thi...

Alan Minter, (I was about 8 ) and remember both of his fights v Antuofermo on TV and then him getting beaten by this scary bloke called Hagler. Clips and interviews of Ali, and the rise of Sugar Ray Leonard too. Halcyon days!

Nothing going to put muscle on his chin and the resolve to fight back needs to come from within, does he have that?
