I just can't seem to recall it.

Re: Joe Calzaghe - Question Mark
One of our fastest, most fluid and adaptable ever fighters. Also had tremendous physical strength and stamina. Very assertive, imposed himself in every fight. Poor punching technique perhaps made him look a little faster than he truly was. And was content to face mediocre opposition in the frustrat...

Re: Daniel Jacobs vs. John Ryder | DAZN - 12 February 2022
John fought brilliantly on the undercard for Canelo v Jacobs and i guess that didn't go unnoticed in setting this fight up? Good fight that i definitely would like to watch.

Re: What individual person, boxer or fight got you hooked?
Johnny Owen, the Merthyr matchstick. I was only young when he was in his prime but fascinated how someone so skinny could be so tough.

Re: Come on be honest, who had Degale, Haye and Murray ?
I had Groves and Wlad. Based on being more proven. I picked Murray more because of his opponent than Murray's talent. I thought Mitchell's head had gone, I didn't find his pre-fight words to be very sincere. I felt the court case, the family drama and the Katsidis defeat would all come home to roos...

Re: Does anyone fancy Nicky Cook tonight?
I am a fan of both fighters, they are a credit to the sport. My head says a Burns win but i expecting it to be closer than the odds suggest.4/1 is excellent value and tempting to have a bet but ultimately will probably be money down the drain?

Re: Referees Ruining Fights
No way should the ref have stopped Tony but also no way should he have stopped Ovill either. When you see Enzo Macc being able to carry on at the magnificent 7 show just before he was brutally KO'd, where he was in a far worse condition to continue than any fighter last night, i wonder if that has a...

Re: Paul (Smigga) Smith V (James Chunky) Degale
I think Smith is being sacrificed like Steve Robinson for Naz. Couldn't agree more! Naz was a great champion but Robbo was almost rushed/bullied into taking that fight. I reckon Degale is a better fighter than Smith but this match up may have come 1 or 2 fights too soon? Smith's experience and home...

Re: khan has to fight the perfect fight as he hasnt got a chin
Khan has impressed and improved massively since going to Roach but got a horrible feeling he is going to win all first seven or so rounds easily but get tagged by a wild bomb by Maidana in middle/late rounds. I hope i am wrong though as i didn't rate the fella initially but i thought his performance...

Re: Johnny Owen - ITV Wales
Cheers for that.
The documentary called The long journey shown on Welsh regional television (national also maybe?) years back was excellent and if this is half as good as that it will be essential and emotional viewing.

Re: Who is the Best British Fighter Never to Win a World Title?
I was a big fan of Colin Jones, so he would be my choice. I never tire of watching his 2 classic fights against Laing.
