Re: What now for brook

Brook weakened himself last time out making a low weight with the Khan fight in mind, now that's gone he can allow his body to be at 154 where it should be. Brook also came into the fight with probably the wrong mindset, especially compared to the opponent who came to give his all. The opponent didn...

Re: Boxers that could have used a ‘Jack Reiss’

IMO there should always be a full 10 count issued unless a fighter is in clear immediate medical danger such as convulsing etc. Other than that a full count should be issued which might be pointless in many cases but it removes all doubt and controversy.

Re: Fury's Heart

Agreed. It was miraculous how he got up and came back from that. Truly Holmes/Shavers territory. Can you imagine Terry O'Connor or Howard Foster seeing Fury like that.

Re: Fury's Heart

The amount of time he got to recover from getting knocked down is ridiculous, almost on a par with the 30 seconds Benn got vs McClellan. Not really....he hit the deck at 2.23 and the fight resumed at 2.02. The referee issues the count and then did a couple of checks to make sure that Fury was in a ...

Re: HEARN'S QUIET

Hean has no reason to be quiet....he and Joshua are in an improved position really. The draw and obvious controversy between Fury/Wilder certainly doesn't hurt Joshua or Hearn. It actually helps them because Wilder has lost some credibility given that he should have lost, and Fury rightly or wrongly...

Re: AJ vs Wilder...what tactics would AJ use

Joshua's best bet would be too come in light and fast and go straight for the kill. Wilder can't counter punch so its not really risky being aggressive with him......far more dangerous if Joshua tried to box cagily which would give Wilder the time and space to measure and line up his right hand. Jos...

With this move Chisora is giving himself the best chance of achieving in what is left of his career. He showed against Takam and Whyte the first time that when he's motivated he's a genuine challenge to anyone....and if he can build on that with improved conditioning, nutrition and dedication to the...

Alvarez will do whatever Alvarez wants to do......he and his promoter have a corrupt relationship with the WBC and the Nevada state athletic commission. No f*cker will ever get a fair shake against this guy.

Ritson has great potential.......because he can punch like hell, is huge for a lightweight, and has an outstanding temperament. He's also a very likeable lad who will appeal to the masses if he keeps doing the business. But he is still raw and even though he's walked through British level, there hav...

Re: Jamie McDonnell (WBA 'Regular') vs. Naoya Inoue - May 25th 2018

While Inoue looked sensational I think there is a real danger in going overboard over this win, which in all honesty came against a ridiculously weight weakened champion. McDonnell should have moved up a long time ago but boiled down once more because the money on offer was too good to turn down.......

Re: Sparring partner compares power of Joshua, Wilder, Wlad

Wilder probably has the more explosive single shot bomb, but a great many of his punches are sloppy and I would imagine his power is inconsistent.
