Does Frank Maloney hate Martin Power?

[Londonirish]

John Convey was a very nice Fella think we fought 3 times could'nt meet a nicer Chap , how is he doing?

[scrap iron]

Horse my dear boy, did you not read my post?

If Maloney has Davies signed up then why would he care? Answer: he won't!

Mr Untouchable - do you know anything about boxing!!!

Spud you tit, aren't you meant to be enjoying a holiday?

[neil hibbert]

lets be honest martin you were telling every1 u wer gonna stop davis in the 1st round and that he was a stepping stone 4 a title shot, that is why he was shouting at the end of the fight not showing disrespect. lets be honest what respect was shown to him before the fight?

Yes this was a fight for me to get back in, i knew it wouldnt of been the easyiest coz of how big he is, but when did i say id stop davis in 1 round. Telling everyone ?? But going by the people he fought and struggled with and how many times he's been put over i should have stopped that type of opponent in a Round But i didnt i was Absolutely Shit on the Night aint got No explanation why
I never go into a fight saying im going to do this or im going to do that!!

lets be honest what respect was shown to him before the fight?

What do you mean?
I never said a word to him before the fight.

Whether there was respect or not the OTT celebrations were uncalled for. Once Martin was stopped and clearly hurt Davies didn't give a monkey for his welfare.

[neil hibbert]

well a lot of people seemed to of heard something you supposedly havent said!! strange, well i heard a rumour that u didnt put much training in? well u didnt exactly look in shape at the weigh in, i have respect for you and hope you can come back, and i hope davis knocks out booth aswell for calling him out on sky!!! i know davis meant no disrespect when he was celebrating it was just a few years of frustration letting out at once.

Power was 'hurt' in the sense that he was stunned but I actually thought the stoppage was quite premature. Okay the fight did seem to be going that way, but as soon as martin got rocked it took 1/2 grazing shots that had little effect and the referee stepped in. Maybe it was just the angle I saw it from.

But you're right in saying those celebrations were way over the top.

[neil hibbert]

he was hurt at the end of the 1st, then was taking repeated shots then an uppercut which was right on the button and theres no way out for martin and the ref saved him from more punishment, believe me no1 punches harder than davies at that weight

[Horse]

and i hope davis knocks out booth aswell for calling him out on sky!!!

Isn't it a good thing for Davis to get called out? It is surely better than being ignored.

[neil hibbert]

yer 2 rite but its no good calloin sum1 out when theve refused to fight davis lol i think booths at the end of his career an will be lookn 4 a bigger payday than defending his title, hes a clever boxer but davis wilkl have 2 much power if the fight happens

[Spud]

Surely regardless of what has happened before the fight - everyone knows that is part of the hype and selling the fight - normally when the ref stops the fight or the final bell has rung both boxers and corners should pay their respects to the opposing corner!!!

Time and time again you will see an over elated corner in boxing to calm down and do the right thing after a fight!!!

[neil hibbert]

yes i agree and davis went to shake hands with power and have some photos after the fight. now hope to see him ko booth

[fatton]

Juan Manuel Lopez might have something to say about that.

that would be a good toe to toe fight lol

[Londonirish]

well a lot of people seemed to of heard something you supposedly havent said!! strange,

The only thing that i did say was at Breakfast to my Trainer and that was " What an Ugly fella Davis is "..


I said this you said that, he said you did say it, bit Childish aint it...

hahah cant argue there, was a sweet uppercut he got you with though, does he punch as hard as ive heard?

[neil hibbert]

[rhino222]

yeah what a cracking fight that would be...

Can't understand why Lopez hasn't been calling Davies out. Maybe he's running scared? You should ask on the current scene Neil. They'd like you there.

It was Power who wanted to go straight in against Munyai.

I don't think Maloney should have let him though. Power still had the British title at that time and could have rebuilt with that.

I think Frank Maloney has done extremely well for Martin Power - despite the defeats Frank has given Martin another go and another so looking at it that way - I think you are a stupid **** for posting this thread.

No need for the potty mouth Spud. Do you really think that it was in the best interests of Martin Power to match him so tough after his defeat to Munyai?

Horse your thread is f*cking stupid in my opinon - Frank Maloney in my opinion looks after his fighters in the best way he can - he gives them chance after chance sometimes when they do not deserve it and in addition he gives his fighters much needed paydays - and by matching them tough and in TV fights it ups the money for the fighter as well and puts food on the table.

I have had many rucks with Frank over the years - but the one thing for certain is that he looks after his fighters - so I will emphasise my point that you are a stupid **** for posting this thread - if people and you disagree with that I have no problems - but just look at your title - what a stupid ****.

I actually agree with you for once, Spud... although I'll stop short of slinging swear words about... Frank Maloney does indeed look after his boxers. He looks after the fans, too, by consistently putting on VFM promotions.

So, you do think that matching Power tough was the right thing to do? Four losses in a row will surely be hard to come back from.

I would have thought that by taking less money now and picking up a win; it would be better for him in the long run when he can make more money at British, Commonwealth or European level, instead of losing in a comeback fight against a relative unknown.

Gary Davies didn't look an overly ambitious match on paper. I don't have a problem with it.

[DavidPayne]

I dont like the C-word, even if you've placed asterixs over it. Its unneccessary.

I dont think the title is helpful but the theme is no different to a thousand of other subjects we've discussed.

Nobody intervened when we slag off Pele Reid's matchmaking, Spud didn't jump up and down in the terrible matchmaking thread.

And I see the inevitable wink wink smilies are back. God save us.

[banjo]

yes i agree and davis went to shake hands with power and have some photos after the fight. now hope to see him ko booth

Why did Booth call him out?

not really sure why he decided to call gary out but i dont think that fight will happen as booth is looking 4 a bigger payday than defending his title again, plus dont fancy him to last long against davis power

[rhino222]

sounds like davis is the new coming of mike tyson.......almost overnight!!!! however, perusal of his record would suggest otherwise.
