Don Charles - ESPN Podcast?
Bunce has just tweeted the ESPN podcast is available & includes "harrowing stuff" from Don Charles - anyone had a listen yet? I'm on my mobile so can't access at the moment, but I'm guessing it's something to do with Chisora on Saturday night?
Re: Don Charles - ESPN Podcast?
The 'harrowing' line is clickbait. He questions Dereck's future in the sport and his own role as Dereck's trainer. I don't think they should spend too much time analyzing Saturday night or the other times he's fallen short. He's found his level is all. There's nothing much that can be done about that. If Dereck is happy to be a gatekeeper at world level, crack on, if he's not, pack it in.

Cheers, I thought it might be Bunce exaggerating.
Re: Don Charles - ESPN Podcast?
Surprised he use the word 'harrowing'...Bunce usually likes the phrase 'brutally honest'.

That's the beauty of Twitter - Bunce is reduced to 140 characters or less

Does Don Charles train anyone apart from Chisora?
Re: Don Charles - ESPN Podcast?
I find it a bit weird that Warren is taking credit for the stoppage, mind.
Anyway, Chisora may not have the tools to beat Tyson Fury, but his performance on Sunday morning was shambolic, and completely beneath him. Charles is a nice man but hasn't got a clue how to devise fight strategy.

Re: Don Charles - ESPN Podcast?
He fought poorly but I wondered how much attention they'd paid to the possibility of Fury fighting as a southpaw. I can't listen to the podcast where I am so I don't know if Don addresses this in the interview. I hope we see Chisora again. He's a decent heavyweight who's usually good to watch so I think he can still earn quite well from boxing.

Just listened. Bunce seriously needs to look up the word 'harrowing' in a dictionary.milpool wrote:Surprised he use the word 'harrowing'...Bunce usually likes the phrase 'brutally honest'.
Mind you he did use the phrase 'brutally honest' which gave me a full house in Bunce Bingo.

He's a nice bloke and a glorified personal trainer who boxed with little success as a amateur. Used to sort door security out in North and West London.reggaereggae wrote:Thanks.
