The official Brook v Dan fight night discussion thread

[brilo33]

love the commentary, he is a bum don't know how he got the fight, BUT lets give him the benefit of the doubt

[jameswilson]

Who else thought the ref was gonna start belting out 'nessum dorma' when he bowed there?

[Neil Gee]

15 months out is a long time at this level.

[brilo33]

never took to the mcdonnell fighters, when i think jamie said he is not a boxing fan

I'm aghast the EBU had him so high in their rankings.

[rossij8]

First glance, looks like a typical Matchroom match up

Didn't an interviewer once have to explain to him who Roberto Duran was?

[Horse]

10-9 Yegorov

What by winning the first round?

[Tarkus]

I had a feeling Yegorov could be a dark horse, he is from Ukraine after all not Serbia. If he can overcome size difference he can cause an upset.

[Neil Gee]

Better than expected.

[Horse]

19-19 Even

[Fatsam]

Anyone who can hook me up plz

[Glass Joe]

i found it quite refreshing. Its his job, some boxers (or say footballers like David Batty famously) treat it as nothing more. As long as they approach it professionally what's the problem? God us boxing geeks can be demanding
the fvckers are slogging.their guts out and they are, what, supposed.to spend their spare time gaying out over Willie pep clips on youtube?

id much prefer that than boxers pretending they love the sport when its clearly nothing more than their own vehicle for fame and nothing more

[Horse]

hope this card picks up

It has, hasn't it?

[jameswilson]

Amir Khan's boxing knowledge is shocking too.

[Neil Gee]

I still expect McDonnell to get the stoppage around six

[Andrew]

Padded record on paper but yegrov is giving it a good go.

I think inactivity will impact him later.

[Horse]

38-38 Even

[Counter-puncher]

Amir Khan's boxing knowledge is shocking too.

to be fair i doubt there is a subject on earth on which khan could express himself with the eloquence of a particularly bright 12 year old

[Horse]

48-47 McDonnell

I know what you mean, and I don't expect boxers to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the sport. Just thought it was odd not to have even heard of a very famous predecessor. McDonnell would certainly not be welcome on my pub quiz team

true enough , but as a boxing fan feel i have nothing in common with him , we know when we think about it they are all prize fighters. but we ignored that, and we feel they are fighting for their blood, country, people. tell me when you see morales v pacquiao you diddnt think what pride these men have
