Be funny to see one of these brave keyboard warriors have a dig at her in person when she is stood with Nelson, Froch and Macklin at a show.

Most of those trolls probably couldn't take her, even if she was on her own.

Pathetic behaviour.

I'm like that.

If it happens after 9pm, I don't see the problem. That's the official watershed, isn't it? Why apologise for the language on anything at that time of night?

It is ridiculous hearing It "apologies for the language you should be able to sit and watch two men beat the shit out of each other without being offended by words" :lol:

You know who I blame for Adam Smith? Ian Darke, until Darkey took a step away from boxing to concentrate on football Smithy was nothing more than a ringside reporter who also narrated some of the features. Ian then just concentrated on the big fights and somebody decided to give Smith the commentating gig where we were introduced to his endless cliches and constant growling, then when Darke went completely Smith went full time, then Smith decided he wanted to be a presenter as well as head of boxing so we got Nick Halling :witzend:

Fighters getting announced as "former undefeated"...
It’s not the fighter, it’s referring to the title. If he’s not lost a title in the ring, “former, undefeated, WBC International Champion”

two more....

1. when someone latches onto an extreme opinion held by only a few, and then acts like thats the prevaling opinion that everyone has


its especially common when you get some outlier providing extreme amount of overrating or hype of a fighter, and then some person just has to come along and act like everyones ridiculously hyping that fighter. then predictably they start rooting against the fighter and finally when that fighter loses yells hype job

2. guys who go after fighters for being overhyped and overrated, because they havent beat nearly good enough opposition, but then even when someone comes along and pretty much cleans out the division vs the top fighters and schools several of them in the process, still getting all huffy and hostile toward that fighter and calling them overrated and wanting them to lose

these types of people just cant stand any good amount of excitment over a fighter

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but it does my head in when a fighter wins a 60/40 or 50/50 fight and then tries to completely re-write history and make out as if not a single person believed they'd win.

When you get a usually fat guy in the front row getting redder and redder as the fight goes on and around round 5 he starts standing up and shadow boxing in the middle of the fight.

Sit down you fat tool.

The BBBoC using the same bunch of officials every week. It's always a rotation of Ian JL, Terry Oconner, Howard Foser etc. All taking turns to judge or referee. Judging and refereeing are 2 different things - can they not afford to hire dedicated judges? You never see that crap in vegas? Did Mills Lane ever judge a few undercards before reffing the main event? Does the BBBoC not have enough money to fly in impartial judges? Why are these guys never held to account? The Fck ups I've seen over the years is enough to put together a comedy sketch. I once seen Ian John Lewis award a fighter 30 points in a 3-round prizefighter contest in which he was floored in the 2nd round. Terry O'Conner actually physically helped Nathan Cleverly back to his stool at the end of a round that Kovalev flattened him in. I could go on. But nothing ever happens. Grinds my gears.
