Yeah he falls over his lead leg, looks uncharacterisically wild and ungainly for a Russian from what I can see though, Smith certainly not out of his depth from the admittedly little evidence I've seenRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 12:29GreenLightning wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 12:06 I havn't seen Kurbanov fight before but I see from his record he was dropped on way to a decision against Horvath who was toyed with by a green Eubank jr and also stopped by ten fight Williams and Buglioni, is there anything to look into there or just a bad performance?
KD was round 11.. watch it. And watch the highlights at the end of the round. Was not a KD.
Although the 2 comments in that video say Harvath should have won.
Record suggests he doesn't carry top level power either?margaret thatcher wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 12:28 hes better than that suggests but i still dont rate him too highly. rather basic and i think euro level at absolute tops. liam in with a very good shout here if he's up for it
far more experienced and prob a bit underrated, people got more excited about williams and eggy, but liam beat williams x2 and absolutely pounded sam, who then gave cheese a very tough fight
Half his wins are stoppages. But he does knock them down..GreenLightning wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 12:37Record suggests he doesn't carry top level power either?margaret thatcher wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 12:28 hes better than that suggests but i still dont rate him too highly. rather basic and i think euro level at absolute tops. liam in with a very good shout here if he's up for it

Yeh I just read this.. it was never gonna clash with Canelo-BJS.. might end up on FITE.mickey1975 wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 06:06 I saw on Twitter Eddie bought it for DAZN and asked the promoter to move it to the Friday, they agreed, then Eddie pulled out. Something very not right with him and the Smith lads if that's true.
It wouldn’t have clashed with Canelo/BJS - would have been a nice lead in for it!Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 06:28Yeh I just read this.. it was never gonna clash with Canelo-BJS.. might end up on FITE.mickey1975 wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 06:06 I saw on Twitter Eddie bought it for DAZN and asked the promoter to move it to the Friday, they agreed, then Eddie pulled out.

It shows how poor the promotion of this has been in the U.K. that I’d completely forgotten we’re less than 3 weeks away. It’s crazy that no one has announced a TV deal for it. Josh is managed by MTK but so is Sunny Edwards so I’m not sure that’s the reason it hasn’t been announced yet. Perhaps Bob’s wanting an unreasonable amount of money for it again (like with Brook/Crawford) or wants it on PPV over here.
Taylor is solely promoted by Arum. Who is US based.. although he has close relations with Frank and Taylor’s last fight took place in the UK and so broadcast on BT.maverick23 wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 11:13It shows how poor the promotion of this has been in the U.K. that I’d completely forgotten we’re less than 3 weeks away.

It’s pretty widely accepted that BT are looking to offload their Sports channels - when that happens businesses tend to heavily reign back on spending so that may be part of it too.

UK boxing is going downhill realistically.
In terms of broadcasting in general as well.
We could have a p4p no 1 super middle, We will have the undisputed heavyweight and maybe light welter!
Makes sense as Danny Kinahan could just reach into those deep drug dealing pockets. He's apparently a super nice guy when he's not dealing heroin to kids or having people shot What a legendRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 11:24Taylor is solely promoted by Arum.

A lot of English's guests are connected to DK. Herbert, Till, Frampton, Davison Warrington.... Darren Gee even called him out on it saying English had been to Dubai with Herbert to see him.GreenLightning wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 14:29 Ben Davison kissing Kinahans arse on James English podcast too, the comments are great, Kinahan is just a poor persecuted drug dealer the victim of a media witchhunt, can we have a bullet for English too please?
The gangster worship from his podcast is pathetic, anybody who's ever done a stint gets on there to talk about how big and bad and mad they were, it's for 16 year olds whose favourite films are Scarface and Goodfellas, although it's more Football Factory than Godfathermickey1975 wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 15:14A lot of English's guests are connected to DK.
