Yeah to be fair they both have a pleasing air of potential filthiness to them

To be fair they could well be post-op

In regards to Robin Deakin I wish he would retire tbh, I briefly spoke with him at a show in 2012 and imo he was looking worse for wear then. Slurred speech, didn't look right and retired after 3 rounds against Andrei Podusovs. I have seen what can happen when boxers go on too long and imo he showed the same signs as a punchy fighter of middle age but he was only in his 20's.

If he really is adamant about carrying on in boxing I'd rather he went down the coaching side and pass on what he has learnt over his career than to carry on taking punches for a few hundred quid.

At the end of the day it's his choice and he won't listen to anyone but hopefully whoever he is being licensed by take a serious look at him going forward as he is a fighter and will always want to fight. I'd also like to see those around him i.e. friends, family, coach, manager and governing body to do the right thing and try get him to stop fighting before something bad happens to Robin.

Excellent post mate whoever licenced him after the board pulled his licence are an absolute disgrace imo

I see Robin is still calling Connor benn out even though he was stopped in 2 rounds in Spain recently I reckon he's just deluded and seeking attention he's mad if he believes that Eddie Hearn would have any interest in making the fight

Possibly just for the pay packet. Benn would stop him like every one else has but its possibly a fight that would earn him a decent cheque to go out on. Thats my reasoning anyway, because he cannot possibly think Benn is worse than what he's fought to date.

Just looking for publicity by my reckoning unless he's completely lost the plot altogether

Robin is still waiting for the call to make the Connor benn fight I think he might waiting a long time lol he needs to forget all about it and move on with his life imo

Robin should move on with his life and become a trainer etc he can still be involved in the sport

50 pro fights is enough for anyone imo

I'm not sure his fighters would understand anything he mumbles out of his mouth....

Yes good point take out a trainers licence because surely he must realise that his time has gone and I would hate to see him get seriously hurt

Spudder, you are just obsessed with this topic. Let it go!

Read Mark Turley's book Journeymen and you'll find out how

Essentially these guys with the records where they lose over and over again fight after fight. These fights aren't legitimate. The fighters with the horrible records aren't trying to win them most of the time because if they do they stop getting work, and the officials are giving them to the guy with the better looking record just out of habit whether they actually won them or not.

Basically until you see a British prospect taking on another kid with a winning record, he hasn't been in a REAL professional fight yet.

This isn't always the case, but it's the case 80 to 90% of the time from the sound of it.

Not obsessed mate very concerned for Robins health and wellbeing tbh

I don't know what robin sounded like before he boxed but to me (and it's just my opinion) he sounds punchy! I don't understand why anyone would want to box on after showing signs of decline - first tiny decline in anything I wouldn't box again

I have no doubt that the Board's decision to withdraw Robin's licence was well intentioned.

However; what was not well intentioned was various Board members confirming to Robin that he could have an appeal after Robin said in advance he couldn't submit all the requirements within the permitted 14 days, and then to actually take his money, and then tell him he couldn't have an appeal was shocking.

I know people may say I don't want to get into any he said/she said conversation, but why take his money, and still have it!

Also, the Board said they were taking his licence for health reasons but didn't expand. Did he have a septic in growing toe nail that prevented him from boxing. This analogy of its self evident is nonsense.

Regardless of his record, I am sure that Robin is worthy of the same treatment as anyone else and this situation needs to brought to people's attention.

It's wrong. Whilst Robin's chances of regaining his licence may have been slim, at least he would have had a chance.

Haha Robin is hilarious on the back of his two recent stoppage losses in Spain he is calling out both Connor benn and Ohara Davies lol whatever next will he dream up
