Old bones Ian wrote: 21 Dec 2024, 13:22 I'm interested in the Moses Itauma vs Dempsey McKean fight.
Moses hasn't been beyond the 2nd round in his last 6 fights, McKean has proven durability and is in shape.
So could be interesting, McKean is saying all the right things about still having ambition but we have heard this before from many boxers.
If Moses has started believing his own hype and gets pushed into the later rounds he may blow out.
My pick is for Moses to come through a couple of big hits to win in 5 rounds.
really impressive how calm he seems - he's still only 19 and everyone speaks highly of him. Very unique background too in terms of where he's from and lived too, very marketable.

I am hugely looking forward for the Allen fight, been following his YT channel and he has trained properly and it's been refreshing to hear neither of them slagging each other off.
Dave Allen has some marketability but last 2 times he's faced an ambitious boxer in Clarke and Price he was found disappointing in his performance.
I've got a feeling the same will happen here, he doesn't quite meet the level
very possible Ian, I am biased where Allen is concerned as he spars sometimes where I live and I know one of the fighters he manages so admittedly pro-Allen despite everything

:lol:
Sean's boobs and his wife's beard...?!
Sounds like fun @ the Brennan house... :confused: :o :lol:


Lapin was pretty good, but another dull one - at least go for the stoppage. :zzz: :witzend:
He looks like a 90s fighting-game character too.

Allen seems a decent bloke who knows what he is in life and his own faults , no bad thing and he doesn't go in for the slagging matches. Good luck to him , plus he might shut Big John Fisher up .....bosh

Just spotted one of the security team for the ring walks is Gavin Bilton, Worlds Strongest Man competitor and former UK Strongest Man. He guest lifted at event I did years ago, largest chap I've seen in the flesh, 30 stone! He's the security fella with the funny tasche. Was a gent.

That is my random crap fact of the day.

Bunce saying McGrail’s taking a dangerous and brave fight as a replacement here

But the guys only got four knockouts. Surely that’s his only chance?

I mean I don’t know him, but I haven’t heard of him so presumably he’s not better than mcgrails pedigree.

I'm good mate. I was supposed to be out in Saudi for this one, but the Mrs isn't too well, so I'm being a good boyfriend and watching it at home instead.

Decent amateur and definitely not a walkover, but Peter's work rate means he'll need a stoppage to win.

Maybe his friendship with Fury has pulled
Some strings to get him later in the card?

Can’t help wondering about his chin because he looks a dead cert otherwise, but sparring Nick ball, Presumably his chin is good enough, it’d have to be

If it wasn't for that KO loss we'd all be creaming over PMG - he really does have incredible tekkers.
