Bigger one by the day ,still that sort of behaviour must appeal to the juvenile minds .

Sadly that kind of behaviour appeals to the masses and so everyone concerned, Ben himself, promoters, broadcasters etc will forget about class and the dignity of the sport and will just chase the dollar

I am joking, I am also whiter than a white man covered in milk holding a can of white paint. Calm down, it's only a forum mate.

I do think sometimes though that Brits like plucky losers who know their place. Shades of Bruno.

Yup times have changed sadly.
I find it really offensive that you could mock someone that's trying to make a living in the hardest of sports .
I think generally people on the whole have much less respect for others than the used to or maybe it's just pantomime and I'm a grumpy old man taking it too seriously.

what I do think this does show is people will tune it either cos they like it or cos they want to see someone smash his head in. And based on mental health I'll likely be in both camps :)

Bruno was way more than a plucky loser

Any of you heard of Muhammed Ali? Very similar criticisms aimed at him

Never realized Poulsen was a former European champion

I mean his Tom-ish Gutteridge discourse.

If your names Ali and your showboating against George the ferocious Foreman fair enough . But whe your names whittaker and youcan showboat like that against a guy who should.nt be in with you . THEN i suggest instead of making a hateful pratt of himself .he uses the talent he has to get that guy and every other guy out of there very very quickly . THEN hes going to get noticed has potential talent ala Boots Ennis has opposed to a prick ala Connir Benn

Vaguely. Quite a principled chap iirc.

or Cassius Clay as half the forum no doubt insist on calling him :)

Poulsen has barely landed a punch in 4 rounds

Ffs

Poulsen shoulder gone, TKO. Backflips aplenty. Ironic that Groves commentating.

Poulson looked poor and didn't look as if he carried any power whatsoever.

Azim needs stepping up surely he's better than these guys .

Always a bummer when a fight ends like that, Poulsen's shoulder went as he threw the right, didn't look much in it, was expecting a haymaker in the replay, clearly its still an issue, shame, hadnt really got going, Poulsen looked sharp but wasn't landing anything really, Azim still in first gear landing the jab and occasionally dropping the right hand, was landing all the punches, would've liked to have seen him turn the screw in the second half but not to be

Groves says a dislocated shoulder is "arguably more painful than childbirth" !

not a good end, poor sod, Azim a worthy winner though regardless.

made me laugh, Groves is on the sofa tonight. Bet he's kipping at Carl's.

Let's hope the main event is decent.

The rest of the card what I've seen has been really poor .
Sky really are dragging their feet where boxing is concerned.
