Boxing 2018

[Remmie]

Anyone ever been to a weigh in before? It's usually pretty surreal. I have no interest in these things usually but travelled to Germany for Haye vs Klitschko and didn't have much else to do so went along anyway and it was probably better than their fight. It was in some random sports clothing shop in the middle of Hamburg so loads of people squeezed in around racks of clothes with some chants coming out as Boxers walked up some stairs. Michael Buffer was there. Very odd and who plans it that way? Having a weigh in as some kind of event is weird in the first place, especially with fighters having to strip down to make weight.

Hopefully no crackhead judge this time.

Hopefully GGG doesn't allow the fight to get that far.

[Jairzinho]

Guessing the GGG fight will start at about 5am UK time?

Also, anyone got any idea of the order of the undercard? I'd quite like to see the Lemieux fight as well.

I'd imagine Spike v Lemieux will be be chief support. Hope Spike gets drilled the weapon.

[Jairzinho]

Cheers, and likewise.

[Captain Turdseye]

That’s wrong I think. The Munguia fight is chief support. Lemieux vs O’Sullivan is the fight before that. 

[Elite]

My bad. Great card either way, all those fights are worth watching 

[Bjornebye]

Could be the fight of the century this. Looking at both fighters records and Canelo has been in with the better fighters. He is punching concrete in GGG though. But.... Canelo wants this badly. Winner of this is straight P4P best in the world. 

[Aventus]

I reckon it'll be fireworks from the first bell, seemed like they both took a few rounds to size each other up and gauge how hard they can punch. It started getting really interesting in the later rounds but then it was over and I was left with blue balls. 

They've got that out the way, and both fighters will be more determined to finish it than last time. 

 

 

I'm going with Golovkin, I felt like he held back slightly last time thinking he had done enough. Now he's learned the hard way that the Vegas judges aren't to be trusted. 

 

Referee stoppage in the 10th

[SammyAftershave]

Golovikin's biggest fight is against the Las Vegas bent-arsed money making machine and all the ped's, dodgy decisions and Oscar De La Hoya mexican bank holiday bullshit's associated with it. Loaded deck, the only way the rightful winner of the last fight to win this one is via KO. Unlikely to happen. File under 'reasons to hate boxing'.

Adelaide Byrd is one of the judges.

They're definitely going to be in the ring at 4am. (They were scheduled to be in the ring at 4, last time and they were)

Undercard order is Gonzalez then Lemieux/Spike, then Munguia.

Guess I'll try and get a few hours kip then get up at 3am my time. Does look an interesting undercard.

[Captain Turdseye]

Fuck it, I’m getting the spare bedding on the couch and setting an alarm for 3:30.

I’d rep that twice if I could. Maybe even thrice.

He is just head and shoulders above everyone at the moment imo

He is making world class fighters look completely bewildered 

 

Best footwork in the sport
