Boxing 2019

Good fight that.

 

Ritson is great to watch.

[John102]

Surprised it was so wide but thought he did just enough.

 

Great fight.

[Curly]

Just finished watching it all back. Davies Jr thought he could walk down anything Ritson had, and probably could, but ended up getting out-boxed. As limited as Ritson is, he’s durable and would give most at 140 at least a durable night. I think he should get into the Ingle gym - they’d get him fighting like a form Brook. The lad has timing, just limited variation on his attacks.

 

Cheeseman made a fight of it with Fitzgerald, but was always the avoider, which was his undoing in the end. Put himself in front, but was always trying to avoid a boxing match. Made up he got beat. Fucking horrible arrogant cockney prick.

 

If I was Fitzgerald there is no way I’d be entertaining a Fowler rematch. He should be screaming from the rafters for a smith fight - elevates him among the top 10 if he wins that, although I reckon Beefy bullies him. His best chance though. Brook wouldn’t touch him

[Elite]

The sky commentary bias towards Cheeseman last night was shameful. He may have not defended with his face like usual but he was on the back door all fight and didn't land anywhere enough for it to be considered a 'boxing clinic'. Fitzgerald held the centre of the ring all fight and won the last 4 rounds at a canter.

 

Ritson v RDJ was closer than the scorecards but Ritson is mad calling out the winner of Taylor/Prograis, they'd absolutely destroy him.

[sir roger]

Never get my head around them apologising for swearing on the boxing , you are televising a sport where peoples brains are being rearranged minute by minute and it is way after the watershed so who cares if you hear the odd fuck or whatever.

[sir roger]

Agree with both of you guys re last night's fights. Cheesman was cuter than usual but didn't land enough, it isn't Strictly Come Dancing after all and Ritson did well and might get a big fight out of it but won't go much further.

 

That Newcastle lad who appears to train outside pubs made me laugh with his ' Newcastle are you not entertained ? '

comment , the answer presumably being - well no not really, you are an annoying talent vacuum. 

[Bjornebye]

Boxers know that the hype is as important as the talent these days to get the big fights because promoters care more about box office than the best pugilists going at it. Billy Joe Saunders has called out just about every fighter since Rocky Marciano or bad mouthed them. "ooh do or say something mad so people lap it up and want to see it again". Its going to get a fighter killed in the ring one day. 

[John102]

Yeah, Dave Allen has made a bit of a career out of it, alongside being an IFL regular. I only saw the first half of cheeseman fight but he was boxing very well and won pretty much every round for me.  

 

Be very surprised if Ritson is anywhere near Taylor any time soon after last night. Imagine he will sell out a few newcastle shows first against british level fighters, with loads of geordies on the undercards. Be suprised if he ever gets near to Taylors level, even for a cash out fight at St James. He is exciting to watch though.

[sir roger]

Champing at the bit over Taylor / Prograis.

Ryan Burnett has announced his retirement from boxing. Shocking that. Only 27 and had such a story to get where he had done. Real chance he would have been top of the tree in his era.

 

Cant wait for prograis Taylor as well as Sir. If I’m honest I haven’t tuned into anything live of prograis’ fights, but have watched the highlight reel stuff, so can’t really say I have an opinion on the outcome. I think Taylor made a good point yesterday about his record though - I think taylor’s is better too. Irrelevant I suppose in the end, but I am absolutely buzzing for this.

 

I can’t describe the happiness though if Pricey were to starch Chisora. I know it doesn’t seem likely, but if price can turn it into a bit of a clinic for first 3 or 4, Chisora might let his head drop a bit.

Price struggles come round 3 when he has had a full camp. he stepped into this at late notice. He will be on his knees by the end of the 1st. 

[Elite]

Looking forward to tonight, some good match ups and the main event is immense. Hope Taylor can do it.

 

As for Pricey, hope he lands the punch of his life but he's probably on the bog already and will remain there until it's time to warm up, he'll be emotionally drained by tea time.

I know that’s how it will probably go, but I get emotionally invested in big pricey’s fights more than anyone else. First because he’s a good lad and one of our own, but also because of his lack of a tank and unstable chin. Would be amazing if he won.

[KMD7]

Love Price and hope he makes a few quid for himself tonight without getting too badly hurt

Hopefully he's had Eddie's pants down for being a late replacement.

What time is all this kicking off?

7pm the event starts, so it'll be 9ish for Chisora/Price and then Taylor/Prograis follows.

[moof]

Cheers mate. Come on pricey. That main event is banging as well

[John102]

Under card on youtube now

Is it just on Sky or on box office?

Box office I think, mate. If I find a stream I’ll pop it in here so all of you upstanding citizens can help me report it to the relevant authorities

Chisora now 6/4 to beat Price inside 6. That's great odds.

[Elite]

No entirely Okolies fault this time but fuck me he's painful to watch.
