Richie Woodhall made me laugh when he said a point off was  fair result, then seemed to want to backtrack after when it was put to him Skeete hadnt recovered from getting chinned while on the floor.

Woodhall was a right twat wasn't he? Fletcher hadn't the balls to fully pull him on it.

 

I was talking to Barry Jones and Steve Bunce after the Frampton vs Donaire fight in Belfast. Both of them said Woodhall is an asshole. Jones said he doesn't even have conversations with him away from the camera/punditry.

We asked the lads to call him over for a chat and they said no as they knewhe'd say no. They implied he was up his own arse. 

 

I liked Woodhall and didn't like Bunce prior to actually meeting and speaking with Bunce.

Nonito Donaire gave a legendary speech at that final press conference:

 

"This is a gentlemen's sport. I believe that it gives a lot of credibility to a fighter when he can speak to somebody with respect, with sportsmanship. That's what I bring out there. To inspire people that it's not about being on top and talking crap about other people - yes, there's things like that, and that's okay, that's part of the game - but I believe that a greater man can look into his opponent's eyes, and shake hands with them, and go for the kill when they're in the ring. At the end of it all, it's a sport; it's a game; it's a career. Again, everybody is different; they have their own perspective. For me, my perspective is, I love the sport of boxing, it's what's given me everything I have, and I'm going to represent it to the best of my ability with respect, honour and integrity."
