Tyson came out absolutely guns blazing and almost knocked the referee out.

Any fighter regardless of what we may think of them who has the ranking to deserve a shot rather than this prick continually failing and getting inmediate rematches.

 

I just hate this rematch culture and especially when happens more than once ... for me lose your title - get in line. Lose it twice then deffo get in line.

 

 

I would call two losses continually failing. He was the champ and a rematch is normal. I get you don’t like him but how is the any different from every other time?

The 2 min rounds are killing any progress womans boxing makes. Saved Katie Taylor a few weeks back as no way she would have got through them middle rounds. They don't have time to get stoppages and you just know its going the distance. And anything under top Taylor,Shields level is poor. Womans MMA on the other hand is superb,because tbey go 3x5 or 5x5 min rounds

For women's boxing to move forward they need to fight in exactly the same criteria that the men do. 3 minute rounds, 12 Round fights and 8oz Gloves. Then it'll evolve like WMMA.

Yeah absolute waste of time.

 

Looks a talent Azim but impossible to judge in fights with opponents like that. Shane McGuigan doesn't generally train shite though.

[Lee909]

Hopefully he gets his wish and they move him quickly. Problem might be he is with sky and far too much promotors refusing to work together. Holding up way to many fights. 

[Lee909]

That's disgraceful from Ibarra

Rarely do I call a fighter a shithouse but little else to say about that performance. Losing the fight through 3 rounds, but still landing. Not marked up and she sits on the stool and starts ranting and shouting no at her trainer refusing to come out for the 4th. Just shouting I want to go home. Looks like she just turned up to get paid. Laughing and smiling wandering round the ring after

[Lee909]

Rodriguez looked sensational

22 just destroyed Rungvisai.

Ah , I only watched the highlights and it gave the impression that the trainer was stopping it.

The Loneliest Sport

'I felt sad at seeing the end of Joe Louis. It was hard to take. In his dressing room later, blood seeped from cuts above both of his eyes. One of his eyes was swollen shut. I was with him all the way but it was like trying to console an old, blind man. Squinting in pain and embarrassment, he was unable to put on his pants or locate his shoes. I bent down and worked his feet into his shoes and tied the laces. I helped him out of the ballpark.'

Disgrace what happened to him

Barely got a penny of his purses as his team took so much

 

Bloody Braddock got 10% of Louis earnings for 10 years after they fought

Of the over $4.6 million earned during his boxing career, Louis himself received only about $800,000

 

Then when he fought fights for miliatry veteran charities after the war, he never made a penny,but because he paid the money to them personally and signed the cheques the IRS decided he needed to pay tax on these "earnings". 

 

On a nicer note Max Schmeling made a good living post war by running a coca cola factory in Germany and would send Joe some money from time to time and paid the full costs for his funeral

Breidis busting coupons. 

 

Anyone watch any of it?

[Jairzinho]

Immaculate performance from Tete that. 

[A Red]

Been listening to Joshua in interviews, I just cant warm to him. He's so scripted.

 

From what I can glean from the cliched stuff is that hes going to come out and use his advantages of size and height and he wants his corner to be able to tell him whether hes won a round or not. Fuck me, he should have a fair idea how a round has gone. Boxing by numbers, hes going to get knocked out.

[Lee909]

Joyce is fucking shite.

Just lumbering stiff with a good chin. 

 

Looks like the whole plan is to wait out Fury to win a title

I was actually at that Tyson/Francis in Glasgow, that cost me £80 and lasted all of 20 seconds.

Tyson/Francis was Manchester and went to a 2ns round 

 

You are thinking of Tyson/Savarese - that was in Glasgow and was over in 1st.

As i said lose your belt once have a rematch, lose it again - especially almost straight away....get to fuck and get back in line.

 

Usyk deserves a rematch if he loses this one then, yeah?....Same then should have happened for Ruiz who didn't get one after battering Joshua to be champ and then losing on pts in rematch.

The difference being these are the rematches. If the boot was on the other foot, then absolutely. But it isn't.

So Joshua can keep losing and then winning back belts on immediate rematches, but anybody who beats him along way does not get same opportunity if they then drop belts back to him?

 

I realise we can't have trilogys all the time - but this Joshua lad has had title taken off him twice now and got immediate rematches both times, clearly his team are good negotiators and get him these clauses and that helps him, but as i say for me he should get to fuck and earn his shot at the title as opposed to being given these immediate rematches.

 

Hopefully Usyk swills him again.

He fought well against an aged Klitschko. He deserves a bit of respect for that.

 

He can't handle pressure on him. Thats why he got levelled by Ruiz who went toe to toe instead of standing there getting the odd punch. 

 

Usyk is levels above him as a boxer and a fighter. Joshua clearly isn't shit but top level? World Champion sharing the same belts as some of the greatest? It's embarrassing. I just want to watch Fury get in his head then get him in the ring and punch his head in.
