Boxing At The Weekend...

[gnasher16 30,062]

Plenty of fighters get outclassed and dont have much natural flair it doesnt stop them going to the top....Rocky Marciano was a terrible boxer but he didnt do too bad.

Yes but he knew his flaws and worked to them and took advice, do you think young eubank can change

Eubanks promotion & backing will help him get far aswell regardless 

and he gets people taking & divides opinion 

w,l,d most people tune in to see Jnr as they either can't stick him or they back him,and there's a few fun match ups out there for him 

[Billy b 762]

He did,placed his shots well,mixed it up,genuinely did everything right tonight

Is ortiz finished? Judging by last night's performance it looks like the boogie man is ripe for the picking.

Ortiz was terrible against Allen and that was a couple of years ago iirc. Hearn basically let him go after that fight .

f****n idiot....what happens in the gym stays in the gym... no class whatsoever

He’s getting the back ripped outa him for doing it

[Billy b 762]

Okolie shouldlnt be trying to gain momentum with sparring footage.....Taking too much heed of sparring is always a bad sign,whether from fan or fighter & as gnasher said it is classless & should stay in the gym

[MickC 1,825]

Whyte had it all over social media that he had knocked down Fury many times in sparring,people in glass houses . Too many gym stories made into front page/social media news in this day and age. Boxing is getting more and more like reality tv now and with just as much BS involved with it if not more .

Havent seen yarde for a while. He climbed the ranks fairly quick but looked very raw. Interested to see how hes improved since i last seen him.

Yes yarde looks to have all the right attributes but it's very very early to tell judging on his opposition,you can only fight who's in front of you & he's done that but opponents have bin poor,let's see how he gets on tonight

Tomorrow night bivol fights aswell & the 16th is spence v Garcia 

i rate Garcia a lot & respect the fact he's game & up for a proper challenge,but can't see him getting past spence at that weight 

[Billy b 762]

Yeah,big ask for mikey,and one that he won't get past 

 

[gnasher16 30,062]

Hope to see Johnny Garton get a nice comfortable win tonight and set him up for what will be a good little tear up with young Mr Benn.....old school tough guy Johnny i didnt think he would get to where he has but shows where good old fashioned drive and determination can get you when talent is lagging behind.
