Boxing please

Seems like Fury and McDermott may have to have a re-match, the Boxing board of control as ordered them to fight again sometime in the next 90 days.
 
Quite right. I like Tyson Fury, but:

a) he didn't win that fight
b) he came across a whopping cunt before, during, and after the fight

He fought on the Bernard Dunne undercard on Saturday in Dublin against some nobody and looked very average at best.He won easily and apparently didnt have the use of his right hand but seems to have a long way to go.I think hell beat mcdermott fair and square next time round tho.Hes only 21 too so give him a bit of time maybe
 
Yeah i wasn't that impressed by Fury at all on Saturday.

But at least he was better than poor old Bernard "can't punch, can't take a punch" Dunne. How he managed to win a title when he's got no chin and no power is beyond me.

Yeah thats it for Bernardo now id say...Was he ever any good or just lucky..This Thai boy could be something serious tho
 
I think the thai fighter could turn out to be a good fighter. He's ranked the 3rd Jr. Featherweight by Ring magazine, behind 2 good fighters in Juan Manuel Lopez and Celestino Caballero.

Didnt see the Dunne fight on Sat, saw his fight against Cordoba a few months back though, that was a good one.

Fight of the year many people think...6 knockdowns it was brilliant
 
I watched up until the first semi,when the Irish fella beat Baker.

Who made it into the final from the other semi?

Has the final happened yet? (I don't have sky sports)
 
Just watched the highlights on sky sports.

What a punch to knock out Barret in the final. I still don't rate Harrison though, not that I'm a seasoned boxing viewer.
 
Harrison telegraphs his punches and has a the slowest wind up I've ever seen. Once he starts to throw you could pop out for a pint, come back and the punch might just be landing.

Also he has a comical habit of sticking his chin out massively whenever he tries a "bomb".
 
I watched Prizefighter the other night, fair play to Audley for winning it but he was up against a bunch of novices and two of them gave him a hard time before he dispatched both with nice knockout punches.

He's got ability, but I can see why he'll never amount to much. And he's 37 already too.
 
Harrison is a shithouse. He doesnt like to fight - you can see it in his face that he gets scared when people start banging. He has good technical ability though, just not the heart.

I agree.

Even against the low level opponents in PF he looked like he panicked as soon as punches started to come his way.
 
Un-beaten Murray beat Thaxton in 4 on Saturday...think Thaxton will call it a day now.

He still claims he'll be world champion and blames Barry Hearne for it not already happening.

Tool.
 
This Tyson Fury person, is that his real name ?

Seems a bit too good to be true.

Will there be someone who pops up called Clint Stone to challenge him ?

I smashed my knee on a table jumpting up in excitement at this:

Saint George, thanks for that clip. I'd never seen it before.

That punch was like something from a schoolyard brawl, only thrown by a professional boxer.

I love seeing knockout punches in slow motion.
Anybody got any good ones they would like to share?

Yeah, come to the next drinkies.
 
Nathan Cleverly kept up his unbeaten record after beating Courtney Fry last night. The reckon a crack at the European title is next up for him.

saw an interview with him on the beeb, he seems to be a veyr level headed and committed young man (also studing for a degree in maths) - I hope he goes all the way.
 
2 of the 3 first round fights in the Boxing Super-Six take place this weekend. Froch vs Dirrell and Abraham vs Taylor.


Tyson Fury is also on the Froch undercard.
 
Haye vs Valuev as well. Should be interesting. I hope Haye backs up his talk/taunts, else his career will be in no-mans land. (Not good enough for heavyweight, already achieved everything at cruiserweight.. he may aswell retire if he loses badly)

Urgh.. you're probably right.. I just saw that promo vid on BBC and just presumed it was this weekend.
