Prograis got taken to school by Haney on Saturday.

I was surprised by that, Prograis is a really good fighter. Impressive win for Haney.

No idea how the judge saw that even. Taylor with the deserved win

Taylor by two rounds for me. Tough fight but no doubt in my mind that she won.

The Taylor Cameron fight delivered. Surely Taylor by two or three but Cameron was relentless.

Someone was asking me about what my dream fights would, as in fighters who never fought be it because they were from different eras or just avoided the other or what not. The two stipulation being that it is both fighters at their peak at the same weight and that both have had the same training and dietary regimes.





Came up with

Hagler vs Monzon at middleweight (Hagler wins an absolute war on points for me)


Roy Jones Jnr vs Andre Ward at Super middleweight (Ward wins seven times out of ten for me. Possibly a divisive opinion)



Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali ( Heresy for some with this maybe, but Lewis for me and by KO)


Mike Tyson vs Muhammad Ali (Ali by late stoppage)


Sugar Ray Leonard vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. at welterweight (Ray Leonard on points)


Bernard Hopkins vs Sugar Ray Robinson at middleweight. (Hopkins on points)




It is not meant to be a who is the best of all times thing, more a styles makes fights as in some pairings maybe the guy that won is the guy that you think would be better on a night but maybe the other guy who lost is more of an all time great for you.


Just curious if anyone else has dream fights and who they think would win in their match ups.

Callum Walsh from Cork with another decent win midweek.


9th pro win in a row for the lad and his first time headlining a bill at a famous venue (MSG).


Not a fan of some of the company he keeps but he was an exceptional amatuer boxer here in Cork and if he can translate some of that to the pro ranks he will have a very good career.

Going to be one that gets very heavily promoted from here on in, and will be pushed very hard regardless of whether his talent eventually reaches the level of the hype of not.

But he can box and he can brawl, and if he smooths some of the edges and keeps the hunger then he will be in the ring fighting for a full world title within 18 months.


One thing I love about him the unshakable self confidence he has in everything he does. Might be a bit off putting for some, but that sort of self belief and determination is the bedrock for anyone that succeeds in their given field or that wants a better than average change of being a success.

Just want to get it out in public that this is me formally issuing a challenge to fight the winner of Usyk vs Fury.


I'm 50 and keel over every now and then, but I am starting to fancy my chances of being the undisputed champ in this era of heavyweights.


You want some too, Ngannou? I'll spark you before you even have time to gas.

[fidget]

Fury **** the bed. Didn't train hard enough (if at all), realised he couldn't roughhouse the dominant Ngannou in the clinch (lol getting framed and landed on) and was scared of the power of the counters so wouldn't commit.
The attempted superman punch by Ngannou at the end was the icing on the cake.
lol Fury you ****ing tramp dosser needing bent refs to save the Usyk supermatch against a novice.
