Boxing

Taxman must be after Hatton.

Things like this are not even boxing. Just sparring sessions to get mugs to part with their money whilst up and coming boxers receive nowhere near as much for competitive fights and nowhere near the exposure

Ricky Hatton set to take on a large Mexican and once he finishes his tea fight Marco Antonio Barrera.

Guess utter scum are drawn to each other.

I hear that Teo Lopez may be teaming up with Eddie Reynoso. Getting away from his old man will be the best thing he can do for his career.

Read the first line and was fully expecting the second line to be that they were teaming up to take you and I on Zap.

You're in with Lopez

That's the first time I've ever called anyone out (if you exclude winding people up and being punched in pubs) and it felt pretty good. Jaco - set up a press conference, I've got some more names on my list.

Good man.

Now you can call out who you like, but will need to to ramble on about dragons or fairies or something at some point for the pre fight VT.


Need you to make a few threats towards Shaggy as well. The dog poop in the letter box one is gone as another of his rival's used that one in the past


This could be a huge event, I reckon I might be able to get purse bid of at least 50 quid for this if you guys work hard enough at trash talking. I mean you could hardly be any worse that that Khan/Brook live chat last night.

I meant Williams but yeah, Eubank seems to think he's elite and even I can tell he's nowhere near.

My gran can tell that Eubank jr is nowhere near and she is passed more than 20 years.

He was lucky that Wiliams has the sort of power that a freshly laid egg would scoff at, otherwise there would have been knock downs the other way.

I just cannot get my head around how poor a boxer Eubank jr is though and how robotic he is and his inability to change anything on the fly.

Williams we all knew was nothing more than a very average but determined British title level boxer at best, but Eubank jr is very much at that level too.

I looked at The Ring ratings this morning (not sure if they have been updated after last night's mega fight) and Jr is rated the 7th best middleweight in the world and they have Williams as the 10th best. They really need to make that list a top four, maybe five if I am feeling generous towards Murata, because the middleweights are starting to look like becoming a high end talent free zone like the heavies.


It's getting to the point that I am thinking of becoming a promoter and roping a few of you lot in here into being in my stable. None of you could be as bad as some of those in the top ten rankings, well maybe Buzzo , and I could at least get a few of you to pick up a few minor belts.


Zap you will be my cash cow, but Shaggy and Spud I am going to make a load of money off of you, I mean I will help you guys reach your potential for the love of the sport

[Doc_Piptorious]

Also does anyone think that Eubank jr copied the look of Roy Jones Jr last night with the shaven head and the way his beard/stubble was done?

Between the commentators none stop trying to push the comparison between him and Jone jr in terms of in ring stuff and that beard trim, it felt like a very deliberate attempt to further hype that charisma vacuum up.

[Shaggy]

Think you might need to be a bit more clear on who you mean because jyst saying "He is ****" does not rule out any of the three men that were in the ring last night

[Doc_Piptorious]

Made me laugh. Laughing at Williams getting floored by jabs and laughing at Jr thinking he's ****ing Ali. Spent most of the fight dancing and running. I did enjoy him laughing at and taunting Williams, mind. He is ****.

Didn't watch, however, Thurman is back with a win.

I actually think Daniel Jacobs vs Ryder could be a decent scrap. Jacobs hasn't fought for a million years, so doubt he'll still be as good as before, so could be entertaining.



That bad? Hope you're not including me in that.



Mixed weight, huh? I'm probably a pint sized super middle these days. Recall Buzzo saying that he is a big lad, I'm leaving him to you. Shaggy, you're getting the lead hook, followed by the right hand - there's my strategy upfront... and there's nothing you can do about it.

6'1 and 14 stone me, guess that makes me a cruiser. Can't fight to save my life though

[Shaggy]

lol (at the fight in general not you jaco)

*Puts on Mickey Goldmill voice*


No fancy tactics needed against those bums. Just go with the "they're getting knocked the **** out" tactic and we can critique the technique afterwards.


Then if we can get Spud Gun to find a partner, he and his partner can go knock out two other bums and set up a big title bout against us.

You have monumentally misread the room here.

They are serious. As. ****. About boxing in here.

Pretty much everything I’ve ever posted about in here goes without response due to my lack of knowledge.

That bad? Hope you're not including me in that.

Actually you have given me a great idea how to save boxing, Buzzo.


Tag team boxing



Zap, you're with me fella. We can get the use of a ring in Birmingham, Manchester or Glasgow easily enough. Buzzo and Shaggy can meet us there.
