Piss easy for Arthur. Even a ****ty, old Arthur.

[Zapater]

What happened? Take it big mouth Smith was sparked out.

Golovkin - Murray going to start soon.

[Chris]

Wasnt knocked out, just looked **** as usual, game but ****. And is about to lose a comfortable decision, or should be!

[Slinky Skills]

That second fight tonight was brutal, anyone see it?

Was a really good boxing match, both fighters respected each other and went the full 12 rounds, was really entertaining to watch.

[Zapater]

Murray is one tough *******. Fair play to him. Outclassed but he did well to hang in that long. Golovkin is a cut above. Curtis Stevens out of recent fights was probably the most difficult for him but this was a little bit harder. Especially when a lesser fighter with Golovkin's style is made to order for Stevens' hard hitting, defensive style but Murray had to think and concentrate throughout.

talk of mayweather ppv being £65!!!!

Anyone else think Hearn will try to move Degale's fight (originally scheduled April 25th) to May 2nd as part of the pay per view for the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight? I think it makes sense especially if his opponent is Dirrell.

talk of mayweather ppv being £65!!!!

The talk is that it mat be $100 in the States which equates to £65 here.

It'll be 19.99 here at most. People aren't going to pay 65/to watch a fight at half five in the morning.

I've often wanted to watch some boxing but I've never known anyone to explain what I'm seeing. It just looks like two guys jabbing most of the time.

I know it's not though..

Love the promo

The hype is going to be unreal for this fight. Cannot wait to see them face to face and also the access all areas documentaries in the build up to the fight.

Tbf, it can be sometimes.

Guess that depends on what defines a superfight for you.


In terms on money and hype yes it is one, but in terms of the bout itself not so much.

A true superfight for me is when two genuine world class talents meet with both at or close to their peak.

Shaggy hit the nail on the head for me with his comment about how such a fight should be impossible to call or at the very least be difficult top do so.


Mayweather jnr vs Pac is not such a fight. If both turn up and are in the best form that their bodies and minds can produce at this stage of their careers then Mayweather jnr wins nine times out of ten for me.

It may still turn out to be a very good bout, and both boxers are still top level performers, but is a step below being a true superfight for me. Would rate it to being closer to a Hagler- Leonard ( which is a tad ironic given the tagline for that clash ) level clash than a Hagler - Hearns or a Hagler - Duran.


Right now I think there is only one potential superfight out there is one judges it only on the boxers, their ability, how close to world class they are, and how close to their peaks they are.


Golovkin vs Ward would be that fight for me even if it was at a catch weight..

Why do you not consider Hagler v Leonard a true superfight???

I guess the commentators aren't doing their job then
