Hardly surprising looking at Fury there. the news is no surprise!

****ing hell.

That's an impressive gut. He was never exactly trim, but that is epic levels of letting himself go. He should have gone for a bout with Prince Naseem.

Fatty boxing

Amazing boxer. A. Selby on the other hand is very frustrating to watch.

Looking Good is Eubank jr ....

Conor Benn looked very good dispatching a nobody. Imagine a Benn vs Eubank in future ringside could be fun!!!

Eubank jr is not going to drop below being a super middleweight in the coming years, if anything he will most likely end up at light heavyweight if he stays in the game long enough.


Benn is a welterweight who might grow into being a middleweight.


And even without the big size difference, there is a big age gap too so by the time Benn may be ready to take on bigger fighters of higher class, Eubank jr will most likely be retired.

We may disagree on the scoring of the fight, but enjoyed reading your post.

One thing I will add to what you said about how fights can be scored is that volume of punches thrown is often more of a stand out feature than how cleanly punches land. You touched on this in your post but a guy who throws a lot of punches round after round (and a lot of those punches in real time may look like they landed) is usually going to sway the judges more than the guy who throws far less punches but who is landing cleanly with a higher %.

Might seem a very obvious thing to say, but in a fight where both keep throwing to the final round, it can and normally is something that catches the eye and racks up points on scorecards.

Repeat viewings of a fight will allow one to pick up more clearly on what is a landed punch and what is not, on what is an effective punch and what is a slap and so on.


What will be interesting is if either man tries to change his approach in the rematch (assuming it happens). They now need no feeling out period to figure out what the other brings in terms of power and general movement, and they both have a more rounded idea of how effective their own power was or was not during the fight.

Golovkin I think will again bring his tried and tested style of boxing, but Canelo I think may change his style a little bit as he has form for doing so in the past. If I had to guess I think he might try to up his output whilst counter punching. He times fighters well and the 12 rounds with Golovkin will aid him to no end on that front.

I am also expecting some attempts at Canelo's side pushing for a catchweight fight and more messing about with regards to sanction fees.

Fight 1 was a good one, but the rematch could be very good and we are due a barn stormer at some point between two top guys so fingers crossed.

Likewise mate, your posts are always insightful. And I agree I would expect Canelo's punch output to increase next time.

will the George Groves fight be worth a watch? later or is it a mismatch?

[labourRed]

A mismatch but Eubank and him should be fun.

[Shaggy]

Haha Groves Cox was a ****ing great little scrap.

Can't wait for Groves Eubank. Tough one to call.
