Britains hopes destroyed

Well Nautilus Vitali won my boy Danny Williams and now i shall honour my side of the bet. It was fun rivalry while it lasted, maybe Audley will jump up the rankings to fight Vitali next. :eek: ............. Or maybe not :D Thats the end of British World Heavyweight Championship hopes for awhile now, it's kinda sad in away. We had Lennox for all those years and kinda got spoilt in many ways, i really hoped Danny could do it and was convinced that he would. I admired his bravery in the ring last night, it would have been easy to quit and get paid for it but he didn't and fought on. I hope some of you people who dislike Danny at least give him the respect he deserves as a fighter and the bravery he showed last night. Anyone can have opinions on things but to actually call a fellow fighter a bum who risks his life by entering the ring and been couragous would be rather insulting. It's something i try to avoid doing now because if i was in that position i would hate people thinking that of me. I'm happy Vitali won as i kinda like him in away which is scary :eek: Obviously not because he has a really exciting style but because he is really dedicated to the sport and takes the championship seriously. You can tell he is not just here for the money and that goes along way in my mind. I still think Vitali is beatable and i still think he will get exposed in the near future but i wish him all the best and a long successful reign as heavyweight champion. :cool: Wez...............

England hosted one of the top 4 heavyweights of all time. They don't need another worldbeater right now. Give the U.S. a chance to take Vitali out!

Well, that's very nice of you to be understanding. I agree with your opinion on Morales vs Pac totally. I think Morales will be able to box Pac much better than people think and lead him onto the right hand. Close fight, but Morales for my money ( and if the fight is close i`m sure HBO would have appointed kind judges, another draw? wouldn`t shock me ). OH hell, I hope not! After reading some of the things said about Erik's behavior after the last Barrera fight, I dont think I could stand to read the opinions of a gift decision!! Hopefully one or the other will get knocked out, and there will be little room for discussion of too tight socks (sorry, that one really was golden :D ) and thrown water bottles! :eek: But Morales is a totally different ballgame (so to speak) than JMM! ;)

Fact is Tsyzu has been KO`d and floored, so have many other fighters but Hatton has been unmoved by any fighter spare a flash knock down earlier on from a body shot ( it was balance, simular to Holyfield`s knockdown of Tyson in their first encounter ). Only weakness i see in Hatton is cuts. He showed a great chin against Tackie and Vince Philips and i realize that Tsyzu's power is another thing altogether but Hatton is able to box quite well, slip and he fires to the body and head with real power. Tsyzu could win by KO and then i`ll look the fool, i`d admit it. But my gut feeling is Hatton might be the real deal and in a tough close fight will come out on top over an aging very inactive of late Tsyzu... No, you wont look a fool regardless of how it goes...we all make our opinions known, and were all wrong some of the time..thats life. I dont think anybody will hold it against you. Myself, I've already said over and over that Pac WILL NOT be able to beat Morales...talk about looking foolish? Now that is a distinct possibility for me after that fight! :o I may be changing my opinion on Pac soon anyway...I'll be watching alot of his fights soon (from the past) and really get the chance to see what the man's got to offer (other than a great punch) and after that I may have to make a post...taking back alot of the things I've said in the past about him! :confused:

Eastman wil give Hopkins a hard time of it i feel but will lose on pts. Hatton has a serious chance of beating Tsyzu on home ground. Tsyzu is like allot of fighters who are coming off a good performance, they suddenly get this God like Status and are unbeatable. I heard Vince Philips disagrees, he claims that it is possible to KO Tsyzu. I know i know, how could that be possible as Tsyzu is the second coming but i claims this. Hatton is very very good and i`m not saying Hatton is gona come in and destory Tsyzu, i am just saying he will defeat him. I dont know..I dont think Hatton is ready for Tszyu, even in his own back yard! However, unless there are 3 extremely objective people judging that fight, Kostya had better knock him out..and thats just the way it is. Right, Eleviel?? :D

Danny was not disapointing nor was he suprising. He was as bad as I thought he'd be. I give him credit for his heart and his urge to fight but he really didn't deserve that shot and he showed the whole world. He was outclassed in every second of the fight. The only thing that he has done in his career was knocking out a very, very shot Tyson who hurt his knee. He took a beating from Sinan Samil Sam and even if he had a off-night the day he fought him he looked like useless shit. He is no Top 10 HW and he never will be. In fact I believe that Sinan Sam beats him 9 out of 10 times. As I said I give him credit for his heart but that's about it. The fight could've been stopped in the first round if it hadn't been a title fight in Vegas. Sorry Wez but that's my opinion.

I'm pretty excited about it. Eastman's not a big celebrity over here so it's not getting hyped too much. I think that could change after the fight though, not because I think he'll win but because he'll show people what a class act he is. yeah that coupled with the fact that they have lost for now the heavyweight dream.

oh yeah two cracking chins in there no one is gonna get ko'd.

How good does Britain feel about the Undisputed Middleweight title fight coming up with Howard Eastman? I'm overwhelmed Eastman has finally got a shot but i personally don't think he will win this fight. He hasn't shown me any signs that he could be a huge threat to Bernard. The only thing Eastman can count on is boxing a points decision and that will be tough against an A-class fighter like Bernard.

Me neither, it's very sad to watch. Hopefully losing to Larry Donald has persuaded him to think things through VERY deeply. Hopefully. It looks like the boxing commissions are trying step in to end it too by not giving him licences to fight.

Too amazing for his own good. I can't watch his interviews now with the way he's started slurring :( Me neither, it's very sad to watch. Hopefully losing to Larry Donald has persuaded him to think things through VERY deeply.
