There have been many great British fighters over the years such as Lewis and calzaghe, and many Hof skilled fighters such as Hamed. While this is the case it bothers me how hyped some terrible fighters out of Britain have been. We saw khan get blitzed by a bum, froch outboxed twice on a row once to a green fighter with no prior championship experience, and once to a shot fighter. Now we witnessed the prompt destruction of yet another Brit who was being hyped as the next best thing out of Britain. There have been many great British fighters, and there will be more, but please quit hyping unproven fighters with no world class experience at alll.
I was there, Katsidis controlled everything, Kevin got a few punches to every 4 Katsidis threw and even in round 1 and 2 he was rocked a bit, i spoke to Kevin's chauffer aswell he even said that if he kept to a game plan and fought like he did Presscott he might have had a chance but, to be honest in my opinion he was over hyped, he is a nice guy and all and even came over to us by the tunnel after and was saying sorry and all when he didn't need to but he was pretty over hyped, Katsidis is a beast and all due props to him, he got boooed out the building and it still didn't affect him in fact it was the other way round.
This is stupid how do fighters get any buzz if people don't talk about them? Nobody gassed like he was gonna be a p4p king he was simple touted as a good solid fighter he lost to Katsidis, not a great fighter but a solid one and all of a sudden he is a bum?
You need to come off your high horse because I'm pretty sure a load of people on here touted the likes of Ortiz as the next big thing but the manner of his loss to Maidana was many times worse.
Good post.
It seems any decent fighter who loses these days, are considered a bum :sad:
Maybe we should warn the yanks to stop having school massacres and being crystal meth addicts.
We dont judge your country on what a few of the population do, try treating us the same.
True story, Red brother. Always nice to see a smart Briton in this.
If he is from North London or from any part of England apart from south west he is not a Briton.
A Briton has celtic heritage, just to let you know.

I' there are still some Brits on here that hype up Amir Khan to no end.
Like who?
Khan has great speed and is a very decent boxer. I am not his biggest fan but I will give him credit and say he is a very talented boxer.

For some reason I thought you were better than posting up something like this.
Which users were saying Mitchell was the best thing since sliced bread?
I don't think anybody needs to kick dirt on Mitchell. I've heard people saying that Katsidis is mediocre too, and that's just garbage. That one poster that thinks that Peterson and Soto could beat him has a right to his opinion. But they definitely have not fought better fighters than Kats has. And Soto has looked like absolute shit here lately. Against bums nontheless.
And I agree with one poster on here who called out Bully by saying Calzaghe deserved the hype from the Brits that he got. He never fought one skilled fighter in their prime except for Robin Reid and got a debatable decision there. That warrants praise? If Warren protected Mitchell like he did with Calzaghe I'm sure that Mitchell could come up with Calzaghe's record. Look at Erdei and Chavez Jr.
A) The obligatory cry of 'I'm being satirical!' doesn't change the fact that you came in here to talk about anything except boxing
B) You still only post in NSB, or any of the subforums, to talk about anything except boxing
C) My mum >>> your mum at everything except giving head, riding dick and generally being a bit of a strumpet
D) I'm sure you're a lovely lad really, peace
I came in here to pwn that twat who has now gone. No one asked you for your opinion, it's obviously a bait thread which is going to contain little or no boxing discussion, so why don't you piss off and troll someone else.
BTW I like how you changed the first line, it really made all the difference to the weight of the insult, well done.
I'm not gonna come out and say Mitchell sucks because there are still some Brits on here that hype up Amir Khan to no end. Mitchell at least had a win over Prescott on his resume which isn't saying much but still. I think it's possible that Kats is a very improved fighter these days. I'd never seen Mitchell fight before, but I heard good things about him and I saw highlights of his knockouts on the Brits' sigs and thought to myself he's one of these prospects with an action style. And he probably still can be even if he loses more fights.
That's illegal where I am from.
I remember they had this one movie where this horse had sex with a man though.
It won an award at Sundance too, but all the same still really twisted.
:lol1:
I am glad I was able to improve this thread...
Those yuro bumz all breed with they're dogz.
Exactly.
That's why the majority of British posters here -- such as Jambo boy, bless him -- are generally regarded by anyone with a clue as a bunch of dumbasses who know nothing about boxing, because they'll descend a thread into petty point-scoring over anything to avoid discussing the actual sport of boxing whenever they can.
A) I was being satirical about dogs
B) I didn't descend the thread, it was shit from the first post
C) Your mum
Your a dummy , the American Pit is the original Old English Bulldog just refined for dog fighting over 100s of years it first appear in the US with Irish immigrants 2 famous dogs were Loyds Paddy and Loyds Pilot , the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the closet purebreed dog in blood to the Pitbull although the AM Staff is a show version of a Pitbull , the very first registered AM Staff was a pure Colby bred fighting PitBull , in the UK the Staffies from Cradley Heath were bred to the white terrier by James Hinks to produce an all white show dog ,,, I dont need wiki Ive imported and bred dogs for 40 years they are my life .
Your English Bull Terrier is an imitation fighting dog .
Your kidding me right ?? the English bred the fist bull dogs with terriers ...witch gave us the first bull and terriers/bull terriers breeds that was used for pit fighting ...weather you like it or not the England was where the bull terrier breeds were conceived !
Off of that fist bull and terrier breeds came all the bull terrier breeds like that of the EBT SBT APBT ASBT etc etc
You saying otherwise is a typical yank thinking ...a bit like we give you rugby and you make it american football ....:haha:
BTW i have been around bull terrier breeds a long time my self ...even my grand father bred them :crazy:
This is stupid it's like saying "lets not give prospects exposure, lets wait until they've beaten a world champion before caring"
And Froch isn't hyped at all, not one really knows who he is and he gets limited exposure on Primetime tv.
