First post and I fully expect to get slaughtered.
First off - I know nothing about boxing and really have only started to appreciate it over the last few years. I've been reading these forums for about a year now but haven't posted as I have nothing constructive to add but like reading everyone elses opinion. Besides, everyone knows a lot more than me! First fight I ever really watched properly was Mayweather Jr vs Hatton in what I think was 2008?
Anyway. One thing I've noticed about this forum is the race divide. Is Racism really that much of an issue in boxing? seems to be almost tribal on these boards yet I never got that feeling when watching the matches on TV
Yeah but he was talking trash about Whyte before the fight and got chased out of the dressing room as he tried to come in. Chisora can be a little soft sometimes, Whyte is not a punk in any situation.
They've had serious beef ever since Whyte stepped into Finchley some years ago before he was even pro.
I'm sure Hearn wants them to get into it, but I doubt he'd want them to roll around on the floor etc. That stuff can cancel a fight and end in suspensions.
Oh yeah, of course I'm watching the fights. There are a few good ones on there. Yafai vs Concepcion is a great fight, Burton vs Buglioni is another really good fight. Chisora vs Whyte obviously, I'm always watching Joshua of course.
On top of that we've got Callum Smith, Scott Quigg and Katie Taylor who I'm quite excited about.
There's also a guy called marcus morrison that I'm really excited about.
So yeah, solid card with a few good fights and some interesting stuff. no barn burners, but a good night of boxing.
But I'm streaming as I always am.
Just noticed you're in KL. I was living in Desa Park City for a while a few months ago. Awesome city.
Yeah, quite interesting really now that you mentioned it.
It's easy to criticize on the outside and see openings but it's totally different when you're in there fighting against someone.
Maybe we underestimated Joshua's skills and we just view him as a big guy who looks predictable and hits hard.
Got a source of the interview when Molina compared the two?
You can find it on the SkySports Boxing page. I'm a newbie so I can't post links :)
