Why does it look bad for Calzaghe? he doesnt stop the fights and yes they probably are stopped to early, Calzaghe put a referee in that position by just constantly throwing punches.
Very good at both weights. His only losses at 168 were against Collins when Chris was past his best. Then again, the fight with Benn for the MW championship is one of my favourite ever bouts. Electric from the word go!
He lost to Calzaghe aswell.
He did give Sergio some problems and was putting in a very good perfromance, based on that performance I agree with dan on him outboxing the top 10 middles.
No it's not I'm from Birmingham my accent is nothing like these plastic gangsters.
And lol @ the idiots who actually buy into these videos like a fake louis vuitton handbag and a keyring are some kind of conclusive proof.
The mods need to start deleting these threads its just lowering the tone of NSB even further.
What a joke video that is, it's an example of how to let everyone else in your home city down in 2 minutes so that deserves a clap I suppose. Well done pleb!
They definately need to start deleting these though, there's racist comments aswell.
Have never boxed although I have done alot of training, not specific to boxing but many related excersizes, worked on pads, bags, ropes, realy enjoy the training and mainly I like the discipline and camaradarie that come with intense workouts.
Boxing to me means hit and dont get hit.
Im 40 now and would actually like to have a fight just to experience it.
I have said it once and I will say it again. Haye is Vitali's only chance of earning a big 8 figure pay day before he retires and he knows it. Vitali has always made good purses for his fights, but nothing like what Wlad has made over his career (god knows why?).
That is why this fight will happen, plus they both have something to prove. Vitali desperately wants to knock Haye out to shut him up once and for all, and Haye wants redemption as I'm sure he was not too happy with his performance against Wlad.
Earl is right, just a bunch of haters on here who don't like Haye. When are you guys going to get it? He would dismantle those other guys. He brings interest, and money whether you like it or not. Lastly and I know this is very painful for some of you...he is a very good fighter.
I do agree but have to admit im a bit bored of Haye, he is a very good fighter its just a shame he didnt do any fighting against Wlad.
Yes Vitali is his only chance at a final big payday same for Vitali they both know it so hopefully they get it on, hopefully Haye doesnt bottle it again!
Was probably Frank Warren in an attempt to gain more hype for Cleverly.
Ward, Cleverly should never be mentioned in the sane sentance neither should Froch, Cleverly
Hopkin's, Cleverly and so on.
No.
But that didn't get him the shot, beating a domestic level fighter in John Murray did. The winner of that fight would go on to meet Burns in a ' battle of Britain ', Mitchell earns his shot by his nationality.
This is not to say he's completely undeserving, he's proven his worth.
Yeah, he's proven his worth at domestic level!
Not sure about all this Mitchell deserves this and that, other than John Murray who we know is European level he hasnt got any one of note on his record.
To me he hasnt even earnt this fight, Burns will show him whos's boss as he's the one who agreed to it, put him in his place then its back to the begining for Mitchell and Im not sure he's up for that.
No one has beaten Prescott more impressively than what Mitchell did. McCloskey, Alvarado and Vazquez being the only other people Prescott has lost too. He's a lot closer to world level then what Murray is, Mendoza is etc... Infact, the only person who's a better name on Mitchell's resume is Kats and that was a 3 rd demolition loss.
He's won of Mitchell's best wins.
IMO beating Prescott doesnt put him in line for a World title shot...just saying.
What a strange fight, does nothing for anyone and is anyone interested in it?
I thought after Mitchell that Burns would maybe start trying to beat the other world beaters and not step back to a domestic fight.
World level v Domestic level....Nice one Frank...infact Frank your days have passed now give up your fighters to other promotors and get shot of boxnation, boxing on Sky could be even better with some of your fighters being matched well and on good cards.
Dont get me wrong I was / am a Ricky fan provided great entertainment, havent read the tweets but just seems odd to be bringing that up now.
Things happen in boxing all the time sometimes works out sometimes doesnt in the main for Ricky it did.
Well he showed Khan no respect before the fight and now also after...he's clearly got a sense of humour maybe just not at the right time...
Love to see Morales rip the titles off him...be funny more than anything...
Who cares, why is Ricky banging on about Cortez 5yrs later!
I think he needs to move on, focus on whatever your doing now and not about something that you cant change and that happened so long ago!
Don't be so disparaging, it takes genuine guts to put it on the line and fight overseas. Also £1 = $1.59, so it's going to be enticing for Andre.
Maybe if Ricky's taking a soft headliner in a comeback they're lining up a big fight for Matt.
Is the Hitman definately making a comeback? I read it was true then it wasnt.
Are you in the know? Id be pleased if he did bit it can only be to help his promotions company cos he doesnt really have much else to prove?
Such typical responses.
If Khan had been fed an easy option he would be slated, if he takes on another live opponent he gets slated!
Alot of other boxers could take a leaf out Khans book and start fighting the best, its also great for fans to see continual good fights, I dont want to see Khan fight some bum wont mean anything for him or us.
If he does get beat so what at least he's put himself up against the best which IMO is the ONLY attitude to have. (None of this Nathan Cleverly crap)
Boxing fans must be the most fickle I know!
Angel Garcia talks a good game, and in the case of Khan they backed up the talk because they got the result. He keeps telling us that Danny is special, well I don't see it. He was on the end of a real ass whipping for the first 3 rounds of that fight, and "special" fighters don't get picked off like that.
The only special thing I see in Danny's game is his toughness, but there are other fast, good fighters around who don't have such a glaring weakness as khan. There are plenty of guys around who will beat the brakes off this kid. I would like to see his dad humbled in all honesty.
Tend to agree with that and in the first fight with Morales, who is nowhere near as quick was hitting Garcia with relative ease.
Me thinks Morales may be the man, if he is still clever and ring savvy enough.
Jesus Christ get over it.
Joe Cortez didn't make you put your hands down.
Joe Cortez didn't make you walk in a straight line directly towards Floyd, with zero defense.
It was your own dumb ass fault.
It'd be one thing if it went to decision, and he didn't let you "execute your gameplan".
But you got knocked out because you're a retard, same with Pacquiao.
This is coming from the guy who told SR. on 24/7 "Right hook, roll under" Same move everytime.... and that's exactly what Pacquiao did.
Must admit that was funny, to identify it then get sparked out by it yourself! lol
when you fight like khan you're likely to lose via stoppage
eight stoppage losses (and all the punches he took in victory,) will leave him eating through a straw by the time he's 50.
Dont think its that bad, He's had alot of tough fights for someone so young, he just needs to learn to defend better, attack is the best form of defence but not the only form of defence.
Khan will have 8 losses on his record before he retires
So what! If they are all against World Class Opponents there's no problem.
There is a problem when people wont fight each other in fear of a loss!
