British Boxing is A Joke...

[Smashing]

lol....Bwahahaha..funny as hell

Never happens he the U.s

Tonight's card showed precisely why boxing in the UK is a joke. The top 3 fighters on the card each fought hand picked opponents that had no chance to win.

Maccarinelli fought a total bum and destroyed him in one round.

Amir Khan fought a guy who didn't even come to fight. He was a paid punching bag.

Calzaghe fought a guy who should be fighting at 154, has no credible wins at 168, and was a 33-1 underdog. He didn't deserve to be in the same ring as Calzaghe. And to top things off, a terrible stoppage to finish the night.

This card showed exactly why no one ever takes any British fighter seriously...

And some U.S fights aint a joke!! Come on lets not be silly now..If there is a place with most bent fights its gotta be the U.S..Thats not saying that the U.S HAS SOME GREAT FIGHTERS

but to be honest there was no chance Manfredo could do anything that would trouble Joe in the slightest imo

Well, everyone knew the moment this fight was signed that Manfredo was going to be dominated. So you're saying they shouldn't have even bother to put on this bull**** fight, right? Manfredo had no chance, which seems to be what people commonly say about 99% of Calzaghe's opponents...

British boxing sucks, nobody goes to britain. Thats why even calzone wants to come to america to get respect in the world.

Hang on... so you criticise Calzaghe for not wanting to fight in the US and now you're criticising him for wanting to fight in the US? And you're trying to tell me that this is your genuine opinion and not sorry trolling?

i don't think anyone can say that (british bosing sucks) it's unfortunate that when a fighter gets in the ring risks his life and then gets a **** decision, it's almost like it's part of the sport, happend all over not just in Britan, it's all about money....and who's making it.
