Nah probably Carling for the ***** drinkers and Stella Artois for the proper drinkers.

Back on topic, this is generally how Frank builds his prospects, loads and loads of **** fights so that they're like 30 and 0 before they fight a world class opponent, so you think they've got a chance. It often ends the way Flanagan did this weekend in disappointment.

Eddie Hearn seems to match his fighters much tougher much sooner, not all of them mind it depends on the individual.

I personally like what seems to be a new way of if a fighter is good enough let them fight tough fights really early, like Lomo, Inoue, Bicol, Usyk etc.
Although in most of them examples they are quite old and have a good amateur pedigree.

It's just nice to see a world champ or multiple weight world champ in Lomos case with 12 fights. Its refreshing.

Try to have some class, mate. You're talking about a human being.

He's half fish

I think Warren has realized he has something in Gorman and now envisions him as more than just a stepping stone for Dubois. I actually agree with that part and I probably wouldn't make the fight in their next couple times out either. However, to make it sound like the fight is years off is ridiculous. This should be Frank's Joshua/Whyte, build both guys up to the top tier of British level and then have them go at it for the winner to advance to world level and build the loser back up to that point. Instead he's going to dance them around each other in hopes of having them meet for a world title shot at some point by fighting WBO Euro bums like Yarde

I've been singing Mark Heffron's praise's for years now & must say I'm pleased with the way he's got more disciplined & dedicated. "Yes Frank needs to push the BBBofC for a British title shot very soon"!

So no talk about this being a pretty huge upset? On par with Truax over DeGale. No talk about Flanagan talking greasy about how Hooker is "just another American"...?

See what happens, is that in America, like all countries do...we have different classes of fighters. So you get guys like Flanagan in whom a promoter will heavily invest, feeding him easy fights of foreign opponents coming over for a check.

So then guys like this start thinking they are the **** and that because someone is from a certain country they are just hyped up...then get their a$$ kicked in the ring.

You see, American fighters STAY smashing on UK fighters. Sure we will allow some of our D level fighters to come and get paid by getting in the ring with your B level fighters...but trust me when there is a belt on the line...well,you already know. USA runs boxing.

Of course they are not going to fight each other, but wasn’t frank telling Hearn to put Buatsi in with the other two stablemates from Hearn stable before he would be willing to make the Yarde fight? But he wouldn’t put his fighters in the same ring?

Look at you getting all excited about a win over Flanagan lmao.

He's been out of the ring 14 months, nobody knows who he is, nobody was bigging him up and he's not even the best fighter in his weight class in Britain!

How cute!

Think people stopped giving a **** about Flanagan a long time ago. Bit of a hollow victory really.

Was bad match making by warren been out 15months move him up a division throw him in with a big long rangey hard hitting hungry contender the writing was on the wall. i had hooker by 4 rounds warrens events just look cheap next to hearns. The only good thing about the whole show was the fight in the crowd and the good showing by gorman looks another decent uk heavyweight is emerging

Random question
What's the most popular beer in England?

Ooohh toughie.. depends on your social class. I drink peroni or San Miguel as I'm a lager guy.

Beer wise.. probably Greene king or john Smith's as that's what served in the majority of pubs on tap

I'd say the most drank in the country is either Stella or fosters
