AlimOzturk Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Finally got round to watching Yarde v Kovalev and it was a great fight. Thought Yarde despite his relative inexperience and lack of decent opponents was brilliant. Went to his back yard and almost got Kovalev out of there. Ultimately gassed out but conducted himself brilliantly. That's what boxing is all about 👍👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my boxing son. He was ranked #4 with the WBA or WBC but you could argue they inflated his rankings to make it more interesting. I suppose every boxer is a nobody until the beat a somebody. Fury had that tagline until he got his chance V Wlad. Ruiz shocked the boxing world against Joshua now he is a household name. Not saying that Wallin should have inflicted that damage on Fury but he was a hell of alot better than many give him credit for and fought the fight of his life. Fury had a bad night it happens but at least he didn't lose and actually showed tremendous courage to fight on with an eye like that. Having watched it again that fight should have been stopped. The cuts remind of the time Vitali Klitschko got cut fighting again Lewis and that was stopped even though Vitali was winning the fight Imo.

Benn is 55 years old and last fought 23 years ago getting beat twice by Steve Collins. Bika ON the other hand is only 40 years old and last fought 4 years ago.

AW1 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Bika would've been an ideal opponent for Benn in the mid 90s, doesn't have much movement, seems happy to take plenty of shots etc...... However its now 2019 ffs Benn should stay in retirement I can see this ending badly. Bika once gave Calzaghe a rough old night because of his dirty tactics. I'm going for a Bika stoppage. Crying shame Nigel Benn is risking his health fighting again he was one of my boxing hero's growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 GGG got the result early this morning but he would have been sweating on that result. The knock down in the first salvaged it for him Think age is catching up with him. He wasnt nearly as relentless and slowed down as the fight progressed. His pressure fighting tactics arent as effective as they once where. Was impressed with Sergiy though. He will most likely win a world title at some point and i can see why Canelo wants nothing more to do the middleweight division. Some amount of talent there with him GGG, BJS, Andrande and Eubank Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Josh Taylor fight info...https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/50130000 26: O2 Arena, London - Regis Prograis v Josh Taylor (The World Boxing Super Series final - WBA Super & IBF world light welterweight titles); Derek Chisora v David Price (heavyweight); Lee Selby v Ricky Burns (lightweight); Lawrence Okolie v Yves Ngabu (European cruiserweight title); Conor Benn v Laszlo Toth (welterweight) Regis Prograis says he saw one life disappear and a new one begin when Hurricane Katrina decimated his New Orleans home in 2005. The American - the WBA world super-lightweight champion - was 16 when his country's deadliest hurricane in 77 years killed an estimated 1,836 people. As Prograis gets ready to face Scotland's world IBF super-lightweight champion Josh Taylor on Saturday, the 30-year-old says he looks back on a "painful" time that forced him to relocate and ultimately shaped his boxing journey. "Your whole life is gone, everything you ever knew," Prograis told 5 Live's Boxing podcast. "You knew it will never be the same again but for me, now, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me." Prograis, who now has 24 wins from 24, moved to Houston following the destruction caused by Katrina's 175mph winds. The ferocity impacted on regions stretching from the Bahamas to parts of eastern Canada. An estimated $125bn (£96bn) of damage was caused by a category five hurricane that Prograis says made his belongings simply "vanish". "Looking back at it and going back to it, it was real hard and painful," Prograis told 5 Live before his unification bout at London's O2 Arena. "We went back, my mum was crying, my grandmother, her whole house was gone. It was a horrible experience. "It's hard to look at it like that now as it did this to me. Boxing has taken me everywhere. But if you ask my dad, my mum and my grandmother, their perspective would be different as it was raw." Prograis could hold two of the world super-lightweight titles if he overcomes Scotland's unbeaten Taylor. Such honours seemed a world away when he walked into Houston's Savannah Boxing Club after his move. Former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield was among a number of glittering names based at the gym. Ex-world light-middleweight champion Raul Marquez, two-weight world champion Jesus Chavez and America twins Jermell and Jermall Charlo - who have both held world honours in recent years - were also among the decorated names working out there. "Holyfield was at the end of his career, Raul Marquez, the Charlo twins, a lot of real good pros were there," recalls Prograis. "I was still an amateur. Being around that did something to my mind. Holyfield was hitting the bag next to me and I was thinking if he can do it I can do it. You watch every little piece of them and what they do that makes them a champion." Despite believing his move away from New Orleans proved definitive in his boxing ascent, Prograis has the name of the city he holds so dear tattooed across his chest. He takes pride in educating himself through reading and spoke to 5 Live hours after visiting the Churchill War Rooms in London. Winston Churchill's famous quote "if you are going through hell, keep going," strikes a particular chord. Prograis said: "I never thought I'd have a dream job like this. Where I come from, we don't go to London and I've been all over the world. "Sometimes I wake up in my bed and think how did I even get here? It comes from these two fists." Taylor, undefeated in 15 fights, will face those fists but is a much-hyped talent himself. Their meeting is, on paper, one of two slick, classy southpaws, where two world titles are just part of the prize, given the contests doubles as the World Boxing Super Series final. "Taylor will be a challenge, he could potentially be a threat," said Prograis. "I have seen his style before. I have been in with big, tall dudes who punch. He is still a real good fighter and that's what makes it so intriguing." Edited October 21, 2019 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
