Ron Burgundy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 As a pro fighter Limpy McTapper is done. He will float around doing circus freakshows to earn more money. This is a guy who couldn't knock a pensioner off a bar stool even with a sneaky blindsider. Horrible guy and he attracts the sort of fans you'd expect.

vegas-voss Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 You got to laugh at Conor he said inactivity caused the loss but then instead of wanting some fights to go on a title run he now wants a rematch for the title.How is that getting you Octogon time all he wants is the biggest payday win or lose now it's not about legacy it's pure dollars.The guy 1-2 as a lightweight but wants the title fight or of course another fight with Nate ( who every top 5 guy would beat easily enough but Conor will struggle in another war ).He should be made to fight Hooker or Felder imo and if he wins take it from there.

CJGJ Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thug rule ? and Tyson Fury shock, horror amongst it all Panorama: BBC team threatened following Boxing and the Mob programme - BBC News A BBC Panorama team has been threatened following a programme about a suspected crime boss's influence in world boxing. Police in Northern Ireland have warned about an unspecified threat from unnamed criminal elements in relation to the programme, broadcast on Monday. It investigated the role played in the sport by Daniel Kinahan - named in the Irish courts as the head of one of Europe's most prominent drug cartels. The programme led to calls for tighter regulation of the sport. Although some in boxing have defended Mr Kinahan's involvement. Jo Carr, the BBC's head of current affairs, said: "The BBC places the utmost priority on the safety of our teams, whose journalism plays a vital role in a free society. It is despicable and intolerable if thugs think they can muzzle a free press through intimidation. "We will continue to throw light into even the murkiest of corners." The courts in Ireland have accepted that an organised crime group linked to Mr Kinahan is involved in drug trafficking and execution-style murders. The group is also suspected of involvement in a feud with a rival Dublin gang that has resulted in 18 people being murdered. Mr Kinahan's lawyer told the programme he has no criminal record or convictions and the allegations about him being a crime boss are false and have no evidential basis. The lawyer said: "In so far as our client's record in boxing is concerned, he is proud of his record in boxing to date." Mr Kinahan's involvement in boxing caused an outcry last summer when world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury publicly thanked him for setting up a much anticipated title fight with fellow British champion Anthony Joshua. The criticism died down after it was announced that Mr Kinahan would no longer negotiate Mr Fury's fights and he was stepping away from boxing. But Panorama's Boxing and the Mob programme discovered the suspected crime boss was still advising top fighters in world boxing. Mr Fury did not respond to questions about whether Mr Kinahan was still acting as his personal adviser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 7 hours ago, Lord BJ said: McGregor v Porrier rematch is coming in summer according to Dana. McGregor needs to deal with leg kicks and not quit due to fatigue. I think he can deal with former far from convinced about later. Need to get his MMA back. Leave the boxing stance in the bin. The fatigue thing is myth. He went up to welterweight on short notice and his body couldn't handle it. The boxing ring is for the superfit and MMA fighters are not in the same league as boxers for fitness. (Big heavyweights do not apply) Anyway, I look forward to the fans being there for the decider.

Tazio Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If Josh Warrington goes on and wins this it’s a disgrace. No way should the ref have kept this going and not stopped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Disgraceful. Warrington gets absolutely melted later in the fight with another big punch. And then after Warrington is down it was the young Mexican lad that ran over and called the medics into the ring as the ref did nothing. Would never have happened if the ref had stopped it in the 4th when he could barely walk back to the corner as he was so shaken by the knockdown in that round.

Ribble Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Have a feeling that Warrington won’t be the last to fall foul of Lara’s power, very impressive for a 22yr old.

ri Alban Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Lord BJ said: It was bizzare, I thought he was winning the fight as well. Stirling was clearly down and Yan throws him a big knee. Strange fight and first time championship changed hands like that. Numes does what she wants. I’ll be honest I’m not a huge fan of women fighting but it’s hard to ignore her skills and superiority. Izzy got beat by UD. Izzy was better in the standup but had no answer to the takedowns. I think it was mistake that he didn’t put mass/ muscle on fit fight. They looked pretty difference in size when they fought. Jan v Glover for title would never seem that happening pre Covid. Jon Jones has been trolling the **** out of Izzy. Izzy going nowhere near Jon Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Looks like UFC will potentially have to address the issue of extreme weight cutting at last. Female fighter collapsed twice at a weigh in with some reports saying she may have had a seizure on one of the occasions. Obviously it goes on but I was shocked at the extremes when the BBC showed a documentary following a fighter in the build up to a fight.

AlimOzturk Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Why can’t fighters just fight at their weight class? If both fighters are dehydrated to make themselves lighter then i fail to see how there is any advantage. Then if only one fighter is doing it they are basically fighting someone who is at a severe handicap. Where is the honour in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pummel their opponent. Khabib is Xlbs and used to diet down to 155, then go back up to about 180 over night. Conor was the same at 145. Its cheating. The old IV drip was the norm back in the day.
