Boxing

Behave son, I've been looking at still pictures and hastily written write-ups of elite level boxing matches for 45 years now, I think we know who the expert is here.

Quite right sir. Your oneupmanship in boxing knowledge will never be surpassed by mere mortals like myself, who just listen to what their mates have to say, then polish it like it’s my own opinion

He must have the most unfittest looking physique for someone who's considered to be a professional sportsman.

A few darts players might think otherwise

Having sat and watched again and again without the noise and distraction of a live fight night things are a lot clearer....

Michael Buffer's voice isn't actually good anymore and drums aren't entertaining.

Distraction? It was like a library.

The better fighter won, I reckon 115 to 113 to Usyk. Usyk winning 7 rounds, Fury 5.

The first fight was a lot more entertaining, but I think Fury was the one who had to go out and assert any dominance last night and he simply didn't do it (despite what he is claiming).

Think there is a lot of delusion and pandering to Fury by the British Media and Frank Warren was an embarrasment.

I watched it… and enjoyed it … what I didn’t realise though was an astonishing fact… calzaghe landed 1006 punches in the fight …. That’s incredible by any standards

You sure about that number, mate?!?

That averages to about 80-85 punched landed per round. That must be some kind of record?
Dragon Ball Z, Super Saiyan Level 5 stuff!

I know it sounds unbelievable but that’s what the score cards showed

Round 1 showed the massive size difference between the two so I was surprised that Fury didn’t use that to lean on Usyk right from the off rather than box him.
Having said that, it was a brilliant bout and the right boxer won.

Usyk must be considered as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time now IMO but at 37 how much longer can he fight for?

‘I won that fight’: Tyson Fury rejects defeat as judges’ ‘Christmas gift’ to Oleksandr Usyk

Despite a unanimous decision against him by all three judges, Fury refused to accept the Ukrainian fighter has now beaten him in back-to-back title bouts

warren had fury up by four apparently. Usyk - "Uncle Frank, I think he is blind."

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Had me photo taken with him on the door of Yates when he worked there. Never been so star struck in my life, the fella was made up to talk to anyone, not often I asked for photos with people I think this was pre iPhone being popular so the picture was defo Potato quality.

Doesn't count if he's lashing you out the bar by the scruff of the neck because you're intoxicated!
