Thread: World wide boxing news

Was hoping George would do better, but totally outclassed.
Disappointed by George mouthing off before the blue,Haney was too elusive and with a good jab and fast feet.
Haney is a class act.

Just watching the extended highlights, it was a mismatch. There's 10 levels of boxing, Haney is on level 9 and Kambosos on 7.

I've enjoyed watching Tim Tszyu work his way up to a title fight over the last few years but that'll be an even worse result, Charlo is also on level 9 and Tszyu's on 5.5.

If you watched the whole thing you'd probably say 9.5 and 6.

It was a no contest and I hope there will be no rematch. A fucking waste of time.

Take a look at the top 5 in the weights from 135-147. The best boxers in the world right now pound for pound. Each will go out and put on one hell of a fight.

Lomachenko expressed an interest in facing the winner. I think he's in Ukraine so I'm not sure if he might be busy.

Artur Beterbiev and Joe Smith Jr tonight. Undercard currently underway. Here is a link for anyone who wants to watch....

^Watched it while having brekkie in a sports bar, a total mis-match. Where was the yank at the announcement and raising of the hand? There was no volume to hear what was said. Poor loser?

It was, Beterbiev is a real beast.

Sitting on his stool, I think. He got hit pretty hard, but after he was on his feet and he did congratulate Beterbiev.

Then was taken to a hospital for observation.

Can't say I'm surprised.

"Anthony Joshua's heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk has been confirmed at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia on August 20."

Tyson Fury has vacated his Ring heavyweight title after he announced his retirement from boxing on Friday, Fury told The Ring Magazine.


Fury, 34, tempted a comeback on Tuesday, saying he'd return from retirement to fight Derek Chisora. However, three days later, Fury announced in a social media post that he had decided to "walk away" from boxing.


Tyson Fury reaffirms retirement by relinquishing Ring heavyweight belt

Joshua has won this on.points without breaking a sweat.

Fury would destroy him though..

Slava Ukraine

Usyk dominated the entire fight. It was totally one-sided.

By a split decision.
Tbf both fighters were good but not in Tyson Furys league.
I may watch the Fury v Wilder fight again for some entertainment.
Nice to see both boxers holding you Ukrainian flag up at the end.

Total robbery there. Even your biased sky sports announcers said that judge was way off in outer space. Then Joshua had a post fight meltdown. How embarrassing.

Not my Sky Sports, or Sly Sports as we nickname them.

Joshua has always been overrated and constantly declined Furys fight offers because he knows the outcome and end of his financial career.

Good morale boost for Ukraine tonight.

How embarrassing was that speech?
I had some great nights/mornings in the Sportsman soi 13 watching AJ knock out bum after bum for fun in under 3 rounds.
At one point I rated him just above Wilder and head and shoulders above Fury. How daft does that seem now?
After the boxing lesson AJ got by Usyk(a fukkin middleweight) in the last fight and the prior shambles of him getting outboxed by some small fat Mexican Pizza delivery guy I sensed some easy money was available tonight.
8/15 was all the bookies offered for Usyk at the start, it went as low as 1/6... then in round 10 after AJ had punched the guy in the bollix and started his Frank Bruno-ezque way of regrouping when his opponent is ripe for the taking...I lumped on at 6-5

Those judges though...
HTF was that a split decision?

Come back Fury...or Deontay...

AJ... you fukkin fraud

That was total cringe. First storming out of the ring and then coming back and snatching the mic from the announcer. It was Usyk's moment, not his and nobody anted to listen to his little whinge about being raised up on the street and blah, blah, blah. Total lack of class.

How did you come to that conclusion?

I did the Chitty curse

Not exactly an exciting fight but Usyk easily did enough to win, fuck knows how one judge didn't see it that way but it wouldn't be boxing without something controversial or debatable happening when fights go the distance. Fury would/could beat the pair of them, no question about that.
