PVAD 4,575 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 FROCH v GROVES PART II (Now it's Personal) Can't wait to watch this, for me this will be like Benn v Eubank all over again. I loved Eubank although he was loathed in general. I had a lot of time for FROCH even after the first match but of late he has been acting the cock, even for a Boxer!! Groves may just do him this time after the harsh stoppage last time around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RtiD 540 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) There's boxing on Channel 5 tonight, a lad from my town fighting for the vacant Irish light middleweight title against a guy from Galway. The weigh in for the first round of the MaxiNutrition light heavyweight tourney, which takes place tomorrow night at the Rivermead Centre, Reading and will be screened live on Channel 5, took place today at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The first two quarter finals will feature veteran former multi-weight British and European champion Dean Francis (12st 6lbs 6oz) contesting the British light heavyweight title against Nottingham’s former English champ Bob Ajisafe (12st 6lbs 7oz), and Dubliner Leon Senior(12st 6lbs 9oz) defending his Southern Area title against Southampton’s Tony Hill (12st 6lbs). Morden’s former British light welterweight champion Lightning Lenny Dawsfights Poland’s Arek Malek, while Galway’s Peter McDonagh contests the vacant Irish light middleweight title against Buncrana’s John Hutchinson. Reading’s up and coming talent Tamuka Mucha takes on seasoned Brummie Max Maxwell, and there’s outings for local lads Ricky O'Brienand Thomas Jarvis as well as Belfast’s James Fryers and Slough’s John Brennan. The action gets underway at 10.00pm on Channel 5. Edited March 15, 2014 by RtiD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyGiggs 5,154 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mayweather's May 3rd card looks like the biggest of the year now as Khan v Collazo was confirmed on the undercard today. Adrien Broner also fights on it. JJtheRed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twixy 1,572 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Pacquiao v Bradley II tonight. Thinking of booking the fight, as I think it could be a hugely entertaining bout. I'm finding it a hard one to call. I'm a fan of Manny and I'd like to see him win it. But I have a feeling it's Bradley who will be victorious. Bradley is a fighter on the up, full of confidence and he's looked impressive in his last couple of fights. I can see it going all the way. Predicting Bradley to win by split decision.

I'm going with Pac - last decision was absolute Bullshit He'll be hungry to set the record straight plus I can see Bradley losing a point, he's a dirty lil fucker Can't see it going the distance - Pac in the late rounds Edited April 12, 2014 by JJtheRed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyGiggs 5,154 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Pacquaio's best days are well behind him. He should have called it a day after the Marquez loss. Bradley is an interesting fighter, very technical and knows how to score points to win rounds. Pac's best chance is to use a speed advantage to pressurise Bradley out of his gameplan. Also a factor could be the negative psychological effects that Bradley said he had after the first fight. I'd probably go Bradley via decision. Pacquaio has not finished an opponent in years, he's going to really have to outwork Bradley for 12 rounds. Edited April 12, 2014 by SG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJtheRed 7,200 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I've changed my mind. Just watched 24/7 and Faceoff and Pac looks so timid! There's not confidence, no determination, nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JJtheRed 7,200 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Isn't he always like that? What time is the fight anyways/ Obviously he's never been a big talker... But it was more his eyes / body language... He just doesn't seem to want it I hope I'm wrong, because the last decision was a joke! Just can't see it They're saying 4.30 - think there's one more fight on now before it Edited April 13, 2014 by JJtheRed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twixy 1,572 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Convincing points victory for Pacquaio. Unanimous decision, no controversy this time. Happy for him to win back the title, as he should never have lost that first fight. Hef 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJtheRed 7,200 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Shawn Porter is a horrible fighter... Seems to be effective though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twixy 1,572 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Just been watching the All Access episodes for Mayweather vs Maidana. Will definitely be purchasing the fight next weekend. 2 other top Welterweight fights on the undercard as well, Broner vs Molina and Khan vs Collazo. Should be a great night of boxing.

Kez 1,633 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Klitschko is brutal when he gets a full force punch in, looks effortless too. Still champion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJtheRed 7,200 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Zzzzzz Just another talking punchbag... I actually think he's got too much for Fury but it would at least be worth watching He won't fight Wilder, too dangerous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyGiggs 5,154 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 HW division died a long time ago. I fear for the sport when Floyd and to a lesser extent Pac retire. I don't think Ward has the same pulling power. It will still be strong on a British level. Danny boy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Ward has the same pulling power. It will still be strong on a British level. Ward just needs to have one marquee fight to really push on I think, he's a phenomenal boxer but for management reasons hasn't really had a fight that is worthy of his rankings in the P4P list and really thrust him into the spotlight. Him against Golovkin would be absolutely mouthwatering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyGiggs 5,154 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Mayweather will get $32m for the fight this weekend, Maidana's cut is $1.5m Ward just needs to have one marquee fight to really push on I think, he's a phenomenal boxer but for management reasons hasn't really had a fight that is worthy of his rankings in the P4P list and really thrust him into the spotlight. Him against Golovkin would be absolutely mouthwatering. It's a fight I'd like to see but not sure how big a name Golovkin is. Floyd was helped by a complete destruction of a fighter like Gatti then well-promoted big name fights against DLH and Hatton that turned him into a global superstar. Ward hasn't really had that big performance despite completely outlcassing almost all of his opponents. Another issue is that he doesn't fight enough, only 2 fights since dominating Froch. The division is always changing while he's inactive. Floyd earned this right by becoming bigger than his division. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Golovkins name will be known once he defeats JC Chavez Jr which will be another great fight I'll be looking forward too, I do agree with you though that he needs to get his name out there somewhat he has all the talent in the world though so I wouldn't put it past him, hopefully once his management issues are resolved he'll start fighting a lot more which seems to be the impediment atm.

JJtheRed 7,200 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) $32m? Seems a lil low for Floyd... Granted, it's not a huge fight... Still, not bad for a night's work Edited April 30, 2014 by JJtheRed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulMUFC 388 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Anyone watching Ringside? Froch and Groves are on. Groves is such a whiny little bitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
