One of my favourite 'older' sets I just found up on Youtube

 

Berto Vs Guerrero tonight... watch it, enough said.

Enjoyed the Cleverley fight. Looked good and I do think he is one of the best british boxers we have at the moment.

Seems sadly it is now confirmed. Sad day.

Well i did try & tell you all! This guy is the real deal! Bye bye Fraudley can't really say you will be missed

Tonight it was Audley, he was knocked out by a world quality shot that would have ended ANYONE! Also, listen to Fury being interviewed between rounds of the DeGale fight. OK, he comes across as a tool but I think the next 6-9 months will build up to a Fury/Price sell out event in 2013.

Wow....

 

I remember being glad Lewis lost the Rahman. As I remember it, about 5 seconds before he got knocked on his arse, Lewis gives this smug sneer with complete disdain to the man in front of him. His training going in to the fight has been not great either as he was in a Hollywood movie and was doing premieres etc instead of putting the hours on.

 

For his legacy, that defeat was the best thing that happened to him.

There are no good tit job surgeons in the UK apparently.

 

What about our beloved Donny benefactor John Ryan and his MYA line? Did a seemingly good job on Melinda Messenger.

Not going to ruin the Mitchell/Burns for anyone but watch it, for sure! My Sky+ box screwed up so watching the Odyssey card now. Hope this is as good...

I can't agree on the Bunce front. I like that. Their relaxed but knowledgable comments break up the fights nicely. What pissed me off with the american commentary last night, the thing I like about Rawling is he knows when to talk and when to be quiet for a few seconds and let the action speak for itself. The commentary last night was like they could not allow even 1 second of dead air so they kept repeating stuff over and over just for the sake of it.

 

Next week is the big one of 2012 for me. Burns Vs Mitchell is going to be a war and I can't wait! Oh, no one has said, the Sprott incident. Any view/opinions on that? I feel kinda sorry for him, that ref took the ropes worse that Kelly Kelly and the dive off the ropes is up there with Alcock!

So much for me predicting Alcine would give Macklin a tough fight. Chuffed for Macklin though. A fellow Brummie/Paddy winning in that fashion, in round 1 over a tough fighter was great to see.

 

Not kidding. Alcine just looked disinterested from the start in my opinion. Good finish by Macklin and looking forward to seeing the next step from here.

 

Full fight is HERE for those interested.

Have to say this, the co-commentator on the Alvarez/Lopez show is the most annoying ever. His whiny voice, repeating the same things over and over and he will not shut up!

You're thinking of Frank Buglioni mate. He looked great didn't he. He's 6-0 with 4 KOs now. Its early days obviously but I like him. Saunders had a great showing as well.

 

Yeah there's been a couple of dodgy incidents involving Chavez Jr and his piss. He did look very gaunt at the weigh in. I'm expecting a really good fight tonight though. I've always liked Martinez to win, if Chavez pulls it off though it will shut the doubters up and be a bit of a starmaking fight for him. Even if he loses but looks good in defeat he'll probably get more respect.

 

The build up has been top drawer I think. The Face Off and 24/7 were all excellent and in large part that's down to Chavez I reckon. The stuff about him and his dad has been interesting to watch. He's certainly a bit of a cocky fucker but I don't mind him. I'm a big fan of his dad so I'd like to see him do well in his own right. Just think Martinez will prove too much for him tonight but we'll see.

 

I'm going Martinez by 10th round TKO.

 

Yup, definetely Frank. The Boxnation guys love him and so do promoters as he is a guaranteed ticket seller due to his travelling fan base. BJ was actually talking about it last week on Buncies show how they had 3 or 4 real ticket sellers on there making for a hot crowd. Again, BJ looked the absoloute tits. The more I see, the more I like and definetely my fave of the 2008 Olympic pros.

 

Looking forward to tonights action. How do people think Macklin will do?

o contrinue the Jones Jr love, there is this short documentary on him at his peak:

 

 

This is just prior to his fight with Clinton Woods (a true british warrior!)

 

Also another one here which is not as great (Beyond The Glory):

Also, a little fact gone under the radar, he of the awesome hair, Don King, was 81 this week.

Of the above I'm really looking forward to Donaire/Nishioka,

 

\glad I am not the only one. Everyone seems to be writing off Nishioka because of his age. How do you see this going. I think Donaire could be a little over confident myself.

Is there a general consesus on 'All Or Nothing' i.e. is it honest or a PR job/another way to make money?

Second Floor Violence Death Match

 

I'm a BJPW mark and this is one of my favourite shows. Especailly when it goes all pantomime with Pondo getting the crowd to keep shouting 'IT'S HIDO'S HOUSE!'

 

For those interested, the entire match is here.

 

I am also intrigued in that Ibushi set. I have one of the Supermarket shows including his moonsault off the coke machine and the guitar playing and sing-a-long on the escelator.

Is that because of Brundles commentary?

As far as I am aware. The race footage is the same for all broadcasters. Sky obviously have the advantage with showing every race live.

Thanks for the link. Cool highlights being shown at the moment. People should check it out. Except you can't on an IPad. Bloody idiotic selfish rotten Apple!

 

I do prefer Brundles commentary without a doubt but it is more I can't stand Gary Anderson. Something about his voice and delivery is like chalk on a blackboard.

Johnny Herbert is another analyst who I never expected to be any good at the job, and his commentary in FP3 was informative and entertaining.

 

I might be the only one here but does anyone else think that Damon Hill just spends the entire show trying to contradicte and belittle Herbert in pretty much everything he says? As much as I love Jake, Jordan & Square Jaw and will sit through and enjoy their entire pre-show, when it comes to the green light I watch it on Sky.

Is there any biog that gives a real view of what it was like was a gaijin in Japan? Brets book touches on it, I was disappointed with the Foley books in this regard and not read the Jericho book yet. I see Kirschner has done a biography recentley. Anyone read that? And more to the point, would you recommend it?

What an exciting fight that was!

 

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

 

 

The question is, what now for the lad?

After seeing her last night, I have to give it to Dame Evelyn Glennie. It may have just have been a one off but she looked like Storm from the X-Men meets Sue Perkins... and I approve of that look!

 

Adam Buxton BUG is my show of choice at the moment. Really enjoying it. Oh, and Borgias Season 2 as well.

Horton (who knows very well that the bedroom is off limits) claims the bed for himself on Sunday. The little fucker.

 

Love the miserabe face while his tail is wagging ten to the dozen!

I found this little film while searching for something else online.

Not a bad little watch IMHO.
