Boxing: General News & Discussion Thread

So they are making a biopic about Brendan Ingle, and obviously the man you get to play him is 

Pierce Brosnan. The make up people have done wonders.

Not sure if everyone has seen 

 

But apparently Floyd Mayweather Vs mike Tyson is happening as a exhibition bout date/time/location to be announced.

Well this is going to kill Tyson no doubt 

[Egg Shen]

Barely raised an eyebrow at that this morning. Surely no one gives a fuck after that Jake Paul debacle.

Absolute head shaker of an announcement

Not a great day for the boxing fraternity in the courts. Steffy Bull getting 10 years for supplying cocaine. A Wing will have a decent boxing team.

Not saying 10 years is a slap on the wrist but I think Stefys situation could have gone a lot worse.  Cases like that can easily end up being 14 years +, and quite often more than that. 

Whole case is mental the way they were talking to each other, showing all the tact of a bull in a China shop.

What a tit.

I’ve always loathed Saunders but every time I’ve seen him since he retired I’ve been reminded how satisfying Canelo caving the prick’s eye socket in was. It’s like the Sofia Vergara of Boxing results, just keeps getting better with age.

Made even better by how much of a cunt he'd been for the six months previous about Dubois' eye injury against Joyce.

Very sad news.

Ricky Hatton has been found dead at his home. The police do not think his death was suspicious.

He was only 46?

Awful news, what a fighter, gave boxing fans many great nights, the atmosphere at Hatton-Tsyzu was unreal, poor fella battled a lot with his mind over the years didn't he, RIP champ.

[wandshogun09]

Really in shock at this. Last thing I expected to read today.

I attended his comeback fight in 2012. Never experienced an atmosphere like it.

A great memory to have, Hatton fights had undeniable energy. That was the Senchenko fight that wasn't it, I read his book that came out not long after that 'War and Peace: My Story', great book, might have to dig it out again.
