This Weekend's Boxing (Garcia vs. Benn - August 12th)

[Gooner]

I done well with my picks lol. The saving grace is watching Eddie "liar" Hearn get swept, they should have bought the brush out for him . Really enjoyed the show.

The Zhang Bang ?

What a great night of boxing. Great performances all around. Wilder is done now. Dubois v AJ at Wembley it is then.

I thought Frank was going to do a spinarooni in the ring or something by the end. What a night for him.

He’s making Eddie’s life miserable on the flight back. The true ‘plane ride from hell’ for Hearn.

This is all so bizarre. And if you switch off to the bleak fact that human nature is so shallow that even sworn enemies can be paid to be mates, its all very fun too.

I thought Frank was displaying shit chat, but the high five line was exceptionally well delivered.

Christ…

I think everyone got this wrong, 5-0 Queensbury  unbelievable.

Great night of fights though, thought every fight delivered in some way or another, it just goes to show what stakes and well matched fights can do. Cracking stuff.

Looks like Hutchinsons win is already paying off. 

Yarde has been more badly managed than Chelsea, with more legal travails incoming.  Made up for Hutchinson though.

Yeah I imagine Hutchinson will happily take that. He was one of the standouts of the 5 vs. 5. What an absolutely mental accent though.

The only problem is that Buatsi is with Boxxer and Ben Shalom loves to pull out of a purse bid.

It probably could have gone into the shit boxing thread, but Don King is back with another poundshop postered event this Friday. Adrien Broner is back!

King's events are my guilty pleasure in Boxing. Just a barmy cast of characters and random matchmaking in odd venues. This one is no different, the fight itself is not bad, Broner looks in good nick and Cobb's is a decent loud mouthed prospect. 

The event's press conference went viral yesterday after Broner apparently confessed to committing and getting away with murder whilst threatening to have his people shoot Cobb if he was disrespectful to him. Prior to Broner's arrival Cobb performed a ventriloquist routine on stage to the press.

Don King fight nights ?

Ha! The state of that. Proper 80s graphics skills. Also love the “PLUS FOUR TITLE FIGHTS”…which we’re not gonna give any poster space to because Don and his hair are taking up 1/3 of it. 

[Egg Shen]

the original poster was better, the main event of the show was originally meant to be Mikaelian/Rozicki but there was an injury, Broner made up the numbers in the bottom right hand corner (read the small print) ?

Utterly silly weekend of fights coming up. I didnt even realise Tank was fighting this weekend, snuck right up on me.
