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

[NeverYield]

Chisoras last hurrah tommorow.

[Egg Shen]

Well, of sorts. Its his last fight in the UK supposedly, he'll probably be getting a few pay days in Saudi.

[Cousin Jim Bob]

This is an IBF eliminator apparently and Warren was banging on about a big fight for the winner a while ago. So if Delboy wins, which he may well do as Wallin isn't very good, I doubt he is going anywhere.

Even if he loses I doubt he will retire. On the list of fighters I think would carry on fighting a million years past their best he would be near the top.

[NeverYield]

I'd like to see Chisora hang 'em up after tommorow.

I don't particularly like the Wallin fight for him.

But make you both right we'll probably see him again, but would rather not. Been an entertaining character in and out of the ring over the years though, game & funny fucker, so if this is it, then cheers Del Boy..

[Egg Shen]

Tonights running order:

ol' Delboy got it done. Typical Chisora performance, barreling forward throwing big heavy shots. Wallin was poor, he was never going to discourage Chisora tapping with the jab like he was, just no belief in what he was doing. Pretty fitting that Chisora's last action in a UK ring was scoring a knockdown though.

Fuck Paul Dempsey on commentary too. Hopefully the DAZN move sees the end of him.

Are the rules that no matter how bad your cut is if you are fighting Otto Wallin and you are Brirish you can't be stopped? The Del Boy as The Thomas Trieber called him incorrectly all night gave his usual performance but the fight should have been stopped for that cut. Blood was pissing out everywhere. I'm 100% with my Eggy brother as well. Fuck Paul Dempsey. So bad as a commentator we actually muted the sound after 3 rounds. It was a lot better. I also think the judge who scored it 114-112 needs his eyes checking. 

A bad night for Fish Eyes apart from that. Masood losing a tight one and Heaney showing his level is far below where they thought. 

[Egg Shen]

yeah bad night for Warren and a bad night for my betslip, some big shocks on the undercard. Zach Parker looked terrible too.

As plodding as the fight was, yeah, Dempsey on commentary was the most arse thing about that fight. Can’t pretend I was watching any of the card closely, the in laws were over and it was mostly just on as background noise. But Christ, as usual the card seemed like it went on forever.

Only time I popped all night was seeing Roberto Duran there. Fair play to him as well, he was sat there all night.

[Egg Shen]

Some of the stuff Dempsey was rattling off was so absurd it actually took away from Chisora's performance for me. 

[NeverYield]

Dreadful card I thought, especially Zach Parker. Not a patch on Last weekends boxing for me, I did turn a large majority of it off and came back for the Del Boy fight.

I think it was the moment when he compared Chisora to Earnie Shavers that was the final straw for me ?

[Egg Shen]

he said he was the second coming of George Foreman later on ?

"the most dangerous contender in the heavweight division" was another one.

I love boxing, I really do, but I don't know about continuing to roll out Joe.

Heartbreaking.
