Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2016 Had a quick look at the betting for Haye's next opponent. Briggs is favourite followed by Alexander Ustinov and Bryant Jennings. I'm not sure that anyone really knows, even Haye, so he could end up fighting Johnny Briggs, Peter Ustinov, or Pat Jennings at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Id love it to be Shannon Briggs. The Briggs schtick has worn thin because he's been talking more than fighting. I'd be back on board if he signed to fight Haye though.

HeavyT Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Briggs would be KO'd I believe. too old, too slow, wasnt really a top flight heavyweight anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2016 Floyd Mayweather had an "evening with" show planned for the Colston Hall in Bristol but it was cancelled over protests over the whole woman beating thing. When I mentioned this, it became clear my wife was under the impression Mayweather was going to be boxing at Colston Hall. I'm now in the doghouse for just how much I laughed at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Frank Bruno has been down to Hatton's gym for a workout. He looks in great shape for 54. Â Â There was another photo of Ricky watching his trainee's doing cardio while he tucks into a pie. Â Â Â Jean Pascal vs. Sergey Kovalev rematch is on tonight. Not sure why a rematch is needed, Kovalev should be fighting another Canadian based fighter who keeps ducking him. Â Sergey Khomitsky vs. John Ryder is on Sky Sports tonight. Khomitsky's record looks dodgy but he's a tough cookie and faced a lot of good opposition. Khomitsky also drew with Nick Blackwell who has beaten John Ryder so they're fairly evenly matched.

He looks in great shape for a 24 year old. I've never in my life looked even half that good physique-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 30, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ha, good one. I was referring to Bruno. Sadly, I'm closer to Hatton's build than Bruno's at the minute. I'm probably the chubbiest I've ever been right now. I've got to start my running and BJJ again. That Bruno picture has sealed it. 54 for fuck's sake.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I remember Frank Bruno lived in the Gorbals (with his girlfriend. It was very odd) and was on his varanda waving to people all day. Just sitting on there, drinking all day by the looks of it. Sometimes dancing.

Rossman Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 So Kovalev wiped the floor with Pascal again winning every round. Pascal was down in the 1st but the ref ruled it a slip on a clean punch. Pascal's best defence was gloves up, bending over in the corner, hiding. Pascal's new trainer Freddie Roach threatened to pull Pascal out at the end of the 6th round. Pascal pleaded for another round, he got it, got beat up some more and Roach stopped the fight at the end of the 7th. Â There had been some bad blood between Pascal & Kovalev before the fight. Kovalev has been accused of racism, and Pascal brought banana's to the press conference. He was only giving them out to black people including Kovalev's trainer John David Jackson which stirred up some more conflict. Post fight Kovalev showed his cold Russian side by declaring he wanted inflict more pain & punishment on Jean Pascal but the fight was stopped. He said he wanted to fight "Adonis Chickenson" and started making quacking noises and then there was a repeat of the Wilder/Fury scuffle from the other week. Stevenson randomly shouting "hey thats me! I'm the champ, I'm the champ." whilst his entourage did some pseudo holding him back whilst Kovalev walked off.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 1, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2016 it was painful to watch, Kovalev beat the shit out of Pascal. The stuff pre-fight was real bad taste stuff and i think most people took Kovalev's side despite him being the one on the recieving end of racist accusations. Â The post-fight thing was pretty funny though, Stevenson and his buddies came in looking like Al Capone and his buddies shouting and screaming. The fight can't take place though because neither are willing to budge from their respective broadcasters (HBO/Showtime), i'd still rather see that fight than Kovalev/Ward though. Â George Groves comeback was fairly straight forward on Saturday night too, he's come so close to a world title fight that it's pointless him hanging around down at a lower level, hopefully he gets a big fight next then gets back into the chat for a rematch with DeGale.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2016 Frank Bruno has just said he's returning to boxing on "This Morning" there. No chance this will happen....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted February 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2016 Frank Bruno has just said he's returning to boxing on "This Morning" there. No chance this will happen....right? Â No reason why he couldn't do a masters style exhibition fight to get a nice pay day. He needs to stay away from anything competitive. Is he still having mental health issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 He would not get a proper licence due to his eye injury. Watched Groves on Saturday, despite good reports i read on his performance i thought it looked a bit tentative and disjointed. I guess he just wanted to get the win under his belt. He seems to be throwing alot more jabs to the midsection which could be a good weapon for him considering his long arms. But there just looked something missing IMO, maybe he'll start to look better the more time he spends with Mcguigan. It's a stacked division with alot of big money fights ahead for him.
