Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 22, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Kell Brook definitly made a bit of a statement to move onto the world scene, he fights Devon Alexander next, looking forward to that. Â Had the US fights spoiled for me by UFCMania that used the boxing results as their main headline on their site, annoying. Â im gonna rustle the 3 Pacquiao/Marquez fights and score em all before December 8th, see what i come up with.

patiirc Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I caught most of Robin Reiad vs Kenny Anderson over the weekend, and was a bit bemuddled. Thought Reid had retired, to do films or something, and was surprised that was doing well against a lacklustre looking Anderson, until whatever round Reid got done for a low blow and then was pretty much destroyed himself  Anyone else watch? Dont get much boxing in these days. Miles off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted October 25, 2012 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2012 I usually take Twitter rumours/reports from individuals with a pinch of salt, but a good few boxers who know Steward are also saying he's not died. He's seriously ill, but from what most are saying he's still alive. Notably Andy Lee who trains at Kronk Gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 I hope it turns out not to be true about him dying and he makes a recovery. I've always liked Manny Steward. One of the best trainers in Boxing, enjoyed his commentating for HBO and always preferred him over Max Kellerman, and I loved his outbursts at Jermain Taylor and Wlad between rounds. Â Like most though, his time as Tommy Hearns' trainer is what I think of first with Steward. This will hit Hearns hard if it's true because Steward was like a Dad to him from a very young age. Â Its odd how there's so many conflicting reports. People who you'd think would know are saying he's died but then his sister, and other places are saying he's alive.
