Joe_the_Lion Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I know it's a bit pedantic but Billy Collins wasn't a victim of loaded gloves, quite the opposite - his opponents gloves had had 1 or 2 ounces of padding removed from them.

Theres parking all around Bham City Centre but its pretty expensive I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 28, 2009 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 hmmmm, that's some dodgy promoting if it's true. It wouldn't be the first time some late changes have taken place on Warren cards though, boxing's a dodgy game. Â i was thinking of going to the Olympian show, but i'm at a stag weekend the same time i'm hoping they'll do a cardiff show. Skelton/Rogan is going to be the most scrappy heavyweight fight in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 14, 2009 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 i always used to say 'how gutting would it be to travel a huge distance for a fight to finish in the 1st round'...well, it happened to me last night. Â Went to see Nathan Cleverley's latest defence in Swindon and he won a weak TKO in the opening round, doh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the Friday Fight Night's recently have been absolute garbage-just one-sided mismatches for Commonwealth belts and unfortunately that was what happened last night.  Still, the next couple of weeks look better. Prizefighters next week, and on the 27th is rendall Munroe's European title defence, and Tony Jeffries' pro debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 5, 2009 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 5, 2009 i've started to watch the backlog of boxing documentaries ive been collecting, today i watched: Â Scott Harrison - On The Ropes - the sad case of Scott Harrison. This starts off as a doc. about Harrison's return to the ring, but ends with back in jail. You don't really get a close look at Harrison's troubles because he keeps the documentary maker distant, but it's clear that Harrison is a very flawed person. You wouldn't think it by seeing him interviewed here, but it's obvious he's a fuck up. Sad case, but the guy has problems and he's being punished for them. Â Michael Watson - Fighting Back - this was incredibly sad. The first half of this tells Watson's life story, the 2nd concentrates on what happened the fateful night he fought Eubank for a 2nd time. A difficult watch and a must see for any boxing/sport fan in my opinion. The tale has an uplifting end to it, but it hits home on how dangerous combat sports are. The footage of Watson in recovery is harrowing and difficult to watch. The fact that Watson recovered as much as has is amazing. A must see.

mikey Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I saw an email threatening anybody who will pirate the Jones/Sheika show with legal action, using new tracking technology to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
