seanz25 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Â Brook vs Khan in 2017 then. Â Â Â Can't see Khan wanting any of Brook. The huge cheque part I reckon Khan wouldn't mind. Right now other than Paqman there's no other huge fight for Khan available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 11, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thought Brook has a great start but after round 2 the constant GGG pressure was getting to him. The stoppage felt premature but at that point Brook was in a world of shit, i dont think it was gonna get any better for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yeah, the decision to call it of at that time was slightly questionable I guess, but I've always gone with the idea that when your own corner want it stopping, they know you best, they know your done. They're can't really be to many complaints. Also Brook really was offering nothing back and looked to be out of it when GGG was unloading punches on him.

Paid Members Fox Piss Posted September 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2016 Didn't Eddie Hearn say Brook was up on the scorecards? Kell only won round 2 to me and was getting murdered in the fifth. Sky was unbearable afterwards as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Anyone else find the show a real drag to watch before the main event? I know they didn't all go the distance but having so many 12 rounders in a row is just jarring to watch sometimes and this show just felt like a bit of a slog to get through. It wasn't as bad as a Frank Warren undercard but it was still a bit of a chore to sit through. The last couple of Anthony Joshua cards have been really good but this wasn't much cop apart from Golovkin vs Brook and Conor Benn's fight. Â Glad I didn't pay for this one, to be honest. Â On the plus side, it was refreshing not having to listen to Jim Watt. Edited September 11, 2016 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Yea, dragged for me too. It didn't help that GGG and Brook were in the ring for what felt like 20 minutes before the fight even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 12, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2016 the show started well but i felt the Haskins/Hall fight sucked the life out of the event. Boxing cards are hard things to get right, people complain about depth but unless you get several barnburners in a row 36 minute fights can be hard to get through. Main event made it worth it though. Â The HBO/Showtime format of just have two real solid fights (sometimes 3) is the best way to go. Still, nothing says you need to start watching from the beginning. The actual HBO card Saturday night was cracking, Kamegai/Soto Karass & Gonzales/Cuadras were both real good fights. I had Chocolatito's fight as a draw, hell of a scrap, it was interesting because for 3 rounds Kellerman and Jones were basically wanking under the desk talking about Chocolatito but it was apparent the tide was changing before they'd even noticed it.

Kellerman is a huge fan of Chocolatito. He was raving about him on ESPN in the days before the fight. Â I agree that the show was too long on Saturday. If they had cut out the Paul Smith and Marin Ward fights, it wouldn't have done any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 14, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) the Martin Ward fight was the second best of the night, i get your point though. Â Yeh, Kellerman loves Chocolotito and with good reason. But he couldn't see past the love for the first part of the fight on Saturday, he did come around in the end though. Â Anyone else baffled by the reaction to GGG on Saturday? Many people thing Kell humanised him and highlighted huge holes in his game. I completely disagree. Kell is legit world class and had 1 excellent round but GGG has always been willing to take shots to give shots, he's a pressure fighter and stays in guys faces from bell to bell, if you can't outpunch the guy he's gonna smash you. It feels like GGG is getting shit for having a crowd pleasing style. Â Oh, and the Eubanks have trumped themselves for being complete knobs in the aftermath: Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0g1utiuQHI Â Considering both Eubanks have been involved in fights where a corner throwing in a towel might have prevented serious injury, it makes the comments even more moronic. Â Here's a Eubank Sr. comment made post Nick Blackwell: Â 'If it was my son I'd have thrown in the towel' Â Edited September 14, 2016 by Egg Shen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HFCnDUOEJaQ Â Canelo / Smith preview. Nice 30 minute build up from HBO. Should be a good one while it lasts. Can see Alvarez's speed and size advantage on the night being the difference but hope Beefy puts up a sterling effort.

jimufctna24 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Aye. The Eubanks came across as right twats there. I can't help but laugh every time Snr speaks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Looking forward to Canelo/Smith tonight. Â There's also boxing on Sky at 9.30 from Poland Glowacki/Usyk, Cruiserweight Title fight. The names may not be familiar but people are expecting it to be a bit of a war, should be worth tuning in for.

HeavyT Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah that cruiser fight will be be a slobber knocker. Smith v Canelo might be a decent one as well, but I can't help but think it will be similar to the JAMES Kirkland fight. Smith has hasa tight defence but just comes forward like most of Gallagher fighters, canelo isn't the hardest puncher but he's very accurate!

jimufctna24 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Frank Warren sounds off about the Eubanks. While I'm no fan of Frank, he probably has a point.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 True what Warren is saying. However he himself is forever cancelling and rescheduling shows for a number of bullshit reasons. Eubank jnr is a clown though. Never beat a real live opponent, he stepped up once and lost. Think people are starting to see through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
