Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 4, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2017 yeh, the Haye/Bellew thing was a little strange in hindsight. I'm fully of the belief that Haye thought he was gonna walk through Bellew and that's what lead to his casual approach in the buildup. He looked great on the scale but Haye is always gonna look the part, how much actual boxing training he was doing behind the scenes was always questionable. Then you look at Bellew's views going in, he was saying that it was common knowledge in the game that Haye was finished and was only coming back for money because he was skint, Haye's shrugged it off but i always felt there was some truth to it.

Porkchopcash Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw7dDrMvojs Harley Benn, wow he looks and acts like his dad. His match is on the links below. Anyone know the beef with Conor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 4, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Isn't Harley the son Nigel had with another woman, who he never had much to do with growing up? That's probably part of the beef between Harley and Conor. Sad situation. Haven't seen him fight yet but I hope he does well. He definitely looks more like his dad than Conor does. He's got that same wide-eyed stare his dad had when talking with media, like he's one shit question away from lamping the interviewer. Edited June 4, 2017 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2017 OK so now shit has just got weird. Billy Joe Saunders fight against Khurtsidze (probably not spelled correctly) is off because Khurtsidze has been arrested in New York for racketeering. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/billy-joe-saunders-must-wait-10585919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khurtidze looked like a Russian mobster though, the guy looks like he walked in off the set of a Steven Seagal movie, i read yesterday that he may have been a hitman. Crazy.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 9, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2017 I am gutted as well, I enjoy BJS's fights, even if he is somewhat of a bellend. There were a lot of people arrested along with Khurtidze, the charges look pretty horrific, so perhaps Billy Joe may have literally dodged a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rumour had been doing the rounds long before Bellew referenced it. Haye is a great salesman. It was therefore tempting to believe him when he dismissed the rumour. However, I believe it was accurate as well. Last I heard, Haye vs Bellew 2 seemed a real possibility. If Haye can remain in one piece, I think he will gain revenge. I really look forward to Eubank Jnr's fights. They're not PPV worthy, but Snr and Jnr are always entertaining viewing - especially during the pre-fight build on IFL. Jnr is quite an exciting boxer to watch as well. Edited June 9, 2017 by jimufctna24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 10, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2017 i may actually buy the Abraham fight, i don't want too but it's a fight i wanna see and if im not busy on the evening i'll likely fork out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 11, 2017 Well I can tell you one thing, Bruno's boy, Clark Sammartino had a right nightmare as a judge last night. Either he got the names of the fighters mixed up or he genuinely thought that Haskins won that 118-108. Either way the only thing he should be allowed to judge in future is best jam at his local Women's Institute.  The amount of head clashes in the fight was ridiculous, the first one that opened them both up was terrible, Burnett's corner did a tremendous job on the cut because it was massive.
