đŸ„Š The Boxing Thread

2 Likes

Boxing gets something of a bad rep, and did so in the initial formation of this thread, but it is starting to become my favourite sport.

It is, simultaneously, the oldest sport in the world and one of the most progressive. People have been knocking the fuck out of each other since the dawn of time. Combine that with “only punch” and “not punching someone in the bollocks” and you’ve got boxing. It’s ancient. Then you’ve got the fact that unlike most other sports apart from tennis and MMA, there’s just as much respect for female participants as men.

A bloke I shared digs with was a proper boxing fight, and once told me that any evenly matched bout was a good bout. Boxing obviously agrees.

You’ve got Savannah Marshall headlining a Sky Fight Night and I’ve no doubt that women are eventually going to be big draws in the PPV space as they get themselves established. Yep, this is all new and still in its infancy on the big stage, but I think it’s very exciting. Marshall is an example of something we’ve not seen in the women’s ranks before - a KO rate of over 80%. There will be plenty of other trailblazers to follow.

OK experts.

Easy.

Only glanced Dillian as well, if he’d got him square on the chin he wouldn’t have got up.

Karaoke night time!

Some of the replays show it was still pretty brutal. The “shot” that put him down was a push. A bit like the “prod” move in the Worms games!

Didn’t see Dillian getting a round there and I think he has been fucking badly advised by his people during the build up. Can’t imagine any other promoter other than Silver Spoon wanting to touch him.

He won’t be earning that sort of money again.
