🄊 The Boxing Thread

The curse of Bazza strikes again.

I’m catching up on the card from Germany last night, decent fight between Huck and afolabi. Did you catch that one Ted? Opinions?

Decent scrap, Tokyo … Afolabi is a beast and would punch the lights out of Some Other-Bloke,

I used to be a big boxing fan and can see the allure of it. I’ve worked for Sky Sports for coming up for 10 years. Boxing is a brutal sport. Some guys like Nathan Cleverley, a bright graduate are slurring their speech and have memory problems.

It’s not a fashionable attitude but wtf

Connor McGregor loses…didn’t think it was possible *.

Just watched this. Now that was fucking brutal.

I know the feeling.

The brutal the better?

Yes Ted, sometimes. Do you come on here for some kind of self torture? A penance maybe? If you hate boxing, why click on a thread with the title ā€˜boxing’?

I would find drinks with Lou brutal. Therefore I never click on the drinks with Lou thread. I don’t live in Eastleigh and have no desire to commute to watch Bletch play percentage football at Fleming Park, therefore do not click or post on his kick about thread.

You do however love a bit of the boxing thread. Is it penance or perhaps a bit of missionary work to show us the errors of our ways?

Btw Nathan Cleverly is Welsh so would probably sound like he was sluring his speech if he was a professional golfer.

Rock on, Ted.

More power to you.

Toke’s a ****.

I cringed watching. It’s a different beast.

I take it back, I’d love to kick bletch about.

There’s a bib waiting for you anytime, Toke.

For all your sweet talking, you’ll still have to undergo the gism biscuit initiation (again).

Now fuck off and read a thread you actually contribute to.

I’d suggest you carry on posting on the ā€œI fuck labradorsā€ thread in the hidden beastiality forum.

Best fight of the weekend was Lucas ā€˜Big Daddy’ Browne vs Ruslan Chagaev in Chechnya. Definitely the strangest sports event I have seen on TV in a long time. The mental looking president (in a hoody) sat ringside on a satan sofa, watching the fight and rubbing his beard while being flanked by two special forces men with machine guns. Well worth a watch if you have boxnation, if not this is best I can do:

Did you see it Gboy? For me this was miles more interesting than the skycard on at the same time. Fair play to Browne, going over there and winning.

I couldn’t focus by that time on Saturday so watched this morning. He did well but I find it very hard to get excited about the HW division at the moment.

Why? I am loving the HW division at the moment. I know there are 400 different belts and every causal thinks the fighter from their country is the HW champ (this is happen when AJ beats Martin), however most people who follow boxing, know Fury is the ā€˜real’ champ.

After years of Vlad killing the division with boredom and Floyd doing the same for the midgets, the sport has really opened up. Providing people keep fighting each other, it should be good. Ortiz V AJ or even Browne V Parker would be interesting fights. Better of years of Vlad jab and hugs anyway.

Two stories in one for you there.

Never heard of him but a Canadian Boxer - Cody Nixon was killed Sunday when his rented Ferrari smashed into a streetlamp here at ā€œmassive speedā€

Obviously a sad waste of 4 lives but also what a mess they made of the car ffs.
