Boxing The General Boxing Discussion Thread

I'm surprised people are shocked with Connor Benn, at the end of the day these guys are Prize Fighters, in a very dangerous sport.

I am surprised the Saudis are paying a drug cheat $15m. I get it's Sport Washing, but to still torture people, and stone people to death for religious crimes, how can they support drugs and cheating?

Anyway, on Eddie's comments about Joshua. Sure Eddie can get him big fights, but if Zuffa and the Saudis come along offering ridiculous money, he's going to be cut from the same clothe as everybody else.

If Zuffa offer Joshua $500m to fight Fury, I doubt he stays with Matchroom, but you never know. What could Matchroom offer $200m? I'm not sure.

One thing I do understand is Uncle Fester is playing with Saudi money, and they seem to have a bottomless pit of it.

I think Garcia will lose via KO tonight, he looked horrible in his last fight

 

[Around the Wicket]

**** it was bored so bought the Garcia fight.

116-111 is to wide for Russell

 

[Around the Wicket]

3 points up after 2 for Garcia

Garcia has won all 6 rounds with a knockdown.. Barrios is a shocking champ

 

[4Seasons]

Barrios loses his belt in his third defence, having never won a title fight. Thats some achievement.

Garcia looked sensational, and was far more dimensional.

So did Barrios though

Crocker v Paro fight postponed as Crocker has injured his hand.
While this is disappointing for Liam, it throws up problems for No Limit.

They paid huge money in the purse bid, and would have had Tim on the card to help sell the fight, but this makes it hard now with the Spence fight timing.

They'll probably now need to go with Nakita, and probably their other big ticket item in Sam Goodman.
That would still be a decent card I'd pay for,it's probably a stronger card overall.

 

[4Seasons]

Sounds like the Tim fight will go ahead on April 5 in Wollongong. Jacob Ng no longer interested, so apparently it will be a low level international opponent.

Sam Goodman to be the co main.

Tim isn't overly bright, and seems to have bad luck, just seems silly to fight some nobody and risk injury before a possible Spence fight. A Spence who hasn't fought in almost 3 years.

Its funny how Eddie and Frank were right up Turki's ass for the last 2 years but now his turned on them and teamed with Dana there not saying much good about him lol

Fundora v Thurman is a good match up... Fundora is just to big for the division.. Keith was a quality boxer though so hopefully he can do it but can't see it.

It will interesting to see if Thurman has anything left.
I would tip a prime Thurman, but I have no idea how past that Keith is.

I wanna see Thurman destroy Fundora's body. It's so thin and It's at a nice height to smash. Chop that big ass tree down.

he looked ok against Brock but Brock isn't really proven at any level.. got to 20-0 fighting cab drivers.

Is anyone watching this card? this ref has stopped 2 fights when the fighter is barely hurt.

Well that's no good for you cause you've missed some rippers

Mendoza loses a wide UD again after breaking his opponents nose in R3... Tim's resume isn't aging well... not up to the level we thought he was.

 

[Around the Wicket]

2-0 Fundora but Thurman looking better then Tim

 

[Around the Wicket]

3-0 Fundora... this is legit unfair this freaks at 154 lol but Keith looking good

 

[Around the Wicket]

I don't know how you can stop that when Thurmans still dodging and weaving.. he was getting touched up but let the fight end

I thought it was a good stoppage. Thurman was a couple of minutes away from being unconscious.
Each to their own though on how much someone needs to be best up.

Thurman's face though was a mess.

Fundora looks better every time he fights, becoming one of my favourites, along with his sister.
