The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Absolute state of this! :lol:

There's a whole lot of heart in that photo.

How did he embarrass himself? He went in and stood toe to toe against a decent boxer for 12 rounds, never hid and gave it his best on the night.
 
Embarrassing yourself is quitting. Anyone that goes in deserves respect.


Stood toe to toe for 12 rounds ? Clearly didn't watch the fight if that's what u think degale done. Spent 9 rounds with his back on the ropes.

The return of Kel Brook in a non ppv fight sky shocker,  looking to build one of his golden boys up for one last pay day stepping up to light middle weight against Sergey Rabchenko,  i've always liked Kell as a fighter i think it'll be more a mental issue think GGG has wrecked him

I think in its own way the loss to Spence was even more brutal for him. Such a good even fight before the eye socket broke. Guy is nails for fighting through 3 rounds of that 2 fights in a row but it will shorten his career.

Then you look at Rigondeaux who just chucked it because he was getting stuffed.

Fury cleared to fight by UKAD, two year ban backdated, yet his positive test was Feb 15!

His missed test charge was withdrawn.

DQ'd from his Feb 15 fight v Christian Hammer.

How interesting, given the time taken for the hearing to take place, that the two year ban now doesn't cover the Wlad fight.

Jeff Horn stopped Corcoran in the 11th round to retain his welterweight title over in Australia a few hours ago. Haven’t seen it as at work, but hopefully catch a replay later as was supposed to be a good fight according to reports.

Was speaking to a mate who watched it. Said it was entertaining but not one for the purists. Had Horn 5-2 then said it looked as though Corcoran was right back in it. Stopped due to a cut I think. Be good if Horn can get a pay day in Vegas v Crawford. He’d get schooled imo but he’s a likeable guy so be nice to see him earn his money.

Cordina looked pretty class there. Limited opponent but stopped a guy who’s only been stopped 4 times in 40 fights with ease. Seen okolie as well. Another pretty shite opponent but Nathan Gorman took 5 rounds to stop him, okolie easily in 2.
