Devastating. That right hand negates any/all lack of actual skill. The power in it is beyond normal scale. AJ's biggest weakness suits that punch perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevieda Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'd also like to add Joe Joyce is terrible.Looks like he'll fight Povetkin next month so will be a good barometer to see. I think he looks like he'd trouble anyone including the big 3. Would back him to KO povetkin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Don't like saying it but Prograis is a level or 2 above Baranchyk. Imagine he'll be quite a clear favourite for the final now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine he'll be quite a clear favourite for the final now.I think Josh needs to be fighting a lot smarter now at this level. To often he was needlessly getting drawn into a fight with Baranchyk. Think it was the 11 when he was caught and forced back. When he was actually using his skills he was making Baranchyk look foolish swinging wildly and missing. Think he has the height and reach advantage against Prograis so he has to use that and not get drawn into anything silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The dynamics were a bit different with it being a semi final. Josh knew he'd done enough with the two knockdowns and underlined his superiority at will, hitting Barancyk with those double jabs, making him miss at times and also steaming into him at times to hurt him. Just couldn't see Josh losing that fight due to how one dimensional (cracking wee scrapper though) Barancyk is. Prograis has openly been focusing on Taylor for a while and looked a bit rattled at the scale of the event on Saturday. With about 60 more amateur fights and fewer pro fights, Josh doesn't seem to care too much about who he is facing. He has the tools to handle any kind of fight. 8/5 on Taylor to win seems good value. I don't think the skill gap between them (in Prograis's favour) is as wide as the physical gap (in Taylor's favour). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Just seen a press conference for a ridiculous bare knuckle event in which Paulie Malignaggi spat at opponent Artem Lobov. A manky wee p***k, who has been making an arse of himself over Lobov for months now. But Malignaggi, with his china hands in a bare knuckle fight?? Id be willing to take a shot off Paulie tbh. Hope he gets laid out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Was also surprised auld pillow fists was going to bare knuckle. Do this mob have big money behind them? I noticed the other week British Cruiserweight jobber Matty Askin had joined this mob as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Leben been in some absolute wars and knocked his opponent out in 25seconds in his last BK fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The bare knuckle stuff is horrific. How this is ever sanctioned is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The bare knuckle stuff is horrific. How this is ever sanctioned is beyond me.A lot of people even within boxing make the arguement that it is safer. Not sure I subscribe but generally along the same lines as the headguard arguement I think, ie use of gloves allows for more prolonged beating which is worse. A combination of less punches thrown (fighters have to think about their hands) and less taken (greater impact, easier to KO) means less cumulative damage. Thats the gist anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These precautions ie gloves etc are put in to make it safe no???Yeah, but thinking changes over time I guess. I dont fancy it. I dont think it will take off, as it is probably too brutal to gain much traction, and no one except hardened fighters or those with limited options will want to risk either their hands or their faces on it. Malignaggi being the exception since I believe he could still get at least some gatekeeper type boxing matches. Just speculating really about why it hasnt been banned. Conventional thinking sees it as open and shut. Like i say I havent read much about it, just that some folk take the view that gloves allow for more blunt force trauma to the head. They tried to start something like it not that long ago with a cpuple of names. It was like a bowl type set up and I think bare knuckle. IIRC Gabe Rosado was maybe involved, il have to google, anyway, that never took off either Eta talking shite, it was Big Knockout Boxing I am thinking of but they used conventional gloves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are Pars Fans! Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Malignaggi making an absolute c**t of himself there. Disgusting behaviour from him. I liked him as a pundit but I’ve lost all respect for him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Would genuinely love to see a highlight reel of the 17 wins from 17 he'd had before tonight. Edited May 25, 2019 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I shudder to think what he's been fighting. That guy should not possess a licence was really dangerous the only saving grace was he was in with pillow fists Hughie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
