MONKMAN Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Arthur’s jab was excellent. 117-111 Yarde card was ridiculous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 “Lions in the camp” Nope [emoji23] Yarde and his whole team seem like arrogant wankers, so very glad he lost. Arthur’s jab was outstanding and well deserved result, IMO. Frank will be absolutely inconsolable with tonight and last weeks’ results [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Two weeks on the trot where the jab has dominated fights. Surely a lesson, to ALL aspiring boxers, of the benefit of using the most basic of punches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Arthur v Yarde was shite. Two weeks in a row we’ve seen the boxer with more amateur experience and a proper trainer win the fight only using a jab against a boxer with little amateur experience and a cheerleader for a trainer. Turns out ability and experience can beat hype, who knew?!Spence jr v Garcia was decent. Spence looking like he’s never been out the ring / Garcia starting far too slow. Garcia came back in towards the end but never really hurt Spence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yarde is absolute w****r delighted to see him get his dinner served last night. So arrogant in the post match interview as well. Gave Arthur zero respect and kept interripting him. Only so long you can have "Lions in the camp" as instruction from the corner. That ain't going to progress his careeer. Needs to get away from Tunde to a proper trainer if he is going to do anything of note. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is Pantomime season so what better time to announce a Pantomime fight. This sort of pish needs to stop IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much disagree with all of that tbh, but you’re spot-on about muppets paying for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If this bullshit takes off, it takes money off the table for real fights and fighters. It's a fucking disaster for boxing as a sport. Boxing as a nonsense exhibition is the future apparently. Poke it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Does Pulev have a good chance on Saturday, obviously he has a punchers chance but is he quite technical?Worth getting the fight in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes attention and therefore money out of the sport, it will undoubtedly suffer a knock on effect. That said, the sport of boxing has only itself to blame. It's sad that over a million people would pay to see Jones v Tyson, when you imagine what sort of numbers say Spence v Crawford would draw. I'd guess at no more than 700k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Jones was an event featuring a true icon at a time when absolutely nothing happens on a Saturday night. Tyson's fame goes beyond boxing. This shit has been going on for a long time even before Ali Vs Marciano. 700k buys still equates to the fight generating over $30 million. Revenues will have to decrease by a hell of a lot before boxers decide it's not worth the hassle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merkie84 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) While I totally agree with all this I don’t blame floyd for taking these fights. It is the dream for a prize fighter, enormous purses for fighting guys that don’t have a hope in hell of beating him. Of course he is going to keep taking them as long as dafties like this keep calling him out, laughing all the way to the bank.

Rob1885 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The undercard could have been miles better with a few tweaks, which frustrates the life out of me. Don't understand why Fury and Bakolie are fighting a jobber each rather than fighting each other. The nonsense reasons as to why Florian Marku wont fight Chris Kongo (Kongo said he could only make 150, meaning the fight wouldnt take place at welterweight title fight limit so 8oz gloves wouldnt be allowed) is just ridiculous.In fairness, was clear for a long time that Okolie vs Glowacki was going to be chief support to this fight and its unfortunate that its feel off due to Covid. Don't have any issue with anyone saying they wont be buying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
