Steve Bunce discussion for Primetime

by Adam D Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:36 am

First topic message reminder :

As you know, we are doing a interactive session with Primetime during the fight tonight.

As one of the opening discussions, Steve Bunce has contacted us with the following message:

I'm rating Mayweather through the ages...Olympic feather, super-feather,
lightweight, light-welter, welter and light-middlle. Let's look at fighters
at those weights who would have beaten him....simple.

Over to you guys - make your comments good - you might make it on air!

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:52 am

One of the judges had it 96-93 to Vargas after a point deduction!

She'll be driving home in a Floyd bought car tonight!

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:53 am

Yeah, not surprising. Not sure Vargas deserved it, and he looked very poor after all the hype from the Mayweather camp.

Vargas vs Khan? Not for a long long time, if Vargas has any sense.

Also, is it me, or does Khan look a hell of a lot bigger than Vargas at the weight.

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:55 am

Khan looks huge compared to Vargas

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:56 am

Benny's hair is immense - can I have his hairdressers name please!

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:11 am

Cano is going to win this have it 19-19 after 2

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:15 am

Morales third round - 29-28(M)

Still think cano will stop him

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:18 am

Cano looks done after 4!

39-37 to Morales

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:23 am

much better from Cano - round 5 to him

48-47 to Morales for me after 5

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:27 am

morales just in that round - 58-56to Morales

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:31 am

67-66 to Morales - good round for cano there

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:31 am

To echo Wayne McCullough, I hope Morales wins this then retires. It is sad watching him now in comparison to his former self, despite the fact that he can still handle himself!

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:35 am

He said he would take one more fight as part of a 6 fight comeback

Morales round 68-65 to Morales

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:39 am

Another Morales round - 78-74

Cano looks beaten up - great heart though

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:42 am

I hope his corner stops it

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:45 am

What was the doc doing? Should have been stopped half way through that round

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:52 am

Buncey - ask Khan if he would take Mayweather next if Floyd wins tonight

by Adam D Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:59 am

Question for Buncey:

Who from the Contender has had the best career in your opinion?

Gomez? Mora? Manfredo Wink

?

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:00 am

Buncey, how would you see Mayweather vs Naseem Hamed going at say a catchweight between featherweight and super-featherweight?

My own take would be a Mayweather UD, though Hamed's power and unorthodox style could cause a few problems along the way.

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:13 am

Should that doctor at the morales vs cano fight be given an all expenses paid trip to specsavers???

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:14 am

Holy god feck, who dug Cortez up for the mayweather fight??!!

by Samsonzi Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:19 am

Buncey,

please read out the punch Stats of the McCloskey fight to Khan, then ask him how he feels about The FACT that McCloskey has beaten Prescott (not suffered a 54 second embarrassing hammering). the guy is deluded and I expected a straight talking man like yourself to mention something!

silly me

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:20 am

Join the chat box, reborn. Few of us on there, mate.

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:25 am

Hi Samson, how'd you hear about us, mate?

Buncey is a straight talker, that's for sure, so he may ask your question!

by Samsonzi Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:28 am

hi fists

used to be on old 606.

McCloskey wanted the fight stopped like Khan wants a Prescott rematch!!

cheers

I'm sure Buncey keeps the punch stats in his inner jacket pocket mate...

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:29 am

Cool, good to hear from you, should get involved more!

by School Project Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:33 am

Buncey...

Alvarez looks pretty special but looks a little clueless when backed up under pressure, how would he cope with a rangey fighter at junior Middle like Paul Williams?

by **Fists of Fury** Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:34 am

To add to that, one of our members suggested he can either attack or defend, but struggles to mix the two. Do you feel he needs to add this element to his game in order to take on the very best?

by Jukebox Timebomb Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:36 am

McAlvarez nearly let Gomez back into that fight with his Mayweather shoulder roll imitation.

by slash912 Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:37 am

Buncey, Ortiz surely playing into Floyds hands putting on so much weight overnight? He'll be too slow and he'll be eating counter rights all night.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:39 am

Buncey

Mayweather aside who do you think are the best defensive fighters around? I would say Hopkins the Klitschko's and Wonjongkam anyone else stand out for you?

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:42 am

Amir who were the more dangerous opponents?

A shot Cotto a shot Margarito 2 catchweights btw. Clottey who never threw a punch?

How drunk were you when posting this rubbish??

by No1Jonesy Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:01 pm

So at what point did Bunce actually interact with the users???

by **Fists of Fury** Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:02 pm

He read out comments posted by members of the various forums involved, and in some instances discussed those comments.

606v2 got 5 or 6 mentions, I believe.

No i know he mentioned 606V2

But what i am saying is he asked a question for discussion and quite a few gave answers and asked questions back - is he planning to answer?

by **Fists of Fury** Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:12 pm

He did so a few times throughout the broadcast.

by No1Jonesy Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:15 pm

Oh cool - what he say??

I would watch it again but due to the recording function being unavailable to me I missed it! furious

by The Galveston Giant Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:20 pm

He definately read out messages from John Wayne, one of the Captains and Jimmy Stuart, although it was brief there was a few other websites involved and there was too much boxing to get through to have much studio time. John's was a baldy question to Bunce which they had a chuckle about.

by Adam D Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:43 pm

Just got a message from Buncey:

Can you let people at the 606 site know that their posts will get read out tonight on my BBC London 94.9 Boxing Hour between 8-9pm.

Bunce

Not sure if you can get it on DAB or Sky but if anyone knows, let us know what is said.

by Michaels, Sean Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:46 pm

Buncemeister, what's your take on Box Nation and how do you see its effect on the sport and its fans.

There's a link on the BBC Boxing website, he shouted me out last time!

by **Fists of Fury** Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:52 pm

Steve, just last week we were discussing ways of ridding the sport of the proliferation of belts, ensuring that the best fight the best, and having just one champion again per division. One suggestion was that it'd be nice for a multi-billionaire to come along and buy out all of the governing bodies. Can you suggest any other ways that could correct the wrongs and rid boxing of this 'disease'?

by John Bloody Wayne Thu Sep 22, 2011 2:20 pm

Look at Ward, look at B-Hop, look at Mayweather. if Haye had shaved his head would he be the heavyweight champion right now and Wlad an over sized has been?
