Boxing Thread For All Of Tonights Big Fights: Let's Get Ready

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:46 pm

First up it's Blackpool on the red button at 6pm.

Then it's lanky Tyson Fury at 9.30, minus silly trainer Peter.

Then Canelo vs Trout. A sizzler in the making. Mr. Bacon and cheese faced Trout, let's go.

Excited? You better be.

anyone know any of the undercards, i know hughie fury is fighting- are channel 5 showing it?

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:52 pm

Going to be an amazing night of boxing, Chisora, Cleverley, Alvarez and Fury.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:52 pm

Hope so Eddie.

We have Callum Smith, Scotty Cardle and Tom Stalker up soon. Not sure who is on the Canelo under card, some guff most likely.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:53 pm

Nice to know victorgarco.

by eddyfightfan Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:54 pm

nice, watched stalkers last few and needs a big win to live up to the hype, slightly scrappy in recent outings.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:58 pm

Couldn't agree more Eddie.

My one criticism of the Eddie prospects is that they are all trying too hard to knock their opponents heads off. They aren't 'boxing' and at times look really amateur.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:01 pm

Please can we try and not reference online streaming guys, against house rules.

by eddyfightfan Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:02 pm

i think thats often the case when young prospects get shown on TV early in their careers.

anyways off to shop for some tinnies and supplies for tonights action, should be a good night.

The Rose fight is really interesting and I'm not sure fans should read to much in to the Macklin stoppage for Alcine. Has said this week he'd been out of the ring for 9 months and took it for money. Rose will have to be on top form or he could lose, that said I see a UD for him.

Shouldn't really be mentioned, mentioning it as obvious as Davide does is daft.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:10 pm

Chill out Hampo.

Ryan Aston doesn't look like much for a GB 'star'.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:12 pm

Very chilled David, on my 4th beer of the night and waiting for the curry to arrive.

Make yourself fat...

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:15 pm

You simply cannot guys, amen to that.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:16 pm

TRUSSY BABY!

Ready for a big night? Give me your Trout vs Canelo breakdown.

I'm not american so not much chance of that.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:18 pm

Wtf, Fury is fighting in America, why is his fight on so early

Is it not on live in the US too

Regardless of that it should be a fun night with a really great fight topping it off and there are alot of really promising undefeated fighter on that undercard too

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:20 pm

Fury's fight is an afternoon fight.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:22 pm

TRUSSMAN66 wrote:Make yourself fat...

Saturday night, you're not on the protein shakes are you?

I believe Fury is on live but the network didn't want to challenge Canelo vs Trout for viewers.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:23 pm

Estimated 10 million worldwide audience.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:31 pm

Sky Sports Steffan.

Odd that, neither are huge draws so having it in the afternoon won't really so great business

Chicken Tikka Balti.

Better first round for Stalker, looked skilled and fluid, patient and wise.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:43 pm

Stalker looks good Steffan, needs to get a KO.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 6:58 pm

Stalker is 28 so needs to be moved on a little quicker than he is as he has won this pretty easily

However his lack of power seems like it can be a big problem as he steps it up as his style seems quite intense (high work rate) so it'll be hard to maintain for 12 rounds

The fight is on free to air TV in the US I believe, should get a huge audience. Its all about getting Fury exposure over there.

And if I started on the beers as early as you lot I'd be asleep by 9pm. Must be my age.

Yea I've just seen its to be show on NBC, didnt know they showed boxing, and if so its a huge plus for Tyson as huge numbers should be guaranteed and is a good move for boxing in the long term if both NBC and CBS start show boxing more often

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:45 pm

Great performance by Askin, I backed Clarke to beat him but that was the best I've seen Askin box.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:51 pm

Harrison on his last warning in just the second round picard

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:51 pm

Harrison is in this at the moment. Would imagine he will gas if it goes on

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:52 pm

He took the uppercut really well in the 2nd Sean

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:53 pm

Not watching Harrison as a matter of principle, odious little man. What's happening?

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:55 pm

Bit give and take at the moment. Harrison had a good third round.

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 7:58 pm

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:00 pm

Good 4th round, great combination from Harrison but Walsh picked the perfect shot to comeback with.

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:00 pm

Walsh prob 3-1 up but it isn't one sided. They have opened up a couple of times, too

by All Time Great Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:04 pm

I thought Ch5 pulled out of boxing? Just noticed the Fury fight is on at 9.30pm

Boxing has really picked up as of late.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:16 pm

Harrison is looming very tired now, he won't stop but he doenst look like he has enough to win rounds at this stage

Walsh looks more comfortable now and is willing to engage when he wants

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:17 pm

Go on Walshy, spark him.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:19 pm

Wow saved by the bell then.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:20 pm

Walsh will go for it this round, and I don't think Harrison can't take another pounding like that
