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

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 5:46 pm

First topic message reminder :

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.

Didn't Macklin starch Alcine in a round?

At the weight above mate. Alcine hadn't fought in 9 months and took the fight for a pay day basically.

It's more about not deliberately wumming and calling a fight as we see it.

I wish Clev knew how to sit on a punch

Plus Macklin has a habit of dealing with anyone that's not world class very easily, did it to Asikainen (spelling) a couple of years back too.

Alcine got another round. Rose is really poor. No spark to his work.

Nothing to do with hate Az, all to do with watching a fight and seeing how truest awful Fury looked. He looked amatuer at times.

I have to agree with Hampo, but I do like watching Fury's fights. You don't know what to expect!!

by jimdig Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:56 pm

Cleverly has all the punches, just no power. If he had any, this fight would be over with what he is landing. Cleverly likes to get hit too.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:57 pm

Hughie. Wow Shocked

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:57 pm

Can anybody tell me what fatty Hennessey and Channel 5 said about Fury?

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:58 pm

Rose looks like crap.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:59 pm

Yeah, what did mick say?

Wasnt sure if it was Alcine in that fight. He looks strong enough at light middle so fighting a Top 6 middleweight wasnt a great idea. Then again money talks.

Rose just came back and hurt him in the 11th. Good flurry.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:00 pm

I'm going to watch the Rose fight in silence, put it on for 5 seconds between rounds in the Clev fight and Rawing annoyed the hell out of me.

by themadworldofjb Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:02 pm

Rose has finished it

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:02 pm

Clev throws so many punches, he is pretty relentless, but stil lode at ever look impressive to me

Shoeshine punches and trades on his chin too much

As I say that rose stops Alcine, had to did in but well done

by Captain Charisma Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:02 pm

Rose stopped him in the 12th. Good finish.

Alcine has nothing in him. Retirement beckons unless he has 20+ kids or something.

by All Time Great Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:03 pm

Poor stopage.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:03 pm

Fury is far and away our 2nd best hw. Future champion without doubt.

Wow you must be bored

Alfredo Angulo knocked out Alcine in a round aswell btw.

So what you are saying is that heavy weight boxing is doomed?

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:06 pm

Fury did okay, recovered well.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:06 pm

Rose isn't a puncher like Macklin or Angulo

Alcine took Lemieux's best too so stopping him is still a decent feat

by Imperial Ghosty Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:07 pm

I never understand the need to WUM, the only way Fury becomes champion is if by some miracle he avoids ever having to face a proper heavyweight.

by bhb001 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:07 pm

Davidemore, I agree with you for once. But can't see a performance to worry K2 here.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:07 pm

I saw an exciting fight with fury stopping a fighter who has never been stopped before.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:09 pm

He fought and beat kingpin. K2 would kill him though.

by bhb001 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:09 pm

Ghosty, I do think he beats almost all heavyweights out there at present. But I would like to see him in with Wilder, Thompson or even Haye. How he comes out of on of them will be interesting.

azania wrote:I saw an exciting fight with fury stopping a fighter who has never been stopped before.

It should never have been an exciting fight tho. Fury is 6 inches taller, 50lbs heavier and is the only natural hw of the two. Cunningham is a good crusierweight but he lacks power yet he still knocked fury down.

I just can't see fury really being a great hw.

by Imperial Ghosty Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:13 pm

The brothers, Haye, Pulev, Povetkin, Helenius and Boystov would all be big favourites for me.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:13 pm

Cleverly throws alot but is it just me that I find him extremely boring

Should win this in the cards but I doubt the big names will be awfully concerned and given that Cleverly isn't even headlining this card I doubt tey can geta fight in the UK

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:13 pm

Did Derek win?

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:14 pm

Hasn't fought yet, he's on last

Like every other HW?

by Steffan Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Clevs not human......he is like......a piece of iron

by bhb001 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Cheers WHU. I wondered why there was no news

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:15 pm

Eh? Cleverly was the headline fight WHU.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:17 pm

He's on next, they have buglioni and Chisora both on live next

He beats helenius and Pov. Boystov is a pick em. Haven't seen pulev enough.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:20 pm

Clev can be good if he learns not to get clocked.

It was a great fight in terms of entertainment, but sadly being in an entertaining fight does not make tyson fury a great fighter.

Anyone with a semblance of skill who matches up physically with any sort of power knocks him out.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:29 pm

Wow. I put down KO for this, with ease.

How wrong was I.

A 6ft 9 heavyweight dropped heavy by a powder punching Cruiser?

I had USS up by A LOT so what the heck were C5 on about or watching?!

Had he been a heavy, Fury would have been spanked cold.

Haye would nail him, and after seeing that, I think he might.

Fury better switch to singing, which he is actually better at believe it or not.

The guy gets sparked cold the minute he faces a proper heavy.

I can't believe the praise he gets and I honestly think Azania is just winding is up with his love for him.

Fury is a complete tool. End of.

by bhb001 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:33 pm

Granted. Fury is a complete tool. But keeps winning!! I expect him to come a cropper against the first decent in shape heavy weight he comes up against, but they are few and far between at the moment, so this train has a few more stops to ride yet.!!

by mobilemaster8 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:35 pm

I think it stops over the next couple of stations.

If not pulev, then Wlad by a brutal KO within 3 rounds.

Any later I'd be surprised.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:42 pm

Ghosty I don't think so. I reckon he took him lightly. He wouldn't against a bigger guy. But he's news in USA now. Watch the $$$ come rolling in.

by jimdig Sat 20 Apr 2013, 11:47 pm

fat chorizo up next.
