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.

Harrison out on his feet then. How did he see the bell?! Like khan vs maidana!

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:25 pm

I'm watching Scotty Cardle, who won with Harrison?

Cardle is bossing it.

by Group Cpt Lionel Mandrake Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:26 pm

Walsh. Harrison started well but faded. Hopefully that's the end of him

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:26 pm

Walsh. Took over after the 4th round and nearly stopped Harrison in the 9th.

Anyone know if the ring announcer used to be in Grange Hill?

Sure I know him from somewhere...

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:27 pm

How very sad to see someone who once had the World at his feet struggle with a no-mark like Walsh...

Mark Burdis, apparently used to be Stewpot on grange hill.

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:31 pm

Stewpot, that's him. Mates with Ziggy the Scouser. Showing my age again...

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:40 pm

Who is fighting on Boxnation now?

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:45 pm

Mitchell Smith, won his 6th pro fight by stopping Gavin Reid.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:56 pm

Like the look of Paul Butler, from up the road from where I live as well. The guy he's fighting has never fought outside of Africa, however since getting stopped on his debut has collected a decent record.

Just took another quick look at his record and he lost his second fight as well, his second fight was a Commonwealth title eliminator.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:58 pm

Scotty Cardle looked ace. Got cut but both meant fought hard, great fight. Cardle UD.

30 mins until Fury, whose watching?

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 8:58 pm

Going to have it on the iPad.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:01 pm

Now that's hard work and dedication Hampo, now that's hard work.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:01 pm

Multi-tasking and drinking don't usually go hand in hand do they Laugh

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:03 pm

Kareem looks wild, Butler is a special talent with great skill. This will be over inside 6.

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:05 pm

I'm recording Furious T, will be watching it tomorrow so no spoilers please lads.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:07 pm

Bit difficult on here Union. Maybe log off for the evening? This is the fight thread, lol.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:12 pm

Great shot from Cunningham, Furys rocked OMG!

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:12 pm

YOU GUYS WATCHING THIS.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:15 pm

Fury survives I got him 2 rounds up going into the 5th.

by **hampo17** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:15 pm

Great win for Butler! On to bigger and better things now.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

I've got tyson on one channel and selby on the other. can someone please keep me updated on the boxnation fights? mental boxing night!

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:23 pm

Selby looming very sharp

Don't think he needs to load up as much as he does, but you can see how much weight he puts into every shot and its impressive and he does have alot of power

by **Union Cane** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:26 pm

Ok I'm logging off, enjoy the fights chaps.

by sparxz Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:27 pm

Selby had McConnell down in the 3rd with a nice body shot. Easy nights work this for the lad.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:29 pm

looks real good does lee selby.

by sparxz Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:32 pm

Everything he throws looks solid, so much to like about lee selby, future world level fighter.
Down again in the 5th another body shot

This Aussie has heart but good decision by his corner.

Towel in, in the 5th

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:37 pm

what's popping on boxnation?

sh** I'm dizzy on boxing, lol.

by **Seanusarrilius** Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:46 pm

Selby looked great. Just about to watch Fury on NBC!

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:48 pm

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:49 pm

Fury will look world class.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:49 pm

Callum Smith dusted his guy in one!

Fury next!

He better do against an average former cruiserweight with no real punching power.

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:52 pm

Callum will be a bonafide world champion. He oozes quality. Has dynamite in his fists.

Its a great opponent. Not some fat 41 year old.

by Imperial Ghosty Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:55 pm

Bullsh!t, he's an average 36 year old cruiserweight, at least fight a natural heavyweight.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 9:56 pm

Great fights tonight. Some yanks shouting U.S.A!

Did Hughie Fury win???

Cunningham has speed to burn. So it's a great test for fury. How will he deal with Adamek or Haye both of whom are former cruisers.

Hughie won apparently.

by Imperial Ghosty Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:00 pm

Adamek and Haye were both world class cruiserweights who have gone on to show they can compete at heavyweight, Cunningham is neither world class or proven at the weight.

by WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:02 pm

Hughie stopped his opponent in the first dropping him 3 times apparently

by rycoys Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:02 pm

fury will look his usual self, slow and predictable!But he will win, i really hope he gets beaten tho!

by azania Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:03 pm

Fury is wide open to get slapped.

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:04 pm

FURY is a maniac in there!!!! haha!

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:05 pm

by davidemore Sat 20 Apr 2013, 10:05 pm
