  1. To draw three on the bounce is no use to us either at the min although it probably would be to him. We need wins and quickly. The dice might not be rolling yet but the cup containing them should be mid shake !
  2. We are going to struggle Rhodes or no Rhodes, he'll get his share of goals but there won't be many from anywhere else. We create nothing and struggled too last season but with our two strikers they often only needed half a sniff or a long punt. Take away JR two chances on Sat there was nothing really until the Big K came on and his where just pot shots. The question is not only who's going to score but also just who's going to create good chances ? A lot of Conways good work was tailored to Rudy. The way we came out in the 2nd half on Sat after their farce of a second spoke volumes about what's to come imo. Heads down, no urgency, looked a beaten team
  3. First time I've seen White in action and he looked quite handy in the minute or so of action..... About time AJ fought someone under 35 who can bang back a bit. Potential cracker, someone's 0 has to go
  4. I try and watch a good bit of Boxnation, a bit annoying at times but at least they sometimes give others a look in. The way Sky go all over some fighters is shameful. Groves was one before he got flattened. A good fighter but never elite level although he's likely to win a title by luck of having a very limited opponent next.
  5. To be honest I've never rated Rose and he's done well to get some of the fights he has. No power but looks ok when he keeps behind his jab. Just another who's a good domestic/euro level fighter in reality. Good old Eddie Hearn lol
  6. Good fight that as was the one before. Not far out with your predictions, hellish body shots. Campbell's always had the skills but I wasn't sure if he could mix it up but he proved he can tonight. He looks like a kid but he didn't mind the ruff stuff at all. Massive credit to Coyle tough tough lad. Rose did well to get through that with his hooter bust up, seems he going for the Froch look lol although I've no room to talk on that one ! Nearly messed up at the end and you wonder sometimes why these lads even have corner men when they completely ignore them.
  7. He was trying to shut his own big mouth cause it has a mind of it's own.
  8. He's never been cracked on the jaw by a real top class heavyweight so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts. I put no stock in the Chisora fight as Delboy fought like a bum. He's capable of far better than that although credit to Fury for the way he busted him up but that was probably his easiest fight.
  9. Briggs v Fury would be an interesting fight build up
  10. Apparently he asked people to send him one liners on twitter and he'd use the best in the press conference. He chose 'this klit is getting licked' what a complete cretin he is.
  11. Anyone can run their mouth off outside a ring and there's plenty who do. Take a look at Shannon Briggs, absolute nutter. Fury is a comedy act he's done nothing of note in the ring yet. You can respect 'character' when it's backed up by deeds. I do think he has a chance with his awkward style and maybe Wlad is starting to go backwards. If he brings his A game though it could be over quickly. Fury doesn't seem the most mentally together person and when it comes to the night and he realises what he's faced with in the ring and the hostile crowd I reckon he could fall apart.
  12. Tickets being sorted for Klitschko v Fury tomorrow. It's ridiculous to want a foreigner to smash a UK fighter but please Wlad shut this overated tomato can up in good style.
  13. Price has to pack in now he isn't any better than a domestic level fighter really and nowhere near the best of them. If Crolla was a Yank fighting in his own country he'd have won that by unanimous decision. Absolute joke but there has now been something mentioned by Sky reporter that two judges had it a draw and the other had Crolla winning but there was a er.... mix up. About time boxing had someone watching over the judges and refs !!!!
  14. He's made the right choice he's a smart fella Froch. If the fires gone out it's gone out and I think he drained every last drop out of himself to prepare for Groves 2. He'd have to drain even more for someone like GGG and if that ended badly all the good work v Groves is forgotten. Plus he's 38 and he doesn't fight like Hopkins so there's a shelf life to come forward all action fighters like him. Not everyone's cup of tea out of the ring but in it a true warrior, great champ and credit to his sport. Plus seeing that twit Groves cobra'd was enough for me.
  15. I agree with what you're saying about Klitschko he's had it a bit easy for too long. Go back to when there was still a few credible yank heavyweights about and he was struggling. Kind of admire them though for what they've achieved so wouldn't mind seeing one live and I'd just love to see Fury flattened. Only trouble with their fights over there is they never have a good undercard and they turn them into a eurotrash rock concert so maybe i'll think twice
  16. Fury is a pilchard of the highest order who's been decked twice by blown up cruiserweights. If Klitschko connects he'll be gone. Strangely though I think the big gangly goon has a chance just because of his sheer size and awkwardness. Wlad's getting some miles on the clock now and he has been known to have his off nights but if he stays disciplined he should get the job done. Going to try and get to this and it's fair to say we won't be cheering the underdog sadly.
  17. Poor form from Smith with the weight thing, don't know what he was thinking. Putting extra muscle on hoping to bang him out fair enough but bulking up the gut won't do it. Maybe something stopped him training full pelt but he's gone ahead anyway for the money (minus 20%). Did well first fight v an ageing Abraham but in reality is nothing more than a decent domestic fighter.
  18. That's the farce of catchweight contests, with all the weight limits an rules and regs these days they shouldn't be allowed at top level. On paper it's an easy night for Ward and a good earner all round for all the hangers on because it's an English name v a top USA name but with low risk. Too many fights these days getting made just for the all round earning potential and not the belts or best v best at their natural weights.
  19. The cycling phenomenon at the min on the roads is becoming a bit of a bug bear for many people. A keen cyclist myself although more the mountain bike variety at the min I seem to be scratching my head daily at some of these on the road. For every good 5 there is one or two complete knobs and most seem to operate the same as they do when in a car i.e I'm in my own bubble oblivious to anyone else and I'm untouchable. Stupid attitude as if your on a bike and you argue with a motor vehicle you lose !
  20. Respect to Cotto a proper warrior. Love watching this guy, thought he was finished not long ago but he's obviously still a top fighter.
  21. Yeah I was surprised to see that, was a big day for them yesterday with the cup final then the boxing.
  22. Physically he looked a good bit bigger than Mitchell so he must boil himself down to that weight but he still seemed the stronger of the two.
  23. Enjoyed that bill tonight. The last one Hearn put together was a bit poor so tonights match ups were worth watching although I agree on Gavin. Maybe he thought he could shake Brook up a bit like Groves did to Froch in the first fight, Brook probably had harder spars though.
  24. Love to see AJ flatten that knob Fury. Think it'll be Price or Chisora next though.
  25. I'd never bet against the Cobra, he's had a few schoolings because of his take a punch to land one style but he gets through them. GGG could be a different matter though and it's a massive risk, not sure how much heart is left in Froch now he seems happy semi retired. Always a slow starter and there's no second chances against Golovkin.
