HK85 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Great fight from 4th onwards. Spence is different class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Fair play to Errol Spence Jr, proved he was the better fighter but Kel Brook fought well, not that that means much from me considering he's just fought potentially one of the best welterweights going Think the only issue with Broom is another loss and he's probably loss some revenue off of the Amir Khan fight.

HK85 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 You'll have plenty of chances to go to more events like that. Hearn will be lashing out average cards any football ground he can soon enough after the success of the last two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah In fairness it didn't look as bad his eye looked open and I didn't doubt he had hurt it but i thought he'd took an easy route out. It's since been revealed he's broken the eye socket same as against GGG but opposite eye so I have no problem with Kell taking a knee. Long term that may be it for him, both those eyes are suspect now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Makes you wonder where he can go from here now, beaten at Middleweight, beaten at Welterweight, lost leverage on the Khan fight now surely, who'd pay for Wembley now? Surely must be an Arena fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's a difficult one for Brook. It would be difficult for him to win a title if he moves up I think. I agree that the Khan fight doesn't have as much pull as it would have before Brook's two defeats. It depends how both of them come back from their defeats I suppose. Certainly not doing Wembley at the moment though like you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched the last 2 fights, was worth it just for those 2 its cool to hate him it seems. Him and Sky have made British boxing great again.

Him and Sky have made British boxing great again. No one has mentioned hate. I have no problem with him making the money he does but the regularity of Matchroom events inevitably mean cards are watered down. Space them out a bit and they'd be very good and you'd have probably watched more than the 2 you did on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see the others and checked the results etc but I mean I made sure I was in my seat for the last 2. The others I knew were mainly just new pro's gaining experience. There is a lot of events yes, but you can't stick all the PPV potential headliners on the same card. Eddie and Matchroom are doing an amazing job in my opinion. It's a good problem for him to have..

No doubt it's a good problem, he's making a fucking fortune from it and most shows sell well because he's a good promoter of average cards. That last Birmingham one was shite. Yafai's, Egginton and Frankie Gavin It takes a proper boxing purist to get excited for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Ward v Kovalev 2 this weekend. Think I had Kovalev by a round in the first one but it was close either way. Expect a similar close fight again but think Ward might take it a little more convincingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK85 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just seen Haye has been fined for his conduct in the build up to the fight with Bellew. He did go a bit too far with some of the things he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yafai's younger brothers are going to be in the world championships picture down the line. Frankie is a cunt, falling behind because he spends far to much time partying. They get decent enough crowds at the NIA and they're growing their reputations all the time. On 29/05/2017 at 7:08 PM, JOSHBRFC said: Boxing fans from Birmingham will have no doubt been excited. Boxing is doing well in the city at the minute there's lots of gyms open and packed out. Mma also does well here, there's easily 30+ white collar / mma events per weekend across the city now.

HK85 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Paul Smith fight was very one sided. Probably the end of him now. Would have liked him to win it before going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The last punch before Weeks stepped in was a definite low blow but it seemed to me like Kovalev wanted out anyway. Bad stoppage but I think Ward was settling right in and would have stopped him anyway. The lack of protest from Kovalev said it all, he had nothing left. He half heartedly complained in the post fight interview but his reaction told everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
