However I can see them trying to engineer that fight, but with the Saudi's paying up for the big fights, unless it's Crawford vs Boots the next biggest fight in the 47/54 divisions is Boots/Ortiz and I can see the Saudi's paying for it. Let’s hope so going to make a bowl of kedgeree and watch the Boots fight to kick the day off Edited July 14 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As boxing fans we get a great fight, Saudi's get another sport washing event and Oscar can continue to support Columbia's balance of payment deficit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we can get the politics sorted, who do you fancy ? one thing for sure I don’t think it goes the distance Probably Ortiz, maybe, one of those although I may review my decision in an hour or so Edited July 14 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortiz has been at 154 for his last couple of fights, but before that he had to pull out of a few fights at 147 due to medical reasons and not being able to make weight. His couple of fights at 154 haven't been anywhere near championship standard and I wonder whether that will impact him if he were to go in with a legit contender and world champion.

sheepyvillian Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The size of Boots Ennis to his opponent. Honestly, these weight bullies will be the ruin of boxing. They should never have changed the weigh - in time. It was much safer for all when it was the same day as the fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was some trip in a "Sweatbox". Edited July 14 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Just got back from a really good night of boxing from Resorts World. English, British and Commonwealth title fights and an interim world title fight. Would have been even better if a few of the other fights scheduled hadn't fallen through. That's what fight nights should be, not prospect after prospect fighting bin men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 My lad insisted we get up early and watch the Jake Paul fight, proper 2/10 for quality. Mike Perry (stand in for Tyson) was useless. A bare knuckle fighter by trade apparently. From the first second of the first round hand he had absolutely no defence. Arms by his side. Legs straight. Walked onto punch after punch. Was knocked down in the first, second and 5th rounds. Jake Paul clearly is crap and has a knack of finding people worse to fight him. Now back to bed.

Avfc96 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The Saudi's have announced 'partnerships' with Top Rank and Golden Boy. Queensberry, Top Rank, Golden Boy and Matchroom all now have partnerships with them. One step closer to a 'global fight league'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point Eubank Jr just stopped being a fighter, he's now someone who enjoys the trapping of boxing but doesn't actually box. A shame really, he's naturally incredibly gifted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame really, he's naturally incredibly gifted. It was always going to be difficult being the son of such a great, British fighter. He's a nice kid, who has provided some entertainment, but it seems the hunger is no longer there. You can't knock his business acumen, he's set for life. His pay per view figures, in this Country, were always impressive. It's a shame how the relationship between Chris and Snr has deteriorated, and then you factor in the loss of the younger brother. Those things are difficult for any individual but even more so for one living in the limelight. I've always had a soft spot for Jnr. I'll take him over Billy Joe Saunders every day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisora was done 8 years ago, when he lost to Pulev which meant his record was 25-6. But Hearn and Warren will keep wheeling him out as he acts like a prat during press conferences. Can almost guarantee he's suffering from a severe medical condition by the time he's 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
