Boxing Discussion thread *spoilers* (part 2)

I'm not sure which channel shows most of the boxing, but I've certainly watched bouts on both Sky Sports 1 and 2. It could be worth seeing if they do a deal for a "Sports Package"? Hopefully you can then have the best of both worlds.

macklin robbed in germany tonight,got to say i half expected it

Yeah, like I said I was hoping he'd get the KO as it was never going to work going to points

Johnny P

Definitely.

It's harsh, but the majority of the time you need to win by stoppage or KO to win on foreign soil. Leaving it to the judges is a lottery!

I agree, I watched the fight, thought it was one of the best I've watched for a long time. How he didn't win that fight I will never understand.

When David Haye finally gets his big fight, why does he have time to film a jolly for television?

Johnny P

He's certainly cashing in! He's released an iPhone game and this new programme of his just in time for the fight. I've got no idea when the programme was filmed, but I've got now doubt the scheduling is no coincidence!

scanz

Believe it was filmed over the past year.

I found this intersting, if you have a spare 35mins have a listen.

Floyd Mayweather.

Skating around fighting Manny Pacquiao, he must be praying Pacquiao starts to slow down so that he can consider the fight, otherwise his legacy is going to always have one massive question mark with most people.

Personally I've never been that keen on Mayweather, won't deny his talent, he's the master of his style, but I really don't like boxers that don't take risks and I think Mayweather is a perfect example of this.

Seems strange how he tries to make out that it's Pacquiao that needs him, but if he wants to cement his legacy I think they both need each other equally. Iif he could beat the Pac then fair play, don't think anyone would be asking more of his career, and even if he lost the best boxers careers aren't tarnished by losing to the greats, but there's nothing worst than a classic fight in the making never happening due to it being too risky to lose the "undefeated".

Just my opinion.
