Site Supporter Winchester White Posted August 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2017 Remember Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins? Superb figuts. Not so for Watson though Boxing these days is poor in comparison. I really can't get into UFC though, hitting folk when they are down is just not cricket.

gonzo Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 I agree to a point. A great boxing match is a splendid thing to watch, sadly though more often than not they can be turgid. At least with cage wrestling, there is always something happening, and it's all "blood and thunder" instead of blokes just cuddling each other, as a lot of boxing matches seem to turn into Any UFC fight I see always ends up with both blokes cuddled up on the floor like a pair of tramps fighting over 50p. It's a sport for people that are no good at boxing but still want to fight. No technique or fitness. Leave em to it. Just don't try and invade our sport again.

If I knew how to give a plus one on a mobile, you would be getting one for this post The fight itself was received all a bit meh in Tampa with very few places actually showing it Edited August 27, 2017 by SalfordOriginal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted August 27, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2017 I've just watched the fight, Mcgregor did miles better than I expected, fair play, looked like he was going to win after 6 rounds. Really good and honest interview after. Let's leave it there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he was going to win after 6 rounds? I thought he looked fucked after 3, and it was only going one way from then on Still, its all about opinions I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Was the 6th not the round where he came out swinging against only to be blowing out of his arse and looking at the clock after 90 seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted August 28, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2017 Take away the hype, the fight in itself was bang average. McGregor lands a number of punches but I think Mayweather barely noticed, the mma lot aren't on the same level power-wise it seems. He just let the pikey punch himself out.

DaveTheRave Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 the mma lot aren't on the same level power-wise it seems McGregor isn't really classed as a big puncher. I saw some Sports Science thing ages ago where they measured the power of a boxer and mma fighter. The mma fighters punch was harder.

Clarence Carter Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Glad the circus is over. The world super series starts in two weeks, the cruiserweights promises some great match ups. Not forgetting Canelo v Golovkin as well, a genuine fight to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted August 28, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2017 conor would murder him khan is finished He wouldn't beat any of the top 5 in the 147-154 weights. He did better than I thought he would against Mayweather, but still lacked the stamina to beat a previously retired 40 year old. I don't think he'd last 2 rounds against Khan.

Underpants Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So the retired boxer beat the brawler. If you paid for it you're dick that was dragged in by all the hype. A fool and his money are easily parted. I agree with Gonzo; fuck off back to your octagon with your tail between your legs and don't dirty our ring again.

stevieb Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I don't think he'd last 2 rounds against Khan. He wouldn't need to if he landed that uppercut he got on mayweather in round 2. Glass jaw Khan would be out cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
