Look at that snapshot...

Absolutely wide open.

Any boxer worth their salt would spark him out right there.

And why don't they force the bloody mess to get cleaned up?

Panto.

They probably sneak in broken up disposable razors to nick themselves in the clinches.

How anyone can prefer that garbage over the sweet science is a mystery.

1 belt per division helps with that 

And the best fight the best 

They don't get fed coke cans who they're 1/500 on to beat

Aye, no dirty scoring, no fight dodging. You want to get paid you have to work your way up 

Not much of a fan of it but Khabib beating that gimp McGregor was piss funny.

Is Jon Jones still fighting?

He is. Very infrequent

He's got plenty demons, always in trouble with the law

Was starting to think he had Cte or some shit the amount bother he gets himself into.

You could apply the politics and organisational differences to owt, to Crown Green Bowls, to Kabbadi...

It's the end product that's shite.

I couldn't give a toss how clean it is when what lies at the end of of the rainbow is a crock of turds.

Besides which I've always been deeply suspicious of folk into Martial Arts - met lots of oddbods down the years into them, and known lots of oddbods who've got into them.

I wonder if the Boxing bods regret turning a blind eye to all the scheming and corruption that went on in the sport for so long?

I rewatched the Mike Tyson Buster Douglas fight this weekend.  It's easy to forget what a monumental upset that was.  What I didn't know was, at the time of the knockout 2 of the 3 judges had Tyson ahead, or level on points, which was as ludicrous as Don King and the WBC trying to overturn the final result.

There is no one more corrupt in boxing than Don King. The man is a crook and a thief. 
Stole from Larry Homes, Tim Witherspoon, stole £20m off Tyson. Was friends with Jon Gotti, there’s a fight in the 90s and Don is sat with Jon Gotti and one of Jons men is badgering the judge and no one is doing anything.

If a boxer wanted to fight one of Don Kings boxers you had to sign a deal with his company that if you won you would become one of Dons Boxers. 

Aye King is the worst of the lot but Suleiman, Arum, Trump (there's a surprise!) and all the various bodies were barely any better.  The sport was crying out for an independent governing body but was too riddled with corruption.

Ladies and Gentlemen tomorrow the best boxer on the planet Saul Canelo Alvarez is going to put on an absolute clinic (probably jinxed him😂) 

Canelo v Plant

 

In case you need reminding

 

Scott Fitzgerald. 

Looks like he's a homeless crack head at the moment. 

Sorry to see. Eddie hearn calling out his "mates" as enablers

He said he just had a bit of a mad one. Looks like he’s method acting for trainspotting

Nathan Heaney, just watched him. He’s 32 and looks to me like another Brian Rose.

Ripped but not going to cut it above domestic level. 

Roid head is ruthless. Plant did well just lacking power.

Not just me that can't get past "tainted meat" then 

If someone said Canelo was the greatest of all time you’d have a tough time arguing it

Oh and he was punished for having Clenbuterol in his system. The amount was so minuscule there’s no way it would have enhanced performance and is consistent with the theory it was ingested via meat. 
WADA recognise Clenbuterol now and the amount they found he had in his system if they found that now he wouldn’t have been banned.

You could say the same for Mayweather & it's probably me being nostalgic but I wouldn't say either of them, great boxers though they are.

Mayweather greatest defensive boxer definitely. 
Canelo is the only one apart from Pacquiao in his prime who I genuinely believe could beat him. 
Canelo fought him too early, Manny too late

Fucking hell, an old mate of mine who loves his boxing could have written that. He also loves Mike Tyson. He has bored me senseless with boxing stats since we were kids.

Love Canelo 

Fights frequent to which I respect 

Think GGG beat him first time round mind
