Fucking cocktease!!!

Cheers

bellew walking in.

this shouldn't last long.

tony bellew stuns the hayemaker.

with the help of a jippy leg.

fair play to haye for staying in as long as he did. still think hes a cock though and glad bellew won. wasnt a big fan of the love in between them at the end.

What Jp said

Fuck I enjoyed that.

& Cheers again stocky for sorting me out.

Enjoyed watching the fight at the time because the unexpected happened but looking back it, it was truly pathetic.

Horrible under card of mismatches and the main event was a fight between a fat dad and a one legged body builder who hasn't fought a decent opponent in 5 years.

To see the love in afterwards just goes to how fake the whole pre-fight WWF stuff is. It's a disgrace and the casuals falling for it time and time again are just feeding the fire.

That a boxer as bad as Tony Bellew is now an in demand heavyweight contender is an absolute disgrace / piece of genius match making by Eddie Hearn.

Anyone who paid £16.95 to support that joke of an event should hang their heads in shame















fake edit - *hangs head in shame*

I can't argue with any of that (tho didn't watch the under card), it was hardly a display for the purists. But just as a ridiculous spectacle it was great entertainment

Stocky, who would you say the must see fighters are right now? Completely out of the loop these days.

For those who like elite skill but with some bang the following are must see...

Roman Gonzalez - undefeated 4 weight world champion from Nicaragua, pretty much the best boxer in the world right now. His record is like 46-0. The guy is only 5 foot 3" as well   started off at straw weight (the lowest weight division) and has now moved up 4 weight divisions to super flyweight where he fights much bigger guys and still wins (although his last fight was his toughest yet as I think super flyweight will be his upper limit)

Anthony Joshua - Obvious one but the man is a god. He has ridiculous power and an unblemished 100% KO record. He's been lucky/well matched with his career so far but he's in with a test in April against Klitshko. 

GGG - The most exciting boxer in the world, 36-0 record with 33 KOs. Combines absolute top skill with brute power. All the other middleweights are terrified of him. 

Sergey Kovalev - Interesting character and an underrated boxer in the skills department. Recently lost to Andre Ward in a tight technical battle but the rematch is currently being negotiated. He trades on the whole Russian asshole racist card and is nicknamed the Krusher. Once killed a man in the ring and expressed no remorse whatsoever, contary to what the press report 95% of boxers seem like very nice people. Kovalev seems like a different kettle of fish, someone who revels in hurting his opponents. 

Keith Thurman - Really like this guy as he's a really weird intense character. He's an undefeated welterweight and he's easily the best welterweight who's not Pac. Very fast boxer with good technical skills, on saturday he unified two of the welterweight titles by beating Danny Garcia. The future looks in good hands with him.

Naoya Inoue - 23 year old Japanese kid who's already a 2 weight world champion. One to keep an eye on, although he's another in the lower weight divisions (same weight division as Roman Gonzalez) so you have to make do with downloading torrents of japanese tv broadcasts to get your fix of him. Hopefully HBO take him to America soon.


Upcoming fights which you shouldn't miss...


March 18th - GGG vs Daniel Jacobs, Roman Gonzalez vs Wisaksil Wangek - this one is a double header on the same HBO card so well worth a download on sunday morning after the fight. Or stay up late on saturday night and catch it live on boxnation.

March 25th - Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares - brilliant fight this one, Crolla is a Manchester legend and Linares is a superb boxer and it's on in Manchester (i'm going) so you won't have to stay up late for it.

April 8th - Vasyl Lomachenko vs Jason Sosa - should have included Lomachenko in my list above. The guy has one of the greatest amateur records of all time (396 wins and 1 loss). Turned pro a couple of years ago and is already a 2 weight world champiopn and one of the best 5 boxers in the world. 

April 29th - Anthony Joshua vs Wladamir Klitshko - at fucking wembley, 90,000 people. It's a a must see event.

Fuck, This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Stocks, I haven't witnessed such hospitality since me & Balldog stayed at the Stocky residence.

Will be giving these fights a go.

sorry to hear this bruv, i was thinking christina had provided you decent hospitality during your emergency stay at mine a few years ago. will smash her about a bit tonight as clearly it wasn't up to stocky's high standard.

Sorry JP but "decent" doesn't cut the mustard! you've got a long way to go before reaching the 5-star treatment that the Crook household provided for me & an acne-faced balldog in 2003.

I don't recall Christina bringing out sandwiches whilst we watched bargain hunt when I stayed in Norwich, in Stockport that kind of shit comes with the service.

check out gervonta davis vs pedraza.

he's coming over to fight liam walsh next.

that walsh is a right trashy twat.

should be a laugh seeing him get fucked.

I visited this thread to moan about that shit Scouse boxer but rating forum member's hospitality is much more enjoyable

Fun fact: Rod once arrived at my flat unannounced at 2am on a school night because he was thrown off the Bluetones tour bus for being too hammered.

Hahaha punk as fuck
