[Other Sport] Boxing Tonight

[Half Time Pies]

wewww, great shot.

Though Whyte's hopes of getting to Wilder/AJ/Fury must be well off by now.

Such a shame as he's been absolutely dicked by the WBC for years now, and surely his chance is now over.

Yes you have to feel sorry for him waiting that long for his mandatory shot and then to lose it all like that.

Yeah big time. And fair play to him, he's consistently taken risks and had good opponents whilst waiting for his shot.
Hopefully Eddie does him a favour and fast-tracks him back up the ranks for a title shot, eventually. He's waited long enough and deserves it.

 

[StonehamPark]

Ah, rematch clause.
They'll do everything in their power to get Dillian that belt back.

It was almost like a Rocky movie, one guy outclassed down twice, then lands a miracle punch to win the fight.
As for the women bout, not comfortable looking at both girls being badly marked up.

I wouldn't say Povetkin was being outclassed. Until his 2 flash knockdowns, there wasn't much between them, though I did think it was over for Povetkin after the 2nd KD but that was all in one round.
How Povetkin won was exactly how some people (not including myself) predicted the fight would turn out. A counter punch knocking him out.

Never seen anything like that. Povetklin totally outclassed, down twice but knocks Whyte spark out with one shot!

Awful for what happened next, but tonight was nothing compared to this.........

 

[Albion Dan]

My oh my....bent over and dropped back...remarkable, how?

Don't feel sorry for him. He had the chance to fight AJ for the world titles for several million pounds last year but declined with Andy Ruiz stepping in. Dillian is a hype job. Chisora best him and got robbed Parker dropped him badly, Rivas dropped him badly, and AJ sparked him.

A Fury White mandatory would have been pointless and just delayed the AJ fight longer helping Eddie and AJ run for a little bit longer.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What a punch by Povetkin! That's why everyone loves heavy weight boxing.

Feel for White but once Fury embarrasses Wilder again we can get on with AJ Fury and maybe White Wilder?

Good job the judges understand boxing then. Taylor a clear winner with all 3 of them.

Reading that (I've not seen last night's fight for direct comparison), makes me think of Herol Graham vs. Julian Jackson - Graham was in control, Jackson couldn't get near him and his eye was almost swollen shut.

Jackson's corner told him he had one more round or they would pull him out because of his eye, so Graham only had to stand up for 3mins to win the world title:

Any of you older chaps remember John Tate battering Mike Weaver for 15 rounds

Then got sparked out right at the death

Classic heavyweight fight

Unbelievable watching it as if it was live

Back then you had no idea of the result unless you heard it on the radio

Never forgotten that bout
