Boxing Thread

[Feckitt]

The RTÉ sports department are continuing with it's long standing policy of pretending Northern proboxers dont exist.  Not a word on IBF World champion Anthony Cacace beating Josh Warrington.

WTF are Saudis doing to boxing?

[gallsman]

This is absolutely ludicrous. What should be a spectacular fight being held up for all this nonsense. All the Saudis pretending they know who these three are, or that they're allowed listen to them.

That said, Turki is ensuring fights get made that otherwise wouldn't.

[ONeill]

It's like Rocky 4 on speed.

Hard to call this. Beterbiev's age bound to catch up on him soon.

Yup, but thought that would maybe the case against Smith as well and he showed how much he still has.

Brilliant. Big fights constantly and all at a decent time.

[gallsman]

Terrific fight so far.

[ONeill]

So tight. Bivol hasn't dropped concentration.

[gallsman]

Think TNT are over egging Beterbiev a bit here here. Thought the 9th was pretty clearly Bivol and Dempsey saying all the scoring punches coming from beterbiev.

[gallsman]

Pace has really caught up with Bivol the last couple of rounds.

Hard to call this. Beterbiev's age bound to catch up on him soon.

And Ramzan Kadyrov getting his place on the world stage. Good fights is only part of it.

Touch of the Khabibs about Beterbiev

What's Eddie Hearn on?

[bennydorano]

You could beat thon boy with a post and he wouldn't go down.
