kahn steppin up to 147 to fight mayweather, carlsberg dnt do boxing, but if they did mayweather would of hurt him big time

**Thfcgrower** · 15-07-12, 07:39 AM

So Will Haye get his fight with Vitali now or do you reckon hes running scared. Was great to see Chisora get knocked down 3 solid Hooks and it was over awesome

**Jinx91** · 15-07-12, 09:06 AM

Haye beat Chisora, a mediocre boxer who did go 12 rounds with Vitali, both Haye and Chis now have their nice retirement packages, will Haye beat Klitschko? No, I don't think so.

As for Garcia, I predicted he would win as he is a dangerous fighter with a lot of power behind his shots, as demonstrated yesterday but against the likes of Mayweather, I think he may have a chance, the difference between Khan and Mayweather is... Mayweather is a smart boxer who knows his game plan, Khan was a rouge this morning. I think Garcia would have a realistic chance against Mayweather, the power from his left hand would put any fighter down imo.

**thcprofessor** · 15-07-12, 11:27 AM

khan was taking garcia apart though...garcia got a lucky shot apart from that he was very very sloppy.

Sent using jedi mind tricks

haye will want to fight vitali, but it wont happen, viatali has a political career he wants to pursue, and will not risk his final fight with a person like haye. on paper vitali should and imo will destroy haye, but haye is a natural cruiser weight and is fast and capable of knocking people out. so imo vitali will retire, which in my opinion he deserves and has nothing more to prove.

well just got up and watched the garcica -khan fight it was over before i woke up lol

khan was out boxing him there's no doubt about that , but Garcia was taking every thing , walking through khan's Punch's , was letting khan get deep, is what he wanted and then BOOM lights out .

Garcia's camp had there game plan and it worked, khan has a GLASS jaw simple as that, he will never be 1 of the great fighter's, a very very good boxer yes, world title holder no, shame as iv liked khan from his early day's . but its no secret he can not take a punch.

game over for khan imho , he will still attract crowds as we know he can box, but it will be same old same old, work his way up fighting nobody's , then come up against a real camp and again will get knocked out.

**Thfcgrower** · 15-07-12, 01:03 PM

Khan has always had a glass jaw!. Good fighter quick and strong but he is to easy to put down!!

**gorillagrower** · 15-07-12, 04:49 PM

khan and garcia wasnt a bad watch shame he lost imo just a shame he cant take a punch you cant teach that, if it wernt for that he would defo be a one of the greats, unlucky mate.

haye and chisora-those lazy basterds got paid all that money for hugging in the ring and giving each other the odd slap fuck sake call that a fight

fucking fix if you ask me, its fighters like those that piss me off, no fucking class.

appoliges for the f in and blinding,

**Trigger** · 15-07-12, 04:51 PM

heavy weight division is pants, the next big thing in british boxing is eubank junior, the guy is a chip off the old block , just wait and see

**gorillagrower** · 15-07-12, 04:59 PM

yes mr trigger got my eye on that one, if he can hold it together, he's got a lot to prove, what wiv his dad.... defo watching that space

**Trigger** · 15-07-12, 05:07 PM

i think he,ll be better than his dad to be honest, i love his style of fighting, he,s gung ho but with a good defence, they are talking very highly of him over in the states where he,s been training

**Mr Swilly** · 15-07-12, 07:12 PM

Looks like a good watch on bbc4 at ten tonight.
A film about Irish travellers and bare knuckle fights.
The film is a documentary called knuckle.
Looks like a right laugh.

seen that about 1 yr ago, nothing new really .

**scotsman** · 16-07-12, 06:07 AM

Khans always had a glass jaw lets be honest but Freddie Roach guided him
to world champion but that was then but hats off to Khan he gave it his best
and wanted to go on.
Hayes fight...hate the fukin 2 of them actually but it was a good fight had
me on the edge, that boxnations worth the 10 a month.

He's a good prospect but imo the best up and comer is Billy Joe Saunders, a traveller from Hatfield who's more complete a fighter than some professionals. Stylish, powerful, good chin anf very shrewd.

Jimmy Quinn is one nice fella, I liked him a lot. I thought it was funny when they said "Jimmy, you big, badly bastard" and challengef him yet he tans all their men.

Watched that before and its ace, Joe Joyce has a nephew who's mustard in the ring anf one to watch.

Good fights on YouTube which Knuckle missed.

Oh and the call out videos are class, proper fold up when the VHS vids are shown.

yeah i agree about his nephew. Watched him fight many times. That knuckle documentary is prehistoric and rather boring.
What are peoples opinions on Kid Galahad? I personally think that he will do very well. So fast and accurate.
I think eubanks boy is quite easy to predict for pre fight training, youve only got to watch his dad fighting over the years.

**Trigger** · 16-07-12, 02:32 PM

some ok bare knuckle fights on youtube, kimbo etc and some gypsy fights

Gallahad is a good fighter but he doesn't 'dig' enough to deter too fighters. He also shares division with Quigg, Munroe and Frampton domestically so he has his work cut out to be honest. A very good prospect mind.

Whilst Munroe heals from that terrible gash I'd like to see him v Quigg as Frampton is likely to fight Kiki Martinez for European belt soon.

kahn is a chump,garcia never had half of his power or speed,i mean come on guys watch the punch again it was futile compaired to the bombs kahn hit garcia with in the first 2 rounds,theres at least one brit in that division that would beat the yank...shocking performance amir,and no where left to go from here, as he would lose the domestic fights he would need to have to become a contender again.....as for haye it was ok,and thats enough said about that !!!!!!!!!

Losing to a KO artist who's never been beaten isn't a bad thing and imo Khan beats everyone domestically. McCloskey was Euro champion and Khan schooled him. Other than that there isn't a great deal around.

Khan beats Brook too imo. That's WW which is next division up from Khan.

Khan just needs a long break and meanwhile learn to defend better and learn how to fight when hurt I.e run, clinch and spoil. Instead he stood there trading whilst his equilibrium had gone which allowed Garcia to sit on his punches and unload.

He won the first 2 rounds and his loss against Peterson was controversial and Peterson failed a steroid test. The lad isn't a great but hes certainly no chump.
