Mr Harms Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I didn't expect such an entertaining, back and forth fight. Great stuff. Glad AJ went over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Time for Wilder to step up or shut up after that performance. Joshua is the new man at heavyweight. Didn't think Klitschko had a performance like that left in him after the debacle against Fury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Awesome fight, loved the big fight feel for the heavyweights. Great dramatic finish to end the epic battle. AJ is the man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wow what a comeback. Klitschko was cruising to points win but Joshua showed heart and desire when I thought he'd gassed himself out. Great fight. Haters shushed? That entrance was embarrassing as fuck though, gave me flashbacks to Apollo Creed in Rocky 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed the Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko build and listened to BBC Radio 5 Live's commentary really missing Mike Costello. Get well soon, Mike. Watched the fight today, great fight and performances by both men. Also refreshing to have a lead to a fight with both men respectful of each other with no trash talking. Be nice to see more of this in boxing and MMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 So, the moment GGG has a fight where he looks totally beatable, Canelo NOW wants the fight. How Mayweather of him. With that said, I'll take 1 year late over 5-6 years late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to the radio commentary with Mike Costello's welcome return. Sounded a very good fight. I'm not into boxing like MMA. Brook gambled moving up two weight divisions to face Triple G, loses and gets a badly broken orbital. Kell's had to weight cut back down, loses his title, and now his other eye has gone. Happy George Groves won a world title at the fourth attempt. Carl Froch controversially stoped him in his first go, got KTFO by Froch his second try and lost a split decision to Badu Jack on his third go. How did people tend to score that one?

I'm not into boxing like MMA. Brook gambled moving up two weight divisions to face Triple G, loses and gets a badly broken orbital. Kell's had to weight cut back down, loses his title, and now his other eye has gone. I don't think Kell expected Spence to be that game and determined. At first, it looked like another Kell Brook welterweight title defense. Then, Spence slowly but surely got his bearings together and kinda stifled Brook with his pressure and hand speed. I mean Brook was landing pretty good punches for the first nine rounds or so, but Spence was giving it back more and more every round and not being all that affected by Brook's output. However, once Errol's work started showing up on Kell's face around round eight it was a wrap. Brook couldn't keep Spence off of him. The last two rounds were particularly brutal. Brook was getting beat up really badly. The fact that Spence took Brook's best punches and had a mature performance makes it that much more impressive. He never really had to show this before. In some fights, he showed he was a very good boxer. In other fights, he showed he was a puncher. The Algeri fight was the closest but Algeri didn't put up any level of resistance let alone arguably or clearly win the first three rounds like Brook did. 53 minutes ago, The Natural said: Happy George Groves won a world title at the fourth attempt.

For Groves vs. Jack? I'm pretty sure I had Badou Jack winning. Groves didn't fight a bad fight, but Jack was landing the cleaner, sharper, and more powerful punches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would figure after Thurman vs Porter. Guess Spence could fight a guy like Lamont Peterson in the interim. Would be great if the eventual winner of the Welterweight sweepstakes took on Terence Crawford but dont see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since Top Rank dropped their part of the lawsuit against Haymon, Arum/TR is open to working with PBC for like a big fight here and there. However, that would be contingent on Crawford finally fighting Manny, which somehow seems less likely than Arum working with PBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Manny still has something left in the tank but Crawford would be one of those bad end of the career fights that everyone would say he shouldn't have taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
