Boxing Megathread

[Mike E]

They don't jump on top of each other in boxing though

We all love some ab-to-ab bumpage

[ABBEY]

WELL DONE CHUNKY !!!!

[tomphil]

Froch and Calzaghe having a set too on twitter earlier. That's a fight I'd love to have seen. Pity Calzaghe's been out to long now.

[Gav]

Talk of a Froch v Golovkin fight later in the year at Wembley, not sure Froch needs this one having been out of the ring so long but maybe money talks.

Watch this space.

[K-Hod]

If the price is right, I reckon Froch could be tempted back in like you say. Always liked Froch as a fighter myself.

[ABBEY]

Froch won't take this unless it's for mega wonga . Only one winner and he ain't from Nottingham

[Gav]

Yes I like Froch also, lot of heart, never ducked anyone.

Golovkin looks a class act, but Froch is a tough lad, doesn't get knocked out, interesting if the fight goes ahead.

[tomphil]

I'd never bet against the Cobra, he's had a few schoolings because of his take a punch to land one style but he gets through them. GGG could be a different matter though and it's a massive risk, not sure how much heart is left in Froch now he seems happy semi retired. Always a slow starter and there's no second chances against Golovkin.

[K-Hod]

Seen a lot of talk online about Khan possibly fighting Mayweather today.

It might just be me, but I can only assume he's just up for a very well - paid pasting, as I just can't see him doing anything against Mayweather!!

[ABBEY]

Gonna have to find a link for tonight's bill

[Gav]

Think I'll buy it, doubt we'll see any shocks, seems routine for the main players but its Saturday night boxing live, few beers, bit of grub, good night in.

[ABBEY]

Can't be arsed with best part of 20 notes . Don't mind paying for the huge fights but sky can F off for me on this one they get enough off me .

[Gav]

Selby just fought the fight of his life, brilliant performance, clinical and accurate boxing.

[ABBEY]

What about cleverleys body punch too .. Selby was class

[Gav]

That body punch was terrific, you'd not have felt it with all the cushioning though Abs

Was up for Mitchell until the bubbles song.....

[ABBEY]

I wouldn't have let him hit me

[Gav]

A lot of heart Kevin Mitchell, pity he couldn't have kept it up.

[ABBEY]

Some swelling that

[ABBEY]

Bring on fury !!

[tomphil]

Love to see AJ flatten that knob Fury. Think it'll be Price or Chisora next though.

[Gav]

Can't stand Fury, wouldn't be to bad if he was half decent but he's just a big lad in a poor division.

Brook fight was terrible also, Gavin shouldn't have been in the same ring as him.

Still a good nights boxing, beats reality TV any day of the week.

[tomphil]

Enjoyed that bill tonight. The last one Hearn put together was a bit poor so tonights match ups were worth watching although I agree on Gavin. Maybe he thought he could shake Brook up a bit like Groves did to Froch in the first fight, Brook probably had harder spars though.

[ABBEY]

Glad I didn't pay.. Brook as expected. Bring on fury !

Have we finally found a real heavyweight ?!

That was pretty emphatic. Sure his talent will become clearer when he fights someone who can fight back. But credit where it's due for all Kevin Johnson is finished the likes of vitali klitschko didn't manage to knock him out.

I'd like to see him fight price, chisora then fury clean up the domestic heavyweights and perhaps a fight with deontay wilder or wladimir if still about in a few years.

I know it was only fraudly Harrison. But wilder looks a beast.
