What do you mean by 'these fights'?

Whyte has ducked every risky fight he has ever been offered.

he only ducked AJ because he wanted to be mandatory so the rematch would be on his terms

 

[WinksyBoy]

How so?

He took on Parker and won against the odds.

He beat Chisora in a closely fought contest then had a rematch when he had no real gain from it.

He was due to fight Miller.

He clearly wants the top fights. He might not be top drawer but from what I have seen your assertion that he ducks fights is completely baseless.

He ducked mandatory eliminators against both Pulev and Ortiz. Claimed to be the best HW on the planet yet then ducked a shot at Joshua for all his belts.

Bloke is full of shit.

Love to see his quote where he says he’s the best hw on the planet.

He has fought Poverkin, Parker and Joshua. He’s hardly taking easy fights.

We have to respect whyte. Eddie Hearn has stitched him up. If he was with Warren he would have got his title shot

But Eddie is too into AJ

Have a look through his IFL TV interviews, you'll find it.

Yeah I’m not going to do that. I am confident that if you provided the quotes at best you will have massively misinterpreted his words.

Yarde put in a decent performance but I felt the stoppage was a little premature. He might win a world title but I don't see him reaching the elite class.

Mcgregor saying he is going to fight Pacquiao. Other than generating money this is pointless.

What idiots would actually pay for this.

Going by the Mayweather farce I would guess a lot.

Same idiots who paid for the Mayweather fights or I think I read some random lads off YouTube also had a boxing match that people paid for?

Good to see Joshua finally get a date in. Can’t see Pulev staying in too long

 

[carmeldevil]

Big fight tomorrow - Lomachenko v Lopez. For a rare unified title bout. I don’t think it’s being broadcasted in UK due to the time (5ish in the morning) but I’m sure can watch replay on various sites after. Should be a good one.

 

[WinksyBoy]

I think Ritson Vs Vasquez is potentially going to be fight of the weekend.

Lewis Ritson v Miguel Vazquez : WBA Inter-Continental Super-Lightweight Title
Thomas Patrick Ward v Thomas Essomba : 10 rounds at Super-Bantamweight
Qais Ashfaq vs Marc Leach : 10 rounds at Super-Bantamweight
East of England Arena, Peterborough , Sky Sports Arena (18:30), Sky Sports Main Event (20:30)

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Fair play to Teofimo that is some achievement 16th pro outing and to outfight and box a fighter like Lomachenko is seriously impressive...

Arum saying there is no rematch clause would like to see Lopez Haney next

Not the sharpest tool in the box and a pin-up boy for the National Front.

Some examples of the wit and wisdom of Alan Minter ...

"Sure, there have been deaths and injuries in boxing, but none of them serious."

"A boxer makes a comeback for two reasons, either he's broke or he needs the money."

"It has taken me 17 years to become champion of the world. I'm not going to let a black man take it away from me."

I bumped into him in a hotel bar near Gatwick one Friday night. I say bumped into him he had so many minders/hangers on it was a proper crowd.
His brother Micky used to come up to Spurs with the Crawley mob nothing like his big brother.

What’s that got to do with what I said re: his ability and the fact he ran into hagler? I get your point but. Not quoting my post to make it.

I quoted your post for the sake of continuity. It's pretty standard. It would have been a total non sequitur to just start posting about Alan Minter without doing so. He's only in the news because he died, which your post brought to our attention.

Anyoen watching this? Maybe its just me but there is somethign really fucking dislikeable about Chirosa
