I hope malik scott wins.

I hope Smith gets a title

I don't know anything about Mcdonnel or Solis.

I want Martin Murray to win a world title, but I don't think he can at 168.

thanks,

Agree with this, and Mcdonnel should win. Although I don't mind Hearn I'd love to see his face if Ortiz lost.

Ortiz is a good lad desu, want to see him get his title shot

Hardly a sellout

Cuban drug cheat southpaw yeah whats to hate

>le casino

Reddit venue for a reddit fighter like Ortiz

Announcer's French could be worse tbf

Why has murray had so many fights in monaco?

>you'll never be a millionaire French businessman eating dinner with your trophy wife while two gigantic apes fight in front of you

You have 10 seconds to name a boxer more likable than Murray

Protip: You can't

Crolla

Too working class for me

He can't get a visa for the US as he used to be a naughty boy so he's signed to a weird promoter

You'll be struggling to find many boxers who aren't tbf

lol this is like a pub brawl

Moses Matovu desu

Well he was signed to South African promoters Golden Gloves for a while and they did quite a few cards in Monte Carlo.

Poor little blackboy

>it's a sky commentary episode

Can't stand it, they don't need to be this biased in a match Murray will obviously win. Wish there was a no commentary option on the red button desu

Anyone planning to watch the ufc tonight?

Yes, good card.

Put a little bet on earlier

Don't derail a boxing thread with that there'll be a million threads for that

No idea how people watch UFC tßh, I couldn't regularly stay up till 5am if they have shit to do the day after. Will be staying up for Kovalev vs Ward next week but that will be the only time I've bothered all year.

No UFC is really pathetic

Where are all the Americans, Mexicans and Filipinos in this thread? Oh that's right they only care when it's them and then say boxing is dead because they miss 70% of it

Cannot wait WAIT until are kell shuts down the amerifats hottest new meme figter (spence)

He'll beat him by decision and then they can shove that hype job up their arse and cry about how UFC is better

Planning on going, should be a great fight all in all, though I worry a bit for Kell making weight again. WIll try and get tickets for the Joshua Kltschko fight too, but the new Matchroom Fight Pass system on Stubhub doesn't seem to work for me. No idea why but I may not be able to get tickets.

Does the monaco casino just pay tons of money to host these fights.

where does the money come from to pay all these purses. only 800ish people there...

>where does the money come from at the casino

I wonder

they're all millionaires

Ok well I'm saying, are tickets like $2000 a pop? Or does the casino just take a loss to host these fights?

the only people in monaco are millionaires.

Do the smith brothers have autism

I don't know, but someone in the monaco royal family always puts on yearly kickboxing events.

No their dad does; that's how you breed four world title challenging sons

Not sure how much they paid for tickets but Eddie said 900 people there were elite then there'd be 300 from England, probably a combination of ticket price and getting them in the casino

if muarry is not careful he'll get tagged.

lmao this nig

Guess we can now conclude that Groves wasn't actually any good, Murray is just shot.

This nigs heart

NIG SHOOK

he did well vs froch.

and my stream sounds like someone keeps dropping a table tennis ball for some reason.

Would still say Groves is top 5 at super middleweight. Murray not been great but not ideal for him with 2 opponents pulling out

muarry should go for the finish.

gassed and clinching; muarry has been pathetic these last few rounds.

Does Lawal think this is the 6 nations?

Adrian Borner

Why is the crowd singing christmas songs? Christmas is over a month away.

They're singing Murray wonderland not winter wonderland. It's a uk boxing/football chant thing.

Oh well it's pretty annoying.

originally Ricky Hatton

Nice fight culture you dumb cunt

Anyone got a good stream?

So hype for Kovalev Ward, though if it turns out a bust 2016 is officially the worst year in boxing since I started watching.

olympicstreams.me/boxing/luis-ortiz-vs-malik-scott-:-12-rounds-heavyweight-live-stream/1-428458/

vip box first stream is pretty good

>olympicstreams.me/boxing/luis-ortiz-vs-malik-scott-:-12-rounds-heavyweight-live-stream/1-428458/

thank u senpai

who thought having two scousers commentating was a good idea.

>that song

>mr brightside

Lomachenko

Tommy Coyle

GGG

They are about a million times better than Stephen A and Tim Bradley during the pacquaio fight.

Solis has started pretty well here

McDonnell must be the most boring boxer in matchroom's stable. Alway tea break worthy for me.

very intriguing fight..

This. Wards best weapon is his control of distance, either too far away or too close. I think Kovalev's inside game is underrated and he will slap Ward's shit when he tries to pull some funny stuff on the inside. The fight will look exactly like Kovalev-Hopkins, once Ward tastes Kov's power he will ride his bicycle all 12 rds. Kovalev by decision, probably a rematch next year.

Have you seen him fight ever? Tired of the hype surrounding this nobody. Joshua would kill him.

Friendly reminder

1. WBC
2. IBF

99. WBO

99999999999999999. WBA

>Joshua would kill him.

Won't get the chance, Haye will be his mandatory if he beats Ruiz. He won't be champion for long.

Haye will kill him then. Joshua's boxing ability is laughable, seriously don't know why he gets mention in HW discussions.

Agreed. Although I don't know whats wrong with the WBO, its about equal to the IBF imo.

Meant that Haye will be Parker's mandatory, which does then lead to possibilities of unifications with Joshua. Either way 2017 should be a much better year for the division than 2016, not that that's difficult.

Because he'd knock out 95% of the division and he'll be in a big fight before Wilder will.

shit I meant Parker lol. Multitasking atm.

Think mcdonnels nose is broke

Parker is decent, he has a good amount of speed and power but he will be schooled by David Haye who is a much more technically skilled boxer

Yeah Solis is winning this fight at the moment, been very aggressive

Abel Sanchez gives an on-point prediction of Kovalev-Ward @5:23 "He beats him easily". This will go the way of the election where all the "experts" pick one guy and the other one crushs him.

Boxing seems to be doing well in the UK. How popular is it really? Is it normal to go watch a fight with some m8s?

True

We've always had a solid domestic scene that will bring in the football crowd and it helps that we have about 14 world champions at the moment

It's absolutely massive among the working class, huge sellout arena fights are a regular thing. It's far less popular among the middle class which is why despite British boxing being in a pretty good place there's barely anyone ITT.

Shows how well Hearn has done with Joshua, his fights will get 3 or 4 threads hit bump limit. Nothing else gets anywhere near that close.

Eddie has been very clever/lucky, with Joshua he has somebody he can make the face of UK boxing and use him to build everyone else around. PBC should of been doing the same with Wilder because the heavyweight division is the division that will do best if you market it right

Bit different, Joshua was already a star from winning gold in London (something almost all Brits remember fondly) and he's amazing with the media.

Solis is winning this lads

what about compared to MMA?

Much bigger than MMA. UFC is all shown on BT Sport and is niche, Boxing can sell on PPV and fill stadiums.

Makes me wish boxing was more popular in the US. I think the biggest thing hindering its growth here is all the fuckery that goes on like there being multiple champions in the same division that avoid each other and top contenders and people being so obsessed with perfect records.

besides joshua, who is the biggest british star atm?

Not even close. MMA is only popular among teenagers/students with no real money who've seen McGregor memes on The Lad Bible and can afford to stay up to 5am to watch it. Boxing massive among almost the entire working class, a Joshua PPV is pretty much guaranteed 300k buys at this point, a Klitschko fight would probably do 600k.

Haye, Fury, Khan, Brook and Degale. In that order.

Its dead as a doorknob here. I think because white americans seem to suck at boxing. The blacks have guys like terrance crawford and errol spence jr, latinos have tons of fighters but white american guys have nothing.

Tyson Fury, David Haye, Kell Brook, Chris Eubank Jr, James DeGale, George Groves, Callum Smith, Tony Bellew, Carl Frampton

yeah this
and nick blackwell, ggg and loma

Frampton too if you count Norn Iron

When I boxed, I was almost always the only "white boy" that would be in the gym. For sure one of the only ones that sparred for real. I barely count as white (half irish half italian). White americans are just soft as shit sadly.

>The scousers have it level
