  1. Some good posts put up here?noticed you mentioned arm wrestling training, I saw the other day john brzenk passed away? What a machine. Admittedly I know next to nothing about arm wrestling but it does pop up in my feed quite a bit and I like watching the training videos, I find it very interesting the unique styles they have to strength and condition the forearm Back to the boxing training, yes a good coach imo is somebody who has a keen eye for where a fighters strong points is and tries to bring them on to the best they can be from those points, whilst still improving in areas wh
  2. Been some great fights on the bkfc so far they reckon, looking forward to catching up tomorrow I've seen a pic of christie and brazier, both men looked like they put each other through it
  3. Yeah they do, punchers love a grant or a reyes glove
  4. I see Joshua's picked grant gloves this time
  5. That's what it comes down to doesn't it a lot of the time the money each man stands to make I agree, so much more could have happened in his career but too much shit got in the way, he's got to look back on that later and think what ever was I doing? Snr seems to have gone missing since all this has come about, I'm sure he will appear at some stage though inevitably
  6. I haven't really had a look to be fair but I'm ready to get out, ??good luck mate, it's the prize that took the most graft and patience that means the most
  7. Yeah and in theory what a good cash out fight it is, relatively low risk for a very High pay, but if he does lose then I can't see where he can go, I know he would have got trounced but I think he should have had the golovkin fight when it was on the table for him years ago, he had plenty to say about it, and from what I remember it was nearly over the line and ready for him to take but it never came off, I'm sure a bit of digging would show an opponent more suitable for eubank but off the top of me head i can't think of one I think most people would just like to see him chase legitimate
  8. That's a decent first attempt mate ?not long then it'll be off out with it, pheasant seasons round the corner
  9. No doubt another dog owned by a complete dinlo who shouldn't be allowed to tend to a goldfish, nevermind a strong physical animal
  10. All this sort of stuff is gonna go through the roof as we roll into winter with more prices set to go up again Remand figures are at a 14year High
  11. If their surnames weren't what they are,can you imagine trying to put this fight together? You've got a welter who hasn't fought anyone and has been matched very generously, not even shown interest in domestic opposition and got close to a British belt So what we will do is, we'll get him in there with a bod who has fought at super-middle, mixed it with some top names, got the the semis of the WBSS, and we will chuck a catch weight in there in the hope that the naturally bigger man is bone dry and drained You'd get looked at like the div you sound like wouldn't
  12. I don't reckon he's got those qualities either Not from anything he has shown us so far anyway, peynaud who dropped Benn hard is certainly nowhere near as relentless and fit as jnr in my opinion, so without that quality his dad had its just a hard old job for Benn in there to even try an overcome a naturally bigger man and someone just so fit
  13. I agree with all of that It's mad how people can be so sucked in by it all, I get why it sells because of their fathers, but if you know what you're looking at, weight disparity etc, then like you say it's the wrong fight for both of them
  14. Benns best chance is if Jr doesn't get the rehydration right, Benn also likely gonna be carrying weight he's not used to carrying Jr will be the winner here imo, fit as a flea he is and relentless, mixed in better company, time will tell
  15. Some good boxing last night, McKinson has a big future,also went over to the lions den and fought Vergil Ortiz Jr, something Benn wanted absolutely no part of Dalton Smith again boxed well, him, Nick Ball and Ben Whitaker are going to have fantastic careers imo, Johnny Fisher fight was a poor stoppage imo although to tell the truth you could see what was on, it was only a matter of time Now going to have a watch of the Conlan fight
  16. Yeah the rules I thought would be one part anyone who had done even a little bit of research would get right, or at least would be aware that gloves were not a factor in prizefighting in the 1800s Yes John gully led a very colourful life, prizefighter to racehorse owner and mp, his battles with Gregson alone would make great viewing if done right Different times,very interesting
  17. Yeah if you're looking for a true to life picture of jems life and times you'll be left disappointed but taking all that away and just watching it as a film I thought it was a good watch but you do wonder why people can't get it right
  18. Yes Len look out for the 3volumes,you can buy off amazon,kindle or paperback. Another good read is "mountain fighters - lost tales of Welsh boxing" About the film,I enjoyed it like i said and it was a good watch, but it's worth noting it wasn't factually correct in some places, but that's not exactly uncommon for a film is it
  19. It was a good watch, I've mentioned it before on here I think but anyone who is interested in pugilism from the 1800s etc should read the Boxiana series by pierce Egan. Fascinating how many miles folk would trek to watch a scrap in those days,and in some cases only to arrive at the location to find that the fighters had "been bound over to keep the peace", and then going on another mission to the new location

    Aj. V Uysk

    That's one area where the UFC gets it right,a fighter gets beat but he isn't finished in the UFC, that and the UFCs competitive match making and fights happen when they should,and quality fights happen with a lot of regularity The UFC has its fair share of problems but as far as competitive match making goes it is spot on - you wouldn't be waiting for the UFCs equivalent of Pac V Floyd or Fury vs AJ as long as we do As for boxing,I would rather see a fighter be matched competitively all the way through his career,than have a fantastic record that on closer look is full of jank oppo

    Fasting...

    I've read fasting has all sorts of health benefits,off the top of me head I can't remember exactly what they are, but for weight loss I don't think you will beat a good diet and training regime,and an active lifestyle All these new fad diets are unhealthy and unsustainable,and aren't a long term solution to the problem,making small steps that then turn into habits that then turn into serious progress that you won't want to back track on is the key to whatever you're trying to achieve
