    they recon jake paul made 20m  from just 5 fights ,, so in money terms fair play to the man 

    Yeah fairplay to him,like i said,i dont begrude a man getting his fair whack 

    Just saying a fight with the Pauls is isnt going to make you or break you if youre a serious boxer & there is fortunes to be earned in legitimate fights that proper boxing folk want to see

    making money

    Yup,i dont begrude any man making a few quid,the Pauls had plenty of dough before "boxing" and bring a big crowd from their Youtube s**t but they will do nothing for a man in terms of rankings or belts and legacy in the sport 

    Ultimately a promoter & a fighting man will make more money if the right fights happen at the right times that people actually want to see

    I cannot for the life of me understand what boxing/mma or sport in general is doing entertaining this fool.....a random idiot off the internet who has never fought a pro boxer being spoken of in the same conversation as professional fighters what is sport trying to do to itself !!

    I know,unreal! In any situation in life anyone with a brain would not bring someone to the table who offers absolutely nothing,and thats what this clown brings to boxing/mma imo,nothing 

    Personally i think any fighter or promoter entertaining the Paul bros are making total c***s of themselves

    I cant imagine what thats like he's a quiet,private sort of chap....always kept his everyday job up....maybe a sign of how the sport is progressing if the best pullers can start making a living from it.

    Hello mate,think he still has his day job to be honest as a few of his vids are him in a work setting all hi-vis'd up etc 

  6. Ill have a watch of it,I dont know loads about armwrestling but I enjoy watching it,and at least Larratt is back doing his own sport instead of some moody boxing match 

    John brzenk has his own youtube channel now and his first few videos gave me a laugh,while he was working it all out 

  7. Im very happy for Kambosos Jr, Lopez may be a great boxer but him and his father come off as a proper pair of wallies 

    That Kambosos right hand in rnd1,what a shot! 

    Also nice to see Lopez failed to take his loss like a man,great boxer but really unlikeable chap alongside his old man,nearly as pleased about this win as I was Fitzys win over Fowler 

     

    On another note,wtf was this s**t

     

     

  8. Some good fights the weekend just gone,i enjoyed azeez vs burton,azeez boxed a blinder,all the experience of burton just did not look like it was there at all, hes not been the same man after the buglioni loss

    Crawford v porter was a good fight,great bodywork from crawford,and i really respect porter he is game as they come,what a resume

    Yes moore v macklin was a proper tear up!

    Thanks for reply Bill yes Teds got to think long term he,s too young to be having the kind of wars he,s having at this stage of his career he has a nice little construction firm thats doing ok hopefully that might come into the equation but he,s a game kid and thats not going to matter when he,s taking shots.

    I didnt think it was a great performance from Fury i thought Wilder did what Wilder does and just searched for the straight right hand all night and Fury seemed to struggle with his reading of the fight to me...normally he is good at gauging the tempo of a fight,when to turn it on and when to back off but with an opponent that was ridiculously predictable he certainly didnt deal with Wilder as well as he did their last fight.....id like to see Joshua step aside and Usyk fight Fury personally.

    No worries mate,he is very game indeed and has an attitude that wont see him hang them up anytime soon imo,which is why i really like him, but with a construction firm thats doing alright he certainly should have a think about his approach to the sport, as you say hes very young and has been in battle after battle,some fighters can go years without having fights like hes had back to back! 

    Yeah it was a bit all lost at sea at times wasnt it but i definitely think joshua step aside and let usyk fight fury 

    Thats a very intriguing matchup,and one that i think fury ones,but i rate usyk very very highly

    Thanks squire,i was staying with some lads connected to Fowler hence my heart over head bet he was well beaten though i never really rated Liam Smith funny enough but seeing him up close he does some very clever things in the ring,good fighter.....and yes Teds usually involved in wars he always starts out with the best intentions to box but gets drawn into the scrap....needs to start thinking post career in my opinion or he'll end up leaving part of himself behind.

    What did you make of the Fury/Wilder bout mate ?

    Im not too keen on any of the smiths to be honest,callum is by far the best out of the brothers,followed by liam

    Yeah fowler was beaten convincingly wasnt he,smith wants vargas next 

    Youre not wrong about ted,all those fights are bloody entertaining and keep people interested but he needs to think beyond the ropes a bit,too many like that as you say take from a man things that you cant put back 

    I thought it was a good fight,bit messy at times from both fighters,but plenty there to watch,i think it was a better watch than many thought it would be due to the fact there wasnt much promotion of it,and the end result was actually an up and down encounter that whatever way you cut it tyson fury got the job done again 

    Talk of fury-whyte next

    He's a strange one Okolie he certainly has power and range but looked so awkward in his early fights i just couldnt see a top fighter in there and thought both Chamberlain and Wadi Camacho would both beat him but he seems to get the job done the Mcguigan lad is obviously doing good things with him......every time he fights i just keep waiting/expecting everything to come crashing down you know those type of fighters that just dont fill you with confidence ?

    McGuigan coming into his own as a trainer isnt he,Okolie is likely one of them awkward and ungainly fighters people just cant work the way they want to against 

    I know what you mean

  13. I think it also applies sometimes to getting the best out of folk,how you,or the employer or subby or whatever is deals with people, of course pure lazy bone idleness is going to get f****d off out of it,and if youre not showing the right interest in learning and honing the job then why are you here? You cant get anything out of a dope but attitude toward people goes a long long way in peoples performance and results 

    Ive always done my own thing,to be honest i dont begrudge anybody who works for a company but the idea of working under somebody for me personally gives me the horrors

    I just cant handle the politics and the silly my c**k is bigger than your c**k regarding job roles and length of times ones in the company etc its just not for me at all, and 2 recent examples drum it home even more ,mates son who has been a hoddy for years has transferred to another job site and some c**t has chucked a trowel at him missing his head by inches and hes given the chap a pasting for it,and some lad i know round here is again looking for work because people he was labouring for he kept having to chase his dough and they were always talking to him like s**t 

    I know ive gone off on a tangent but call it foolish pride or whatever you wanna call it but the idea of ever being in a firm with all the politics and bulls**t that goes with it,and some lemon thinking he can talk a certain way to you because hes been there 5years and youve been there 2,no thanks
