Joshua V Klitschko


Recommended Posts

 

I still think he's one of the greatest of all time despite the mockery he's made of himself for the last decade.

 

You say made a mockery but i disagree...there was a time when nearly all fighters had those few fights too many the love of fighting and desire to keep competing is respected throughout the boxing world....while we all hope to see fighters make enough money to walk away from the sport intact the fighters that gain our lasting affection are those that give their absolute all to the game we will all hold the Ali,s,Durans,Jones etc closer to our hearts than the Calzaghes of this world as they are what we used to term " a fighters fighter "

What Joshua is proving is what a lot of fighters talk about but dont actually do......he is doing the good old fashioned thing in boxing of letting his fists do the talking by not bashing around idiot

God I hate it when folk put "FACT" at the end of a sentence ....because it fecking ain't a fact,,,

Headliner worst fight of the night lol

It's not the losses it's the way he lost, his chin ended up more fragile than glass in the end. I've never seen anything like it before, he was getting knocked out with taps.

What a shitty night of boxing last night, just goes to show how biased the London Olympics was. I've seen better fighters down my local pub than the likes of Ogogo. They must have got their medals out of a cereal box....

Gavin Egginton was a good fight. Ogogo was shocking can't see how he will come back from that tbh

He hasn't got the talent, chin or heart to go anywhere. The way he quit last night was a disgrace..

 

Ogogo got his eye socket fractured sparring and went into the fight not knowing how bad the injury was...his corner pulled him out as he had blurred/double vision... understandable really...he was also carrying an Achilles injury... so not surprising he wernt at his best...people hate the lad because of all the celebrity stuff and maybe rightly so...but maybe he can come again? and the Cunningham lad gives him a rematch

I'm not buying the excuse tbh, he was piss poor from the opening bell IMO.

I do massively but he's causing more and more harm to his health every time he gets starched, I don't want to see him a mumbling mess years down the line.

Me neither.....if we want to wrap these Olympians up in cotton wool and give them the best of everything from day 1 then we cant give them excuses if it go,s wonky.

What scan? What hospital? Which doctor? Yes I do believe people go to such lengths as lying to protect their athletes.

BBBofC are looking into it...so doubt they made the whole fractured eye socket thing up.. ;)

A fighter and his team have got to notify them on any medical conditions or injuries before they sign the fight off, no way in hell would an experienced coach send him in with that injury.

You can tell by the picture there's a problem with his eye he's definitely got a lamp out so on that he was right to pull the fight ....but as for getting in the ring with even a suspected injury of that type don't say great things about the people around him.....either way I hope he makes a full recovery.

I understand that a fighter needs to do all he can to have the best career possible for himself but nowadays it's too much about the money and not about the honour. Fighters have too much control in these times, avoiding certain fights, pulling out with little niggles, undeservingly getting title shots, the list goes on. I know these things have happened in the past but today it's beyond a joke. I wish we could go back to having one belt to rule them all and see the best face the best on a constant basis not every 5 year or so...
