Soulboy Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Golovkin v Eubank Jr is looking likely. I would pay to watch that. I really rate Golovkin......but EJ is great too and so much power........if he can land some clean shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have to admit I'll be very disappointed if GG and Eubank is arranged. Eubank has astonishing and brutal power but I think it is too soon. I also think GG might hesitate taking it. He's clearly top of the division but if I was him I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk that Eubank represents. They're going to face each other eventually and GG might think it is better to take on Eubank before he gets even better, but I'm really not keen on it happening yet. I'd have to favour GG even though I think Eubank would beat him in 18 months time or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleywater Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Big Eubank Jr fan, not as much as Senior I have to say, but on boxing ability Jr probably has the edge, but for everything else Senior No 1 GGG? I tend to agree with NNMM that he needs a few more fights before getting into the ring with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Golovkin v Brook! September 10th at the 02. Didn't expect that! the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Right here you have the number one Welterweight in the world against the number one Middleweight in the world – 36-0 vs. 35-0, two of the best on the planet, it's what big time boxing is all about.

Soulboy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) As pointed out somewhere on the Internet.......

Simples Canelo gets sparked by GGG Khan gets sparked by Brook They wont take the fights because they basically know it is lights out night if they do On the GGG v Brook fight, sounds like a great match to me, and should be a VFM PPV for a change not that I will be handing those scrotes sky any of my hard earned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I simply don't think Brook has had his chin properly tested - and nor am I convinced it'll withstand a GGG punch. Brook has, on paper, everything to be the next FMJ. Perhaps thats how he'll beat GGG? I think it is the only way because I'm also not convinced of his own punching power.

Soulboy Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I was accidentaly pencilled-in to be doing a bit of sparring with Kell Brook in Fuerte in Jan 2014 - after his injury.... but luckily I got lost on the way to Ingles training camp and was late. They had just left to play golf. I really, really rate GGG.....as said before on here. But i don't think Dominic Ingle would let KB fight unless he thought he had a very good chance.

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I just think Eubank and his raw power would suit a GGG fight more, but there is no doubting the sheer silky skill of Brook. He has everything to match the achievements of FMJ but I don't expect him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Big night for Carl Frampton. His 22-0 record versus Santa Cruz and his 33-0 record. Stepping up a weight to take on the best is to the credit of Frampton. If he does win he has to be right up there with the very best in boxing at this moment in time. I'm not even going to attempt to make a prediction on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Frampton won me over with his performance against Quigg. I don't doubt his skills but he always came across as arrogant. I guess top boxers need that self confidence/cocky attitude to get to the very top. Should be a good match up against the Mexican. I have a feeling Frampton will fall short.

NewNiceMrMe Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Stunning performance! His post fight interview with Showtime was humble and respectful too. To match what McGuigan did is quite something. A real British boxing star. Probably the best we have pound-for-pound right now in terms of his willingness to take anyone on, travel to them and come up with the goods.

billy2shots Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Happy to be proven wrong. I didn't see it but two judges had him as a clear winner so he must have fought brilliantly to out point a tough Mexican over 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I didn't see it either.....didn't know it was on till I read it here tbh. Great win though! I see Rigo has called him out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Rigo has called him out already. He lost his belts by turning Rigo down to take the Santa Cruz fight. I don't think he'll fight him next. It'll be Lee Selby. One of the problems, as you've said yourself previously, is that Rigo has never been that active and I think there is a chance that Framptons camp see him as now trying to muscle in on the big name that he has become. I certainly don't think Frampton would duck him, but nor do I think he'll be high on their list. EDITED TO ADD: No sooner had I posted the above, Frampton has apparently said this:“I just want to be involved in big fights, memorable fights. I don’t need to be disrespectful to guys, I just want to get on with it,” said Frampton. ”I wouldn’t want to be involved in a fight with Rigondeaux. That would be another stinker, and then people start to think this guy is boring and start to not like me. I want to be involved in big fights. I want to have a comfortable life after boxing. There’s no money in that fight,” said Frampton. Edited August 1, 2016 by NewNiceMrMe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on, Lee is a lot better than he is ever given credit for, I was at his fight with Stepen Smith back in 2011, the smith camp took it as an easy warm up fight before going on to better things even after the fight they never gave Lee any credit for his performance and put the defeat down to their man having an off night and pushed for an immediate rematch So it was nice to hear Paul Smith acknwledge recently that they didn't realise how good he was at the time Frampton v Selby would be an absolute cracker, and if it happens I will be backing Lee to win on points and show everyone just jow good he really is Have to give Tyrone Nurse & Tommy Coyle a mention for putting on one of the best domestic battles I've seen in a long time a real 12 round dust up Tyrone Nurse for me is great boxer with a great attitude and chin, if he had a heavier punch he could be World class, as for Tommy Coyle thought he was washed up after his awful display and loss against Luke Campbell, but to be fair to him you couldn't fault his determination and desire against Nurse, he lost the fight fair and square but stuck in their right to the final bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't want to see Frampton v Selby because I think Frampton will knock him out. Coyle's loss to Campbell isn't too bad when you consider how much of a world class boxer Campbell is. Many have gone the same way and many more will. I can't see anyone to challenge Campbell in the medium term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never happen, if you saw Lee in the gym, you wouldn't believe how good he is, and just how many KO;s has Carl managed recently? He couldn't knock Quigg out and Lee is going to be a dam sight harder to hit than him Frampton himself has huge respect for his ability,so that tells you all you need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Lee Selby is a superb boxer, I'm not doubting that in the slightest. However, I don't think he's on the same level as Frampton and a KO would be a TKO or a stoppage by the referee. That's what I was referring to.

Really can't see it Frampton is Wold Class of that there is no doubt, but Selby for me is the better boxer Lee is a much better boxer than Team Sky ever give him credit for Watch how he dismantled Gradovich Frampton appreciates how good he is and knows he is going to be the most awkward opponent he has fought to date His chin is teak tough, seen him spar with a cruiser weight, so no cocerns there Check out the odds 10/11 Frampton Evens Selby, those are not stoppage odds, it will be a points decision, and I'm backing Lee. I had a massive touch on him when he beat Stephen Smith as we was totally unconsidered,and I am not going to desert him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleywater Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 GGG v Brook Any opinions on how this one goes down, or even who goes down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I'm torn on this. On the one hand I think Brook has looked supremely confident whereas GGG has appeared decidedly edgey. Then I think Brook and his silky boxing skills might well cause GGG issues. However, I then come to the realisation that it is almost inevitable that GGG will catch Brook flush at least once - and if he does then I think it is game over. I'm not convinced that the two weight leap has been as easy as Brook makes out or that he'll have gained enough additional power to do much damage. On that basis, I'm going for the easy option and a late KO in favour of GGG . Maybe even the 11th or 12th round, but I'd be surprised if it was before round 8. I would love nothing more than to see Brook win (however he does it, I don't care) but it is going to take a quite exceptional performance to do so.

billy2shots Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 When I watch all the buildup I really think Brook has a chance. Then I realise that's to do with how the fight is promoted for maximum tv sales and the reality is Brook stands little chance. I won't use the term 'punchers chance' because I firmly believe GGG could take Kell's best shots all night. Mid it goes 12 then Brook could nick 7 rounds if he boxers to his very best. Can he do that with almost a stone of extra weight? It has to slow him down and GGG WILL catch him at some point. 160lbs is hardly big so GGG is quick enough even at his age. Kell gets dropped 3 times in total and doesn't get up from the third (round 7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
