Boxing 2011
This section lacked a boxing thread from what I can see.
Basically the same format as the other sports threads. Schedule/Results etc. Reviews In for a decent year if all goes to plan First up for the 2 main British Fights of the year. Amir Khan vs Paul McCloskey (Sky Box Office I think) Real no brainer on which way this will go, Simple squash fight for Khan. Have Paul talk his side then watch as Khan flattens him inside 3 rounds, Call this a warm up if you like because we all know the main attraction will be later on in the year with Khan set to take on Bradley hopefully around Nov-Dec, That is sure to be a bigger test than his last American outing because Bradley is no pushover. David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko (Sky Box Office) Biggest boxing fight in years!! Can't wait to see this one happen whether it does or not this time remains to be seen. Haye funnily enough is heading into this one as being the 'underdog' and has been somewhat rather underestimated. Give Wlad his credit but he is not as good as what the critics make him out to be and the fact is Haye is stupidly fast and packs one hell of a punch. Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley (Sky Sports 1-2) Another fight to look forward too after the Mayweather saga from last year. Mayweather has already knocked Mosley out of the way via UD. If we cant get those two to fight why not compare. If Manny comes up short in a fight like this it will just open the door for Mayweather to pounce. Shame really but we know Manny is unstoppable at the moment. Thats the three main big fights of the year then. Will post the remainder that are shown on Sky Sports 1-3 when they become available. Your views? |
Re: Boxing 2011
Amir Khan's fight tommorow will not be shown on Sky sports or Sky box office.
This is a world title fight and will now be shown on Primetime PPV |
Re: Boxing 2011
David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko
Fight of the Century is a mere 26 hours away! Live on Sky Box Office! |

Re: Boxing 2011
I wouldn't say its overhyped but it is definately overpriced like all boxing is on sky box office.
I'm going for Haye to win by KO in the 4th. If it goes the distance he won't win, he needs to knock him out and go for it early imo. |

Re: Boxing 2011
Haye was pathetic and has let a lot of people down so the best he can offer now is a rematch because there is no way that was David Haye at his best. His best could level Wlad in a second and not once did he throw a punch with the intention of winning the fight. He then had the cheek to throw his hands in the air like he had won the fight after the 12 round bell.
Upcoming Amir Khan vs Zab Judah Khan will eventually be the P4P best boxer in the world. It's a matter of time and with his current trainer he looks unbeatable. He is the fastest and his speed combined with his power make him lethal and almost identical to Manny with Khan being the younger and faster of the two. There will be only one tasty fight for Khan after the next few... Mayweather. As good as Khan is, Mayweather is a boxing genius but funny things can happen when you face someone as fast as Khan. |
Re: Boxing 2011
Good to see a boxing thread, my favourite sport!
Before Khan Vs. Judah there are 2 British cards I'm really looking forward too. 16th July 2011 - SKY Sports Venue: Echo Arena, Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom John Murray (31-0-0) Vs. Kevin Mitchell (31-1-0) Ricky Burns (31-2-0) Vs. Nicky Cook (30-2-0) Tony Bellew (15-0-0) Vs. Ovill McKenzie (18-10-0) 23rd July 2011 - Channel 5 Venue: Wembley Arena, Wembley, London, United Kingdom Dereck Chisora (14-0-0) Vs. Tyson Fury (14-0-0) Ashley Theophane (29-4-1) Vs. Jason Cook (28-3-1) It's great to see British boxing back on terrestrial TV, especially on a Saturday night at primetime. I fancy Chisora to K.O. Fury. |

Re: Boxing 2011
Amir Khan vs Zab Judah
Live on Primetime @ 1am Saturday (£15) Simple squash match for Khan setting up Bradley who is trying his best to dodge Khan. Khan will then pursue Mayweather which would set up an unbelievable contest pitting Genius against pure speed and power. As I have said I truly believe Amir Khan will be the P4P best boxer on the planet. |
Re: Boxing 2011
Tyson Fury Vs. Dereck Chisora on Channel 5.
I've left a message on Channel 5's message board thanking them for the return of free boxing on terrestrial TV. Maybe if you've got a couple of mins to spare you can visit their site and add a little comment thanking them for bringing boxing back to British television. http://www.channel5.com/shows/boxing...isora#comments I know it's all a bit corny however if they receive plenty of good feedback, and viewing figures are good, we might see a return of regular boxing to subscription free TV. |

Re: Boxing 2011
Indeed I completely forgot about this until today after a going over the EPG :P
Although its even better that a fight of this calibre is on Channel 5 at all as you would much expect a Heavyweight bout between these two competitors would be making at least Sky Sports 2. Wasn't Derek set up with Wlad not so long ago? In interesting news I am expecting David Haye to reverse his decision to retire and pursue a rematch with Wlad by first taking on his brother Vitali. More than meets the eye for someone that went up against Vlad and didn't even try. |

When I said Khan would become the P4P king eventually.. It may be a lot sooner..
He absolutely flattened Judah in a masterful bit of boxing. Timothy Bradley is way out of the question and simply wont go anywhere near Khan after this. I actually think Mayweather wouldn't want any of him either. Khan destroys Judah in Las Vegas (BBC) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/14259712.stm |

Mayweather will want a fight at 147 though, and I don't think he'd be too worried about Khan at the moment, he hasn't fought at that weight and it's a fair difference from fighting at 140. Khan is decent, but he's not showed he's anywhere near as good as Mayweather yet. ---------- Post added at 14:56 ---------- Previous post was at 14:54 ---------- Quote:

Mayweather.. I've gave him his credit and its about time he put up. Both Freddie and Khan know they are ready for Mayweather but its all about Manny. Mayweather knows fine well he cant KO Manny and he cannot outpoint him so he simply wont go for the fight. Why should Manny have to jump through rings to make a fight with this guy? He's undefeated but he's hardly fought the Superfights.
Anyone Maywether has beaten.. Manny has beaten better and in cases a lot quicker (Hatton) Manny is too fast and too resilient for Mayweather to match. as an expert put it. Quote:

Quote:
Cortez should have notified the timekeeper before telling them to box on, instead he told them "lets go" before turning to the time keeper after realising he hadn't got the clock started again. This is what lead to the ambiguity in what was happening. Better control over the fighters would have solved it, he should have put both guys back into neutral corners before giving the box on. Ortiz... what the hell he was thinking I don't know, after apologising at the break, and then after the break, he then goes to apologise AGAIN, I'm sorry buy after having the guy blatantly go for the headbutt, and then the overly nice apologising (he kissed the guy ffs, it's a boxing match, you're not there to make friends) he had the shots coming to him. My initial reaction was that Cortez hadn't give the box on order, and Mayweather should have been disqualified, that was based on the way Cortez was ignoring the fighters to signal to the time keeper, and Ortiz just standing there going for a hug rather than looking ready to box. On the replay it's clear the box on order was given, just both Cortez and Ortiz are both fools. Cortez should never ref another match though, the guy has been a liability for a long time. |
Re: Boxing 2011
Floyd Mayweather Jr bout will happen next year, says Amir Khan
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011...r-jr-amir-khan |
Re: Boxing 2011
Well it was always the more likely to happen rather than Manny but there is a likely chance he will just duck both and fall back into retirement. Mayweather's speed is no match for that of Khan's but they both have very good precision and Floyd has an excellent defence. With Khan's speed and precision you can almost guarantee Mayweather will take shots and wont be able to use the same gameplan he did with Hatton.
Mayweather will be favourite but the chances of seeing a Major upset are way higher in a fight like this. I honestly don't think Floyd will take a fight like this at all because of his attitude, If he lost he wouldn't even open his mouth but rather storm out and claim something extremely stupid.. His attitude is a joke. I want to see Khan fight another fight first rather than jump head first with this guy. |

Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson (10th December 2011)
What is with sky as of late in regards to completely dropping Mainstream boxing since Haye and Wlad? Primetime had Khan vs Judah and Mayweather, the latter being something that would have been shown on Sky Sports 1-4 and would have been part of my sub rather than forking out another £15 to cover primetimes crappy commentators. |

Re: Boxing 2011
It's all action from the Klitschko brothers now, Haye seems to have no interest at all.
One of the Key factors of the loss to the Wlad I think was the fact of his build up fights were pathetic.. Someone like Harrison before Wlad was stupidity. A squash match that gave him no real challenge at all which led into a fight with the best Heavyweight in the world. Kudos to Haye & Booth for being unbelievable idiots. There were easily better and harder options than Harrison and it goes to show almost solid proof that Harrison was simply a money fight for both of them. Absolute joke imo. |

Re: Boxing 2011
Tony Bellew is happy to acknowledge Nathan Cleverly's academic prowess, but feels confident he has a better boxing brain than the Welshman.The pair go toe-to-toe on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Bellew's home city of Liverpool, with Cleverly's WBO light-heavyweight belt on the line.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/box...-Cleverly.html |
Re: Boxing 2011
I've been hearing rumblings from Bellew's training camp that he is in top form. Boxing forums are buzzing that Bellew might actually pull of the shock and stop Cleverly.
I think Bellew has a great chance. I've always thought Cleverly has had an easy ride to the top. Yes he's held the British, Commonwealth, European and WBO light heavyweight titles but he has never beat the reigning champion to get the belt. He's always faced a top 10 contender for each belt after the champion vacated. He's also only stopped 11 of his 22 opponents. Cleverly has never been down, Bellew has been down 4 times and comeback and won. Bellew has the experience of going down and coming back to fight on. I think Cleverly might have a tough night ahead of him if his chin isn't made of granite. My head says Cleverly on points, my heart says Bellew by K.O. Eitherway it'll be a good fight, one I won't be placing a bet on. |
Re: Boxing 2011
l still think that Cleverly will win although it will be a tough fight.

The count was 114-114, 116-113, 117-112 in the champion's favour, and at the end both men could grin and accept that the bad blood should be discarded after each had banged each other around the canvas enough to prove their points but l wa a bit surprised in the points discrepancy at the end of the fight with one judge in particular. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011...?newsfeed=true |

Re: Boxing 2011
Marquez was robbed again. It was simply disgusting. He clearly won the fight. Even Amir Khan, stable mates with the Pacman, had the fight to Marquez.
Apparently HBO pulled the broadcast off the air early due to excessive booing and anger from the fans. One thing is now clear if Pacman Vs. Mayweather happens there will only be one winner..... Mayweather. |
Re: Boxing 2011

Re: Boxing 2011
There is no doubt Mayweather will flatten Manny based on last night's performance but 1 poor showing is relatively little to go off.
If anyone is going to stop Mayweather its Amir Khan next year. |
Re: Boxing 2011
It's not one poor showing though.
It's 4. Before this he hasn't looked impressive against Mosley, Margarito, or Clottey. There is no doubt in my mind that Mayweather would comfortably beat Manny. He hasn't impressed me for a long time now. |
Re: Boxing 2011
TBH I cant see Kahn doing him either. Kahn's chin is still very suspect.

Re: Boxing 2011
Yes it's a shame the great man's no longer with us. Boxers/fighters of that era make today's so called stars look embarrassing especially that useless lumpa wood Fury who was fortunate enough to have the fight stopped (again) in his favour before he would've got knocked out himself IMO. And no wonder his fights are free to watch on channel 5 because I for one wouldn't pay a penny to watch him. Just one more thing what the hell was his manager on about in the post fight interview when he said the 1st three rounds were on par with the Hagler v Hearns fight back in 1985 (is he alright in the head). I suppose he can try to make his fighter sound good because deep down he's probably thinking he may not be as good as he first thought?
