    I know nothing about boxing, but isn't being a good boxer at 38 highly unlikely?

    I look forward to Tom Daley's first fight. Conor McGregor has a lot to answer for.

    Andre ward has announced his retirement.
    http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/i...leaving-boxing

    Add him to Timothy Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez, Wladimir Klitschko and Floyd Mayweather all retired in the same year. Thats some hall of fame induction 20 years from now.

    He was losing the second fight handily until he started clubbing Kovalev's balls.

    He fought kov the 1st time and lost in my opinion. The 2nd time he attacked the russians groin unfairly and won. He stole two victories against kovalev but he still fought him twice without any hesitation.

    He did take the easy option though. Given how athletes/boxers compete at a high level for much longer these days, being 33 is still young.

    Pacman and wlad and the rest of them are 40 are still competed competitively.

    idk about all that ... Kovalev was getting worn out around 4th/5th from all of the clinching lol. Starting throwing rabbit punches and what have you. Ward wobbled Kov with a headshot in that 8th round before he went to the body as well.

    Now I don't disagree that some of those were low but it's not like Kovalev was pounding on Ward and Ward desperately went for the nuts. Fight was pretty even at that point IIRC.

    Ward's never struck me as someone who particularly liked boxing, so it makes sense to get out whilst he still has his health, and his millions of dollars.

    Kov didnt recover from the first low blow. It really affected him. Then there was constant punches that were borderline on the belt line. Kov had a weak bladder

    Anyone see this Fury fight?

    Sounds like another piece of classic judging. Is Parker a bit of a bum?

    Parker is the worst of the current heavy champions. He hasnt fought anyone worth talking about. He is seen as easy food. Nothing special. It was a competative fight. Could have gone either way.

    He's a big lad but the only fighters worth a shit he's fought, Povetkin and Parker, have beaten him handily.

    So, the Haye and Bellew fight is off because Haye, as far as I can tell, slipped and fell while running up and down a flight of stairs during training.

    It's probably because he didn't want to get a knockout in the 3rd round.

    Haye is made of glass. He is always pulling out of fights because he injures himself.

    You would think if you were in charge of Hayes training camp, glass figurine that he is, then common sense would prevail and you would find some sort of alternative conditioning workout that didn't involve him running up and down a fucking flight of stairs.

    Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux this weekend. Rigo has a big task ahead of him. I dont think he will win. Jumping up two weight classes to 130 in order to challenge Loma. Four gold medals between these two guys. I dont think we have seen a fight like this before or ever again. Usually Rigondeaux uses his smaller size advantage over his opponnets but i dont think it will happen here. Lomachenko is a special talent. Chess match at its finest.

    He did manage to strip donaire of all his powers. But loma is a different fighter all together though. Given how they both dont have 20 fights between them, ill watch their whole catalogue between today and fight start.

    The UFC should just take his title off him and cancel his contract. He obviously has no intention of defending so make it official and let the division move on.

    Richie Woodhall has been drinking tonight. No idea how he has DeGale winning on his scorecard.

    If the judges don't give it to Traux he's been fucked over.

    Edit: They actually called it right.

    Such an odd fight. Two guys who remained amateur for far too long and were immediately amongst the best in the world when they turned pro. Has anything like that happened before?

    No idea about Lomachenko/Ukrainians but Cubans always go a bit further into their amateur careers. Three people have won 3 Olympic golds and two of them are Cubans and there are plenty who did two games.

    Can't think of anyone who was as good as Lomachenko and Rigondeaux as pros though.

    Lomachenko is bonkers quick. Rigondeaux has looked the faster fighter every time I've watched him but he looks slow by comparison here.

    Rigondeaux is doing his best to play spoiler here, but Lomachenko is still shining. Hopefully that bit of aggro sparks it into real life.

    EDIT - Fuck RIGHT off. Shitebag.

    It was always in his favour, but that was superb from loma. Rigo claiming his hand was injured is sad. We have all seeen fighters continue with injured hands before. Excuses if you ask me. He was fettingn beat clearly. Dominate from loma. Loma isnt going to get more respect until he starts movig through weight classes.
