@Rembrandt said in Boxing Thread:
Worth a watch, the first fight I distinctly remember was Holyfield v Tyson. Really was Good v evil at the time.
I listened to this the other day in the gym ,
Evander although such a tough dude , had an innocence about him, reminded me of bubba from forest gump, my momma used to say this, my mumma always said that .

@kiwiinmelb Sounds like a pretty incredible woman. Really liked his talk on forgiveness too.

By all reports he is a Really good fella , no one has a bad word to say about him, in a sport where it isn’t always that way

Errol Spence is very lucky , no broken bones and a few facial lacerations ,
maybe one of the few occasions wearing no seat belt saved someone, thrown clear of the car , ( somehow safely by the sound of things ) while it kept rolling,
Expected to make a full recovery

Tyson Fury is apparently wrestling at the next WWE PPV, Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Oct 31 (Nov 1 NZT).
@Godder From a boxing point of view, that is a concern, maybe if anyone can not be distracted from that , it is him , but I think it makes more sense to get involved in that tomfoolery when you are retired

@kiwiinmelb Clear marketing ploy to raise his profile in the States.

@kiwiinmelb
Agreed, but I guess if he's paid enough, he probably doesn't care. -

According to wikipedia he never got back to them and they went with Foreman . Hogan has a grill out now too, doesn't seem to be doing too well.

I watched this at the pub and was with mates on a pub crawl so didn't see as much as I would have liked.
What I did see was a superior boxer once again get sloppy and knocked out by a sloppy boxer that saw an opening and took it. Hardest hitter on the planet.

Wilder v Ortiz II
Ortiz leading by a mile on the cards, then Goodnight Irene

Wilder is always behind on the cards , never seen a fighter so content to sit there the way he does, then wait for the opportunity to throw his money punch, that straight right ,
The funny thing was , he threw it just the once , thats all it took

Same for me. Think AJ is gonna be way more prepared re what to expect and bring his A game. Ruiz is unique tho so still could cause AJ problems
