If Fite TV is looking for people to present and do punditry, take lads off the RAWK Boxing thread lads.

Laura Woods. All she does is laugh.

That hasn't stopped Micah Richards being on our TV seemingly all day every day on every channel.

I do. I'd rather have a woman on there who knows her shit like Natasha Jonas and not Maya Jama because she's fit and has big tits.

She can't be worse than Johnny Nelson and Carl Froch to be fair.

Disappointed they haven't got Big Sexy Naseem Hamed on board to be honest.

Possibly the greatest piece of punditry ever. The shout out to his Mrs at the end is the best part

Can't believe he hasn't been invited back.

Yeah Eddie Hearn likes his pundits to be yes men and just keep hyping the matchroom guys. It's the reason we haven't seen Paulie Malignaggi for a while as well.

WOW! Nonito Donaire has cancelled his Bantamweight unification fight with John Casimero because the personal shite he said about Donaire's wife. Also called Casimero a drug cheat basically.

Natasha Jonas is not a presenter she is a pundit. So not sure why she was compared to Maya Jama.

I think Kate Abdo would have been good. She has a genuine interest in the sport.

But DAZN just wanted to get in some big names.
The pundits they got bar Bellew are very good.

Good on him. He's in a good position to do something like that though because no one's going to accuse him of ducking anyone, and he can just take the Inoue fight for probably more money anyway.

What's the point of that video? That Wilder can 'badly' bench press Fury's approximate weight? Intimidating stuff. Almost as scary as that stupid costume he wore the last time. How did that go again? He's getting walloped again barring a fluke punch, and I can see him quitting during the fight and retiring after.

Eddie Hearn on Canelo moving to Light-Heavyweight:

Quote

"Artur Beterbiev is a fight that Canelo, sickly, wants. He knows how hard Beterbiev punches. Canelo's a competitor - you tell him that's not the fight to take, he'll wanna take it." [@DAZNBoxingShow]

Lusty · « **Reply #67101 on:** July 2, 2021, 07:20:54 pm »

Canelo has got absolutely no fear has he?

Samie · « **Reply #67102 on:** July 2, 2021, 11:19:20 pm »

I thnik he's waiting for Beterbiev to be on the downhill slope before he agrees to fight him though. No way any time soon I don't think.

Briedis also moving to Heavyweight. Seriously who the fuck is now left at Crusier? Gassiev announced last week he is moving up too.

Lusty · « **Reply #67104 on:** July 4, 2021, 10:40:15 pm »

Cruiserweight is supposed to be a bit shit though. At least these guys are all going straight to HW and not messing around with this bridgerweight nonsense. (Soon to be known as the Deontay Wilder consolation prize).

Great chance for Okolie to clean up now. Amazing as Cruiser was loaded with talent a few years ago.

Deontay Wilder on the Tyson Fury trilogy:

He's definitely not right in the head, from his dozen pathetic excuses to his odd behaviour (not talking at press conference, screaming like a girl when lifting weights), I'd say he's fucked and Fury is going to do a number on him. Stoppage inside 6 rounds.

He's just sulking because he didn't actually want the fight and they called his bluff. He should be sat at home on a pile of cash claiming Fury ducked him and preparing to clean out the bridgerweight division. Instead he's 2 weeks away from having the piss taken out of hin again.

The cynical side of me would say that he's not been taking training seriously, now realises he's not going to be in shape in time.

The recent videos I've seen of him, he's wobbling like a bowl full of jelly around the lower back and stomach.

I know he never looks like Mr Olympia anyway, but he looked badly out of shape even for him.
