Takam is approaching Grandad Ortiz's age now.

Still think Joyce is a bit rubbish you know.

Has anyone seen much of any of the boxers for team GB at the Olympics? Anyone to look out for?

Samie · « **Reply #67003 on:** June 19, 2021, 01:04:07 am »

Not me mate but apparently one of the boxers to keep an eye on is a lad called Frazer Clarke.

There is some dude called Pat McCormack meant to be the dogs bollocks

Samie · « **Reply #67005 on:** June 19, 2021, 01:45:58 am »

What weight class is he mate? Clarke is a Super Heavy in the amateurs so would go into Heavyweight in the pro game.

Seems to be a welterweight from his Wiki mate

So is Joyce. He’s 35.

He really shouldn’t be fighting Takam. He should have been looking to fight Whyte. Joyce needs to get a move on.

Watched Pat McCormack in the qualifiers. Looked incredible. His twin brother Luke is also decent.

Saw Peter McGrail (who is a scouser) fight in the WBSS at York Hall and he also looked really good.

Frazer Clarke narrowly lost out to Joyce for the spot at Rio 2016 and is also meant to be decent.

You also have the youngest Yafai brother and Benjamin Whittaker at Light Heavyweight who medalled at the last World Championship.

Daniel Dubois' younger sister Caroline is meant to be a very special talent as is Lauren Price.

Think we are probably good for 3-4 medals and maybe 5 at a push.

Good for him. This guy was like 1/16 to beat Rosado

If anyone could sort me out with a stream for the Inoue - Dasmarinas fight, that would be great. On my only holiday this year in Plymouth with the Mrs and a few other couples and fancy watching.

Just caught up with this one. Those 3 body shots were pure evil.

Inoue vs Donaire being lined up for end of the year is my bet.

Last person to have such scary power below Lightweight would probably be Naz.

Single punch power like that, yeah. He's like a bantamweight Wilder.

That can actually box too.

Probably not getting the Fury fight this year then?

I have a sense of dread about the Wilder and Usyk fights anyway. One of them is going to go wrong.

Samie · « **Reply #67026 on:** June 22, 2021, 04:19:57 pm »

Don't think so mate. I think both will come through their fight's though.

Big John Fury reckons it's Tyson I think, had plenty to say about him living it up. At least Wilder is in the gym, however much use Malik Scott is is up for debate

Hope so mate. I know you and me disagree on AJ v Usyk but I hope you're right!

With Fury v Wilder it comes down to how serious Fury takes it as L4 says.

Samie · « **Reply #67029 on:** June 22, 2021, 05:01:03 pm »

I don't disagree per se mate. I think Usyk has a chance if it goes the distance but going by Usyk's Heavyweight fight a legit Super Heavyweight should walk through his defense and hurt him. Usyk needs to have the game plan of his life if he wants to beat the real big boys.

Dan Rafael reports Teofimo Lopez tests positive for Covid-19, Kambosos fight and card is off, moving to Aug 14.

As an Aussie, I been looking forward to this fight for so long.

Can't believe it got delayed yet again.

I call absolute bullshit on Lopez getting Covid - and I disagree with Kambosas saying it's because Lopez was not on track to make weight (although he does have a history of this).

I personally believe they pushed this fight back because its a PPV and doing absolutely shite in terms of buys.

It's a hard sell in Australia to have it a $50 ppv when only the hardcore fans know who Kambosos is ... and I'd say the same goes for Lopez in the states, he's not on PPV level yet.

Jr is ending his career the James Toney way. He'll lose to a YouTuber before too long.

He belongs in the circus thread to be honest!

At least your mate Fat Toney achieved something in the sport and didn't find his way to a world title via nepotism.

Surprised no mention of former British Heavyweight title holder Brian London passing away lads. I know you guys in here are real serious about your boxing

Anyway, he's passed away at a ripe old age of 87. Not bad that considering what happened in later life to other boxers of yester-year.

Had two shots at the world title did London and got knocked out both times, by Floyd Patterson and Mohammed Ali. Lets face it though, two of the greatest boxers of all time so no shame there.

A fitness fanatic up until his death and a teetotaller. (according to Wiki).

A legend of British boxing IMO.

RIP.

Samie · « **Reply #67037 on:** June 24, 2021, 05:10:39 pm »

Yeah mate, came across my timeline about an hour ago. I mean he challenged Mohammed Ali during what people say is the true peak of his prime the mid to late 60's.

RIP

Lusty · « **Reply #67038 on:** June 24, 2021, 05:43:16 pm »

That's sad news and the first I'd seen of it. You had to be a tough old bastard to hold the British Heavyweight title back in those days, it was a great era.

Eubank Jr camp in talks to fight Demetrius Andrade. Should be a step up in quality if it comes together.
