I don't want to see Brook anywhere near Crawford. Brook is delusional and he's convinced that in a rematch he'll beat Errol Spence Jr, but he doesn't take into account that GGG took his soul and then Spence just added a hell of a lot of salt to the wound.

He's done, he talks a good game but he's 34 and been inactive and just isn't relevant any more IMO.

He has his demons... hopefully it's something he wants to do and not something he needs to do.

The man co runs and is the fonder of Goldenboy Promotions mate. He's got enough money as it is. And if he needs money commentating/pundit gig would be more than enough.

It is the buzz of competing though. If you are a footballer you get to play in testimonials, golfers and the like have seniors tour. When you have dedicated so much of your life to competing it must be incredibly difficult to give it up.

I understand any sports person who's a legend of their sport it's hard but this is a combat sport. A 47 year old who's reflexes aren't the same when he was at 27 can find himself seriously injured if not worse. This ain't curling mate.

Amir Khan calling him out already. Gives him a other excuse to keep ducking the ferocious monster that is Kell Brook....

Look at the sad middle-aged football hooligans trying to relive their youth though. Once it is in your blood it is hard to turn it off. As for curling if you have ever seen me trying to ice skate you would realize I would be much safer back inside the boxing ring.

Thought Dillian Whyte looked as trim as I’d ever seen him at the weigh in. How does everyone think he’ll get on? I think he’ll win by mid to late KO.

Povetkin will be very dangerous early. He wobbled and hurt AJ early until AJ started to figure him out. Even though Povetkin is now 40, he's only ever lost to Wlad and AJ and he's a much better boxer than Whyte.

Povetkin has 6 rounds to get Whyte out of there, or as you say I think Whyte gets him late.

Pretty much how I see it. If he were five years younger, Povetkin would be favourite for me. However, we saw him get hurt by Price and KO'd by Joshua. Even Michael Hunter, a relatively small HW, had him buzzed in the last fight from what I recall. I think Povetkin knows he is unlikely to go the full 12 and will probably try to make things hot for Whyte early. Whyte also looks in good nick and is tough enough to survive the early onslaught. Hopefully, it will be a good a fight as I think it could be.

As for Taylor, I expect her to adopt different tactics and use her boxing skills. If she elects to go in and out quickly and use her footwork, I think she could make it a comfortable night and win a UD with no dispute.

Samie · « **Reply #63701 on:** August 22, 2020, 01:48:13 pm »

Povetkin been on the Russian sauce though. So he might look good for this.

Welshred · « **Reply #63702 on:** August 22, 2020, 01:49:07 pm »

Price would have finished him off as well if it wasn't for the bell but then we would have missed one of the most brutal ko's I've ever seen

Btw, did anyone else know Sergio Martinez fought last night? It was on the Ring Magazine

WTF is he doing coming back at his age FFS! He TKO'd some Latvian in seven rounds. He better be careful or he will have Amir Khan calling him out.

Do they not remember the reason they retired in the first place?

Samie · « **Reply #63706 on:** August 22, 2020, 02:40:21 pm »

As Al said in the previous page when boxers and elite boxers at that retire they have an itch to get back into the ring. Now usually it's boxers who need the money but the likes of Sergio Martinez and Oscar de la Hoya really don't.

Indeed. If you try a comeback in tennis, football, snooker etc. the worst that will happen is that you get embarrassed. In combat sports, the stakes are so much higher. I've always wondered how these guys can even get in the ring when out of shape etc. There is surely a voice in the back of the head that says: "You'll pay for being unprepared jackass." Unless of course you're James Toney in which case you boss it anyway
