    Ah yes, the old ‘siding with Huns’ jibe :giggle1:

    Thrown out there when someone is making a complete * of themselves.

    You’re actually on a boxing thread, annoyed at a random stranger online for mentioning a boxer in a thread about boxing, and throwing out bizarre hun accusations.

    It’s genuinely pathetic :giggle1:

    He'll be deleting your posts and threatening to ban you next. Silly wee milk monitor that he is.

    Can tell how much you love the sport with your exemplary description of one of the best fighters of your generation.

    Also, if you think that wasn’t an illegal shot, you don’t know the rules of the sport.

    The quality of his posts in this thread have always been horrendous, tbh.

    Now he’s had a good go at detailing the whole thing because one of us had the audacity to mention a boxer he has a strong liking for in a critical manner :52:

    Let’s see how he gets on against Fury and we’ll revisit the conversation.

    Also, there are plenty of actual boxers and people from within boxing who have forgot more about boxing than you or I know that know it was a legal shot and that Dubious should have won the fight. Amazing that innit.

    He used to do the same thing in the mma thread when it came to McGregor. Said the way to beat Khabib was to just punch him in the face. The boy is a * simpleton.

    Personally, I think the punch was good and Uysk should have lost that fight..and that he cheated... but it's history and I'd like him to do Fury anyway!

    Just have to look at how Joshua dealt with Parker and how wilder dealt with Parker to know who’s better

    Wilder is now an ayahuasca taking hippy and Parker is now an active danger at the top level of the division.

    Fury sat back and took a tongue lashing from ngannou at press conference and whole boxing fraternity loved it … a think a lot of people connected to boxing are fed up with fury and his constant bullshit

    I really like big Ngannou but he literally rehashed McGregor v Mayweather pre fight Press Conference almost word for word.

    If it builds up a rematch though, great.

    Will be good to watch the wee * get sparked in round 1 but boxing has become embarrassing recently. Biggest fights are YouTubers and MMA heavyweights.[​IMG]

    There’s never really been a collective unified boxing voice in these crossover bouts. From an MMA fan perspective, they seem to get behind the MMA fighter collectively because he’s representing the sport in a different setting. For boxing’s fans it’s just seen as an elite fighter taking on an easy challenge for money, which is difficult to get behind.

    Besides that though, in the case of Mayweather, McGregor, Fury and Ngannou, there’s only one person who’s not a total gobshite.

    The state of boxing when a 27 year old is going to fight a near 60 year old.

    Jake Paul is an insufferable * *, I would love him to fight in a serious contest against someone who's active and ranked in the correct weight divison so he could be immediately hospitalised.

    Boxers talk some amount of * and have crazy egos but Bellew was right that these "youtubers" like Jake Paul could get seriosuly injured the longer these * circus acts continue.

    Thoughts on AJ vs Ngannou. Think Ngannaou could knock him out tonight.

    More on the line for AJ because it is obvious what he is doing in trying to one up Fury's results... Ngannou I think personally has enough of that wild card edge to make the fight interesting and perhaps similar to his fight with Fury where filthy casuals like me will be up in arms with how the judges scored the fight.

    But reality is AJ should be winning this fight in dominant fashion, probably by points... I don't see AJ trying to go toe to toe as I just think he's never mentally recovered to this day, by being put down by Ruiz.
