Can't wait for this. Wish I was going Really good bill and with it being WBSS there is no nonsense after it regarding who will fight who next. If Taylor wins he will face Regis Prograis in the 140lb final. Winner of Inoue v Rodriguez will face Nonito Donaire. I like the format. Superb chance for boxing fans here to see Inoue in the flesh. He'll go on to become an all time great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we see joke fights and amir Khan pick a big day to battered again 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually becoming a stretch to call it a sport anymore as it is completely dominated by the theatre and politics outside the ring. Sickened with it. Thank god for WBSS.

You could also be describing football with that sentance Like football, boxing remains hugely popular and unless fans see through the bull shit and start voting with their feet, nothing will ever change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo `81 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well done to Taylor - Though he would win tournament from start, still do... One minor, recurring niggle...Seen a few reports that said along lines.. " Taylor joins Scots Boxing legends like Buchanan, Watt, McGowan and Lynch as a World Champion" ... So, exactly how many weights does Ricky Burns need to win world titles at to get any credit from Scottish media and fans ? 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Suggestions that he was either "got at" or went into the fight carrying a virus Certainly some video evidence on twatter to give rise to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard through the grapevine he got concussed in training near lead up to fight. Also he couldn't get his normal TUE's for this fight. So a lot of rumours going around, maybe he just got beat.

thplinth Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07c6p2b Some of the reported corner chat with "AJ" and his corner well before the third round is very interesting. The fat mexican had a record of 33-1 or maybe 32-1 before this fight so he obviously can fight well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
