Fish-Finger-er Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) i hate khan with a passion, and think he is over rated(hes good, but hes still rather young, think people are putting too much emphasis on him too early), totally different bloke to the olympic silver medalist. but hell win tomorrow unless earl lands a big punch in the first couple or rounds. (which is quite unlikely, as he aint exactly a hard hitter). as for the hatton vs mayweather, i aint bought it, ill download it like 2 hours later. really want hatton to win, in my opinion, if it goes the distance mayweathers got it, but im generally expecting it to be stopped (probably 6th or 7th at a rough guess) and hatton to win.EDIT : Earl is just another fighter chucked in the mix for khan to beat, its the way it goes, the blokes got a short reach, and doesnt hit that hard, admittedly he gets up nice and quick, comes back for more etc, but thats just for the fans, so they can see khan hit him hard again. also khan stands to lose little from this, he wins, hes the great sportsman the papers are overhyping him to be, he loses, hes got a rematch with him in the contract. so hell make his money again. also my hate of khan isnt really a hate of him, its more the media hype surrounding him, and he seems to lap it up, hes a young fighter doing well, hes just become a household name, and so has got really rich of it nice and quick. whereas fighters that in my eyes are equally as good if not better than him (willie lammond for example, theres a rematch needed if ever i saw one) and no ones heard of them.michael katsidis would wipe the floor with him i reckon, but mention michael katsidis to most people and theyll never of heard of him Edited December 7, 2007 by trials_punk182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Kahn seem's really cocky. Hes a good boxer you can't deny that, but I just think hes going to go down the same track as Prince Naseem. Hatton last night was pritty amusing for anyone that saw it. I actualy thought it was going to start early lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Doesn't the start time depend on the fights before?The student halls next door are showing it, and cause they are run by the same peeps we're allowed in. But everyone has to pay £2, i'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I agree. I see boxing as a most pointless sport, and just seems to end up with the participants getting brain damaged.also, why is everyone spending £15 to watch it when everyone thinks it will be over in the first round? no sport in it whatsoever, just childish bloodlust.

the666ers Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I agree. I see boxing as a most pointless sport, and just seems to end up with the participants getting brain damaged.Boxing is not childish bloodsport. It requires a massive amount of disipline and commitment, yes it ends up in a lot of people getting brain damaged and injured, agreed. However, I doubt most professional boxers are likely to have been doctors or engineers had they not gone down the path of boxing.I train twice a week with my s.u boxing club and before anyone stereotypes all boxers as loutish thugs I will testify that everyone I have met who trains at my club are gentlemen. I have met some inspiring and brilliant people who have taught me perseverance and disipline through boxing and the general atmosphere cannot be beaten after three hours of adreneline fueled exercise! Everyone is completely pumped afterward. Never have I seen anyone loose their temper in a spar and from what I can tell most people seem to have a very warped view of boxing generally.My advice is to get down to your local club and watch a training session. If you think you could experience the same 'sport' in watching drunks ruck in the street I'd say you were shortsighted to the point of disbelief.Just my two cents.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 you make a fair argument James, i will never consider it a proper sport because of the basic principles, even though it's more of a sport than football (which incidentally is a game not a sport) i think there are better forms of athleticism than fighting, and i'm not doubting the training and discipline involved, i can appreciate good discipline/sportsmanship in most things...howeveri'm sure you can take into account the amount of fools the get a set of gloves on and think they're rocky, it's pathetic, whilst you may be involved in a decent club with a decent set of people there are still others out there doing it for the perpetuation of violence.and the childish blood lust bit was aimed more at the people who watch it.

Fish-Finger-er Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 also, why is everyone spending £15 to watch it when everyone thinks it will be over in the first round? no sport in it whatsoever, just childish bloodlust.erm, its £15 for that and 3 other title fights, its going to be 5 hours entertainment altogether,no more expensive than seeing 2 crappy hollywood films in some big room where the seats are sticky theres kids throwing popcorn and your kneecaps need to removed to fit in behind the chair in front. its all what appeals to you, to me paying £200 an hour to have some middle aged tart dressed in leather and pvc, kick you in the bollox, doesnt appeal to me, but theres obviously a market for it. as for the comment about boxing. its no less of a sport than golf, darts, bowls, snooker, etc, but all get regular media coverage. brain damage, meh its their choice to fight, if someone said to me ill give you several million pounds to spend loads of time in the gym, and to be become a national star. but youll die at 62, id jump at the chance. at an amateur training kind of level, its no more ridiculous than shelling out thousands of pounds to hop around on a bike way too small for you that you cant even use to go anywhere, is probably a damn site better for your health, a lot more handy in real world situations(up town on a saturday night, bloke tries to start on you, 46" taps aint going to help you get out of that one unscathed, but a quick couple of jabs may give you enough time to get out of there). and is most certainly cheaper(even to kit yourself out with a heavy bag, speedball, mitts, gloves, pads, helmet, shorts, boots, some trackies, tees, and running trainers to train in, your not looking at much over a couple of hundred quid, and thats overkill, can generally just go to training sessions for say £2 a week and thatll do you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 surely its the most natural sport going, people have been fighting one way or another for centuries, one of the best physical test in my eyes, id love to get into it more but don't have the motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
