Cringe-worthy. Even the microphone was too embarassed to work.




Behave. Some boxers have more heart than others, but Haye is no coward.



This seems to imply he wants to come back after his shoulder trouble even if he is only 85% of what he was:

Interesting from Haye.

I would question his desire to want to come back if his shoulder is only 85%.

His problems have probably been caused by the fact that he is a cruiserweight who has spent too much time punching guys 25lb - 50lb heavier than him & coming back with shoulder that isn't fully functional is only going to exacerbate the problem.

Fury is quality viewing for entertainment. He might not be a top class boxer but he brings some life and entertainment to unbelievably dull Heavyweight boxing nowadays.

Round 2 KO for Frampton. Next: Santa Cruz, WBC title.

Bizarre finish though, Cazares can't count

He was watching the Ref' fingers until 8 then turned away.
Pity, was shaping up well.

It was obvious he didn't want to get up - he simply tried to make it look different imho.

Bad news for streamers. Probably the most popular streaming site for boxing, boxingguru, and it's affiliate nutjob.eu have been taken down and the owner has been arrested.

Hi,

Thinking about getting BoxNation for the Pacquiao fight, especially as the Mayweather and Khan fights are on in a few weeks too.

However, I just wanted to check if it's possible to cancel your subscription within the month? I'm guessing not, looking at the T&Cs:

"WHEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CONTRACT IS FORMED?

By completing the subscription process you are entering into a contract. The minimum term of the contract is one month. After one month your contract will automatically become a rolling contract and you will be free to cancel it at any point if you should so wish."

Anybody have any thoughts...?

I'm looking forward to the Bradley -v- Pacquiao rematch tonight.

I'm tipping Bradley to win on points, but Pac is still going to be a hard fight for him.

These are the 2 best guys that Floyd has never fought.

The Floyd/Pac boat sailed 4 years ago, as Manny has declined slightly, but Bradley is still in his pomp, although that fight is never likely to happen either.

I'll go for split decision for Bradley. Can't see a T/KO win for either, and I think Bradley is hungrier and will edge it.

Bradley on points for me.

Should be a good fight though.

Bit naughty, but would anyone be willing to post a link to a stream...?

Hoping Manny can do it tonight! But I'm thinking Bradley too...

Seems reasonable to me, BN is a niche channel that doesn't make that much money, they can't get creative ala netflix etc.

Some fight this between Pacman and Bradley - something has gotta give here.

No way Bradley can keep this pace up - he better hope he ends this soon.

Bradley went on holiday in those middle rounds, cost him the fight.

Good fight but Bradley lost it by not using his jab.

Throwing wide shots is playing into pacquiaos hands.

Now any chance of That fight taking place, or do we get Pacquiao vs Bradley 3?

Bradley did what Ray Leonard did during his first fight with Roberto Duran; let his ego get in the way & played right into Duran's hands.

Bradley couldn't knock out a greenfly, so what possessed him to think that he could KO Pacquiao?

Good fight, nonetheless & no doubt, we'll see a rubber match between these two.

He's very insecure. I think he is distracted by trying to gain popularity, rather than just boxing. He was nearly KO'd by Provodnikov because of it, and the wrong gameplan cost him this fight.

With such a small pool of welterweights outside of TR and GBP, I can only see more in-house fights. I can't see how things can change given the influence HBO and Showtime have with each promotion company.

Great points.

He does seem to have this desire to prove that he is something that he isn't.

He really suffered after the Provodnikov fight, as he was slurring his words for weeks after & if the keeps this up, his career is going to be over rather quickly.

Bradley must think he is Thomas Hearns.

Tommy could box your socks off, but he could also put you to sleep with one precise Right hander, so he could get into slugfests occasionally.

Timothy Bradley just does not have the power to enable him to trade with anybody & he needs to realise that quickly.

Good win for Quigg that. Showed great power.

Would love to see Quigg vs Frampton. Genuinely think it's a bigger fight than Groves vs Froch, well in quality terms anyway.

Enjoyed that Crolla Murray fight.

If Murray had stamina he would be one hell of a fighter.

The Alien vs Superman should be up next, probably in Canada.

Brook is the mandatory for Porter, who KO'd Malignaggi in 4 rounds. Good luck Brook
