Boxing 2021

At his peak Tyson destroyed fighters like no other boxer I can recall, although even then there were signs that if you didn't go down he struggled for ideas. The way Bonecrusher Smith went the distance with little worry showed his limitations. His greatest asset was his finishing power. There have been bigger hitters, but few who could land so many devastating punches so quickly which is why I think he'd have taken out Fury. 

Smith just held on for the entire fight if I remember it correctly.

He did, but he was never in trouble.

Very impressive from Savannah Marshall tonight, her next fight against American Claressa Shields 11 December in Birmingham, should be good.

I switched on about ten minutes ago wondering which fights I'd see.

[Gary Penrice]

The Dillian Whyte v Otto Wallin fight is reportedly off due to Whyte injuring his shoulder!

[dave.woodhall]

Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall off as well.

Craig Richards was a bit ropey for five rounds but did the job well in the sixth.

Is the Boxxer series the same format as Prizefighter but with a different promoter?

[dave.woodhall]

Anyone else watching? Or, as it's on our manor, anyone there?

Flicking back and forth between boxing and snooker. Prizefighter was great for running books on Betfair, so I watched all of them (bet there aren't many in that camp) and iirc made a profit on all but one. No market up for this on Betfair today

That's t'other channel. The Birmingham show is DAZN.

Ha, was wondering how Liverpool was our manor. Then I flicked past Belgrade....he can't mean that.....

Villa get a mention in Shakan Pitters' ringwalk.

Was he praising Steven Gerrard?

They can say what they like after that fight. Another classic from Mick Hennessy.

Anyone else bothering with tonight's show of pugilistic excellence?
