Boxing update

I quite like my boxing and thought I'd update people on three significant events this week.

1 - The biggest is that Tyson Fury is back!

Probably the best heavyweight around should add spice to division and rule it again if he fights like he did against Klitschko

2 - Shock defeat for DeGale

DeGale's been a top boxer for the last few years but got beat up badly by Jack last time out in his drawn bout.  He since went on to have shoulder surgery.  Even so he had an easy comeback fight - or so it was supposed to be - he lost!

He didn't look right.  He talked about his shoulder after the fight and his nose.

Seemed as though his body has now gone.

Shame if it as - a George Groves rematch looked tasty!

3 - The greatest boxer you've never heard of won again!

Double Olympic Gold medal winner Vasyl Lomachenko (Ukraine) is still only 29 but has lost only twice in his career of nearly 300 bouts (amateur and professional)

He really is a bit special - catch his bouts if you can!

Fury will come back stronger, he has something to prove.
Probably beat Joshua at the end of 2018.

I watched DeGale and he was very disappointing, maybe his last fight and the shoulder injury have affected him more than he thought as he was a shadow of the fighter i saw win the title a few years ago in America.

I watched Lomachenko as well as the fight was hyped up as being for the best pound for pound fighter but his opponent Rigondeaux was very defensive and in my eyes gave up when he knew he couldn't win.

As for Fury i hope AJ smashes him up, he's an embarrassment to boxing.

Seriously? Happy to take you up on that for £20 and the loser can donate the money to a Bolton charity.

I've never been a massive fan of DeGale and always thought he was slightly overrated and a bit of a tit. 

Tyson Fury is a total bellend. I'd love to see him get knocked on his arse but you can't deny that the guy has ability and tbh, he adds character to the heavyweight division, something that has been lacking for years now. I'd personally like to see Joshua fight Deontay Wilder who is another prick I'd like to see knocked out.

As for Lomachenko, I love watching the guy fight. He's so hard to hit its no wonder he's won so many fights. You can see why they call him the Matrix. Rigondeaux was completely out of his depth and realised it pretty quickly. He retired on his stool to avoid being completely embarrassed. I don't think there's a boxer around who will get anywhere near beating Loma, on points or otherwise.

Why would I not be serious?
And yes, you donate it to the charity of your choice pal.

And I hope Groves smashes Eubank Jr all over the ring before knocking him clean spark out.

Then beats his dad with him.

Double or quits because I fancy Eubanks Jr to stop Grove.

No probs pal, don’t know how Eubank will not get sparked here.

Groves has only been beaten by Jack n Froch, two world class opponents.

Eubank fights bums, or over the hill fighters.

I think groves will land one like he did against Froch, the only difference is, has Eubank got a good enough chin?

We’ll soon see..

I hope groves wins the Eubanks suck.

Made me laugh when the dad said his son would dismantle GGG hahaha
