First topic message reminder :

WOW WHAT A FIRST FIGHT!

Feel like I got my moneys worth already and I didn't care a jot about that fight before the bell haha!

What a comeback, proper heroics

by Hands Of Stone Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:04

Might not be Gatti-ward but i think that was a great fight, both fighters showed their skills, showed their power and showed their vulnerabilities so yes would love to see the fight again

Also glad to see degale finally getting a bit of acclaim, nice touch and can see it genuinely means a lot to him

by quentins_monkey Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:05

Had a fiver on Linares to stop Mitchell between 10-12 but was hoping for Mitchell to win. Definitely a good stoppage though as his face was destroyed. Real shame though and as many others have said would love to see them go again. Smile

by Rowley Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:06

Well.said HoS, pleased for Degale, has not always covered himself in glory, but if you go and win a world title in a bloke's backyard you deserve respect, good to see him getting it.

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:06

Great card......Value for money..

Red is 4-1......I'm 2-3.....Bit embarrassing.

Feeling P***ed after two glasses of wine...I'm ashamed to say..

by AlexHuckerby Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:06

One of the FOTY for me, had everything, excellent technique, guts and heart, big comeback, knockdowns, excellent atmosphere. Mitchell may go down as one of the best Brits to never get a world title

by AlexHuckerby Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:08

Might turn this on mute, hype will be deafening

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:09

Good night of boxing

Now the mismatches (on paper)

by rob-glos Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:09

Wonder why they didn't interview Mitchell...
Guess he was pretty upset but maybe they got him off to hospital sharpish, that swelling was nasty.

So far this has been the best set of fights I can remember in a long, long time.

Shows that we don't have to put up with bilge like the Newcastle and Birmingham shows we've had lately.

by AlexHuckerby Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:09

Buffer reminding everyone he hasn't been stopped! Lol

by milkyboy Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:10

Hard to say how much the fight turned on the head clash. So I think there'd be interest in a rematch if they could get it...after Mitchell's plastic surgery.

My kind of fight... Quality boxers who are prepared to let their hands go and take a few.

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:12

Buffer ......give me Chuck Hull anyday

by rob-glos Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:15

Ian John Lewis....

Lump all your cash on this not going the distance then!

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:15

6-3 and 245 shocking....

People moaned about Buster being 240 at 6-4 against Holy..

by Mayweathers cellmate Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:15

It's probably in Johnsons contract that he has to be stopped.

by milkyboy Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:16

It's time for 'never been stopped' bingo... Hope you've got your calculators handy

by RatBoy66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:17

Really good card tonight, I'm glad I paid for it. Come on Joshua!

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:20

Useless stiff.....I said Ko 2 ..

by rob-glos Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:20

Joshua hit him after the bell and on the floor... Repeatedly.
Not the first time he's done that.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:22

Ummmm

by quentins_monkey Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:23

Wow. Wasn't expecting it to be over that quickly. Shouldn't really have come out for the second round. Brutal.

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:23

Keep telling you he's ready now

by Duty281 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:23

What a talent.

Joshua might well be The One.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:24

Amazing that uppercut at the end of the 1st obliterated him

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:24

Johnson 0-4....

Get him in with Price, Klit or Wilder

by quentins_monkey Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:25

Johnson's probably regretting having "The Worlds Greatest" as his entrance music now.... Wink

by Jermaine2015 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:25

Kevin Johnson can retire know whilst he's still able bodied.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:25

Iain john Lewis useless again stops fights early,all the time and this time let's Johnson take a thrashing

by AlexHuckerby Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:26

That was so good though you have to say... Almost punch perfect

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:27

Wtf was that about. Joshua now needs a proper challenge

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:27

The kid is ready now...

No one can teach him anything...

by AdamT Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:27

Didn't see it. I take it, Joshua was good??

by **ShahenshahG** Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:27

Frak hell

by **hampo17** Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:28

I said a few weeks back on the podcast that this fight was a waste of time. I'm glad I've been proven right.

by RatBoy66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:28

Hearn really needs to up the level for Joshua, That was far too easy.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:29

Tony Thompson should be next, Price could and probably would be in real danger.

by Duty281 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:29

He needs someone who can take him past three rounds!

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:30

How can you up his level below world title level....

by **hampo17** Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:30

Like who? I'm not agreeing with Truss, but who Duty?

by Cast a Shadow Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:30

Nice punches from AJ - that's proper power.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:31

Who is there looking at povetkin fury klitschko wilder

No one else touches him

by Cast a Shadow Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:32

TRUSSMAN66 wrote:Good to see you cast

Snap, Truss. Good fight between Linares and Kev. AJ looked quality IMO.

Fully expecting Brook to nail Gavin in 3 or 4 rounds.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:33

Stiverne?

by quentins_monkey Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:34

What about someone like Chris arreola? Still think Joshua would have too much for him but he's a name and could make a fight of it?

by Duty281 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:34

PaulHv2 wrote:Like who? I'm not agreeing with Truss, but who Duty?

Adamek, perhaps? Thompson? Chisora, perchance?

Just someone who can give Joshua some rounds.

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:34

This goes past 6 I'll be shocked

Amateur skills aside they only fight 3 rounds

by BoxingFan88 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:35

The ring top 10 has a good list Has to be that level

by **hampo17** Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:37

Can't see Adamek or Chisora giving him rounds. Wouldn't be confident Thompson could either Duty.

by Mayweathers cellmate Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:38

Hate the way they pretend there's no one out there for Joshua to fight. How about a top 30 HW?

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:38

You can agree with me you know..

Great night of Boxing.......and I actually got the last fight bang on....Red is 5-1 for the night and deserves an intercontinental belt..

by catchweight Sat 30 May 2015 - 22:38

Joshua looks the business, but he hasnt fought a single opponent that has even showed up to even try to win. Johnson is America's answer to Audley Harrison minus the gold medal and the prizefighter wins. Chisora would have been much better. At least he gives it go. Hearns pre-rehearsed "he is a great man, a great fighter and GREAT BRITISH" seems like a gem that was lost on the crowd. I enjoyed it.
