christ, the poor sod!! that looks even worse than the hell on earth i had to endure at that milton keynes hoo haa.............

[tuscaneer]

golovkin is terrifying. i was getting claustrophobic just watching him close down lemieux. that little shoulder roll to deflect incoming rights also hides his own hook. great fight.

chocolatito looking like an unstoppable force too!

[Amirhussain]

Most of Golovkins opponents must be mentally fked before they've even met him.

[lord trumpton]

Golovkin - my word he is such a master of his craft. His footwork is a delight and the way he changes from the smiling, boyish chap into the laser guided pugilist with a mission to destroy is amazing.

In a way there are parallels to the Manny Pacquiao of 10 years ago.

Still makes me 'English' thinking Eubank Jr can beat GGG . He would get absolutely and utterly fked to pieces.

C'mon tusc, this has got you written all over it! Actually it's a bloody good job my trip to NY is done and dusted, otherwise my credit card might just have taken an even bigger pounding...!

Ha! I'm angling more towards the Creed Stars & Stripes outfit...think the Drago gown might be an inch or two on the long side for me!

well thanks very much for that "pal".....i was caught looking at that little lot and now i've had my credit cards confiscated AND cut up for good measure!

[tuscaneer]

oh, and because i've just got my gully signature into the framers i was going through all my bare knuckle era books refreshing my knowledge on him and i remembered a channel 4 documentary from a few years ago about tom cribb/bill richmond. don't know why it popped into my head but a quick youtube search found it in 5 parts.
watched it again last night. good watch...

for all you sad boxing nerds just like me, i give you.......

^ Excellent - some entertainment for tomorrow evening.

See Eubank's fight with Spike O'Sullivan has been confirmed as a final eliminator for the WBA regular title, which is being contested between Daniel Jacobs and Peter Quillin a week or so beforehand. Think that's a realistic target for Eubank assuming he comes through against O'Sullivan, though I think I'd still like to see him get at least one further fight in against a credible opponent before going after properly experienced top-tier fighters like those two, let alone the likes of Cotto, Alvarez and Golovkin.

[tuscaneer]

I 5hink he'd have a hard night with both Jacobs and quillin.....not saying he'd lose but fighting st heads like the guy the other night......it's not doing him any favours...

watching that docu again and reading some of 5he comments......i wish someone would make a film of Richmond and his times.

We need a conglomerate of investors to get a film maker invved

[tuscaneer]

...Involved!!! Anyone e in???

[Yiliterate]

There are some interesting stories from that era, that's for sure. If you were to make a film, the tales of Richmond and Molineaux would probably be the easiest 'sells' due to the American angle...Molineaux especially, winning the fight for his freedom and his 'owner' a $100k bet; pure Hollywood!

Plus, I know where there's some old boxing film props coming up for sale! 'Drago' looks a bit like 'Cribb' if you squint...

[Amirhussain]

So Eddie Hearn has confirmed that Froch has been asking about GGG...

Ha!..we could make some truly fked up patchwork quilt of dream, reality and eras......it would be like fear and loathing in las vegas....with fists......probably wouldn't sell though...

never gonna happen mate...it's just to keep his name in the papers. he told me categorically that there was no way he could boil down past the super middle limit....and ggg has got a fair bit of unfinished business at middleweight yet.

...at Wembley I heard? Such a move would be a bit of a risk, not sure if such a big venue has sold out before.
