G-manc's latest activity

  • As previously mentioned, the Gray transfer will never happen due to his Leeds roots. Leeds aren’t skint any more either - they don’t need to sell.

    He should have stuck with Ben Davison; Sugarhill doesn’t seem very tactically astute and and a bit entitled due to the Kronk link. Fury’s not a big enough puncher to fight the style he wants him to. I think Fury will kick himself when he watches...
  • Looks like it’s an October release for this on consoles, having been rebranded as ‘Undisputed’. I hope it’s not a let down; it’s been so long since a console boxing game. https://playundisputed.com/

    The names you’ve mentioned qualifies my point of it being a pretty shallow division. I’m perplexed that those names would be the difference between an acceptable or pathetic resume. He’s literally trained with Joe Parker for years so that was...

    As I said earlier, if he faces Joshua after Usyk, he’s faced what most people would consider the elite fighters of his generation. It’s been a poor division for a decade or more, im not sure who you think his record is short of to stop it being...

    Why does that matter as long as he fights Usyk and Joshua at some point? Joshua has fought Franklin, Helenius (as a stand in for Whyte) Wallin (who Fury got roasted for) and Ngannou (who Fury also got roasted for) post Usyk - what’s the difference?
  • G-manc replied to the thread The RedCafe Boxing Thread.
    I know that his resume always gets compared to Joshua’s but at the end of the day, he’s unbeaten in what is, a pretty shallow division. I would agree he’s sometimes been an issue in fights not happening but he’s fighting Usyk now and it’s...
  • G-manc replied to the thread Post match vs Arsenal.
    We’ve set the bar so low all season that i didn’t think it was that bad, despite not looking like scoring. Bad times.

    He’s been working with nutritionist Greg Marriott again. I think he helped him shift all the weight when he first made his comeback but they had an enforced break when Marriott got cancer. Marriott knows his stuff and wouldn’t stick around if...

    I get it as a tactic, and he’s be stupid to not employ it at times, but he’s only really been like that from Wilder 2 onwards which has coincided with Sugar Hill in charge. He’s made himself more vulnerable by being reckless and aggressive when...
  • G-manc replied to the thread The RedCafe Boxing Thread.
    I think that’s a fair assessment. He’s obviously massively flawed and inconsistent as a character and is also capable of sub-par performances but I also think he’s capable of rising to the occasion and I don’t think he’s a bad bloke underneath...
  • G-manc replied to the thread The RedCafe Boxing Thread.
    I think using his size to try and make it physical and tire Usyk out is what people think will be his tactics but he was countered relatively easily by Ngannou and he could easily drop 3-4 rounds quickly against someone as skilled as Usyk being...

    Fury has a lot of haters on here; genuine question - does anyone’s opinion change if he wins next weekend? I feel like the Ngannou performance might end up being a good thing and has given him a kick up the backside. He looks in great shape and...
  • I was surprised the Havertz one from the weekend seemed to be accepted by most pundits. He dragged his trailing foot along the ground to initiate the contact, never a natural movement in a million years.
  • I remember me and my mate got tickets for the fa cup QF at Sheffield United in the home support behind the goal. He celebrated Danny Wallace’s goal and we spent the rest of the game moving around the stand trying not to get filled in. I was 14.
