The RedCafe Boxing Thread

I have no idea. If they are screening the fight, I'd say there is a decent chance they will show them in the week preceding it.

They always do, here they show them on networks that don't air the fights in a marathon style... I usually wait til then but ive been watching this one as it goes.
 
Cheers Nick! that's great news, looking forward to it.

REALLY want JMM to win, i'm no huge boxing fan but i've watched my share of fights and i think a good fight is fantastic to watch and without a doubt the purest sport in the world in terms of man on man.

IS nobody giving Marquez a chance?
 
Skybet have Mayweather 1/4 to win, JMM at 11/4 and a draw at 25/1.

I usually put a few quid on high profile fights, Kahn's first round stoppage won me a decent amount and I won when Mayweather beat Hatton too. Just take pot luck on a few rounds, JMM is 80/1 in early and late rounds, so if you pick the winner and the right round you are quids in.

You love yourself a fair bit of man on man eh?

Im taking it easy on this fight:

Mayweather Jr F wins by SD - 5/1 = 10 bucks
Mayweather Jr F wins by KO - 14/1 = 5 bucks

Nothing too wild
 
I think Mayweather will win but its definately worth a bit of change on Marquez. The 24/7 hasn't been spectacular to be honest I will post the links to the 2 that have been aired now
 
Looking forward to McDermott/Fury tonight. I hope McDermott fustigates him.
 
:lol: i knew i was in for that with that comment...

but seriously, caf boxers/knowledgable boxing fans what say you?

Is Marquez in this fight or is it all Floyd?
I expect Mayweather to win relatively easily. I hope I am wrong.

Floyd is 1/4 to win, Marquez 11/4, with most bookmakers.
 
I would give Marquez more of a chance than Lance but Mayweather should win

I too am looking forward to the fury fight, Ian Napa is meant to be fighting tonight as well, nice fella met him in Finsbury Park Nandos, blamed his loss to Malik Bouziane on over training.
 
What a fecking joke. Fury clearly lost that fight.

Why the hell do they persist with "the ref scores the fight" in these contests?
 
could somebody please inform the media of this... they seem to have got him all wrong
The media love a big mouth. Since the vast majority of them couldn't tell a promising boxer from a box, it's not surprising they jumped on the Tyson "he has a great name so he must be awesome" Fury bandwagon.

In reality, he has had seven fights against shitbags, never gone more than four rounds, and just got his ass kicked by a chubby, average domestic fighter.

Due to the ref's incompetence/pay off/visual impairment, Fury is now 8 and 0.

Total joke.

apparently he was looking for people to spar with him for 1k a week... im about 170lbs and id give it a go for that!!!
 
Some how I dont think that would be a good idea

if he fought like that in his actual fight i think i could last a few sparing sessions!

though admittedly the weight difference would probably indicate my best bet would be to keep about 10ft away from him at all times... and given how quickly he moved that does not look impossible

That was a disgraceful fix. They just didn't want Mr Not-very-Box-Office to win.
 
Well, Kessler and Ward both won last night, as expected. Neither suffered a cut so their Super Six bout is on as scheduled.

I think Ward will be in for a nasty surprise.
 
SSN breaking news ticker, Olympic medal winning Irish boxer Darren Sutherland found dead at his home.

No more news around at the moment.

RIP.
 
I just switched to SSN when I read your post. This is fecked up.
 
Suicide, apparently.

He looked like he was going all the way to the top as well. Really was one of the brighest prospects around - a tragic waste of both life and talent.

Some fecked up shit fi real.
 
What a horrible thing this was

Out of all the recent Irish amateurs he had the best Future as his style suited the Pro Game IMO

He was a friend of my mothers, she's in shock. She said he was the happiest person you could ever come accross, always had a smile on his face, everyone loved him and he'd brighted up a room if he walked in. She was talking to him a few weeks ago and he was saying how much he " loved london " and he was happier than ever. So many young blokes hiding there true emotions and only see one way out. So very sad

RIP Man
 
Shocking news. Tragic waste of a potentially fantastic talent.
 
Im wondering if this really was suicide or made to look like suicide

Regardless, RIP. Shocking waste of a talented life.
 
Quitali vs Chris Nipple this weekend. Anyone know if it's being televised?
