Two fights this weekend 03/11/2026
Another clash unnecessarily created by promoters. I hate when they do this and should have done it another week. Which is better? Main card: Chris Billam-Smith v Cheavon Clarke (cruiserweight) Denzel Bentley v Shane Mosley Jr (middleweight) Damazion Vanhouter v Ivan Balaz (heavyweight) Sam Hickey v Troy Coleman (middleweight) Kayla Allen v Julia Igel (light- […]
Anybody else here found Moorer v Botha a very good fight? 02/11/2026
For some reason, this obscure heavyweight title fight ranks up there as one of my favourite fights… anybody else here remember seeing it? It does not rank up there with one of the classics, but it had its great moments and an enjoyable watch.MOORER v BOTHA (TKO) NOV 9th 1996 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic […]
Usyk v Benavidez 01/11/2026
The rumour is that the heavyweight champion Usyk is willing to go down to cruiserweight and face David Benavedez for the undisputed title! Usyk confirmed the fight yesterday. This is a crazy move for him because it has Roy Jones car crash all over it. Also what about poor Jai Opetia. Boxing is going crazy. 16 posts - 8 participants Read full topic […]
Daniel Dubois v Joseph Parker 30/10/2026
These two could face one another 30th January 2027. They were due to face one another before Dubois pulled out at the last minute. Parker will not have fought in 15 months since he lost to Fabio Wardley and was banned for using cocaine. Dubois will be fighting after destroying Wardley this month so he is keeping very busy. Dubois would be better waiting for […]

Haney does not want to fight Shakur 23/10/2026
I’ve seen their sparring videos on YouTube. And I can see why Haney is having all of this hullabaloo before signing on to fight Shakur Stevenson. He knows he can’t beat Shakur. Plus, coming off of that ass-whipping he got from Ryan Garcia, steroid claims aside, he knows Shakur will cook him and he does not want to have another legitimate loss on his record. […]
Ryan Garcia v Floyd Mayweather? 23/10/2026
Could this silly fight happen? A 50 year old who has not fought since 2017 taking on a young peak welterweight. Surely it can’t happen. Conor Benn was bad but this is awful. 4 posts - 4 participants Read full topic […]
Why did we believe Morrison would have beaten Mercer? 22/10/2026
Why was anyone giving Tommy Morrison a chance in that fight? That fight went the way it was supposed to go, with Ray Mercer winning even though that ko was probably one of the most brutal you would ever see in boxing. Check the facts, Mercer beat Morrison in the amateurs. Handily as well. Mercer was the champion… Mercer was the heavy favorite. 3 posts - 2 pa […]
I just realize how scared Spinks was ahead of his fight against Tyson 22/10/2026
Did you guys stop to appreciate how frightened Spinks was? Even as a trained fighter like himself, you could see the visible fear in his eyes. He knew he stood no chance of winning. He also was probably thinking about how bad those punches were going to hurt. lolol… I could swear I saw him trembling in the ring when Tyson’s music came on and started his walk […]
Lawrence Okolie cleared of drug charges? 19/10/2026
It seems WBC have closed the case on Okole. Lawrence was going to face Tony Yoka so could try and face him again. 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic […]
