Thread: Andrew Flintoff vs Richard Dawson

More n more i look into read about the Andrew Flintoff Vs Richard Dawson the more im concerned for Freddie... Hes not evan at a standard of a half decent Amature boxer by the looks of Lords to the ring

Dont get me wrong hes improved and done really good for the time hes been in the gym .. But really ? and i thought the Mcguigan 's would have had more sense and looked after him with fighting someone whos record is 0-100 or something... Do they know something we dont? Or are they just in this for the cash? Yes Richard Dawson has been only fighting for 3 years or so with one Amature fight but he Koed a MMA fighter in his first fight in 19seconds ... His 2nd fight went 5rounds the guy retired on his stool with multiple Broken ribs.. He has his family to fight for, he done it the hard way...

Bob shannon is in Dawson's corner for the fight( the guy who trained Hatton for his final fight last weekend) Great coach .

i think freddie has the right to give boxing a go but after watching him spar in last nights show i was a bit concerned and when my 9yr old who was watching with me pointed out that when he throws punches his hands drop and he leaves himself open just made me think this could end early and with freddie on his arse

i think they do know what they are doing and i would be very suprised if freddie didnt win

This guy must be complete and utter pony. There's loads of Brit journeyman types they could have picked, who would have safely got Freddie to the final bell. Surely they wouldn't chance him actually getting sparked out.

However... @ 2/1 i'll chance this ends really embarrassing for Flintoff

i might have that n'all

I reckon if they picked a guy from the crowd that has some boxing experience Flintoff still wouldn't be certain to win.

Im not sure i know what youre saying

its like saying, if he had a walking race with some geezer you picked off the street who has had walked before he wouldnt be certain to win

hes not ready. Barry keeps baning on saying hes ready as he ever will be... Yes for 4 and a half month of training.... If he done another 4 half month training hes going to be twice as better and nto drop his hands when he is throwing a punch.... His right straight is a slap and paws it down...

Teniuqe so bad.

Well yeah... he has such limited boxing experience a guy like you, who has boxed, could be pulled from the bar and beat him, for all we know.

Just the fact the other guy has been in a street fight is enough to chance him.

now you mention me i see your point

i'd well box his ears

I'm not sure this can be taken seriously, its only a bit of fun. So entering into the spirit of it, and to make my Friday night a bit more interesting I have invested a fiver from my Senchenko winnings on Flintoff to win doubled with Price round 1 (12-1 returns). Gives me a bit of fun because there is no room for a serious bet on either fight because of the way the odds are.

Flintoff looks a bit weak to me. He fancies himself, but he doesn't seem like a fighter. He is docile and slow. The man played cricket and was never in shape and suddenly he wants to play boxing? When young I could always play cricket, but as much as I love boxing I would never have pretended I had what it took.

The man is bored and has a hobby. I cannot take him seriously though.

Flintoff has looked shit in sparring and a don't see why there rushing him into the ring after a couple ov months.the whole things a bit ov a joke and a take it they have hand picked a bum for him to fight.

It's 2 minute rounds. WTF?
That doesn't help the 'this isn't a farce' brigade (of which I was/am one).
