    100/1 to win by KO? Surely not! If so what bookie?

    onthup is clearly a muppet but bellew is even stupider for responding. just put him on ignore like i do with many of the idiots on this forum
     
  3. No one knew at that time how badly ste was hurt. Selby needed restraining for a good minute mate. Bang out of order. Love the fighter but the man behaved like a classless **** following to ko

    Pacquiao did almost exactly the same after flattening Hatton. Running around the ring, jumping onto the ropes celebrating, while Hatton was motionless on the floor.

    Surely you can understand the heat of the moment, the occasion? That was a massive deal for Selby last night. Nobody gave him a prayer of winning on points, nevermind KO'ing Smith in his back yard.

    I just think you're being a bit harsh on him, when you take the above into account.

    I've no idea mate. Selby said it in his post fight interview.
     
  6. I hated pacquiao's reaction.

    I think there's a difference between a tko and a pure ko someone cold. The tko ref stopping a fight fair play go mad. But out cold? Show respect
    Paul smith, who everyone seems to think is a **** ko's josef matolsci couple of months ago. He needed medical assistance. Smith stands in the corner not celebrating until he knows matolsci is ok. THAT is class.
    I'm not going over the top here. Jamie sanigar knew selby was out of order.

    Lets hope the lad picks Simmy next, & heres a thought, have two wars with Simpson ruined the Swifty kid?

    Simpson is a brutal wee fighter, so I wasnt too suprised to see Smith lose after a couple of fights with the greenock granite:deal

    Do not underestimate the power of wee Simmy my good man, by the time Swifty fought Smith a second time he took some serious punishment to hold on for a hometown decision.

    remember, Simmy is probably the only fighter on British shores that could argue against ALL of his losses. The boy has always been hard done by, & IMO his hard work softened up the scouser.

    Untrue, most fighters argue against all their loses instead of just admiting they're not good enough.

    thats not a dig at Simmo by the way, but IMO the first fight I had Smith winning and the second I had a draw. Both had a valid argument for the win though.

    You could also argue that the ease of Selbys victory makes Simpson look a poorer fighter.


    Not saying he is :lol: just that the argument could be made.

    fair enough, but Simmy has had some spectacular decisions against him, honestly.
    Simmys only problem with Smith was that when smith was tieing him up & holding, Simmy got frustrated. If theres one weakness in Simmys game its that hes not effective enough on the inside, if Billy can get his inside game right, Simmy can be world class if you ask me.

    Stephen is a man in and out the ring and im sure he will win his titles back,im sure he'll also be aware he'll need a wee bit of time to recover from saturday.
    Simpson will rip the titles away from Selby in the meantime easy!
     
  15. Billy this is one of your best replies ever on this forum. Livra is a troll posing as a poster.
    Would love to see Simpson in there with selby. That fight would be a war! In the mean time swifty needs a bit of time off and to re group. You dont become a bad fighter overnight. He just needs to apply his skills to fight situations! He'll be back no doubt.
