Flintoff almost accidently knocked out

It was just like a white collar fight. Dreadfull stuff but I do have a new found respect for Flintoff.

 

Props to him for giving it a go, but Flintoff was honestly the worst boxer I have ever seen, bar those 2 fat drunks on youtube and that gay boxer. Ive NEVER trained boxing and beleive I can throw a better punch.

 

Has he ****ed your mrs?:think

 

mcguigan is a spokesman for boxing...he is elaborate and has spoken a lot of sense when others have tried to speak negatively about boxing.
i am surprised he has got involved with something like this....it shows how money talks and even someone like him will sell his soul in the right circumstance....he took someone like freddie, who in any other situation mcguigan himself would in no way be associated with it, and basically used him...he seen the chance to get barry mcguigan promotion name associated with a big event and his son's name as a trainer put out there...he used the niave flintoff as much as he could.

its the way i see it today anyway.......and i like barry and shane...i just dont like what barry's done here.

 

Tbh honest never followed cricket cause i dont give a **** for it , all i knew about freddie was he liked to get pissed and he played once upon a time. He seemed like a nice enough chap tbh. Hope he surprises a few people. Doubt it mind.

 

agree with almost everything you said, Flintoff the "boxer" is a complete joke, and the fight was a farce but the pounding a fast bowler's knees and body take, day in and day out is pretty unnatural. His retirement wasnt a complete surprise from cricket - bowling 20 overs a day in test match cricket is a young man's game.

 

agree, the pose / celebration was fine in his heyday as a decent cricketer - the kind of thing you do after taking the crucial wicket of an aussie batsman. To pose like that after a scratchy, wild, and frankly embarassing performance like that was an indication of how deluded he is and how much he believes his own hype.

 

Cricket............meh. This is a boxing forum mate. looks like uve opened up an account to talk about freddies cricket career.

 

nah, was a huge boxing fan in the 80s and 90s - I only really read the classic boxing forum. Ventered here to see what you guys made of last night's embarassment.

Any way, forget flintoff's pose - what surprised me was Mcguigan's celebration!

 

1-0 There is no blueprint.

 

So, everything must be a publicity stunt - designed to keep him in the public eye - surely it would have been easier to go on those reality tv shows?

 

People need to get over themselves, it was what it was. Some bloke who wanted a go at boxing. Nothing more, northing less. Nothing to do with money or exposure on anyone's part.
