    He needs telling at this stage, he might still win some at a certain level, but that Whyte ko should've been the end imo

    Brilliant comeback!

    I struggle to feel bad for McLellan and Adonis.

    It's my favorite sport though it scares me how much brain damage that's pros have to take.

    I used to box at amateur level, and when I started having doubts about taking head shots / damage that could be caused further down the line, it was the beginning of the end for me in the sport.

    And that's at amateur level with headguards and bigger gloves. Pro boxing at all levels is not to be trifled with.

    That's what i was getting at but still this is the sport we love and what ever a fighters behaviour out of the ring he didn't deserve to be in that state, or mocked he is a scum bag though no doubt

    Tommy s
    Should retire now. He's had a great career, he's a clever lad that works hard and has made a small empire for himself in hull. There's nothing left for him to prove, and his best days are behind him now. Hang em up Tommy!

    Groves on BT sports for Fury fight sounded rough. Or maybe just a screwed up nose. Sounds like he can’t breathe properly through it.

    Groves has a deviated septum, hence why he always sounds like he has a blocked nose.

    Have you watched many of his IFL interviews? He comes across as pretty genuine most of the time to me, which is the main thing.

    Although he talks about the “money being right”, you can tell that he enjoys what he does too and likes to test himself against the best. But he is a complex character and does suffer from some depression issues, as sometimes he puts in really flat performances.
