The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Finally got around to watching Kirkland vs Julio 6/10

 

I watched Duran - Barkley this evening.

 

Hatton-Stewart = 5/10 (nice KO though)

De La Hoya-Hopkins = 5/10

Hamed-McCullough = 7/10 -

- (a somewhat overlooked Hamed fight, mostly because it went the distance and therefore there was no brutal one punch KO. The HBO commentary was horrible, "Hamed is a Yemini born Englishman" and Kellerman is a true hater, who seems to want to argue with actual boxers like Foreman over matters of boxing protocol.

The fight itself was a very entertaing one. Notable for the on-screen breakdown of the Hamed/Ingle relationship - at one point Hamed pushes Ingle away, Hamed constantly refuses to make eye contact, and seems disinterested in what Ingle has to say.

Its actually a very good performance from Hamed, he dominates a live, durable and tricky opponent, and sweeps most of the rounds. Hamed looks in great physical shape, and he is very elusive, for every ten punches McCullough throws; only one seems to get through).

 

this shuold be made a sticky

Where do you all watch your fights i had a place on the internet i used to go but all the boxing channels have disappeared

 

I buy them from here, £3 a disc:

www.bargainboxingdvds.com

If I'm not supposed to put a link to this, please tell me, and I will remove it.

 

Great web site mate cheers.

You had any problems the quality of the dvds?

 

Nope, all worked fine, and quick delivery usually.

Stuff from the 90's is usually VHS type picture quality, 2000 onwards is DVD quality, the new stuff is identical to watching on digital TV. Good place to start is the classic trilogies section. Also, they update with new fights, I got Diaz-Marquez a couple of days after it happened for example.

 

Cheers got a bet up at the weekend and the green has been burning in my pocket

 

The Toney Vs McCallum trilogy is it worth buying ?

 

Currently watching Lamon Brewster vs Andrew Golota.

 

de la hoya vs Ike quartey was very entertaining i gave it to Ike but it was it was very close

 

Pacquiao v Marquez II 8/10

Great fight. Still give it to Marquez by one round.
