The Official General Forum Boxer/Boxing Related Off Topic News, Notes & Gossip Discussion Thread

The mask worked, it got him noticed and being talked about even by boxing fans here on ESB.

As the advice the wrestler Gorgeous George gave to Ali goes "A lot of people will pay to see someone shut your mouth. So keep on bragging, keep on sassing and always be outrageous"

Gimmicks, jive talking and being a gobshite twat etc are big part of boxing promotion nowadays, Fury is a prime example, i frankly look at it as being like school yard behaviours, but folk buy into it, so it is here to stay

 

Derrr I had a few good nights @Merthyr Tydfill British Legion with a few of the factory girls from the Hoover factory there in the late 70's /80's we used to box with the Rogerstone * Usk boys there... & Sharon from the factory was usually the prize lol

 

They tore down the matchstick man gym in the gurnos last month.

Your era was well before my time

 

Wilder's arsehole is flapping again.

 

YUP I'm ol school baby & miserable wit it ...good days fer me & Howard Winston was still a revered god...We in L'Pool like to think we're tough guys ..but them valley boys can crack & tough as nails.

i used to love fighting them guys, you hit them all hard & they'd always get back up & come on for more, never ever met a scared valley boy in or outa the ring...& yes there tough for White boys lol...I mean really tough!

 

The bollocks of Gareth Davies in this interview is remarkable, fair play to him most reporters would have crapped themselves

 

I love how you guys act like Wilder is so terrible that he can't even beat a 60 something year old journalist in a fight but if Wilder manages to win tonight, you guys will find every excuse to deny him any credit.

 

If you generally think that we are being serious about wilder struggling against the journalist then you must a imbecile.

 

Nice sense of humor there, m8

 

What ever imbecile means, if it's good I'm it!

 

Wilder is seriously cringeworthy, I can’t believe he thinks he is as intimidating as Tyson was, completely laughable.

 

Thing of nothing i have seen worse at work LOL

 

Looks more like he is patronising Wilder, doesn’t look intimidated in the slightest. Wilder is not at all scary, he just comes across as cheesy and cringeworthy, think Davies did a good job to keep a straight face.

 

It was the bit after for me “ I’ve just seen the real bronze bomber” etc , bit cringe
