Well said. Actually I think this thread is symptomatic of what is wrong with this forum. Too many gobshites allowed to run wild being permanently disrespectful and without moderation. It drives people away and gives this place a bad name. I think I going to give this section of the forum a swerve for a bit as there are too many wind up merchants flying about.
It seems pretty chilled in here and is relative calm in comparison with the general m8, I wouldn't let any of the Irish/Scots/Welsh/English wind-ups annoy you, it's water off a ducks back amigo. :bbb
this all stems from some1 on behalf of lindsey sounding like sour grapes, lindsey made no excuse for the loss. it was a great fight. credit to both lads
well you clearly know nothing about boxing if you had lindsay winning:good i dont listen to what jim watt says he chats ****
Yeah, I think the OP is putting too much stock in Watts's powers of persuasion. Personally I can't stand him. I'm not Irish or Scottish. I do however honestly believe that Simpson clearly won that fight. I have nothing but the utmost respect for both fighters but excuses have no place in boxing, all that matters is what occurs within that 36 minutes. End of.
You have a ****ing cheek calling anyone else biased! Do you remember predicting Haye to brutally ko Valuev in 5 rounds? Or how about this little gem about Haye's chin - This content is protected You were also one of the few people to think Booth made Boente "look stupid" after he showed Booth up to be the **** talking amateur he is. You defend Carl Froch, Jason Booth and Rendall Munroe at every opportunity. You predicted Groves to "massacre" Anderson and "show him up". And let's not forget how you shout from the rooftops about how Bunce, the unbelievably biased and blatently pro British journalist, is "THE MAN", and on the other hand slate Slap for being biased towards Irish fighters!
i reckon that simpson being a likely grueling defense, his trainer should have looked for a delay, simpson won ok, and if lindsay wasen't on form, he should fight smith, then if he wins a simpson return. Simpson is entitled to a less demanding first defense at home.
Wasnt he interviewed at the gym 2 or 3 weeks before the fight and he looked tip top. Seen it on youtube if memory serves. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTlpGrpjBM[/ame]
Hmmmmm, i see, another poster your aiming the same **** at. You seriously lack personality in interviews and in posting. :roll:
I shouldnt really say this but john had an injured arm and couldnt punch for the best part of 2 weeks 4 weeks before the fight,neither guy would want to make excuses and had a very good fight,imo john has the style that will beat Martin most of the time
have to say martin looked fresh as a daisy in that video and i think that was not too long b4 the fight i thaught martin mightve squeeked a draw but while lookin at the fight its simpson whos pushin martin back most of the time and did enough to get the win
