Guys, I didn't intend for this thread to become a discussion about that comment or about racism. This is a great, great fight. For people who...
I know you are new to ESB, but, really, you should know I am not. (And I'm not pretending I'm in with all the latest American racial etiquette,...
When did I suggest it was Ward saying that? Yeah, it was Ward's father-figure. His god-father. The man who brought him up and who taught him how...
I am not black and I don't give a **** about race or ethnicity, and I have never supported Dawson before, and I am not going to support him...

I don't want to be seen to be defending Bute, but I was impressed that Bute came to the UK to defend his title against Froch, making less money...
Quite right. Over the last few years I have started to be convinced professional boxing should be banned/ heavily restricted and regulated. Why?...
Yeah, man, that comment was way out of order. I'm surprised that the usual people who overreact to racist or perceived-racist comments haven't...
The Ring's ratings are a joke. It doesn't matter whether they are right in this case or not. They knowingly mis-rated Bute in the past, when it...
It must be, if a fighter as good as Dawson cannot draw flies to ****. Boxing is pretty irrelevant world-wide (with a few exceptions), but it's a...
For the best man to win, this would have to be a fair fight. It ain't. The weight should be 170lbs and it should be done in Las Vegas for the...
I think he needs to win at least 9 rounds to win. If Dawson wins 8, it's going to be called a draw, or a split decision win for Ward, I think....
Yeah, I'm supporting the underdog, who is fighting in the other guy's home town, who got screwed contractually both by the weight and the purse,...
Boxing is one of the most stupid businesses to be in. Only a dozen or so fighters are really making good money. That's crazy, given the risks....
3/4 people on ESB think Ward is going to spank Dawson. But whom are you backing, emotionally?
