Performances where fighters disappointed you

I think we knew way before that.

 

Darren barker v the Frenchman
Sugar ray Leonard v Duran 1
Enzo v Haye
Matty hall v the jihad warrior

 

Well I agree, and I think prize-fighter really showed it up, but I hated seeing it confirmed. The man beat (a faded) Tyson, a living heavy weight legend. I hated seeing the fall

 

Froch-Dirrell's a good shout.

I was expecting him to stop him like he did Taylor yet the fight was a ****ing snoozefest.

I remember being so amped up for Froch-Taylor. I was expecting Froch to show Taylor who he is and do it in style. Never been a Taylor fan and underestimated tbh.

So watching the fight on a stream i already seen him go down and he was getting soundly outboxed then the flipping stream cuts out. So i switch to radio while i search a stream. In end it must be up to 7th round and i'm now fuming. Froch is boxing like a **** by radio's commentary and i can't see it. I'm muttering all sorts to myself.

****ing him off, ''And you wanted Calzaghe and you perform like this!!!!'' ''Throwing it all away against him!! him!''. ''Boxing like a ****ing **** out there! you mug'' things i'd never say to his face!! LOL.

I'm sitting there :-( accepting defeat and coming on here to see the hate on Frochy..and then all sudden round 10 he starts getting some real artillery off and 11 i start to perk up a lil.

Then round 12 i'm up listening to Mike Costello's commentary and i'm throwing each punch with him :bbb at 4am and then when Costello went ape**** something like ''3,4,5,6 shots 7 8..it's over!!!!! he's done it'' i've unleashed a roar and run up stairs to wake my father up ''he's ****ing done him he's done it!!!!!!!!'' he's like '':blood :twisted: ****ing calm down! at half 4 in morning''.

It was like celebrating a winning goal. I was so pissed with Froch that night yet he brought me so much joy in way he finished the job. It went from one end of emotions to another. It will always live with me that night.

But the amount of times i've felt let down by fighters. I've give it all the talk. Told mates who are casuals and then the **** bottles it and i get stick next day.

 

I was disappointed with Dirrell.

Froch at least came to fight..... Dirrell probably won it but deserved to get fired by the judges for fighting like a girl.

A bit like DLH vs Trinidad (who I was disappointed with) but much worse.

 

That.....was......Beautiful.....:thumbsup

 

Nice touch waking your father up, I like that!

 

He should of been awake anyways! I give it to him now ''i was there in bleak times...through thick or thin at 4am!!! i backed Froch since day!!''

I loved Costello's commentary that last bit was ****ing emotional. Wish someone could get hold of that. Piece of British Boxing History.

 

had a lil chuckle to that myself:good

 

I couldn't find a stream so had to put up with ****ing Barry mcguigan throughout the fight instead on the itv delayed coverage. Watched it in bed, with the mrs saying to me "who the **** is ****ing Carl froch anyway"
Silly *****. She got put in her place right away, breakfast in bed followed

 

Mosley vs Mayweather.

After Floyd made the adjustments he needed to in Rd 3, Shane just looked old, out of sorts and bamboozled for the rest of the fight.

I spent the fight trying to explain to my two mates why this guy I had banged on about being a legend was standing there shaking in front of Floyd looking like he was scared to throw any punches.

 

Paul Appleby's last fight.

 

Top shout. I think it was so dissapointing because you felt he might be able to pull it out if the hat one last time, but instead he grew old in front of our eyes. It was disappointing that there and then we realised floyd was toying, and shane could do **** all about it

 

Simpson vs Smith- I expected Simmo to stop Smith. But he never really got going. I thought he won but he didn't produce the display i expected and then when chips are down he goes to Belfast and puts on career best display.
