    3 as of last year. The last two have a few laughs, but they're a pimple on the ass of the original.

    He's Sky's golden boy and they're heavily invested in him. He has two Ws on his CV that should be Ls and it just gets swept under the carpet and both he, Sky, and his fans on social media act like that neither fight was controversial at all and then boast about him beating all these undefeated opponents :facepalm:


    He was getting completely schooled and well on his way to losing against Sam Hyde too before the freak eye injury. Fair enough with that one because he caused the injury but he was very lucky in that one too.

    Massey does have a very good chin and he stood up to some huge shots in that one. Very good chin + Aries + CW Level = potential upset :deal:

    :deal: Hyde was handling him with ease. That was some Guido Vianello level luck Sam had.:ohno Although who am I kidding, they'd have robbed him blind regardless.

    With even more weight on him, Massey might be unstoppable. His chin might be twice as good.:deal:

    Riakporhe will probably lose a lot of rounds and then getting the kill shot against a shopworn, rapidly declining and in the meanwhile very glassy Glowacki. Glowacki in his prime would have beaten the living crap out of RR with absolute ease. Remember Glowacki even giving Usyk a tough night. But the version of Glowacki is long gone unfortunately and this matchup between him and RR was made for a reason. Giving RR a HLreel KO win against a well known name. I wouldn't overthink this one.

    I do agree with the Parker/Massey fight. Massey will surprise many people out there and will probably make it razor close. He's really underrated and can take a lot of damage while still digging for the Win. It was impressive how many big shots he took against RR and how he survived in the end. Parker should get the W but it won't be easy imo.

    I don't think Massey has a chance. Dave Allen sparred with him a few weeks ago and said he'd be shocked if Massey wins.

    Is there a RBR repository?? The search function on this site doesn't do the best job.

    Dave Allen is a clown and talks so much BS i wouldn't really count on his blah blah tbh. Especially if he's talking about sparring sessions. And i didn't say Massey will win but i think the fight will be closer as many people think.

    You might be right to be fair will be interesting. Dave Allen though tends to be right about these things. He said Fury was one of the hardest punchers he's sparred before he knocked out Wilder in fights 2 and 3, and he also said that Lopez would beat Lomachenko because when he was sparring Usyk in Ukraine, one of Usyk's team members said that Lomachenko will lose because he's too small.

    Massey should have stayed at Cruiserweight because Boxxer have a lot of fighters there in Britain - Okolie, Rhiakpohre, Chris-Billam Smith, Isaac Chamberlain, Michael Lawal...

    Yeah it was. I'm not even sure if they would've been able to get away with robbing Hyde because IIRC he won every round clearly or virtually every round

    Could be albeit I got the impression from watching an interview that Massey wasn't planning on coming in heavier or barely heavier at all than what he weighed in the ring at up at CW Level. I might be wrong about that though

    Riakporhe has added a new defensive string to his bow of late in addition to the holding

    I noticed the last time he fought he was throwing the pawing air jab a lot to keep the opponent at bay which is basically a sneaky way to stiff-arm without technically breaking the rules. I expect to see him do it again tomorrow night

    Yes. It's not that Allen is particularly insightful as a boxing analyst, but he has inside experience and often tells the public what the industry is saying behind closed doors.
