Thaxton v Stewart - British Lightweight Title Fight!

If you had met Limond max, you would understand why characters like my good self shout 'gaun yersel wullie!!!' when hes fighting! Limond is that kind of fella that you cant help but cheer him like mad, & of course, hes from my city:deal

I havent followed Stewarts career as closely as Limonds, & of course I will still be cheering him on against Thaxton, but I think John will have too much experience for him. & of course, beating Thaxton isnt on the same planet prestige wise as getting Khans scalp, so Im not as hyped about this one for those reasons. It takes a BIG fight for me to use the 'gaun yersel!' catchphrase

 

keep this one quiet right dunk. :yep

cos we all know the jocko don't stand a chance in hell against thaxton.

 

Thats what I already said earlier on this very same thread, I dont think Stewart will win this fight. Now if I wanted to 'keep this one quiet' I wouldnt have posted 3 times on this thread now, would I

Enjoy the Thaxton victory HH1, but remember this, Im looking at the bigger picture, cos I want Khan to hammer him Why? Cos Thaxton tried to take all the credit for Limonds fine performance against the rising star.

All this "Limond put him down, so that automatically means I would destroy him" malarkay he was coming out with after that fight, now I want Khan to show Thaxton just how good Limonds performance was by handing Thaxton a beating:smoke So I cant lose with this one. Then theres the possibility of a Thaxton- Limond also fight, one which really whets my big scottish appetite:good

So Im not losing too much sleep over this one. Stewart is talented but no spring chicken anymore, & hes had a bad career upbringing with too many 4 & 6 rounders, & that doesnt prepare you well for a step up aginst an experienced & wily old campaigner like Thaxton.

I hope I am wrong though

 

To be fair to kahn he's a young guy and althougth of late has seemed abit cocky has always come across as a nice enough guy to me. You need to have confidence and ego to become a top boxer and in terms of arrogance he is no eubank or prince naz.

 

Khan by koand Thaxton by UD.

I doubt we will be any closer to them fighting each other because Khan will be on a different level within the next 18 months. Maybe not as a boxer but but in world standing terms.

 

Yes i can understand your point but both of those guys where very arrogant before they had any success, i hope kahn tries to calm himself down abit but he is no worse than half of the other boxer's about.

 

wake up & smell the coffee, & read between the lines. OK, so you like Limond, & I applaud you for that. But as I say read Thaxtons comments. hes not being nice, hes basically saying Limond is an inferior version of himself.

Sorry for not agreeing with your good sentiments, but you must learn to read between the lines before you tell me how it is.

Im not stupid you know, & I dont appreciate newbies like yourself talking to me like I am some sort of imbecile:nono

man, I have been following boxing since the 80's, before many people here were even born. & patronising posts like these annoy me.

DMC, over & out.

 

It also quite funny that you think a boxer should say they have been hurt by another fighter, when pretty much all boxers will not admit such things, further to this saying i wanted the title more than the other guy is a pretty standard saying and isn't meant to insult.

 

some people seem to judge khan quite negatively based on what he says in these press conferences. personally i think they are mostly just for show anyway, and don t really reflect fighters properly. but in the eyes of many people on forums like this khan always seems to be the ****, no matter what he says. in this case, he s an arrogant wanker basically cos he thinks thaxton is slow and can be beaten easily. but no one has mentioned the fact that he stated thaxton was a good boxer.
yet when thaxton says, khan s got talent but i ll knock him out, its just fact and not insulting at all, if anything its respectful cos thaxton is a down to earth fella, one of us, not minted and blinged out like khan...blahblahblah. i do think there is a degree of double standards in the khan debate. on a slightly different note, and maybe its just me, but it seems like everyone khan fights becomes the next poster boy for the image the ideal british boxer. he s humble and dedicated, without ego and a true lover of boxing etc. the media go mental for it. willie limond s a carpenter, we all know that now, if we already. lawson s parents own a green grocers, are good folk from stoke, or something along those line.
anyway, hope to see thaxton fight khan soon, and you won t suprised to hear that i d be routing for khan.

 

Dunky, chill out. Elle is a good guy (or girl). I'm sure he/she wasn't patronising.

I think he/she makes good points.

Take a chill pill phil.
