The rave thread

menoscemo · 2013-11-09 14:48:35

We have the rant thread so why not have a rave thread where we can celebrate everything that's great about running and life in general. Rave: I have got a great weeks training in for the first time in months. It's Saturday afternoon and I have already done 57 of my 60 miles done for the week with a couple of good sessions.…

Presume that would have gone in the Rant thread if it was still there ! Agree about your thread - could have been interesting in a light hearted way - think we need room for a bit of craic around here

If you have a problem with my posts report them to a MOD instead whinging on this thread.

It's actually win-win for Lee. They still fight and he takes his $1m purse, but even if he loses he keeps his world title.

Very disappointing from Quillin not to make weight but I am still looking forward to the fight.

I'd Imagine he'll be docked, I think sometimes in the contracts it might mean whatever he is docked actually goes to Lee?

I'd say Walshb would know more than me though. One to ask in the Boxing forum...

Yea there's usually a clause in the contract if your overweight you're fined. There was a fight while back where it was 100g per pound. Can't remember which, possibly Canello v Mayweather. Can u recall memo?

Pretty sure that was Canelo because Mayweather asked him to get right down to a catchweight (152 from his normal 154) and the suspicion was that he wouldn't make it.

Not sure if there would have been such a clause here though? I doubt anyone would have seen this coming.
Either way i don't think Andy's purse will be affected though it probably puts him at a disadvantage in the fight itself.

Is a rematch a given here or is that Quillin back to the end of the queue?

Probably not, I don't think anyone would have thought Quillen would come in over, in a title fight he probably would've won.

Lee will have to fight Billy Joe Saunders next (british guy, beat Chris Eubank's son last time out). Saunders is the mandatory challenger; he was paid a fee to 'step aside' for this fight with a guarantee he gets a shot next.
Quillin had given up the title as he didn't want to fight Lee's last opponent. He seems to have big backers though and he literally made Lee an offer he couldn't refuse to fight him.

Basically Quillin has messed up big time here.

JMM and Floyd had a weight stipulation where Floyd weighed heavy and paid a heavy fine. Without doubt the most high profile case.

"During the official weigh in for their 144 lb bout, Marquez weighed in at 142 lbs and Mayweather weighed in at 146 lbs thereby incurring a financial penalty ($300,000 for each pound over 144 lbs."

Great fight from Andy lee last night!!
I gave it to him by a round but maybe a draw is fair enough.

Congrats.

When you're of a certain vintage like Murph or I, that's a rant
