    6/7 fights in past 5 calendar years...losing twice.

    In the last 5 years he fought 9 times, losing twice.

    Not sure what this 'calendar years' thing is about.

    He asked about 3 years, so I gave the answer.

    2013 - 2017 inclusive is 5 calendar years. 7 fights he had

    Love watching Josh Taylor.

    No. He had 9 fights in those 'calender' years.

    Besides, a years is 365 days. When any normal person says "the last 5 years" they mean 5 x 365 days back from today (366 for a Leap year). It's not rocket science.

    Erm, do the two fights he fought on 30 March 2013 and 16 July 2013 not count?

    The commentary on this is gas.

    Yeah it's a good scrap but worth watching for that alone.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Very entertaining card on TG4.

    Great to see Irish fighters getting a bit of exposure on national TV.

    Byrne has some heart. And chin.

    A very, very young Wayne McCullough featuring on an undercard on Boxnation right now. Great to watch.

    "If only he had a punch" I'll never forget that comment from Larry Merchant about Wayne

    Anyone got a link for Kovalev fight? Showtime have a free 7 day trial for the Wilder fight. Nice night for NY fight fans!

    Sky aren't half hyping up Wilder. Seriously overlooking Ortiz..


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Uzcategui looking very impressive here.

    Hopefully he continues to dominate and we never have to see either Dirrell again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,842 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Uzcategui dominating. Dirrell is completely washed. Be surprised if he doesn't get stopped.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Dirrell quits.

    No corner retirement. Direll quit. Simple as that.

    Now please retire and don't annoy us again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    What's the story with Uzcategui?

    Is he Mexican based, as I think he's originally Venezuelan? One of his corner has the Venezuelan colours on.

    He seems a likeable guy and he'd be a hard night's work for anyone at that weight.

    Bivol and Barrera in the ring.

    Venezuelan boxer fighting out of Mexico I think? Not 100% sure.

    He's a good fighter. Think Dirrell made him look a bit better than he is but he'd be game against most in 168 I think for sure.

    Mandatory to the DeGale-Truax rematch winner.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    ****, the heavies are in the ring already. I'm really enjoying watching Bivol, even though he's being made to work.

    Decisions, decisions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Wilder up to his usual 'don't hit me whatever you do' antics. Ortiz can win a lot of rounds by not doing a whole lot, simply cos Wilder will be doing nothing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Blanco100


    Wilder is garbage. Even the basics of his punching technique are so bad.

    Fury would box rings around him. Enjoys a huge reach advantage but doesn't know how to use it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    This really is Ortiz's to lose, as long as he doesn't get careless. He's easily outboxing a non-boxer and the pace is easy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Blanco100


    No way Ortiz gets a fair shake here if it goes to cards. No money in him being END heavyweight champ. He will need a KO


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    He got too cocky. Just keep outboxing Wilder and don't try anything fancy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,281 ✭✭✭megadodge


    I hope Ortiz didn't punch himself out.
