Oh noo mate I thought he was fecking Australian!!

I obviously knew he was such, but the British media have made it clear they do not like him, so he's not their big hope.

Try being pedantic a bit harder next time though.

I'm pretty sure that Anthony Joshua did't go to boarding school.

I'm also certain that I played on a Minor team that hammered you 'tough' Strabane lads in a county final...

Yet he is fighting half the size of fury in his home town and bleeding from the face. But Fury not getting hit at all in 10 rounds with a clean face is such a let down. Don't show your bias too much.

Anthony Joshua reveals how beatings at boarding school instilled discipline --- yet.... In 2009, Joshua was put on remand in Reading Prison for what he describes as "fighting and other crazy stuff". He was made to wear an electronic tag on his ankle when released.

In March 2011, Joshua was pulled over by the police for speeding in Colindale, North London. He was found with 8 ounces of herbal cannabis hidden in a sports bag in his Mercedes-Benz. He was charged with possession with intent to supply a class B drug, an offence that carries a maximum 14-year sentence. Joshua was suspended from GB boxing squad and was sentenced to a 12-month community order and 100 hours' unpaid work after pleading guilty at crown court

What a terrible star for the sport. The Great British hope as I've said.

#2 point, stay on the topic of boxing please. You're embarrassing.

I never knew that AJ went to boarding school, knoew he had a cloudy past though. I'm not his biggest fan so i won't try to defend him. as Others have said, calling him a 'nonce' is out of order.

On Point 2, I doubt you are actually from Strabane or even Tyrone

Strabanimal · 18-08-2018 10:59pm

You can tell Jackson has very little power in his loaded punches at all. Looks like he'll need to load a very good combo to win.

With a history just for what he actually got caught for. Coming from a boarding school privileged upbringing. Using urban American slang when speaking. Not fighting Wilder, and not impressing in any fight he's fought in so far yet being a HW.

Yeah seems like the definition of an overrated nonce to me.

bobbyss · 18-08-2018 11:04pm

Don't know much about boxing but was Barnes hit in the stomach and down he goes? Never saw that happen before. Is that normal?

He got a bang on his solar plexus and down he went. The punch was not below the belt so was legit.

Yeah people from Strabane are understandable and not culchies with bootcut jeans and plaid shirts talking about their motors. Outside of the Tyrone GAA team I never associate myself with the county. Doesn't seem like you do either, enjoy your British boxing hype machine and watching the EPL.

No never. As I said I don't know much about boxing. I thought body shots were to wear the opponent down and then a ko to the face?
Where is this solar plexus? Barnes fell like the proverbial sack of potatoes. Why do boxers punch the waist? Is it to hit the solar plexus or to soften someone up?

Are you being sarcastic? I didn't see the fight. Just logged on here to see result/commentary

If you were ever on the end of such a dig , sunk right in to the "sweet spot", you'd feckin' know about it. The wind just goes out of your body. You'll just crumple.

You can get stunned with a punch to the head and potentially stay up for long enough to recover through pure muscle memory and experience. But when you get hit properly to the body, you're only going in one direction - and that's down.

No I won't!
Pretty sure I haven't seen you at any Tyrone games this year, because you weren't there!
What part of Strabane are you from, what's your club?

Strabanimal · 18-08-2018 11:30pm

GGG got Macklin with a bodyshot.

Livershots happen all the time in MMA too. I was just thinking of the recent discussion about people never seeming to overcome them after they get hit in the liver hard and clean. Watch Scott Smith vs Pete Sell, only time I've seen a comeback. Smith suffered a few broken ribs from that body shot and looked in worse pain after the fight than the guy he knocked out did.

anthonyjmaher · 19-08-2018 7:45am

Who was up there last night, lads? Just wondering what is was actually like in the p1ssing rain?

I heard Tyson in the Post Fight Press Conference saying that the Belfast crowd gave him such a great response on the ring walk. Said it was the most epic ring walk ever - it didn't seem like that on the TV.

No, not being sarcastic at all. Just ignorant of boxing.

The solar plexus is that part of your body where you get winded, where the stuffing gets knocked out of you, more or less?

But as I said before I have never seen a boxer been hit in the solar plexus before and collapse as Barnes did. At first I thought he was caught under the belt.

Is being caught in the solar plexus common in boxing? Or was it just a lucky punch from yer man? When boxers hit the body, is it to 'find' the solar plexus or just to generally weaken the opponent?

I would have seen Muhammad Ali box often. How often did he KO someone by finding the solar plexus?

thegrowreport · 19-08-2018 4:36pm

aaand back on topic:

what did people think of Fury? I have not seen it yet - was he all that good? Was he a 'heavyweight Sugar Ray Leonard' as he said he would be?
Is he REALLY back? Will he be good enough for Wilder or (as I suspect) he has talked his way back into one final big payday and then ride off into the sunset.

Poor ould Paddy Barnes. That finish looked painful. Where for him now? Few more fights to make a few quid or can he come back as a threat in the flyweight division?

And good for Carl Frampton. He has waited for a big night at Windsor Park and he got it in spades last night! Would love to see an all Irish Bantam weight unification bout between him and the newest Irish boxing champ - TJ Doheny!

If you google "Arturo Gatti" you will see what a good boxer can do with his body shots. I remember watching him years ago absolutely levelling a guy with a body shot, so much so that about 5 minutes after when the camera panned around the ring the lad was still down buckled with pain!!

He just about made featherweight for this fight, not a hope he gets back down to fight at super bantam

Fury looks to be miles away from fighting Joshua. And he w'ont be prepared by fighting the likes of that guy on Saturday.

But then again he c'ant take a risk at this stage.

Barnes has shown nothing in his short pro career before last night to suggest he'd be ready for a world title.
He had the perfect opportunity last night against someone who isn't great but might still be improving due to his age.
Barnes biggest issue for me from day one is his engine.

I've been reading online about him not being ready yet.

I don't think it has much to do with this. 6 fights or 60. He is who he is.

Little too weak for me to be at elite level. He has the punch mechanics and fluidity, but he has no power and no physical strength really. If he had a decent punch and some size/strength he would have beaten that lad the other night.

Paddy won't be able to keep off strong fighters who can punch.....he's just not strong enough, and he is no defensive master.

There's more to it than that though isn't there?
Say Wayne McCullough for instance.
I wouldn't have classed him as strong or a defensive master.
Yet if Wayne was in with that level of opponent that Barnes faced the other night, I reckon he would have wiped the floor with him.
