Good to see the WBC holding a fair and open inquiry into all the events surrounding the fight before coming to a decision.

Boxing governing bodies make FIFA look like paragons of sporting virtue. The likes of Sulaiman must be a very rich man by now, with a large collection of used brown envelopes.

WBC showing themselves to be a bunch of hypocrites. They didn't stop Tyson fighting for the WBC belt after his conviction or his ear biting. They haven't banned Margarito for loading his gloves and the likes of Mayorga and Hopkins have said and done some deporable things out of the ring, yet they don't receive such treatment.

Totally one sided fight tonight and pretty embarrassing for the heavy weight division.

On a side note Vitali and Haye need to either get the contract signed or cut out the crap as it's getting really boring now.

However much I try, I just can't be convinced by Wladimir Klitschko as a top class heavyweight.

The guy has all the attributes of a classic bully....All intimidation, but with the underlying knowledge that somebody at some point is going to find you out, by landing one on your chin and exposing you for what you are.

Yes, he is dominating a poor division, and for the first time I'd say he is the better of the two brothers, but I really believe a half decent heavyweight would take him apart.

Haye tweeting about Vitali fight again. I thought he was retired. Stop pi55ing about and earn a shot back at the title ffs.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Mar 04, 2012 12:53 pm  

And agree with the above post. As much as I like Wladimir K outside the ring, inside the ring he is a borderline dirty, boring, negative fighter who is horrible to watch. He may have a great record but his tactics are dreadful.

Groves has pulled out of the Anderson fight because of injury. However it looks like he maybe stepping in for Mikel Kessler against Steiglitz for WBO title in April. http://www.boxingscene.com/robert-stieglitz-ready-groves-annoyed-with-kessler--50552
