Cant see a full thread about boxing. Its my second sport after football. Some fantastic British fighters around and obviously we have Joshua. Kell Brook got a big fight soon and even though hes not British Shannon Briggs has a world title fight in a few months. Have you seen his wind ups on Klitschko and Haye? Funny as fuck.

Shannon Briggs is like thrust. No one likes it, and everyone wishes it'd fuck off.

On the subject of boxing... I went to see Jawbone last night. Fantastic boxing film and deals with the difficult subject of addiction very well.
A lot was filmed in Stoke and they used a lots of local fighters for most of the gym scenes. Former 2 times English Lightweight Champion and local lad Scott Lawton was the sparring partner during the training scenes too.
Some excellent performances from the actors and some of the best and most realistic boxing action put to film since Raging Bull.
A highly recommended view.

Shannon Briggs is like thrust. No one likes it, and everyone wishes it'd fuck off. If you knew his story you would change your mind ( if you had a heart). His dad left when he was young and his mum was a full blown heroin and crack addict ( including when she was pregnant meaning he was born 2lbs only). She overdosed on his birthday and he was homeless from the age of 13 to 20. He was born with a dodgy lung and has asthma. Also when he fought Vitali in 2010 he tore his bicep in round 1 and he got battered for 11 rounds ( one of the worst I've ever seen in heavyweight boxing). He was in hospital for 2 weeks then suffered from depression for 2 years constantly thinking about suicide). His daughter was born and hes now out of his slump and positive. He didnt get paid for the Vitali fight either but It's too complex to explain on here, he didnt get 1 dollar. I think he's done well personally.

Leeds boy Josh Warrington fights for the wbc international featherweight title v Martinez whose no mug, hes took Frampton 12 rounds and fought Quigg and Santa cruz.
British and mexican dominate the featherweight division but I'm not sure Josh will be a world champion but time will tell.

Enjoyed watching Kal Yafai retain his world title (easily) Saturday night. His brother Gamal put his opponent down six times before the ref stopped it. Never seen that before! Most people were there to watch Sam Eggington, shame they didn't stick around for Kal's big night.

Most people were there to watch Sam Eggington, shame they didn't stick around for Kal's big night. His opponent was hard as nails ( like most Japenese I suppose). Hes a very good fighter but got a lot to learn. Even Kal said his hand was hurting cause he punched him that many times. Wasnt impressed with Josh Warrington he ain't good enough be a world contender.

Most people were there to watch Sam Eggington, shame they didn't stick around for Kal's big night. Mega impressed with Gamal. He gave that Sean Davies some seriously hard body shots but he just kept getting up and still came forward. The Japanese guy was also another little hard nut that game kal a long night

NO i just said hes fighting thats it, he aint world level but the competition at his weight level is fierce.

Some superb up and coming fights in the next few months. Ggg v Canelo, brook v spence and will groves finally get a world title at the 4th time of asking? Groves is very good indeed but just comes short at the vital time ( like the froch fights).

Absolutely over the moon for Groves. Cracking fight and definitely the right call by the ref.
Brook sounded like he was proper shitting it in his interview. Think Spence wins this one, hopefully I'm wrong
