Gennady Golovkin vs. Canelo Álvarez: Sept 16 2017 - Official thread

A lot of casuals think that as soon as a guy comes forward he's no longer "boxing"... like it's not because unless you are dancing around some brawler

 

It's not boxing *

 

Why can't we edit anymore

 

You should be able to. Upload a screenshot of your post.

 

I can edit my posts

 

Clearly a perfectionist like Clogg doesn't need the frivolous edit function

 

LOL @ Sly's new position "Don't take my word for it, take the star of Love & Basketball's word. He knows the deal!"

 

I've got nothing for editing

 

If you're going to go on tirade about how all of the Puerto Ricans should be shipped back to Cuba on the burrito boats from where they came stand by it and don't try to backtrack with the aid of an edit function.

 

I reckon clogg is using IE, use Firefox and you'll see the edit button.

 

I believe clogg also uses Altavista for searching and DOS as his operating system because they are closer to 1980s

 

Defo DOS, and before he upgraded to DOS a couple of years ago, he was probably using an Acorn. And either Altavista or Hotbot, not sure which.

 

ah.....Fuck off.

I happen to agree with his reasoning...except the part about GGG not knowing how to box.

 

Clogg has loads of fights recorded on his Betamaz player and he is figuring out a way to move them to his Atari on floppy disks

 

It will get easier once he transfers them to VHS.

 

Funny how, 3 weeks on, hardly anyone (comparitively speaking) is talking about this fight in the media.

 

All I know is, all my friends, acquaintances, and even some co-workers, are all talking about it.

 

Boxing fans.

This fight isn´t being talked about a tenth of what Mayweather x McGregor was the week leading up to it.

 

This is surprising to you?

He has no choice because he goes around correcting people. :)

 

Yeah. I honestly thought after May-Mac, that would all be forgotten and people would, given the level of profile it raised for the sport of Boxing, the momentum would continue and all would focus on Golovkin x Alvarez.


Sports is shit these days..

 

Feebs, is it getting much attention in the UK?

 

More than the usual boxing match not involving a UK fighter or Floyd, but not a huge amount. It is apparently on PPV this weekend, which is very rare for a non UK fighter/Floyd fight.

Can't they promote Canelo as Scottish?

 

Does he drink Irn-Bru?

So, for all I hear about Boxing ´thriving´ in the UK, it still seems that is specific to domestic fighters (Joshua, DeGale, Groves, Frampton, etc)?

 

Hut claimed to have a few with him the other day.

 

It would be much bigger here if it were being broadcast on Sky, unfortunately, as opposed to BoxNation. They have a much bigger reach that will bring in the casuals and they're annoyingly good at promotion.

 

I thought you knew some people in the broadcasting business.

 

I've had words mate
