cuttsie Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) In other words a boxing match. I love boxing as a sport , Our own Sheffield lot of pro's and amateur's have done us proud over the years But what's happening now , Last night I watched Aknthony Johoshua OBE spar against some Finnish bloke who only a week ago was laying on beach on holiday . Before the fight started the scenes on TV are some thing out of fantasia land , A lass playing a violin slowly descending through clouds playing some symphony in F , This followed by THE RING WALK , this comprises of the main protagonists descending through the same clouds dressed in pink or some other crazy outfit . Meanwhile in the ring (boxing) A bloke in trousers so tight and his hair in bun bellows , I mean bellows( it is louder than a jet taking off to Majorca). Bellows that the name of the contestants are just that , and they are from LONDON in the Country of ENGLAND . or where ever . Also in the ring many hangers on are on parade , some in shiny suites with madallions of gold hanging around the neck . These charactures strut around the ropes pointing ,waving , threatening and posing at various ring side celebs accompanied by the lady wife or current escort . The contest its self then starts with a shuffle around for a few rounds before our hero decides its time to end it all and knock out the bloke who was sun bathing on a beach just days ago . The chap goes down like a log , lays there for a second or two then jumps up looking no worse for ware and proceeds to his corner to pats on the back from all and sundry . And thats not it we then get the organiser or promoter or whatever he is , shouting out that the next opponent had better get ready "we are coming for you". . The winner then thanks the Finnish lad for being the loser hugging him and whispering in his ear no doubt telling him to enjoy his couple of million quid and go back to the beach until the next call utp, Bring on Fury , bring on the Gypsy King the shout goes up . They must be daft if they think that will happen , he is burried at Shire Green . Edited August 13, 2023 by cuttsie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say exactly the same - well done Cuttsie Boxing is spoilt by all the American razzmatazz - gets worse with every fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It's unfortunately become like WWE, it's just a complete circus. Now and again you get a decent match up but watching them come to the ring in costumes and the pantomime of it all is embarrassing. Tyson, just walked to the ring, black shorts, got on with job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone paying to watch these fights is an absolute moron. Hopefully Cuttsie has a magic firestick he uses, otherwise I am very disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Used to enjoy boxing but as I have got older I would not watch 2 blokes trying to do maximum damage to each other. If you have ever seen an heavyweight hitting the large swinging bag in training you would realise the power behind those punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's not strictly true, she last won a tour match in March. She is in the advert for the simple reason people know who she is. If you put her and the current British women's #1 side by side, the vast majority would recognise Raducanu. I would wager 99% of people couldn't even name who the current ladies British #1 is off the top of their heads.
