  1. Wow, Lucas Matthysse. What a statement. Devastating power.
  2. You're right, Chavez isn't a title holder. His last outing was his defeat by Martinez last year, and then he had the drugs ban. I actually don't rate Chavez all that highly and fancy Murray to do a number on him. I agree that Murray does seem like a right good bloke and isn't one to shy away from a challenge! Hope he can do it.
  3. Martin Murray to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Mexico City on the 3rd of August. Another great opportunity for Murray. I hope he gets a fair crack of the whip in this one with the judges but sadly I'd imagine that will be unlikely!
  4. Present day Fernando Torres could be included. He offers absolutely nothing and doesn't even look remotely interested. His touch is abysmal, no pace at all and seems to be brushed off the ball by any centre back he comes up against.
  5. Can't disagree with any of this. I really hope Ricky can perform somewhere near his best but it will be such a big ask against a solid opponent like Senchenko. Senchenko on points is 11/1 on skybet. If he gets his jab working and Hatton sticks to his usual gameplan of marching forward with his chin, Senchenko could nick a lot of the rounds on the cleaner boxing. In saying that, Malignaggi stopped Senchenko and he isn't exactly blessed with knockout power (far from it!) so maybe if Hatton can put him under serious pressure early he could get at him and force the stoppage. Either way, I can't wait to watch it.
  6. I thought he came across in a really cringeworthy manner on 'Being Liverpool'. He had a touch of the David Brent about him at times, and spoke to some of the players like they were children. I haven't been impressed with his signings so far either. Borini looked poor before he got injured, whereas Sahin and Allen have been neat and tidy without offering much else. An injury to either Suarez or Sterling and Liverpool will be in serious trouble. They have so few attacking options in the squad.
  7. Tyson Fury made me laugh out loud there. What a bizarre character he is. David Price will knock him unconscious.

    FIFA 13

    You've conveniently avoided all of my points and instead made an insulting analogy. I've played FIFA for long enough to have formed an opinion on what happens in the online play. Some games are impossible to win. Fair enough if you haven't experienced that, you must just be too good at it.

    FIFA 13

    Have you seriously never had a game where you just cannot do anything to score? It happens all the time. Passes going astray that should just go to feet, shots inexplicably going wide, unable to header the ball clear when perfectly positioned to do so...etc etc. And as for the comment about controlling all players in the team, I almost don't know what to say about that. Off the ball runs, tracking strikers, goalkeeper....how can you possibly control them all at the same time?

    FIFA 13

    The online H2H games are unbelievably scripted! What a massive waste of time.
  11. Tony Bellew stops Edison Miranda in the 9th round with an excellent body shot. Fairly cagey fight, with Bellew looking a bit tentative for the first half. Miranda was just his usual self, some wild swinging punches and a lack of workrate. Good name on Bellew's record though, and hopefully a catapult to some bigger fights. He has decent power but is actually quite an underrated boxer too. His jab can be a real weapon!
  12. This ref is beyond dreadful. Some of his decisions have been completely baffling.
  13. I've heard he makes a meal of any contact in the box.
  14. P.s. it's on the red button on the bbc
  15. It's Maynor Figueroa of Wigan. I can only assume he has scored a free kick from there before. It is totally ridiculous though, easily 40+ yards out.
  16. Disappointing, but I guess not unexpected. Kenny Anderson will be devastated at that news, especially after the fiasco the last time they were due to fight.
  17. Impressive win for Groves last night. The stoppage was particularly good, he landed 4 or 5 massive power shots. He doesn't look like he should but George Groves has undoubted KO power. The only negative was a pretty deep cut above his eye but hopefully that won't delay the Anderson fight. Really looking forward to that already.
  18. Leon Knight isn't right in the head. He is an attention seeking idiot. He filmed himself commentating on his own goals on a highlights reel. It has to be seen to be believed. Complete lunatic.
  19. Surely that can't be true? I was at Bayern v Kaiserslautern in 2010/11 and the face value of the ticket was €45. Is this a new initiative they have brought in?
  20. Why were Channel 5 showing Tyson Fury fighting a walking punch bag? Absolute farce.
  21. Agree with this 100%. The lack of Vuvuzelas at the Euros was a further positive.
  22. Matthysse is a wrecking machine! Superb performance, his power is incredible.
  23. Any idea what time Ortiz v Lopez will start mate? Is it a 4am job?
  24. Aluko was a joy to watch. The one shining light in an otherwise truly horrendous season. All the best Sone.
