Might of already been posted but newish boxing podcast has started up https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/pound-for-pound-with-jake-wood-and-spencer-oliver/id1331551486?mt=2 pound for pound . I still prefer sky,s toe to toe but first 10 episodes are good , especially one with Tyson fury who talks about his drinking sessions when not in camp . Also his warm up technique before sparing is interesting :-)

Seen this yesterday on BBC website , but not seen anything posted on here about it yet ?
Jimmy Nicholl will be the new assistant manager of Rangers.
The former Ibrox player, currently number two with Falkirk, will leave his job at the Championship club after Tuesday's game against Dunfermline.
Northern Irishman Nicholl, 61, had an earlier period coaching at Rangers, taking the reserve team under Graeme Souness in the 1980s.
Now he will assist Graeme Murty, who has been assured he will be in charge of Rangers until the end of the season.
Nicholl, who also had a spell as a player at Manchester United and managed Raith Rovers to a Scottish League Cup win in 1994, will also continue to work with Northern Ireland, having assisted their manager Michael O'Neill since 2015.
Remember him the 1st time around, hopefully will be a good knowledgeable influence on Murty . Not sure what will happen to Jonatan Johansson.

it wasnt his greatest performance but people have him losing and i cant see it, think people seeing him lose wanted him to get beat, im a wee bit biased maybe because im from Belfast but i love my boxing and cant see a lose for him. Garcia was tough and put in a decent shift. carl couldve made it easier for himself but made a few mistakes and didnt look himself at times, fitness was a issue but he win this fight.
he better step his game up after this, maybe he was just to confident? dunno but it was a decent fight for the crowd.
Think he wins the fight , enjoyed it , was a good contest . Think if his fitness was higher he wouldn't of been covering up on the ropes as much, taking shots , he would of been on his bike more picking his shots from distance like at the start of the bout.

It wasnt the best frampton performance, watching the first 3-4 rounds where he was using his feet and jab, some of his shots where mouth watering shots. i just think the second part of the fight was lazy from him, i gave him the first 4 rounds and 3 outa the last 6. it was like he was going thro the motions but the fight was entertaining and i think carl could have win every round if this guy was a world champion. Garcia done well but i think carl knew what to expect before the fight.

But I saw on twitter Stuart Dallas put up a dig about Frampton's knockdown (which was correct) and insinuated the referees were against him.
Yet again, some of the scorecards were ridiculous. Frampton wasn't at his best last night, far from it.
just finished watching it , had Frampton clearly winning 1st 3 rounds , then struggling with fitness from halfway through, Would only take a point off for the round with the knockdown/slip. Think he wins by a couple of points at most . 98-93 97-93 96-93 scorecards are way off.

It looked like Eggintons team were going ballistic at him before that final round.
Minoune deserved the win.
They could tell he was behind , trying to shock him into drastic measures. Sam was pretty gracious in defeat .
-
Sam Eggington just lost his title to French guy Mimoune . He looked knackered in later rounds

Anyone any idea what time Burns v Corolla ring walk is scheduled for ?
-
Was a good busy fight , without loads of grappling / holding . Think Linares punches seem to have more spite in them .
-
Was surprised when I read who wrote the article as well this aft. Makes some decent points

good fight between Linaers and Campbell, i said i thot Linares was diff level but the fight was really close and if Campbell stays on his feet in the second he wins the fights for me it was that close. good fight.

Just come out his dad died a couple of weeks ago but they kept it quite as not to give Linares any advantage

he was one of my boyhood hero's, ...still is one of Scotlands finest ever cyclist,...... . https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jul/06/philippa-york-gender-transition-cyclist-robert-millar
‘“Being blessed with a talent doesn’t proscribe you from having to deal with all the other stuff that life brings,” says Philippa York when asked about the transition process from being the cyclist Robert Millar.
“It always amazed me that somehow people, fans, whoever thought that because you could ride, run or jump faster then you never had any of the issues that ordinary people had or will have.” And there in a nutshell is why her story matters: it is about much, much more than sport.
Robert Millar was one of the greatest British cyclists ever, and one of the finest of Scottish sports stars, winning the King of the Mountains prize in the Tour de France in 1984, and finishing fourth overall that year, second in the 1985 and 1986 Tours of Spain, and in the 1987 Giro d’Italia. There were three mountain stage wins in the Tour, all in the Pyrenees. Now, York does not want that to be forgotten but she feels it is time that her new identity was put in the public sphere.
A statement on Thursday night on the cyclingnews.com website revealed to the world that, as York said: “As much as I’ve guarded my privacy over the years there are a few, I believe obvious, reasons to why I haven’t had a public ‘image’ since I transitioned. Gratifyingly, times have moved on from 10 years ago when my family, friends and I were subjected to the archaic views and prejudice that some people and certain sections of the tabloid media held.”
Asked how she has dealt in recent years with the fact that the world of cycling had one image of her and she had another, York says: “I can only deal with that by putting the Robert part of my life into one box and the life I live now into another.
“What I did before wasn’t done by the person I am now so it’s not a case of changing history. I think for most people looking at this from the outside that’s the easiest way for them to process it. That’s my opinion – others may disagree and that’s fine.”
She adds: “I’ve known I was different since I was five years old, [but] what that difference was and how to deal with it has taken a fairly long time to come to terms with – all I will say is it hasn’t been an overnight process. There’s no one story line that fits everyone. For me personally, until given the right information there wasn’t a feeling of being trapped, rather it was more a case of the life I was living wasn’t the one I felt I ought to be having.”
Robert Millar has been a prominent writer – for example on these pages putting together the annual guide to the teams of the Tour de France – and also worked as a national coach in 1997. In the next few weeks, York will work providing commentary on the Tour de France for ITV4, which prompted her decision to go public. As for the future, she will continue in the same vein.

“Hopefully my occasional writing will continue, a return to doing some media and more cycling-related things are a possibility. I’ll assess how the commentary with ITV4 goes and then take it from there but it would be good to expand my horizons.”
This is not a campaigning move but the fact that York has become the first high‑profile former cyclist to go public about making the step of gender transition may, she hopes, help a sport that has always been conservative in its attitude to gender and sexuality move forwards. This is a sport that lagged behind when it came to letting women compete, where there is still a massive disparity between men’s and women’s cycling in cash and prestige and where only last week a professional rider felt able to make disparaging comments about podium girls in an interview before being slapped down.
LGBT issues are barely ever raised in cycling, which is why York’s going public is a key moment; she is taking the sport into new territory.
“Hopefully, the way that attitudes have progressed in general towards sexuality and gender issues, then some of that understanding and tolerance will gradually filter down into the realms of sport.
“It’s a fairly ridiculous situation that there are no prominent gay people in the mainstream sports. It’s a crazy situation that the rest of the world has percentages of gay, lesbian trans people and yet sport doesn’t.
“It’s been the case that anyone thought to be different has been singled out for ridicule or presented as some kind of danger and yet outside of sport that attitude isn’t tolerated.
“It’s strange but at least nowadays the opportunity to be listened to and explain some of the issues encountered are available.
“Sport has generally lagged behind in its attitudes to anything other than the heterosexual norm, in that context cycling has been one of the sports most resistant to change,” says York. “It’ll catch up eventually.”

This grandstanding pish puts me off a boxer.
There's a lot to be said for the old Tyson style of no fuss, get in, do the job and get out.
probably last longer than the fight :-(
