He’s better than that Bryan, come on ?
Bryan@brysy26

@ClonesCyclone Put it this way if Benn finds himself going the distance I'll be surprised. He's British level at best.

Agreed Jeremy based on Benn’s performance against Prograis you’d have Garcia favourite BUT you can’t write him out.

@ClonesCyclone No doubt Benn is a tough cookie but after watching the fight against Prograis, i just don’t see him beating Garcia.

Boxing fans how do you see this potentially explosive encounter going between RyanGarcia and ConorBenn for the WBC Welterweight Title in September in Vegas ? It’s got the potential to be a firecracker mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/c…

I don’t think there’s a safer way of doing it Craig. So as long as both boxers are going through the same procedure as in drying out then there is no advantage for either boxer. Certain boxers will have more difficulty making weight but they can always move up to the next weight.

@ClonesCyclone Barry, this has been going on for decades in boxing. But it does put boxers at risk. Do you think there's a solution to this, or a better way of doing things which would be safer for the fighters?

I got stopped in my last fight because I had a laceration of eyebrow not because I was hurt by any punches. It was simply because my eyebrow was hanging open and it was in a dreadful state so the referee called the fight off. The hardest puncher I faced was Juan Laporte 100%
AndrewP@aydeepee

@ClonesCyclone Who was the hardest hitter you faced? I know you got stopped for the first time in your last fight but who had the punches that stunned you the most?

Agreed Craig every boxer is busting his ass to get as light as he can so that when he rehydrates he can be as strong as he can be. It’s no secret and if you’re not doing it you are going to be at a clear disadvantage because your opponent will surely be doing it.
The Boxing Flamingo@Boxing_Flamingo

Barry, I'm not disputing that fighters cut weight for a reason. And that reason is not a secret. I'm just astounded that people who claim to be boxing experts are equating weight with height. So this dude is asking if a tall guy is a weight bully (or cheat) because he's tall for his weight class. Which is obviously a nonsense. 🥊🥊

Yes he did have to take a knee on both knockdowns in the 1st and the 3rd. It can sometimes be an automatic reaction, you get stunned with a punch and before you know it your on your knees. The funny thing is that it’s different with every boxer, how they react when punched.
Dan@Dan20665181

@ClonesCyclone showed balls against Wardley and put on a fantastic performance, but without his Dad and Don Charles mentoring in his corner, he was out of there! Yes a flash knock down, but did he have to take a knee in the second? Yes I didn’t read your text properly Apologies Long day 🤷‍♂️

Who’s trying to insult your intelligence Dan ? What I’ve said is that DDD showed bollocks against Wardley having been down twice and getting up to battle his way back into the fight and turn things around and win. Did he show a lack of bottle against Joyce maybe, he was gassed.
Dan@Dan20665181

@ClonesCyclone He’s definitely quit 3 times now🤷‍♂️ ,he practically was spitting the gum shild out moments before quitting on Usyk 2 Would I get in the ring with these guys? Noooo!! Is DDD a beast when the mind is correct? Definitely But please Barry, don’t try insult our intelligence 👍

“He’s got absolutely no boxing character” With respect, what does that comment mean ? I understand if you say he’s got no boxing skills, or he’s not good on his feet but “he’s got no boxing character” just doesn’t make sense to me ?
daz boot 🇮🇹@FacileTalk

@ClonesCyclone He's got absolutely no boxing 'character' though. Would you see that as a problem in the future after the 'oldies' have retired?

Those that call DDD a quitter haven’t the slightest idea of what it takes to get to that level in boxing, and to call a fighter a quitter is the greatest insult. Truth is Daniel is vulnerable at times (see Usyk fights) but he’s incredibly brave getting of the floor twice to win.
bigshot@bigshotgeordie

@ClonesCyclone All the people saying Daniel D is a quitter ?? Maybe he’s just got it right. Live to fight another day. He has 🥊
