Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted January 10, 2012 Former British welterweight champion and one-time world title contender Brian Curvis is dead at 75. He lost a points decision to Emile Griffith in his crack at the WBA/WBC gold, which reminds me I should probably check how Emile's getting on in his rest home nowadays.

sympathyforthedevil 11 Posted February 19, 2012 Will Dereck Chisora and/or David Haye end up dead in a brawl or gunfight? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/17088619 One can only hope so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 20, 2012 Chisora manages to be an embarassment in the morally and culturally bankrupt world of heavyweight boxing. That's an achievement. Bring back Andrew Golota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted February 20, 2012 Given our lack of heavyweight talent other than these two (despite his appauling failings as a human being Chisora boxed admirably over the weekend), whaddya reckon to them getting a lengthy (9 month) ban and then facing each other in the ring for decent pay-per-view sums considering they're a pair of average British heavyweights, before the year is out?

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 24, 2012 See, why bother going to all that rigmarole of "research" and "setting up google alerts" and "reading the newspapers" to find out the health of your DDP picks when you can just ask people on Twitter? Dom @ichlugebullets @bigdaddybunce Have you got an update on Mickey Duff's health? I heard he was on his last legs over Christmas... Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce @ichlugebullets I'm on it. Thanks.

maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted March 10, 2012 Heard today that Dave Charnley - aka The Dartford Destroyer - died earlier in the month,aged 76. Fierce lightweight who still holds a record because his 1962 destruction of Darkie Hughes in a British title fight is still the shortest lightweight title fight in UK history. 40 seconds, including the count!

maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted May 1, 2012 Did anyone else see the healthy and (fairly) sane Frank Bruno being given Piers Morgan's shallow as a spoonful of spunk in depth treatment a couple of weeks back? Either way, suicide or reckeless self-endangerment via drugs and fast living seem well off the Bruno agenda at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
