For F$#@k Sake man.....Morata has probably handed Juve the trophy. Gutted!

I have been bitting my fingers all day. Don't think my nerves can take this any longer

Don't know about AI being the greatest ever little man. Zeke in my book was the greatest little man.

I know we all expect GGG to win but it might be closer than we expect, who is the best boxer that GGG has faced?

Fully agree with you hence why I disagree with A40's assesment of the fight. Let's not beat around the bush here, Triple G is yet to fight anyone noteworthy. And If Martin Murray(hardly a household name) can take him to 11 rounds , then i'm sure Alvarez can last the distance.

If Spurs is your local team, then you must be a Triple showerman OG.

Once you enter Tottenham Hale station, you might as well be back in Lagos or more likely Kingston Jamaica

Na bros I go dey call you from now on.

Definitely not lagos. More like you are back in the carribean. Lived in the North pretty much most of my life(from Barnet to Tottenham to Camden to Enfield. From Islington to Muswell Hill. I've been there one time or another). Tried living in the south and the east but it just wasn't me. Felt a bit like an outsider .

Hahahaha Bros ke?.... Don't let the yardies here that o.

This is probably deepest question ever asked..

Comot there!..... They are pretty much my local team you know. I've been to white hart lane more times than most Guys have had one night stands.

A40:
Make Canelo no think am oh. Golovkin will beat him to a pulp

Nah there is no beating to a pulp here. They'll both stand in the centre of the ring and trade punches. Triple G will emerge victorious though because He has a much better Chin

afrodoc2:
One has to consider also that Amir Khan had to step up 2 weight classes to face canelo.
He boxed well but it was suicidal of him to carry his glass jaw to face a naturally much bigger man. GGG has 2 options, face Canelo or step up in weight and face Andre Ward

100% agree. Im not sure but I think I mentioned in one of my posts here. People forget He had to step up 2 weight division to face Canelo. Also let's not forget that Canelo hydrates pretty quickly in between weight ins and fight nights. However As u said, It was stup$#d of Him to fight not only a man Bigger than Him but also one considered to be a Heavy puncher.

Triple G will box Alvarez before Ward. That I am certain of .There is a huge clamour for that plus it'll be both fighters biggest pay day. If you listened to Canelo's interview straight after the bout, He pretty much said He was ready or in his own words "We don't f@#$k around here"

olabode89:
Amir Khan is a disillusioned average overhyped British athlete.... he should have stuck to beating no name British hopefuls. There is too much ducking and unecessary charade in boxing at the moment, MMA (UFC) is the real deal. Did u watch how Alistair "The Reem" made light work of Alorvksi?

UFC have got a lot of mouth-watering fights this summer. Super pissed I couldn't get a ticket for a bargain for the last show in the Netherlands.

I think the hype was justified at the beginning. Followed Amir's career since his amateur days and you could tell He was something special even as far back as 02-03. His performances at the summer olympics at Athens was nothing short of special(@17 most of us were busing chasing anything in Skirt). And to be fair to the Media, with each lose, the hype around Amir seems to dwindle

Nihilist:
Still less violent than what Danny Garcia did to him

Yet he could still run his mouth to say something like this:

‘I shut him up and put him in his place.
‘I said if you want to fight, I’m here.
‘Take away Manny Pacquiao and the last people you’ve fought, I’m a bigger name than them. It would make a lot of money.
‘He started screaming but I didn’t understand half of what he was saying.
‘He's living in his own hype. Once you retire, nobody remembers you and Mayweather is one person that not many will remember because he’s so arrogant.

I think you are being unnecessarily harsh on Amir. Most Boxers run their mouth. Infact it's the name of the sport. The more you run your mouth, the more publicity you get. People then hate on you and are willing to the pay per view figures just to watch you get knocked out(more money in the bank for you). From Ali to Sugar Ray . From Roy Jones to the dark destroyer himself. They all did it. Rather unfortunately for Amir, His Mouth is far stronger than His chin.

Roland17:
Today was the final game of his career, he scored with a cheeky chip down the center from the penalty spot for Verona, ironically, against one of his former employers Juventus, and performed his renowned celebration (rotating his right hand forward and backwards around his right ears), reminiscent of his prowess in front of goal in his prime (Fiorentina and Bayern Munich).

Great Poacher..Happy retirement Luca Toni..

Shame He never really did for the Azzuris. Great player all the same

The real beef there is between Demola and Spencer Straffmore aka A40.

I can't wait for the impending ultimate showdown to finally happen

Nah the Tag team of A40 and Dayo vs Airmark and Pataki I dey enjoy pass

Nihilist:
I think I've been pretty consistent in saying that Amir is a joke.

He's a nice coat, no knickers kind of guy. Very flash combinations are wasted when you have a glass jaw.

He should have just taken on the wincobank god Kell Brook jejely...and instead of trying to fool people into thinking he was the upper echelon of boxing.

Nah I still think He is a pretty good boxer. He simply just has a glass jaw that's all. All the more reason I think He should concentrate on his defense more than his offfence.

I have to commend His bravery though. Moving up two divisions to face one of that's division's heavy puncher is not to be sniffed at. The fight I can't wait for is Triple G vs Canelo. Should be a cracker

Nihillist

Did you watch the Amir Khan fight? Even though I knew He would loose, I still had high hopes for him. Shame though as I Was really rooting for him. And tbh He was doing really well til He go Ko'd. He was up 4-1 I think.

Also to all those naysayers saying Prettyboy should have given Canelo another shot, I say Fall back. Floyd would have fought the same way Khan did this morning with the only difference being He would had him sussed out by round 5-6.

God please take Baba Rahman and his sponsor away from us.

I wasn't aware they won the Euros in 2008.

The emboldened is all I wanted Krasid to know.

Yup they won it in 08...

And Yup they were definitely not one of the elites.

bykebyke:
Same Spain nobody noticed in the 2010 World Cup until they reached the semifinals have been World Cup elites before the 50's?

Same Spain nobody thought had a chance vs Germany in 2010?(except Octopus Paul)

So you can say another thing,but do not tell me Spain were World cup Elites before 2010.

This is complete rubbish. Spain were one of the favourites(joint Favourites with Brazil with a few and outright favourites with others)to win the worldcup based on their exploits in 2008. Now If you had said very few gave them a chance going into Euro 2008, then you would have had a point.

Again I don't know what bookmaker you use but Spain were marginal favourites with EVERY bookie vs Germany in 2010. Infact many chuckled at the prediction of octopus paul.

The last paragraph though is spot on. They were not Worldcup elites before 2010

For the sake of decency, Atletico Madrid should win! If not, this would be the most useless UCL ever!

What a load of tosh!.....Utter Garbage!

Rooting For Atletico all the same

Eruditor:
Anyways, I like Carlo and I wish him well. At City, Pep will be in Europe as an underdog, so maybe he will switch up his style. It is still a learning curve. Let's watch what the following season has to teach.

£100 says Pep will stay the same. That's His major shortcoming as a coach(Ironically also His strength). Unwillingness to accept change. Take last night for example. After barely scrapping through against Juve, one would have thought Pep would have learnt His lessons that a high defensive line simply does not work. Not even if You had a centre back pairing of Baresi and Kohler. But nah He persisted. With a bit more defensive stability, Bayern would have gone through over the two legs.

Still Massive Massive Fan of Pep though . He needs to learn that you don't have to go gung-ho ALL THE TIME

pamcode:
Oh common. Overall his first spell in Italy was above average to me and for someone that had to start from serie B that success for me. Besides i just wanted the ollah guy to know ranieri wasn't a flop as he would have us believe.

Gaining Promotion from Serie B to A might be deemed as success to many a club. Fiorentina is however not one of those clubs. I agree with you though, Claudio was certainly not a flop. He certainly wasn't a success either. Average as I said earlier.

lekkie073:
to me gary neville andy cole and dwight Yorke r just a bit above average. if I want to create a little chaos I will add beckam to d list because I dont see beckam as a superstar just some normal english over exaggerated hype

What matters to you and the actual reality are two different things. Yorky and Neville in 1999 were DEFINITELY not average.

pamcode:
This is wrong in his first spell in Italy(with fiorentina) and Spain(with Valencia) he was successful he won the coppa italia and supercoppa in italy, he also won the Copa del rey in spain. Mind you this were clubs swimming in the bottom half of their divisons before he came. I think he even qualified fiorentina to serie A by winning serie B.

No one Italy views Claudio's time there as a success. He was at best Average. Just because wikipedia says His time in Italy was a success does not mean it was.

A40:
No mind Ibime. What were Alaba and Javi doing? He pressed knowing there was cover at the back

Nothing... Nada. They let both Greizman and Torres have a free run to goal. Reminiscent of the way Stockton and Malone used to terrorize NBA defences back in the day.

Pep should take a bit of the blame though. High Defensive lines simply do not work. Especially not against a team set up to counter attack like Atletico. Still a Great Coach though. Just a stubborn one.

Ibime:
Alago Boateng loses the game for Bayern with headless chicken pressing

The same way Terry threw away the 2008 CL Finals and almost made sure his team failed to qualify for the 2012 finals.
