Exactly why the fvck was footage released of a training drill in the first place? One thing we know for sure since as far back as I can remember is that anything to do with religion in any context other than its religious intention, offends some people. This, Life of Brian the Millenium Prayer etc. Just dont release the footage!

The fact is that Kell holds a title and Khan's original excuse for not fighting him was that it wouldnt be a title fight.Whilst Khan can pull a crowd in the states, Khan vs Brook would fill a football stadium and do serious PPV numbers so there's money in it and a title. What more does he want? The Froch vs Groves re-match showed exactly what british boxing is capable of and these two would be massive. I really don't understand how by getting knocked out, Khan thinks he deserves better?

He really is an idiot. Banging on about wanting to fight Mayweather and then getting in the ring with Canelo because in his mind, he's in that class. He isnt. He's proved time and again that he's pretty average and now yet again he's ruling out Brook. If I were Brook i'd not ever even entertain fighting him. He doesnt deserve it. Before it was that Kell wasnt on his level and hadnt beaten anybody, then it was he doesnt have a world title. Khan has ran out of excuses for this one.

De Gale is so much better than Groves now. I wonder if we'll ever see a re-match? Usually really like Hughie Fury but that was pretty woeful. Not really improved over the last couple of years.

Watching Game of Thrones on Exodus. Each episode starts immediately with the credits but when the actual programme starts, it seems like i've missed something. Anyone know which app has the full episodes?

I was sceptical about paid service but given the state of the free streams, Stealth Streams at £7 a month is excellent value. The US coverage is so much better than Sky too IMO.

Another stern test.

A tuk-tuk and a dog. Classic #FTbantz

Really torn at the minute. Been driving a Saab 9-3. Its comfortable and the fuel economy is excellent (55mpg). Its coming up to 200k on the clock though and a couple of bodywork issues are rearing their heads. I'm only going to spend about £7k. Suggestions welcome. I do loads of long distance journeys so comfort and economy are the most important.

Watch the whole trilogy!!

WBA? The IBF allowed Wlad to skip his mandatory on many occasions to pick a more lucrative fight. They knew very well of the re-match clause and therefore did not need to insist on Fury fighting the mandatory straight away. I hope AJ goes on to become the boxer the hype suggests but we've not seen anything from him so far to think he will so not really sure why so many think he's the next Lennox Lewis. Fury gets bad press because he talks shit and whether he's in or out of the ring, he looks like shit. We have an expectation that somebody at the pinnacle of their sport should be a role model and he doesnt fit that bill in any shape or form. Personally, if you're a boxer and particularly a heavyweight, I quite like the trash talk. It should go with the territory.

I wouldnt blame him for walking away. The amount of bullshit he had to go through to finally get a title shot and having won, hasnt received a fraction of the recognition he deserved whilst looking on at AJ who has been handed a title on a plate, must leave a bitter taste. After Haye pulled out on him he talked about retiring and the crap over having to vacate the title must have grated. Even if he wanted to, I doubt the IBF would let AJ fight Fury. They didnt want Fury to have the belt and they certainly wouldnt want to risk him regaining it, especially when they now have a poster boy title holder.
-
Anyone see Briggs squaring off to Haye? Haye actually looked like he sh!t himself. Providing Fury beats Wlad again (which I think he will), i'd love to see a better organsied super 6 tournament with heavyweights. Fury Joshua Wilder Povetkin Pulev Ortiz (If Brown gets out of the shit, add him instead of Pulev).
-
It wasnt even that clean a shot. Martin was clearly not interested and there for the money. Its a bit of a disgrace that this was a world title fight. For all the hype around him, AJ STILL hasnt fought anyone of any substance and STILL hadnt shown any kind of ringcraft. He's 6ft 6 and built like a shithouse so power shouldnt be in question, If he got in the ring with Fury, Fury would win on points and I think Haye would knock him out. They need to be very careful who they match him with next as if they book him wrong, the cashcow is over.
-
So Briggs is on the Haye undercard and Haye has said if Briggs wins, they'll fight later this year!
-
It took a massive amount of convincing to find a market so it was doubly disappointing when there was zero take up. Especially when I had endorsement from two well respected ex-pros! Yes it was expensive but the benefits to the boxer were so good I still cant believe it didnt happen.

I tried to set up an insurance scheme like this a couple of years ago. Not a single promoter or gym stable wanted to know.
-
The Haye press conference was brilliant. 'Who is this guy? Who are you? Nobody ever heard of you' Haye didn't have a clue how to handle it. Tried to fudge it by saying fight on the undercard etc but when Briggs asked if he fought on the undercard would he sign a contract to fight him next, Haye shut his mouth. For Haye to accuse him of just wanting a payday is rich indeed. Apparently Briggs is quite wealthy away from Boxing so he does actually just want to fight.

Finished Making a Murderer last night. I know its edited so you only see parts of what went on but what the ****?

Bought a firestick for bedroom tv with The Beast build on it. Its bloody dreadful. Nothing works tv and film wise and the sport streams are gash. Think i'm gonna wipe it and start again.

Robocop has been absolutely shite for weeks. Their PLP used to be spot on.

I hate to do this. *you're*

Which is great. Stop as many plots, drop as many bombs, just dont expect to change the world.

Shock horror. Bunch of ***** want to kill everyone and take over the world. Been happening for centuries people. Dont Concern yourself with it. Just go where you wanna go, do what you wanna do with whoever you want to do it with. If some **** wants to blow you up for no reason, **** it. What you gonna do? Stay in your house forever? You cant change these people, nobody can. If they have it in their head its a good idea then you, me, politicians, community leaders, priests, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers arent gonna stop them. Twenty years from now, Islamic fundamentalists will be a thing of the past and it'll be some other wacko group causing shit. History just repeats itself with this crap in one guise or another. The end message is the same, just different colours and different reasons. In the end though, the many outweigh the few and this stuff just dies out. Its shit that people die, but throughout history, since time began, people have been getting killed and society evolves and moves on. Its the only constant along with greed that history continuously repeats. Too much credit is given to these organisations. They're a basic ragtag bunch who dont really have a long term plan they just want to fvck stuff up. It doesnt work. It never has and never will (terrorism that is). These groups get wiped one by one until eventually, their recruitment halts because no matter how dissalusioned someone might be, they realise that actually, these actions have no reaction. Charlie Ebdo still write their articles, people still use airports and go to gigs. The price for the penny to drop is always high but the penny will always drop. Just takes time.
