I told him that. I said, "Vano, mate, listen - Mitchell, he just isn't very good." And Dan was all, "But DF, you gotta trust me, he's from London which automatically means he'll get a stoppage regardless of all the advantages Burns holds over him." "But," I replied, "how will he get this stoppage when you admit that Burns has all the advantages? What alchemy is this?"Mitchell-Burns is a strange one Vano.
Dan fixed me with a penetrating e-look. "Jellied eels, DF, jellied eels."
It was then I knew @Vano-irons was lost.
The enigma that is Kevin Mitchell.
I'm hurt.You bastard.
I honestly think Gavin's level is around European/Fringe world. I just get the feeling from watching him that he's just going through the motions, he appears to have little ambition and will just crap out sooner or later.Yup, totally agree pal. He doesn't make the weight for the Olympics 5 years ago, and people make it out that he's not dedicated to the sport in the slightest. He has had well documented personal problems which are thankfully all behind him now.
He is a young 27 in boxing terms, and can make it at European level
Just to reiterate (should that be hyphenated?) I called Burns stopping Mitchell for months and months before it happened, and a plenty of posters mocked me for it. @Holmes especially nearly threw a shit fit.
What is the fucking deal with these things can someone tell me? The grandfather of a girl I was once *ahem* friendly with once harped on to me about how ridiculous it was that we don't have that over here, that it's all the rage where he's from(Vano's neck of the woods). I find this despicable. They eat that shit!?!? I nearly dumped her on the spot merely by association of such a thing, I don't care if she also acted appalled by the topic of conversation.Dan fixed me with a penetrating e-look. "Jellied eels, DF, jellied eels."
I'm sorry. It just came out. Forgive me. And you might be right about Frankie.I'm hurt.

You're forgiven. Don't get me wrong about Frankie either, I'm a big supporter, he has all the talent in the world, but as we all know talent doesn't get you everything. Hope he goes on to prove me wrong.I'm sorry. It just came out. Forgive me. And you might be right about Frankie.
I get that feeling with Gavin. Superb boxer when he's on form but I can't shake the feeling he's missing that something "extra" to make it into real world class.
My Gavin vs Welborn fight report is now ready for checkhookboxing

:lol: you pratI told him that. I said, "Vano, mate, listen - Mitchell, he just isn't very good." And Dan was all, "But DF, you gotta trust me, he's from London which automatically means he'll get a stoppage regardless of all the advantages Burns holds over him."

I was convinced that Kev had more power, a better lead left hook and a more effective jab. I thought he'd work the body early and slow Burns down (like he did Murray). I was sure he'd stop him, and went to Glasgow to see it!
Don't look at me dude, I can't stand them either. It's not so much the taste but the texture of it. But I do like cocklesWhat is the fucking deal with these things can someone tell me?

I thought Mitchell would give Burns a decent fight tbh. He did for about half a round.
i had a argument with bunce after the show on twitter about him saying theopane ruined danny garcia :bbb
George.C @AllinBlackVoddY
@bigdaddybunce theopane ruined danny garcia. More like a close fight. Talking shit on tv there.
Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce
@AllinBlackVoddY Get your head out of Garcia's arse - Ash won, trust me. Is it because he is British? He won.
George.C @AllinBlackVoddY
@bigdaddybunce I don't like danny garcia. There's a difference between won and ruined, over-hyping on tv
Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce
@AllinBlackVoddY And there is a difference between 'hyping' and 'talking shit'. Watch your tongue, I'm sick of anonymous warriors.
George.C @AllinBlackVoddY
@bigdaddybunce my name is there buncey. Saying garcia got ruined is talking shit, instead of saying ash won u over hyped it to ruined.
Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce
@AllinBlackVoddY I thought Ash won, ruined is an expression. Get off your soap box. Buy a ticket, get the feel for a fight and shut up.
Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce
@AllinBlackVoddY Why worry about me? Praise Gavin's timing. Keane's emergence. Gethin's heroic win. Look for good, not bad.
George.C @AllinBlackVoddY
@bigdaddybunce I go plenty of fights, bellew and froch's up next. I never do worry bout u unless u throwing loose remarks around.
Steve Bunce @bigdaddybunce
@AllinBlackVoddY I'm sure.

I thought the same when he said it. Yeah "Ruined" is an expression. It generally means a fighter isn't the same after a given fight due to receiving a sustained beating at the hands of an opponent. This clearly wasn't the case in the Theopane fight, so either Bunce is using the term out of it's proper context or he's talking shit. Considering he's supposed to be an expert on a specialist boxing channel he should know better because his audience clearly do.
I think it was just a slip of the tongue more that anything. Theophane did way Garcia, in my opinion anyway.
The Garcia comment was weird.
I'm sure Bunce would happily admit Delvin Rodriguez "ruined" Theophane then, eh?:hey Theophane being "British" surely wouldn't play a part in that.
It's cool @Vano-irons, I'd never dump you anyways. The mere idea of whatever the shit that stuff is......is mental to me though. We'll get some if I'm ever in your neck of the woods.
