I am ok. Been a bit ill recently but feeling better.

You catch the Rigondeaux fight?

Hey there. Yeah just dealing with life stuff. I might start visiting more and socialise. How you been doing? :)

Damn you're on. Haven't seen you in ages.

You cool.

Football, but I'm caring less about it and losing passion for it these days. Most of my interest in it is based on everything besides the 90 minutes where they kick the ball around. Fan culture, club history, stuff that happens (like when Leicester won the league), but over the past year or so I rarely watch it or seek it out when it doesn't involve my club or nation. I don't follow it week to week much any more, especially since my club imploded. There is too much that's ruining the sport and supporters in this country are treated like sh*t.

I'd rather watch a big boxing fight than a football match now, I'm into snooker too but I'm the only one off here that is.

Yeah it is as I started gradually boxing 2-3 years ago. Soccer comes second and basketball 3rd.

El Chacal was refused by HBO because they didn't find his style marketable, since the boxing industry tends to favor sensationalized brawlers over boxers who actually practice it as an art. That and some western governments don't tend to like Cubans. He had to go to Japan to box... Sad really.

What is your main sport?

I'm guessing boxing is your main sport that you follow then, why is it that boxers seem to build their careers relatively late? Like this Rigondeaux guy, he's 36 but hasn't long turned pro? AJ at 27 would be in his prime or even past it in some sports.

Bugs me when you see fighters in their peaks fighting maybe less than once a year, or twice max. Probably down to money but it just seems like a waste to me.

Yeah that fight was epic. Didn't watch it on the day either but I did get a recording of it. Don't really do favs, but really getting behind Kovalev lately to win this rematch against Ward since I hold the common opinion that he deserves to. Right now I'm particular on Guillermo Rigondeaux. Amazing boxer imo.

I missed the first AJ/Klitsch fight. I was looking forward to it for a couple weeks or so, fell asleep not long before the bell rang and woke up at about 3am, was so gutted as from what I heard (didn't bother watching the next day) it was a classic. This is a consolation I guess, think he should win again. Want to see him fight Deontay Wilder, that would be big.

Who's your favourite boxer?

I don't know much about the Yafai brothers but I did watch the Kal vs Luis fight a while back and he seems like a smooth competent fighter.

And AJ is ****ing awesome and cool as ****. Hope he unseats Fury one day. Can't wait for the Klitschko rematch.

Yeah I've been through two more name changes since you were active I think.

I'm not actually that in the know with boxing, I just follow the big fights and enjoy watching them. As for favourite boxer, probably AJ, but I've been keeping an eye on the Yafai brothers as they're from where I'm from so I'd like to see them do well. Kal in particular. Are you familiar with him?

Good that the Alvarez/GGG fight is confirmed now, not sure who I'd back, just hope it'll be a good fight.
