Good to have you back Islander! Always enjoy your insight.

[@MikeStock88]

Good to see you back :)

[@mortal2400]

Glad your back man! love your videos. best nonbias boxing channel on youtube by far.

[@fairalways]

I gotta catch up, Islander. I missed the last video you posted. I've been pretty distracted. Nice stuff, as usual.

[@oliverberry6761]

Don't really mind where you upload of videos, just keep them coming please.

[@CountofMonteFi3t0]

Nice to have you back islander always enjoy the videos. if you do leave KZbin to do your vids, do a quick video telling us where we should go to see it. I have a personal dream fight and it's between 2 super middle weights and that's Carl the cobra froch v nigel the dark destroyer Benn. Cheers

[@attackomac]

Islander, i love your show, but i dont use twitter. pls keep uploading on youtube.

[@OlVeil]

I totally agree with you. Crawford is the real P4P at the moment. No twitter, youtube please.

[@mosesalvarez9476]

How do you see Olivares vs Zarate going? and Edwin Rosario vs top 10 current lightweights? great video btw, no twitter videos please

[@MrBrendanRoy]

Keep up the good work pal, Periscope is affiliated with twitter and videos go on live but can be archived for latter viewing. My dream match up is a 96 Mike Tyson vs David Tua.

[@boxinginfo]

Thanks I came to the same conclusion - periscope is out we are either stuck with youtube or I'll have to start a website.

[@chestyrockwell]

As someone else said, dailymotion might be an option to consider instead of youtube. Do you have Frampton winning the Leo Santa Cruz rematch ? Quigg had his jaw broken in the Frampton fight, but finished the fight strongly I thought. Both were cautious early, especially Quigg. Did you watch any of the Olympic boxing, any comments on the judging there?

[@elbosshogg4179]

Dailymotion is just like youtube lets you upload up to an hr in hd and everything but it has way less strict guidelines, periscope is good too, its more of a live streaming than your videos are saved for people to view later. I dont know about twitter or anyother I dont use anything else. I used to upload fights on dailymotion and on youtube, and on youtube they were deleted(copyright striked) and dailymotion they still up with no issue.

[@arnoldwayne5402]

hahah, thanks for the recognition islander! Got another fantasy fight you might like, Aaron pryor vs Floyd mayweather jr

[@boxinginfo]

YW I like the matchups you come up with! In a 12 round fight with big pillows as gloves I go with FMJ. Ina 15 round fight under Nov 12 1982 conditions I go with Pryor big.

[@fairalways]

I don't tweet. I do Facebook, but I can see why that's a pain in the ass for you. I wish I had some good answer for you. I might go to twitter just for you.

[@circle2867]

i don't watch boxing much these days simply because it's corrupt as fuck. got bitches ducking out of fights, dodgy refs, big fights end up being shit and fights taking an age to happen. it seems to me that it takes boxers (especially in england) for them to fights bums for years on years before they're even tested. i cant believe i used to really like this shit a few years ago.

[@GOPA90]

Glad your back, need more guys like you who know the history of boxing and are not wrapped up in racial centric bias. How do you see these matches going? Pryor vs Chavez Kovalev vs Spinks Kovalev vs Foster Ward vs Calzaghe 168 Tyson vs Wlad Klitchko GGG vs Hopkins Mayweather vs Duran 130 Keep posting Islander! Have you thought about a podcast?

[@boxinginfo]

Pryor - Chaxez too close to call slight edge in my mind to Pryor. Michael Spinks over Kovalev probably by KO he was almost unbeatable at 175.

[@DirkDiggler632]

Golovkin wasn't sick. Jeez HBO will say anything to protect him.

[@boxinginfo]

Maybe not but he didn't look himself.

[@DirkDiggler632]

boxinginfo I was there. I think his team didn't plan the trip as well as they could have. They travelled to London late and he got stuck in traffic for a couple of hours on the way to the weigh-in which is why he looked bad and grumpy on the scales.

[@DirkDiggler632]

boxinginfo The reason he didn't "look himself" in the fight is because he was in against a world class fighter for a change.

[@mortal2400]

BTW islander, completely disagree with your Ward assessment. kovalev has an excellent jab, it's awkward and it has a lot of power behind it, almost like a straight left hand from a southpaw decision. i believe that is the key punch in this fight and Kovalev is a mean guy, who doesn't let fighters clinch him that much. He'll get dirty with ward if he decides to clinch kovalev to death. I got kovalev by TKO in the later rounds.

[@mdmac92]

I'm a big Kovalev fan and I agree that he's MUCH more dynamic than your average come-forward puncher, but if he couldn't break down and tko Hopkins or Chilemba, he's not going to break down and tko Ward. Ward is a cut above the two of them. The only question that needs to be answered (in my opinion) is whether or not Ward has enough pop in his punches to keep Kovalev honest. If he doesn't, Kovalev will counter whenever Ward tries to pot-shot from long range just like he did to Bhop and Ward will have to go into survival mode and lose by decision (just like Bernard). If he can get Kov's respect, he'll be able to freeze him with feints and tag him from the outside all night. Kovalev will be in big trouble. That's how I see it anyway.

[@boxinginfo]

Understand I'm not ruling out a Kovalev victory. Tactics he successfully used against Hopkins I feel won't work because Ward has sharper reflexes in other words I expect him to do a ton better than Hopkins.

[@mortal2400]

boxinginfo I can see where you're coming from. I just think it's a 50/50 right based on styles. Kovalev isn't just a big puncher. He can box too. I know you've been down on boxing for awhile because we ain't getting the big fights when we want them but fights like this make us really appreciate boxing and the fighters themselves. These are the fights we want.

[@philo2197]

Question, just saw your video and why are people calling you islander? Probably stupid question..

[@boxinginfo]

Its my stage name!
