The Willie Limond Thread - Welcome to ESB, Willie!

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Tomorrow, Wednesday, from around 7pm GMT, Willie Limond has kindly agreed, according to his brother, to appear on this forum to chat with fans and answer questions.

I thought it would be a good idea to post some questions now, in case some of us cannot make it tomorrow, which Willie can answer.:good

[Amsterdam]

Congratulations Mr. Limond.

I just have two questions, does Khan have a suspect chin in your opinion? If not for the injury, you seemed to be getting the best of him and may well have won the bout.

Is the hype warranted therefore seeing as the true top World Class opponents are a heavy step up from the domestic class that you and Khan both are competing in at the moment?

[Decebal]

Willie, I very much enjoyed the fight!:happy Very exciting!:happy I was jumping up and down when you KDed Khan, shouting: "Kill him, Willie!" :lol:

But first of all let me say how proud I was of the way you approached this fight. I listened to your interviews and was impressed. You were confident yet kept your feet on the ground.

The talk you talked, you actually walked in the ring! Well done, mate! You made us proud!:happy

Some questions:

1. What was your strategy for this fight and how did you train specifically for it? What did you expect Khan's strategy would be?

2. After you KD'ed Khan, you took your foot off the gas a bit, and gave him some room to breathe? Was that because you needed a break too or was it a mistake? Had you jumped him then and there, might you not have finished him off?

3. After he KD'ed you, you hanged in there very bravely! Did you start feeling he had you beaten?

4. Had your corner not pulled you out, would you have gone in thinking that you could still win this?

5. What do you remember most about the fight?

6. What did ****** tell you after the fight, when he was shaking your hand, just before the decision?

7. Did you have a chat with Khan about the fight straight after or in the meantime? If so, what did Khan say to you and what did you say to him?

8. What are your plans now? Whom will you fight next?

Thanks, mate, and Good Luck!:good

[stake501]

Hi Willie

Well done...that was a kracker of a fight with khan

We heard plenty of reports of noses and jaws being broken...what actually happened?

Did you agreewith your corners advice to retire....i have to say you did look shaky before the end of the round.

Well done though sir, you are a credit to the sport.

[The Hitman]

Firstly I must say well done for fighting a tremendous fight, I was lucky to be there live and it was one of the most thrilling fights of the year.

Onto my questions:

Which fighters, if any, do you look up to?

Do you have a favourite fight of all time?

[achillesthegreat]

Great fight Willie. You did what you said you would. You took the fight to him but it simply wasn't meant to be.

1) Be 100% honest (or at least try), would you say it was your power that Khan in or his chin! Are you hitting harder at 135? Were you thinking more about power and getting him out of there?

2) How hard does Khan hit? Harder than Arthur? or is it his speed that does you in?

3) Are you able to fight on? Will you fight on? and whats next for Willie Limond?

[BigEars]

Hard luck in your last fight Willie and welcome to the forums .

Unlike everyone else here I'd like to get away from your last fight and ask what you consider you're best win .

Now I assume it is going to be between the often avoided Tseveenpurev , Kevin O'Hara and Allotey .

Obviously the Allotey fight would mean more in the sense it was for the Commonwealth title but regardless of titles which would you feel is your best win ?

Finally how is the ear ? , and when do you plan on making a return ?

[Primadonna Kool]

Yes congratulations on your fight.

1.Is Amir Khan the best boxer you have ever faced, skill wise, speed and accuracy.

2. Did you adopt more of a counter punching style, to deal with Amir Khans speed. Technically did you adapt during the fight.

[Nemesis]

Welcome aboard willie :good

[Primadonna Kool]

Do you think Evander Holyfield will capture the World Heayweight Title for a unprecedented 5th time.

[Smith]

What time is he coming on to the board?

[Smith]

7pm
Ah, my bad, missed that bit:good

[Primadonna Kool]

Where the Hell is Willie Limond.

[BigEars]

Where the Hell is Willie Limond.

It's tomorrow(now today) that he's coming on :lol: , so to answer you're question I'm going to go with Scotland .

[pambele]

This thread developed into something quite amusing.

[Decebal]

Less than 9 hours now..."Come on, Willie!":lol:

[Decebal]

Less than 7 hours now...:D

[Decebal]

...4

[The Kurgan]

Willie Limond- firstly, let me say you rock. A Scot knocking Khan down, the SNP coming into power and John Smeaton becoming an international star all in the space of a few months? This is truly a great time to be Scottish.

My main question is- did the hype and focus on you before the fight end up becoming a positive or negative thing for you when it came to boxing in the ring?

[Nemesis]

Willie;

You always hear fighters saying they have had the perfect preparation going into a fight (which usually is'nt the case), how would you say your preparation for the fight went?

[Decebal]

less than an hour!:happy

[safe_pa]

I have no questions for Willie but I would like to wish him great success, he performed extremely well with Khan and I would love a rematch, I personally think the ref was abit kind to Amir.
Nice one Willie can't wait to see you fight again.

[stake501]

only 15 minutes to go :happy






thought i'd save you the trouble Decebal :yep

[Decebal]

only 15 minutes to go :happy

:lol: :happy Willie's brother said around 7...we have to be patient, especially since Willie will not have used this site before!;)

[haggler2167]

willie limond is online congrats limond

[willie limond]

First off, congratulations on an excellent match - shame the count was iffy, but I'm proud seeing a fellow Scot give such bravery.

My question: as you're not known for one-punch, concussive KO power, do you think you were hitting harder than usual for the Khan fight due to the more focussed training camp, or was it that Khan seemed particularly fragile?
alright mate hows things, i think im hitting harder at 135lbs tnan when i was fighting at 130lbs i just caught khan on the right place but he recovered well

[Decebal]

alright mate hows things, i think im hitting harder at 135lbs tnan when i was fighting at 130lbs i just caught khan on the right place but he recovered well

Willie!!!:happy :happy :happy

[haggler2167]

theres only one willie limond theres only one willie limond

[Betty Swollocks]

yes, Limond is a very solid fighter. I backed him to beat Khan at 12/1 and feel robbed.......Khan was counted out but the ref let him away with it.

Willie: Who do think would win now between Arthur and Khan? How, and why?
Would you say you developed more punch power prior to the Khan fight?

[willie limond]

Congratulations Mr. Limond.

I just have two questions, does Khan have a suspect chin in your opinion? If not for the injury, you seemed to be getting the best of him and may well have won the bout.

Is the hype warranted therefore seeing as the true top World Class opponents are a heavy step up from the domestic class that you and Khan both are competing in at the moment?
khans a good prospect but world title level is a long way of the level were at just now in my opinion dont know if hes got a dodgy chin or not if you hit anyone in the right place i think they will feel it

[victorhugo4222]

Just want to say well done wullie you did us Scots proud. wee simmy asked me to say hi if i got the chance to speak to you how do you think he will do against andy morris?

[haggler2167]

Hi Willie

Well done...that was a kracker of a fight with khan

We heard plenty of reports of noses and jaws being broken...what actually happened?

Did you agreewith your corners advice to retire....i have to say you did look shaky before the end of the round.

Well done though sir, you are a credit to the sport.
they thought my jaw was broken but it wasnt. but my eardrum was burst my corner did there job well

[Urban Legend]

Willie congrats mate, you were staunch. How's the healing going ?

[willie limond]

Firstly I must say well done for fighting a tremendous fight, I was lucky to be there live and it was one of the most thrilling fights of the year.

Onto my questions:

Which fighters, if any, do you look up to?

Do you have a favourite fight of all time?
i like ricky hatton for the way he goes about his buisness and the way he fights of course ward and gatti barrera morrales they were some fights

[TAM83]

yes, Limond is a very solid fighter. I backed him to beat Khan at 12/1 and feel robbed.......Khan was counted out but the ref let him away with it.

Willie: Who do think would win now between Arthur and Khan? How, and why?
Would you say you developed more punch power prior to the Khan fight?


I like this question

[willie limond]

Great fight Willie. You did what you said you would. You took the fight to him but it simply wasn't meant to be.

3) Are you able to fight on? Will you fight on? and whats next for Willie Limond?
i wouldnt say i was a 1 punch ko artist but i think i hit quite solid khan has more speed but arthur hits harder i see an ear specialist this week so hopefully all goes well and im back in action pretty soon

[McGrain]

they thought my jaw was broken but it wasnt. but my eardrum was burst my corner did there job well


Hello Mr.Limond.

I watched the fight in a local boozer. When you dropped Khan, the dukebox went off and the fight went on. First time I can remember something like that happening with a fight since I was a kid.

I cheered myself horse. Well done.

Though you did cost me fifty bucks, I was the only guy at our table to pick you BEFORE the fight.

Everyone gave me odds so you can imagine my excitment.

Anyway, well done, was proud to be Scottish over boxing again.

[willie limond]

Hard luck in your last fight Willie and welcome to the forums .

Unlike everyone else here I'd like to get away from your last fight and ask what you consider you're best win .

Now I assume it is going to be between the often avoided Tseveenpurev , Kevin O'Hara and Allotey .

Obviously the Allotey fight would mean more in the sense it was for the Commonwealth title but regardless of titles which would you feel is your best win ?

Finally how is the ear ? , and when do you plan on making a return ?
the choi fight was a war blood everywere! so that was a good win ohara and allotey were good wins too i like all wins lol. i hope i wont be out of action too long i want to fight soon as ive been given the all clear

[Outboxer]

Firstly, congrats on a great fight Willie, you really looked like you gave it your all in the ring.

My question -- I'm guessing you've heard about the fact that Khan is apparently going to fight Graham Earl in December. Who do you pick to win, and how?

[achillesthegreat]

There's only ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Willie Limond!

[willie limond]

Yes congratulations on your fight.

1.Is Amir Khan the best boxer you have ever faced, skill wise, speed and accuracy.

2. Did you adopt more of a counter punching style, to deal with Amir Khans speed. Technically did you adapt during the fight.
to be fair he is probably one of the fastest fighters ive faced but i dont think he is the best at this stage of his career. i felt ok with his speed and my distance was good although he his very fast, my timing was quite good as well i felt, but obviously he did cause me problems as well.

[Manassa]

:rofl :rofl :rofl

[achillesthegreat]

:rofl :rofl :rofl
Manassa ask him some old school question.

[willie limond]

Hi willie,

I'll make it quick as everybodys wrote an essay.

congrats great fight you did yourself and scotland proud.:good :happy :happy

my question is...


HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE FIRST BOXER TO PUT AMIR DOWN IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER?.
yes it feels good when you put any one down in a fight if im honest but would have felt much better if he had stayed down for a few more seconds lol

[Decebal]

yes it feels good when you put any one down in a fight if im honest but would have felt much better if he had stayed down for a few more seconds lol

:lol: :yep

[willie limond]

Do you think Evander Holyfield will capture the World Heayweight Title for a unprecedented 5th time.
who knows anything is possible

[achillesthegreat]

Willie, who is your favourite all time fighter(s) and who have you tried to copy a more or two from?

[willie limond]

Willie Limond- firstly, let me say you rock. A Scot knocking Khan down, the SNP coming into power and John Smeaton becoming an international star all in the space of a few months? This is truly a great time to be Scottish.

My main question is- did the hype and focus on you before the fight end up becoming a positive or negative thing for you when it came to boxing in the ring?
i loved all the hype around the fight, its the kind of fights i want to be in

[Danny Ocean]

willie whats up , great fight

who wins hatton or floyd

[willie limond]

Willie;

You always hear fighters saying they have had the perfect preparation going into a fight (which usually is'nt the case), how would you say your preparation for the fight went?
preparation went well for the fight a couple of little niggles but thats the usual when your training hard

[Decebal]

Willie, who wins? Calzaghe or Kessler?:good

[grayggr]

Willie I understand the fight was stopped as you suffered a broken jaw.

My question is, although Khan came back impressively do you feel that if you wouldn't have sustained that injury, you could have put him in trouble again, and finish him off?

Also do you think he has any chance against a seasoned vet like Thaxton?

Regards

Graham

[achillesthegreat]

Willie the bravery you showed against Khan was tremendous you must wish you just had a little more power and you would of destroyed him easily.

Does Khan hit as hard as Arthur?
He has already said Arthur hit harder.

[achillesthegreat]

Willie I understand the fight was stopped as you suffered a broken jaw.
He has already said he didn't break his jaw but damaged his ear drum.

[stake501]

they thought my jaw was broken but it wasnt. but my eardrum was burst my corner did there job well

cheers willie...cant wait to see you next time :happy

[willie limond]

yes, Limond is a very solid fighter. I backed him to beat Khan at 12/1 and feel robbed.......Khan was counted out but the ref let him away with it.

Willie: Who do think would win now between Arthur and Khan? How, and why?
Would you say you developed more punch power prior to the Khan fight?
i think arthur would win hes fought at the higher level so would have too much for khan at this moment . i just feel that wee bit stronger at this weight so i think my punch is getting a bit better ( i hope) lol

[China_hand_Joe]

Is Frank ****** the best in the business -questionmark-

[Amsterdam]

Is Frank ****** the best in the business -questionmark-

:rofl

[haggler2167]

what type of training did you do willie like on your average day and congratulations by the way.

[Betty Swollocks]

i think arthur would win hes fought at the higher level so would have too much for khan at this moment . i just feel that wee bit stronger at this weight so i think my punch is getting a bit better ( i hope) lol

I see, thanks for answering my questions and all the best.

[achillesthegreat]

Yeah, lets here about the training.

How far did you run?

How many rounds did you spar?

Who did you spar with?

What is your favourite thing - bag, pads etc?

[willie limond]

Just want to say well done wullie you did us Scots proud. wee simmy asked me to say hi if i got the chance to speak to you how do you think he will do against andy morris?
its a tough defence for john but john is a tough man him self who is improving i think it will be who performs and what tactics are used on the night but it could be close

[Smith]

Alreet Willie, unlucky with your performance, keep fighting like that on you will progress the way you want to.

2 'Qs

*1. Are you planning on staying at lightweight? And if so, how about some domestic battles against the winner of McCallister/Docherty?
*2. Who is your favourite boxer of all time, both world-wide & British, and have you modelled yourself on any other boxers techniques.
Cheers, youre keeping us Scots proud mate.

[Danny Ocean]

hatton or floyd m8

[Manassa]

Manassa ask him some old school question.

I would rather let Mr. Limond have some slack and let him answer questions as he pleases - rather than shove them down his throat.

[stake501]

this is the best thread in ages

[willie limond]

Willie congrats mate, you were staunch. How's the healing going ?
healings going fine mate i see a specalist this week

[achillesthegreat]

[willie limond]

[haggler2167]

who you thinking of fighting next then i will defo watch your next fight

[willie limond]

Firstly, congrats on a great fight Willie, you really looked like you gave it your all in the ring.

My question -- I'm guessing you've heard about the fact that Khan is apparently going to fight Graham Earl in December. Who do you pick to win, and how?
khan could be too quick for earl but earl could catch him later on earl had some great fights and hard fights khans quick punches would make him favourite though

[willie limond]

willie whats up , great fight

who wins hatton or floyd
for me Hatton wins

[achillesthegreat]

Is Thaxton a fight you are interested in next?

[willie limond]

Willie the bravery you showed against Khan was tremendous you must wish you just had a little more power and you would of destroyed him easily.

Does Khan hit as hard as Arthur?
yes i wish i could ko with one punch all the time but who doesnt! arthur hits harder

[willie limond]

Willie, who wins? Calzaghe or Kessler?:good
calzaghe

[willie limond]

Willie I understand the fight was stopped as you suffered a broken jaw.

My question is, although Khan came back impressively do you feel that if you wouldn't have sustained that injury, you could have put him in trouble again, and finish him off?

Also do you think he has any chance against a seasoned vet like Thaxton?

Regards

Graham
i think if i hadnt been injured the last 4 rounds would have been tremendous i think thaxton has the power to take a lot of people out my jaw wasnt broke my eardrum was burst.

[Decebal]

calzaghe

Thank you!

[willie limond]

Is Frank ****** the best in the business -questionmark-

[grayggr]

[nervousxtian]

It's good to see boxers come down to the ESB and talk to their fans.

Haven't seen you fight Willie, as I'm in the states, and didn't see the Khan fight, but it seems you made a good showing.

Can you tell us anything about fellow Scot Kevin Anderson? He's coming off a good win over Eamonn Magee.

[stake501]

cheers willie...dude you have an account now...i expect to see you around these boards in the future....:deal

cant hurt when promoting your next fight can it.;)

:good

5 miles a day and quality sparring with Anderson and Burns. Sounds good.

Who are the ABSOLUTE BEST you've sparred with? Ever moved around with Hatton, Calzaghe, Harrison etc?

[willie limond]

Alreet Willie, unlucky with your performance, keep fighting like that on you will progress the way you want to.

[BigEars]

Thanks very much Willie , we appreciate you giving us your time .



nervousxtian Kevin fought well against Magee but Eamon is a long way past his nest now , the attack+general wear and tear+ age means Eamon isn't nearly the same fighter he once was .

[willie limond]

DUNKY WHERE ARE YOU TO SEE THIS?

He actually has you (Limond) as his avatar! You're Scottish you see and Dunky is fiercely Scottish.

[willie limond]

[Decebal]

You don't get truer than that in Glasgow, Willie!:good

[willie limond]

no word yet i hope i hear something soon
no word as of yet but i hope i hear something soon

[Smith]

Aye willie, pity Dunky's not on the site the now, he'd be loving this.

[PowerPuncher]

Hi Willie, how would you rate Khans speed and power compared to other guys you've been in with. How far do you see him going?

Also do you think you have somewhat underrated power as everyone labels you 'a none puncher'. Your punches seemed well timed.

How would you see yourself going against the likes of Earl/Thaxton

[Nemesis]

Thanks for replying, but the real question is........


Is Dunky McCafferty really Scott Harrison in disguise :hey

[willie limond]

Willie did you really think you should have had the fight stopped when Khan went to his knees during the count?
to be fair i never noticed it during the fight ive watched it since and the count was a bit long but these things happen, onwards and upwards hopefully!

[Decebal]

Great attitude again, Mr. Limond! Best of luck! We'll cheer you all the way!

[willie limond]

There is a guy on here who is Scottish and loves Harrison.

DUNKY WHERE ARE YOU TO SEE THIS?

He actually has you (Limond) as his avatar! You're Scottish you see and Dunky is fiercely Scottish.

Hi Willie, how would you rate Khans speed and power compared to other guys you've been in with. How far do you see him going?

Also do you think you have somewhat underrated power as everyone labels you 'a none puncher'. Your punches seemed well timed.

How would you see yourself going against the likes of Earl/Thaxton
early in my career i fought heavier guys so hard to knock them out, if im fit and perform to my best i think i would have a good chance with most fighters my weight

[AllyT]

I thought you had him. I had a wee something on you to stop him in six as well.

I hope you are recovering well and hope to see you boxing again soon.

Over . . . .

i loved all the hype around the fight, its the kind of fights i want to be in

Great, because it's the kind of fight that all the boys at work want to see you in! :good

This thread marks the true return of the British forum. The days when Buncey, Haye, Maxwell, Dodson etc frequented it.

I'm sure Jamie Moore has posted on here too, remember Jeffro replying to him.

Moore posts on boxrec too.

There is honestly nothing more fascinating than having a fighter from 1910 with no film to peice together.

I don't trust you Scots, especially after I'm hearing this shit about Irn Bru being popular.

Irn Bru is amazing for a hangover, simply amazing.......

.....other than that its tooth rott fodder, don't drink regularly, but its quite nice, fucking Scots stuff right there

There is a guy on here who is Scottish and loves Harrison.

DUNKY WHERE ARE YOU TO SEE THIS?

He actually has you (Limond) as his avatar! You're Scottish you see and Dunky is fiercely Scottish.

I couldnt get in earlier on, was too busy helping a pal do a flittiing that went on forever:|

Its OK though, as some of you lads asked Willie questions I would have asked him anyway, so it worked out alright in the end:good

Funny you should say that, as I used to go to Partick Thistle matches in the early to mid 90's when they had players like Geordie Shaw, Roddy Grant, Gerry Britton, Paul Kinnaird, Chico Charnley, Craig Nelson, big Willie Jamieson etc playing for them.

Oh, & where did you hear I was a gers fan? last I heard, everyone thought I was a Celtic fan!

Just read all of this, quality. I will definitely be keeping more of an eye in Limonds career from now on, I appreciate someone coming on to answer all those questions and hopefully he comes back strong.

Also, Dunky...did you notice that Hatton is one of his favourite fighters? What do you make of that.:D

[Dunky McCafferty]

Did you see the game where the Dons humped them 7-0?

Aye very funny:twisted:

If memory serves me correctly that was the replayed match, after the original game when the dandies were winning 2-0 at half time but it was snowing heavily, & Thistle legendary manager John Lambie was even out with a brush kidding on he was trying to clear the snow just to wind up the travelling Aberdeen support in the knowledge that the game was going to be abandoned anyway:lol:

The joke didnt half rebound back on Thistle though, but I still laugh at Lambies cheek:D

To be honest Strikey, it would surprise me more if anyone from these shores said that they were NOT a Hatton fan. Just been looking at some other Hatton threads, & seen many of my fellow scots wanting to go over & cheer Ricky against Mayweather.

If only they knew that Ricky has no time for Scotland, or their fighters. Thats for another thread, another argument though;)

I can only point out the facts, its up to everyone else if they want to see them...

[BoppaZoo]

i just wanted to add this,

being of Scottish blood, Willie cheers for your answers and you deserved to beat Khan if it wasnt for the long count.

as for who your fighting next i think a fight against Lee McAllister would be great and i could see you winning.

anyway good luck in the future i hope you keep going up the food chain.

I just rewatched Gomez - Arthur and Hatton gets into the ring with his sombrero still on his back and goes over and puts his arm around Arthur after congratulating Gomez. Doesn't look like the bad treatment I had heard.

Hope the healing goes well and you can continue your career, Willie.

Apparently, you see a sombrero fly into the ring and it was supposed to be Hatton that threw it in celebration. But then as soon as you see Hatton climb onto the ring apron he has his sombrero on his back and after congratulating Gomez he goes over to Arthur puts his arm around him and speaks with him.

[The Jackal]

Question for willie,
A guy from ESB who claims to be 12 stone with no pro fighting career but has in the past alledgedly taken a kick to the chin from a thai boxer, without touching the canvas.Has stated here on the British forum after your last bout," that there is no way Willie Limond could put him on his ass with a 5 punch combination "
Do you think you could score a legit knockdown with at least 5 punches against esb's keyboard warrior who probably spends half his life sat on his ass on the internet??

from one angle you see Hatton climbing into the ring under the ropes. All you see from the other angle is that same sombrero landing beside Arthur.
I'm pretty sure as Hatton is climbing in the ring the Sombrero comes off thanks to the rope, by accident. As you say Hatton goes to check on Arthur a few times. I'm not a fan of Ricky but I don't think he's a cunt at all.

Thanks for clearing that up. You know you could never imagine Ricky being a cunt.

I think the only person that Ricky thinks is a prick is Floyd.

When YOU OUT SUCKA supports Hatton, then what he says is irrefutable. This is HARD evidence.

Oh yeah, that's the one... I knew it was some cheap shit.

I watched arthur-gomez again. As Hatton gets in the ring a hat hits the fall. I don't think Hatton threw the hat at him as he lay there. I strongly doubt Hatton would be cuntish enough to throw his hat at someone who lay there like that. VERY hard to believe I must say. Plus you don't disrespect someone like that and then commiserate him.

[Decebal]
