Nasty cut due to a clash of heads sadly but this did not phase him, experience and desire got him through that, what a fighter. Took some shots Wallin

Gutted for Nathan but he didn’t look up for it and time to hang those gloves up.

Well done to his opponent and the best of luck for the rest of your career.

Seems to have genuine power as well as the speed. He could be the real deal, excited to see how he manages to go up the levels.

Would love to see the Dalton Smith fight but maybe it does make more sense for it to happen further down the line now.

Pretty certain it was a thumb in the eye that Brad took which unfortunately knocked the impetus out of him that he was building.

He was levellled, agree, cocky ****er

Well, what a fight that was

Thought Bivol did enough for me. A lot of BB shots were on the gloves. Credit to BB boxed well, just stays on the end of Bivols reach. Think he got it on aggression myself, deffo not clean shots, BB corner though he was behind!

Say one thing though, BB 39 and the full 12 rounds, superbly conditioned, athelete

For ONCE I agree with Hearn

Result for you then pal too

Joshua as I have said before is a great role model for the sport, superbly conditioned and has probably one of the best right hands in the business but it stops there for me, seriously lacking in boxing skills, exceptionally poor movement, still fights in straight lines and even the very basics, drops his guard all the time, chin exposed ffs, incredible after all this time, it’s a natural instinct, his defence is rubbish, hands all over, doesn’t cover up, he is so easy to hit and always has been

DD was tactically spot on, put it on him from the off as others have sat on the end of his jab and copped for the right hand. Slipped inside brilliantly and put it on him, made him look clueless because when it’s on him, he is, one trick pony Joshua, always has been.

I would love to see DD fight Usyk again, my money would be on him to blow Usyk away in 8. Carrying some serious power now and can land it. Come on a long way since the Joyce defeat, faced a man tonight who try’s to sit behind the jab and destroyed him

I saw the weigh in highlight last night and you could see in his eyes he was not up for it at all.

Stuck a few quid on a DD knock out inside 6 as a result and went to plan. Extremely poor ring awareness from Joshua... landed a big hit on DD and then went for the kill and let his left hand drop twice.. DD even hit him one just before the knockout and he didn't react.

I was half expecting him to chat a load of bullocks at the end again but fair play to him he was actually quite humble

Fight night

Looking forward to the Warrington fight, might be the fight of the night this

Cmon DD after his performance against Hrgović, where he destroyed him in style, shocked me to be fair, I though he was a serious contender, I’m hoping the same fate for Joshua if DD can avoid the big right, needs to keep moving and to Joshua’s left. This should be a cracker because if Joshua loses this it could be game over. Both came in around 250 ripped, incredible

I hope DD sparks him

Dare I say it, might be a good fight. Can’t see Joshua doing anything other than sit behind the jab, he’s not got much else. The jab job worked for Joyce.

DD seems to have a lot better movement since and in his last two fights so I fancy him to put Joshua out although this is heavyweight boxing, one shot

Same as me Gerry, it was a close one. Personally i think he struggled at that weight, absolute top class fighter but I think he struggled with the power and could not put him away either and I think he realized that. He wants to keep quite about Canelo because I feel he would be far too strong and too powerful for him.

Still, at his weight a sure all time great, the man can box, superb

Chisora v Joyce hope fully Derek will retire after this one what he lacks in ability he makes up for with heart
I know he is a big underdog but I would love him to bow out with a win
and TBH after Joyce missing out on the big money fights and his last 2 losses against Zhang at 38 maybe he should consider retiring too ?

Who you calling a fool ? Wind your neck in fanboy !!!
I have always been on here and as he is a mate of yours WE ALL saw /see ALL your posts about him constantly ignoring most of the other fights
and Heaney was fit enough to run off we all saw him AND PAULS EVEN WENT ROUND TO HEANEYS DRESSING ROOM TOO

OK I get he was upset but he let himself down END OF FANBOY thats , my opinion END OF CHAT !

WTF are you gibbering on about as Nathan’s health came first before he could congratulate him. One thing Nathan isn’t is a sore loser.

You were no where near on here when he became British champion but now you can’t wait to wade in on a former graceful champion who was receiving medical treatment.

You’ve really let yourself down here as much as my mate Nathan ever could have.

You fool.

Edit - As for your information Brad Paul’s went over to Nathan’s corner and how do you know Nathan didn’t congratulate him then?.

As for the first fight I thought Nathan won it by two rounds but appreciate that boxing is subjective.

Edit - I only came on here to post (congratulations to Brad Paul’s on a deserved victory) but unfortunately got to read such an ill thought out post from yourself.

PISSPOOR show
after Heaney lost never congratulated his opponent ? not even the decency to to stand in the centre with the ref for the decision and just buggered off sulking went right down in my estimation I had Pauls in front before the last round anyway and the last fight he was lucky to get the decision too IMO

Knew he would win, they were all raving about super slick Frank. Tank has dysnamtie in that left hand and he can land it

Best performance to date that for CBS, SMc. has brought him on no end. RR one dimensional, poor, CBS superb condition, great game plan, worked him from the off

Yes its a genuine hate match

I used to really rate him but now I would love Jack Catterall to do a number on him big ask but he was the underdog last time and boxed out of his skin
On Friday
Sky Sports action ring walk about 22.15 Rozanski Vs Okolie should be a good match to watch

Agree John Fury is a tit.
Never been impressed with anything he said and having watched some of his historical fights he was rubbish.
He's getting glory from his son's achievements...without Tyson nobody would know who he was.

Glad Usyk won, I know I should want UK boxers to win but I don't really rate Tyson Fury.
I would much rather back AJ, especially after his performance against Ngannou.

I had it pretty much the same and I watched it. Fury possibly won the 12th and round 9 was 10-8 for Usyk.

Not many complaints from the boxing world with the outcome. i think most had Usyk as the winner. I really wanted Fury to win, those middle rounds he looked so comfortable and genuinly thought... its game over now.... but he got clipped square on the nose and i think that slowed him, then got hit with that big left hook in the 9th and he was just recovering and trying to stay in it from there.

Totally agree with the comment about John Fury, needs to be one voice in that corner and he was shouting over Sugarhill, which is not helpful at all.



Big fight at the weekend coming up... Catterall v Taylor. Should be a good one

Only one way to guarantee winning and that’s knock the other fella out don’t rely on the judges.

Fury needs to stop with the showboating and just get back to boxing.
Yes I know He’s trying to sell tickets.
But,
I’m not a fan of modern boxing

I didn’t watch it but listened to it
It sounded like.
1-3 to usyk
4-8 fury
9-12 usyk.

Spot on Jeff. I don't know how anyone could say either man "clearly" won. A 1 round swing either way at most. I think having John fury in the corner really didn't help Tyson at all. If the rematch happens then he really should be nowhere near the corner

The right result in the end. Although a split decision was abit of a shock, not sure how that judge had Fury up 7 rounds. I had him winning 4 rounds maybe 5 at a push. Great fight tho. Hopefukly the rematch will happen.

Yeah usyk will target the eye and look for a stoppage , hes a great fighter but will run out of steam with fury leaning on him. If fury jabs like he can keeping him at range he will wear him down . Usyk punches harder than he is given credit for cant wait for it.

Fury looking fired up for it. Set to be a great fight hopefully. Keep changing my mind on what the outcome will be. I think Fury at his best beats Usyk at his best, just depends what version of each of them turn up. Both intellegent boxers who can adapt within the fight. Hopefully its not spoilt by that cut opening up on Furys eye, got a sneaky feeling its going to open up early and spoil the fight, but we will see.

Usyk will look to pressure Fury for the whole 12 and literally not give him room to breath, Fury will need to keep him out with that Jab and when on the inside, lean, hold and rough Usyk up.

Its set to be a fight with a little bit of everything, no one trick ponys in this fight.

No1 vs No2 in the HW division..... and we are set to find out which one is which.

He has always been the same .Tried to bully us when tyson sparred with us as a teenager, you should have seen him when tyson was sparked out by David price in the gym . Unfortunately or fortunately for him he knows when and who to do it to. Out of the limelight tyson and peter fury are gentlemen and Tyson is very very generous. John was a useless boxer and never a bare knuckle champion trying to live tysons life for him.

I’m sure some are fine people, I have had dealings with them myself similar to Gerry.

As a bloke once told me, they would nick the gold out of your teeth if they had the chance, completely different lifestyle to ours, woman run the caravans, which are immaculate, men ruled by the fist 👊

I know a regular Boxing Day meet, hundreds of them, turn up end up scrapping in heaps, worth sitting in the car with a 4 pack and watching

What he did at the boxing was out of order, an unprovoked attack on a man half his size

John Fury is a typical traveller mong
Maybe in boxing. I've only one story of him, told to me by a disabled powerlifter, his dad had a shop near the Furys, one day Tyson messed the shop keeper about. John marched him back into the shop some time later to apologise to him, seems pretty decent if you ask me.

I have had some brilliant experiences with traveller`s over the years most recent one was about a years ago when I was able to use the jetwash I pulled up behind the guy that was using it clearly a traveller in his big flashy pickup with the family he shot a look at me then when he finished he walked round to my car and said I will pull out you pull in stay in your car there is enough time to do yours
I drove forward and he washed my car I offered him money and he laughed and said dont be daft and drove off
another time I bought some slabs at a grden centre and was loading them in my camping trailer and 2 traveller`s came over and said leave it to us
sure there are some do as you likeys (pikeys tinkers ) but they are not proper traveller`s

John Fury is a typical traveller mong and he proved that with his recent antics. To be fair though, took the focus off the fighters

Should be a great fight. I think Tyson will put him out within 8 and tbh I would be surprised if he sparked him in 4. Fighting is about ranges and Usyk has to come inside to land and then he is susceptible to one of Tyson Fury’s best shots for me and that’s his uppercut, world class. Leading with his jab, short fast hands from Fury for me, lot of lateral movement when Usyk comes in, some winging body shots and some good uppercuts, job done, hopefully. Usyk has got to have plenty, of movement, more than ever, especially the head to slip and come inside but this time I expect the fight to be at pace throughout. This ain’t no Joshua mugging

Somebody’s 0 has to go. Cmon Tyson Fury

Can’t wait

Too close to call
but I think Fury will win he is a natural with a boxing brain much better than some folk realise for a big man he can be so fast and the ability to instantly switch seamlessly and fight as well either hand I think there is a big chance he will stop Usyk
but anything can happen
I will be looking forward to seeing how Moses Itauma gets on in his journey a world champion in the making IMO

In that division he looks special, but there's not much in the way of a threat there. If he went up a division (which is only 4lbs heavier) I don't think he'd have it quite so easy

Garcia done good.

I read today that he was being a dick for months before the fight on social media, acting drunk/high etc -- and the bookies lowered the odds on him winning.
Then he bet $2 million on himself for a win, and took home $12 million, plus the fight money.
If that's true, cherrrrr-frickin-ching! $$$$$

he boxes in straight lines and barely moves his head

You missed “still” out of that

I am not sure what Ben Davidson has brought other than some over confidence and sit behind the jab.. As Gerry said, might have been to the hypnotist lol. A quality boxer with some good movement will box his head off. The only advantage Joshua has, he has a good reach and carriers serious power

I would put my money on Wilder because AJ cannot box like Fury or move like Parker did last night. Static, perfect for the bomb 💣

Wilder couldn’t set his feet last night, always on the back foot, to be fair when you see him drop the bomb his legs must be 6 foot wide, incoming missile lol, couldn’t get into those positions last bight, JP was magnificent

Yeah it has traction for sure, both can bang, both can be hurt, the question is does wilder want to continue ? His record has taken a bit of a knock over his last 5 fights and he may not want to risk it further. He's 38 now, doesn't need any more money and realistically isn't going to get anywhere near a title again for at least a couple of years with the potential 2 fury v usyk fights, then mandatory challenger's after that. And he's got to keep winning and first fury and now parked have shown how to beat him. He may choose the cash out option if the Saudis will still bankroll the AJ fight , and AJ agrees to it. But he's already said if it's a choice of a title or wilder he will go for the title . Certainly a lot of potential for 2024 to be the best heavyweight year for some time

I still think the AJ Wilder fight still has some traction. Parker has a better boxing IQ and better movement than AJ. Parker boxed superbly and didnt give Wilder the opportunity to throw his right hand never mind land it. I think Wilder was waiting for that static target but it never came. Parkers movement was slick and measured, good footwork and head movementand dangerous with that looping right hand. I dont think AJ has that his locker, he boxes in straight lines and barely moves his head. So I genuinly think Wilder would still fancy himself against AJ, be a much easier target to land the RH. ObvsAJ can bang too so i think tgats why its a good match up. . AJ says he will fight anyone and i believe he would. Parker rematch would be interesting.

That being said in here 2024 has skme real potential, especially with Saudi in the mix and the willingness for multiple tv platforms to work together which is usually what puts the brakes on big fights.

Yeah I saw him say he'd still be up for it, I can't see wilder wanting it without at least a tune up beforehand now. I'm sure Parker would like the aj rematch, not so sure AJ will go that way. I can see him fighting hrgovic , who yeah got the decision against Zhang but it was a bit of a gift imo. There are a few others getting up there too now, Anderson, bakole,Zhang . Lots of potential for a great 2024 if the fights can be made.

He is after Wilder he was saying, probably trying to beat the man who beat the men to try and restore his reputation now he thinks Wilder is on decline

He will fancy a fight with Parker I reckon, I hope Parker smokes him tbh.

There has the potential to be a lot of good heavyweight fights next year

As for Hrgović, you can see he is quality and he bet Zhang who most people wouldn’t take a second look at, monster of a man, Joshua better keep clear of Hrgović or he will get his heads boxed off!

Can't see where he goes from there really, he's looking gun shy and as that's all he really had anyway I can see his team telling him to call it quits. Bivol was decent yeah, although he did look beatable. Not sure anything can be said about hrgovic really given his opponent may as well not even bothered putting his gloves on he was that uninterested in fighting. Aj looked to have a little bit of that spite back, be very interesting to see where he goes next .

Possibly. Very humble in defeat which was nice to see, and he basically said he was at peace with himself which I though was nice to hear, to be fair, he has nothing to prove, can’t say I was a fan from a purists point of view but there’s no doubt he can bang, and he will go down in boxing legacy with a record like that.

Bivol masterclass, but he did get hurt with that body shot. Wants Callum Smith or BB next, two good fights there, when they meet and he faces the winner

Hrgović Is looking good

Great fight night that

Yep I think everyone knew that. He always had that robotic amatuer style. Textbook movements which are easy to read at the highest level. At that level you need an edge to be succesful. His edge was his fearless aggressive and poweful attacks but he lost that confidence and his edge when Ruiz concussed him. Now he appears affraid to commit for fear of being clipped again.

Wallin isnt a big hitter but he is awkward and a half decent boxer, if AJ tries to box it will go to points. If we see the old AJ he will throw everything at him for a stoppage. Need to see the latter from AJ really because we all know he cant box.

Like u say, to beat Wilder you need to put pressure on him, he does not like being bombarded, get in close so his long arms are not effective. Fury made it look easy going in and out. Itll be hard for Parker to emulate that tho being the smaller guy. Should be a decent fight but i think Wilder will smoke him with a heavy shot mid rounds.

I knew from when I first saw him he couldn’t box, zero lateral movement, planted feet, body builder who can punch with some backward and forward movement, sounds hard but that how it was, he has progressed a little, although he got the win in the second fight he looked like a ****ing robot

Usyk can box and that’s why he got battered and totally exposed. Totally wrong in both fights, head gone, he should have used his strength, bulldozered him into the corners and battered him that was his only chance, making it a dirty fight.

He is focused until he gets hit, OW is a very dangerous fight to take for me but if you are up there, there ain’t many easy ones unless you are truly world class

One of my biggest disappointments of this era is Parker, he can box but seems like he doesn’t want to get hurt and holds back, would love to see an aggressive version with kill on his mind and some bad intentions. I wish he would beat the bronze bummer but as we know, he has dynamite in the right hand, still he is friends with Fury so he will have had some good advise. He needs to be out of range slipping the bomb, in and up close, if he can keep Wilder on the back foot , make him fight at a high tempo, he stands a chance for me

In my opinion. It all went down hill for AJ after he fought Parker. Parker was the 1st fighter who didnt stand and trade shots with AJ. AJ had to chase him around the ring and actually box rather than slug. He realised soon after than he isnt that good at boxing. For years he relied on his fearless agression and power with very limited actual boxing skill. He then started going on about "learning the sweet science" changing his approach to try and learn how to actually box. He had a wobble in the dressing room before the Ruiz fight, some say he had a panick atrack, he said he was mentally drained which makes sense. His body language on the ring walk was all off aswell. He then gets clipped hard by Ruiz and no one had hit him like that before eventually losing the bout. I think AJ has alot of voices in his head, he seems to of lost his charactor we saw in his early career, the loss against Ruiz has rattled him. He lost his head in the ring after the Usyk fight. For a guy who used to preach about "staying humble" he certainly didnt follow his own advice. Now looking at AJ in the build up to this Wallin fight. He doesnt k ow what charactor he wants to be, the bad guy, the good guy, the quiet guy, the loud guy? He hasnt got a clue what his identity is anymore. He was very blunt in the interviews and just kept saying... im focused... im focused. Sounds to me like he is just acting.

As for this fight.... i think its the last chance saloon for him, it aint going to be easy against Wallin who is an akward southpaw. AJ will have to go sh*t or bust and go all out aggressive.

Probably pinning his hopes on Wilder has gone, what is he 43 now, power is the last thing to go. He has more of that than Joshua and faster hands!

oh no matter what the outcome
Im convinced Joshua WILL fight wilder as the ppv sales in the USA will probably break records And restore wilders fearsome reputation when he knocks out AJ

back before AJ got knocked out by Andy he probably had a real good chance but that boats sailed now he is gun shy and scared

Agree

Imagine if he had the aggression or iron Mike but more importantly could box and move! Dangerous fight that against OW, can’t afford any slip ups there

I wish Parker would win but he is certainly up against it there with the bronze bummer

If the results happen as expected I wonder if Joshua will eventually have the balls to step through the ropes against Wilder, that will be a contest of two hammers and if he wins that, unlikely, he may restore some real credibility setting him up for a Fury fight?

I think Joshua should go to a hypnotist and get drummed into him you wont be scared of being hit
you wont be scared to commit to actually throw punches like your not scared to death etc

Disappointed tbh, I thought in a couple of years time he could have been one of the best boxers to come out of this country for a long time. Seen a few of his fights, leaves himself square open at times and lacks timing if I am being ultra critical, let’s hope he keeps boxing and he certainly should!!! Maybe another trainer takes him to another level

And… Rodriquez can’t make that weight for much longer, when he steps up he will lose

I like that lad, wears his heart on his sleeve so to speak, likes a fight

TBH i saw him as a British champion level, so can’t knock the lad at all. Not the best defense or movement, powerful and likes a war which could be his downfall against a quality boxer. I thought the same, was blowing early and just didn’t seem at the races for me, took far too many unnecessary punches in that fight trying to walk him down, lucky he got the stoppage because he was down on points for me by quite a way

Don’t think there is an easy fight when you are knocking around that level though, unless you are very special

Easy to pass comments when you are not on the end of it

Poor performance from CBS that, tried to walk him down and got his head boxed off. Thought the last couple of body shots looked to hurt the Pole, took the wind straight out of his sales, then doesn’t come back out for the next round, can only think his ribs have gone

Thought the Garcia fight was poor, danced around the ring avoiding contact for most of the fight Garcia. Duarte was poor, out of range then stood in front of him, couldn’t plant his feet to throw either. Bit of a lucky punch for Garcia for me after dancing around for so long, but he landed. Duarte wants to watch GGG and how he cuts the ring off, that was missing. Can’t say I’m a big fan of Garcia, can give it but can’t take it, reminds me a lot of Khan, gangly with fast hands. Fight people like that and they have to put it on them with multiple punches and Duarte didn’t, or you have to be super slick on the counter like Tank. I think Duarte will have learned a lot from that though.

I’m sure Garcia will be pleased too, since DH and BH we’re tipping him to lose!

Some performance from Gill that!

Managed to keep CC at range better this time around, super sharp hand speed and good movement, didn’t get sucked in to CC fight like last time. What a fight though that, woman’s boxing is certainly on the map now

Congratulations to Katie Taylor
For weeks Katie Taylor said that her rematch with Chantelle Cameron would be a completely different fight and the Irish icon was true to her word, scoring a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Chantelle Cameron to claim the undisputed super lightweight championship. Official scores were 98-92, 96-94, and 95-95.

Well Katie Taylors last throw of the dice tonight, has her work cut out for me, she had better be on top form plus some because CC gave her a once over last time, too strong for me. Can’t see how KT is going to do it if I’m honest other than box, move and be super slick, she has the faster hands, but that is energy zapping, last time she got drawn into CC game, can not afford to be in a tear up. If it’s anything like the first fight it should be great watch because they can both box

Good bit of refereeing that. What a great venue the York Hall is, great atmosphere

Nice one mate.

He won by quite a margin and it may well be as that margin could stand him in good stead to go one better than what Denzel managed.

We never had any doubt that he could pull it off and the plan worked to a treat.

I love the lad and before the title fight said he would be paying me a visit with the belt should he pull it off.

I haven’t seen the bare knuckle mate but was down at Fenton manor last week watching the show put on by bad to the bone.

Go oarnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Nathan.

Above all else hope that all boxers come home safely.

Edit - The hard graft done is in the bank. Stay disciplined, stick to the plan and go get the best return possible.

Boy, is this lad going let all his emotions out should he become British champion. Not only for himself but for his father Joe who sadly took his own life shortly before Nathan becoming midlands area champion.

Everything well and truly crossed.

Good luck Nathan.

Sounds about right to me. Fury hit FN with some good shots, just didn’t phase him, that’s when you know you are in for a hard night

Look at what he did with Otto Wallin, well off the game that night and that cut could have finished him!

To be fair, he openly admits he is mentally I’ll which is sad really but I guess that’s why he is up and down, I’m guessing there may have been a loss of focus for FN thinking he would walk it. He could have and should have jabbed his head off!

Well after watching the fight a few times now
Im going to be unpopular
as I think it was very very close but Fury just nicked it with the help of his point scoring Jabs thru out the fight after the Knockdown

EDIT
It turns out that despite Ngannou's best efforts, Fury managed to land more punches over the ten rounds.
According to CompuBox, the Salford-born star managed to land 71 of the 223 jabs he threw at his opponent.
On the other hand, Ngannou threw 231 punches but only made contact with 59 of his attempts.
Fury also reigned supreme in six of the ten rounds, while Ngannou had his time to shine in the third, fourth and eight rounds

Agree. I think the USYK fight will happen around May

To be fair it is what he needed, he won’t play about next time, typical gypsy showboating and gloating, out on the piss the night before too

Don’t judge the Usyk fight on that it will be totally different to fighting FN!!!

FN deserves another shot too after a performance like that, although I would expect a different outcome

Who is the fat sausage now?!

The whole thing was a farce. Two hours from the Wardley fight to the Fury fight. What a bore that was after an entertaining undercard. The fight itself was much better than expected and Fury lost it, but the WBC couldn’t have that (despite the belt not being up for grabs) and the judges obliged.

Fair play to Ngannou, he was solid and took the injustice on the chin, he obviously knew it was coming.

I very much doubt we will ever see Fury in the ring fighting Usyk. He would rather keep the unbeaten ‘Gypsy King’ myth alive as, for my money, Usyk outsmarts and outboxes him every time.

My guess is he retires again, then comes back (again) for another big money fight against a non boxer or two.

Without the Usyk fight can we really say that Fury was the generational great that we were lead to believe? Who does he really have on his record apart from Wilder and a 39 year old Klitschko? And while the Wilder fights were entertaining can we really say that beating him over 3 fights was such a feat?

Yes, obviously Wilder has freakish power in his fists, but how many tests has he really had other than Fury? He sat on the WBC belt fighting very beatable challengers twice a year for 5 years. Smart, but not exactly the stuff of greatness.

FN is a striker, unbelievable power, 17 stone of pure muscle, and knows how to train for a fight, think he opened a lot of peoples eyes.

Very, very powerful man. As much as I like Fury he is a boxer who carries a lot of weight but he does not have the dynamite for the power to weight ratio and the devastating one shot power, aka Wilder lol

I've just watched it this morning and Francis did well for a "nobody" didn't he?! I reckon he might have a decent future in the ring. This was less of a mockery to boxing than some of the recent fights, and as long as people keep buying the ppv then they will keep happening. I'd like to see ngannou in with old windmill one day, it would be fun while it lasted

Basically he got the game plan all wrong, expected FN to come out swinging to he could counter him. FN brilliantly disciplined, wait for Fury to throw then tried to counter, who has the biggest hammer

Heavyweight’s, takes one shot, fury was put down in the 3rd, landed but off balance and FN caught him on the side of the head. Scrappy really and for the first time ever Fury looked clueless until he strung a few jabs together

Can’t knock FN, machine, rock solid, full of muscle and would happily stand toe to toe with anybody

They reckon Fury was out the night before

Fight like this do make a mockery out of boxing but that fight probably shocked us all, takes one single punch. As for the Fury’s I am inclined to think as mentioned below, you can take the gypsy from the camp but you can’t take the camp from the gypsys, mongs, John Fury what a cock, he fancies a slice of the cake with the real Tyson

Shouldn’t be allowed to fight for the bets either unless they have progressed down the boxing route

I would like to see AJ fight Wilder and I agree, both have the power, Wilder has the success rate though.I don’t think anybody likes Wilder except for a few yanks!

Agree, Ortiz could have won both of those, far superior boxer, just succumbed to the bomb

Fury exposed Wilder as a one trick pony, aggressive fighter with a wide stance looking to land the bomb, put him on the back foot, clueless. Master class from Fury in all 3 fights, first one boxed him on the back foot, second one battered him on the front foot, third one bit of everything. For a big guy his movement, and skills are incredible!

Usyk is a great boxer no doubt but you could argue his record is not the greatest, Bellew etc who I can’t say I am a big boxing fan off. Still, you can only fight who is around at the time

End of the day we are being super critical because any of the above could wipe us out with the wind off their gloves

Ive not called usyk a great Chris. Not sure where you keep plucking that from? But he has 3 belts. That makes him a heavyweight champion! The dubois fight was one where some saw it as a low blow, others saw it as a fair shot and dubois was robbed. At the end of the day what happened, happened and you can only go with the refs decision. Personally it looked like a clean shot to me. But would usyk have got up within the 10 count? Who knows. He didn't need to because the ref gave him time for a low blow.
Agreed wilder is a nasty ******* , can't stand the man and hope he gets beat every time he sets foot in the ring . He had a few challengers for it too?10 of them And he's been on his way to losing a few fights along the way and got out of jail with a big right hand. Even that Artur spika was beating him until he got sloppy , and the over the hill chisora absolutely destroyed spika with ease . Ortiz was winning both fights until the right landed too even though he's god knows what age. His record has great numbers I'll agree, but names on that record? Not so much. I agree aj doesn't stand much of a chance, especially these days as it's pretty clear he's mentally weakened . But wilder can be hurt too so if aj could land first anything is possible. Not that I think he would because of being gun shy these days. Can't see either of them having much left in them tbh, 2 or 3 fights each maybe .

And yet he holds 3 of the 4 belts

And Dubious was SO close, are you going to say that he would be a great if he won too lol. Usyk ain’t put them together.The same collection Joshua put together before he was exposed again and again and again. Like it or not the belt was the WBC who nobody would challenge for whilst Joshua was doing the sweepings up. Wilder would absolutely well and truly obliterate him, the man ain’t no defence!

And then a man who is mentally I’ll, 10 stone overweight with a drugs and alcohol problem as a result, does major draining weight loss and comes along and beats the WBC dosser 3 times, now that is something that NO former heavyweight champ has ever done and probably will not again, that alone is pretty, unbelievable, ****ing amazing!!!

I think Wilder is the most dangerous fight for Usyk, and he won’t take it

Wilder is a nasty MF, but as somebody once said, you don’t go in there to tickle each other lol

But you said he wasn't a true heavyweight champion ? And yet he holds 3 of the 4 belts? And yet old windmill isn't a champion anymore either? Granted he can't be called a heavyweight great and at his age it's doubtful he has got enough time left to ever be called one. Even if he beats fury and wilder . Don't think he's got much chance against fury Tbh, but wilder I'm not so sure. That one could go either way for me.
In reality, who has wilder fought? He's got a massively padded résumé himself , other than fury he's got nobody. And the man is an utter tool. Saying he won't retire happy if he doesn't have a body on his record. He can't box for toffee either, all he has is that power, hence he came up short against someone with actual skills ,even though he made every excuse under the sun he simply wasn't the better fighter . Not even close

Great boxer USYK no doubt, athlete. not a true heavyweight and who has he fought at heavy so far, a well over the hill Chisora, Joshua who can’t box for toffee, body builder, and he lost or should have against Dubios so that makes him a great does it, wins over those 3 lol, come back when he has clocked up over 20 then we can talk about greatness

And all of those 3 are not even close to Fury or even Wilder.

I don’t dislike Joshua, great role model, but I knew from the start he was not the one that everybody was making him out to be, his fights were cherry picked over the years, he is a very powerful lad but lacks boxing skills, and movement, massively

And as for Holyfield he was a proper boxer, athlete, and warrior and you can’t compare USYK with him, he has been in wars, look at the fights he had!

Take him out of the equation and it only leaves Wilder as a true heavyweight champion for me. Far too much politics in boxing, the belts should dictate who fights who next.

and that dikhead father of his is a disgrace an embarrassment

Made me laugh, he was offering Mike Tyson out, let’s have a straightener lol. I am quite confident in saying that MT (who truly is one of the greatest of all time) could put him out in 3 if he wanted to and that’s if he didn’t catch him right with the first two

Right from day one when everyone was slagging Tyson Fury off
I could see he was trying to sell himself and could see he had a boxing brain and became a BIG fan
he can box either hand and switch seamlessly very gifted boxer

but recently I have gone right off him its not about the sport its simply greed and money he could easily have made the usk fight but was just to greedy

and that dikhead father of his is a disgrace an embarrassment

Can’t knock him for what has gone before but to then take the proverbial out of such a great sport I find galling in all honesty. Should be about becoming undisputed and been one of the best in your era. To then fight someone that’s never boxed before solely for the money (he’s made as it is) really does take the 9155 out of the sport and out of himself really. Not for me.

I don't think you can put Tyson in the same category as his brother. Tyson is the heavyweight champion of the world, twice now. He earned those belts. He's gone to the reigning champions back yard and taken them from them both times, he's gone into the ring with the biggest knock out artist the division has ever seen and beaten him multiple times. . His brother is all show and no go, he's not good enough to win belts at even European level so is taking the money option. This is just a warm up for usyk, nothing more than that. But one he is being paid an awfully large sum of money for, and it's his job after all. If anyone was offered a huge sum of money to do their usual job, but made a lot easier ,they'd take it.

Well, the main concern for me is where JC goes next, who are the fights. I wish he would be another British world champion but he has some learning to do for me as he steps up. last night he will have learned a lot though. Thought Linares was very good with the footwork, also managed to get his left outside JC right foot for most of the night which in turn, JC struggled to land any really powerful shots, swinging across his body, very wide stance too which didn’t help either. Good news he got the decision but I wouldn’t say it was as convincing as I would have like to have seen, he needs to get some fights in, but hey ho, up JC

Don't think it's much of a test Tbh, Linares is so far past his best it's a bit of a joke imo. Lost his last 3 and is just a name for a jacks record. Should be a very comfortable win, probably on points but possibly late stoppage

I thought the undercard was brilliant had some cracking fights thought it was a shame Terri Harper got a draw think she had edged it and done enough for the win and Josh was doing so well until he got stopped and that was a fair stoppage IMO
and that bloody BUNCE should be sacked his awful voice I just cant listen to it either

Was a good scrap and a clash of styles, knew they would both go for wit though

Have to feel for Warrington because I think he had done the better work and was edging it for me until he was caught. Question the stoppage though, should have let it go one more for me. Think there will be a rematch?

yes CANELO bossed the fight completely won every round apart from maybe one Charlo`s record suggested he was going to be a real threat but he was nothing like I expected

What a performance that was! No respect for Charlo, just walked him down, happy to take one to give one, proper solid shots from Canelo

Charlo, pretty clueless and scared to throw (no surprise), says a lot about Canelo

Can’t see him getting anything G myself, Joyce the jab is a bit one dimensional for me, needs to throw some big overhand shots.

Smith must of had a big problem he did not turn up
Apparently he had to cut 42lbs (three stone) to make weight for his rematch and had a lower back injury
and glad Azim got some rounds in he will have learnt from that

Well that was probably the weirdest night of boxing ive ever been to.
Moran absolutely blitzed . Azim put under alot of pressure , Dave allen never threw any punches while frazer clarke tried to wipe out his meat and two veg ! And then Liam smith who looked like he had had his voice box and windpipe removed. He never got started hardly threw anything and was struggling to breath properly from round 2 . He never spoke in his corner and never responded to what was being said to him .His ankles are always like that he over extends and has such a wide stance . Never seen him throw so few punches and absolutely no power in them .He was rubbing his eyes constantly like his vision was impaired maybe from the punch that floored him . Eubank was so much better than the first fight as smith was so much worse !

Similar to me, wild punches though, how many missed!

Liam Smith just didn’t look at the races, flat? Eubank just tried to power him out, he had no choice.

Azim copped for some there, coming up the levels now, he got hit with some good shots too

Well i detest Eubank, ****ing hate him. But Smith was never in that. He got smashed apart from round 2 until the ref finally put him out of his misery. No idea what the difference this time but Eubank was determined and Smith was never ever in it.

Yea, it was easy enough in the end and the Ukrainian was tough enough.Azim had a very good 8th round. Clarke’s crowd could learn a thing or two from the Mcguigan’s about building a career for a fighter.

To me he felt it, didn’t fancy a follow up and conned the ref.

As for Dubois I thought he was getting better from round 6 and then for someone so young to then look like he’d all of a sudden hit a brick wall doesn’t bode well for me.

Played the ref there Usyk, that was game over.

Dubious can’t take a punch either, gets rocked far to easily, don’t get me wrong it was a stiff jab and he was stepping in with it but that should not have put him down, think he was exhausted

Based on that Tyson Fury whoops Usyk arse, KO

Was praying Dubois got through that 9th then it could have set me up nicely for the 10th.

Had that not have been given as a low blow I just don’t see Usyk staying down and giving his belts up.

No way was that shot low.
