[Boom-Boom-18]

Cracking fight.

[Magic]

Jesus this is brilliant.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They better not stop this early.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Praying that the cut doesn't stop it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm glad Selby's trainer basically told the doctor to fuck off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Selby should just go for a low blow and claim championship advantage like WWE.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd love to see a rematch.

[Magic]

Sheep shagger looking for excuses already.

[SincereTheRebel]

Frampton is next in line

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Judge who scored that to Selby should be sacked.

[Magic]

Split decision. :lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One judge only gave it to Warrington 115-113 which is also a joke.

[SincereTheRebel]

They really need to reevaluate judging in boxing. There should be a judge watching on a tv in the back or get one overlooking the ring like the umpire in tennis.

[Magic]

Var.

[Alex]

Split decision. :lol:

Aye, that was absolute bollocks.

Still, got the correct result in the end. All Leeds, aren't we? :cool:

[John]

Tyson Fury really needs to shut the fuck up about the Klitschko fight now. On the BT build up show he's just had Klitschko as unbeatable before he turned up when he'd lost three fights previously, and on a run of twenty five consecutive title defenses when it was twenty.

The man is an industrial strength whopper.

[Disco]

I'd love to see him get beaten but I assume his opponent is a nobody.

[John]

A bloke in his forties from the weight below whose entire record consists of jobbers without Wikipedia pages, with the exception of Herbie Hide.

[Shindig]

I like the stupid man. It's a sport in need of characters.

[SincereTheRebel]

I understand he has gone through health issues and a massive weight drop. But this type of opponent is embarrassing. Boxrec says his opponent is the second best cruiserweight in Albanian and there are only two of them. Vitali took four years off and came back to an imemdaite WBC title shot.

[John]

He's been flattened by a cruiserweight before. If this bloke comes out and bingos him the way Breidis Prescott did Khan it'll make my month.

[Baz]

I’m hoping (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?61-The-Betting-Thread&p=273828&viewfull=1#post273828) Fury absolutely beasts him early doors - funnily enough like Amir Khan did to Phil Greco.

[John]

This Flanagan v Hooker fight has been excellent.

[Magic]

I've got Fury in the 4th and 5th.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just look at Ricky Hatton :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And then I got high?

:lol:

[Max Power]

Because I Got High transitioning into Return of the Mack. Fury is the man :D

[Magic]

This is pathetic.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fights in the crowd, they're probably seething at the shitness.

[Mike]

Yeah, rubbish this.
I did laugh at him watching a fight in the crowd though.

[Magic]

The crowd. :D

[John]

Fury stopping to watch the much better fight in the crowd is as elegant a summation of this fight as you could hope for.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a fucking shambles this is.

[Mike]

All done in a whimper

[Magic]

:lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Can we get a replay of the crowd fight because that was better.

[Kikó]

It was always going to be shit. Flanagan Hooker was a decent scrap- think it was the right result.

[Magic]

I've got Fury in the 4th and 5th.

Lol so I won.

[Queenslander]

My gut tells me Horn will be knocked the fuck out but if he wins the trolling of Americans will be a thing of beauty.

[Queenslander]

Crawford 1st round

[Queenslander]

10/9 10/9 crawford

[Queenslander]

10/8

[Queenslander]

Horn is not anywhere near Crawfords level.

[Queenslander]

One sided. Horn has a lot of work to do

[SincereTheRebel]

I thiught Horn would be a lot better but crawford is on another level. Stopped him in 9.

[SincereTheRebel]

Surprised it wasn't in Australia again as Crawford has no problem travelling. Crawford is so good, i dont see anyone beating him at 147 anytime soon. Your country did well against Pac Queenslander but this was just too much for him.

[Queenslander]

Yeah mate I was well aware of Crawford going into this fight. Horn is a boof and will never reach Crawfords level.

[SincereTheRebel]

Damm. I forgot about the Charlo vs tyrout and Santa Cruz vs Abner bouts. I'll try and watch them later.

GGG gave up one of his belts (IBF) is a big surprise

[niko_cee]

Tyson Fury really needs to shut the fuck up about the Klitschko fight now. On the BT build up show he's just had Klitschko as unbeatable before he turned up when he'd lost three fights previously, and on a run of twenty five consecutive title defenses when it was twenty.

The man is an industrial strength whopper.

In fairness to him, comprehensively outboxing Klitschko to the point where even the judges had to accept the fact, in Germany, probably ranks as one of the best performances by a British heavyweight ever.

I disliked him for a long time, and lolled at him punching his own face with the best of them, but I'd so love him to come back and dominate 'AJ' from range whilst casually abusing the LGBT community as he goes. The seethe would be incredible.

[Spikey M]

He’s a proper cunt and pretty much all of his views run contrary to mine, but I can’t help but like him despite it all.

[Baz]

Tyson Fury is much more likeable than “AJ.”

[Spikey M]

‘AJ’ is a wholesome family guy, apparently. But I’ve heard some pretty shady shit about his pre-boxing life.

[Baz]

TTH will never become the next lipstick alley with vague posts like that. Spill the tea.

[Spikey M]

I’ve only heard vague shit. Basically he was a heavy for some underworld people of something. Fuck knows if there’s any truth in it, it’s Twitter talk.

And yet...

[Boom-Boom-18]

Chisora vs Takam is a proper war.

[niko_cee]

Whyte looks a bit Butterbean here.

[SincereTheRebel]

Mad punch-up. Mikey Garcia is facing robert easter later. Easter has a large height and reach advantage (76inches to 68inches) and he is @7 which is good value. Easter does not really fight in a tall fighters style and he is known as a weight bully.

[Alex]

Whyte and Parker was a really good tear up. I really enjoyed the whole card actually, top to bottom. Very good night of boxing.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Fury vs Wilder looks set, great fight.

[John]

Great fight four years ago. Fury has embarrassed himself in these two comeback fights.

[-james-]

Why do they have to apologise for swearing after a boxing match at 10pm?

[Boom-Boom-18]

I am not sure why BT are bothered but it's also live in America.

[Magic]

In Vegas then. He'll get destroyed.

[Magic]

Warrington v Frampton will be awesome.

[SincereTheRebel]

Would have prefered it in the UK.

[Shindig]

Nah, he beat Klitschko on an away day.

[SincereTheRebel]

From my perspective. I want Wilder vs Joshua in the UK so I can go to the event. Wilder vs Fury in the UK would be better for Wilder vs Joshua.

[niko_cee]

I don't think I've ever gone more full circle on a person, sporting or otherwise, than Fury. I would Kevin Keegan love it if he bored Wilder to death on points and then did the same to AJ.

[Alex]

Same.

Also, this is fantastic:

[SincereTheRebel]

Remember when he called David Price ”that plummer from Liverpool, the big stiff idiot”. I laughed out loud everytime

https://youtu.be/fNYLvd-QUrQ

[John]

The funniest post fight interview remains Tony Thompson going fifteen miles off topic and putting out an appeal for disability equipment.

https://youtu.be/gVxcTuhokog

[Alex]

Remember when he called David Price ”that plummer from Liverpool, the big stiff idiot”. I laughed out loud everytime

https://youtu.be/fNYLvd-QUrQ

I like how the interviewer stops him because he can tell he's probably about to say something a bit too controversial for live television, but then immediately changes his mind and let's him carry on, only to be met with:

"And you know your gay lover, Tony Bellew? I'll fight him in between rounds."

:D

"You. Are. GETTING it!"

:D

That's ace. I can't believe I've never seen that. Thanks.

[Baz]

Tyson Fury is the best thing in boxing.

[Shindig]

I thought the Wilder one was great.

Hey, we're all being friendly and then "I'LL KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT!"

[SincereTheRebel]

It's his accent that gets me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Fury moves really well for a big man but I cant see his style shutting down wilder like it did wlad. Wilder is way to wild and will just swing until he hits something.

[Boom-Boom-18]

500,000 people are currently watching the KSI vs Logan Paul stream which costs £7.50 on YouTube. Crazy numbers and the main event is not on until 21:30.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

*500,000 morons.

[John]

Wrong thread.

[Shindig]

I hope they both get cabbaged. Or Logan kills KSI whilst launching into a racist tirade.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd prefer if they both died tbh.

[John]

That's fun.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Amir Khan is fighting tonight on Sky Sports (10pm).

[SincereTheRebel]

Khan looked horrible. Getting dropped from this type of the opponent is shocking. Then he makes it clear he would rather fight Pacman instead of the brook. He gets tortured vs any other high level 147 pound fighter..

Garcia vs Porter in a few hours

[SincereTheRebel]

Its Canelo vs GGG 2 this weekend. Canelo failed a drug test between now and the first fight. It ended in a draw. I picked Canelo but I had GGG winning. For this fight, even after the allegedly tainted meat abuse. Ive got Canelo winning. Usually the fighter who has better movement usually always does better the second fight again the big puncher. You can view the first view on BT Sport YouTube.



https://youtu.be/1vIbkYAIRZM?t=685

[Pepe]

I haven't watched either of them fight since the first one. I think Alvarez is the better boxer, but hopefully he worked on his stamina so that he can last more than two rounds this time.

[Baz]

I’m rooting for triple G.

Canelo is a dick.

[SincereTheRebel]

Its refreshing to see two white boys at the top of the sport in boxing try and beat the shit out of each other. I'm struggling to think of another boxing fight involving them. The UFC (as far as I can tell) have it locked down.

[niko_cee]

Fury v Klitschko.

Unless you're also wanting a right old tear up, which virtually never happens in a title fight, regardless of who is fighting.

[SincereTheRebel]

Fury v Klitschko.

Unless you're also wanting a right old tear up, which virtually never happens in a title fight, regardless of who is fighting.

Fury was a contender at the time. What I mean is both Canelo and GGG are probably top 5 on most peoples lists.

[bruhnaldo]

i think Canelo wins if it goes to cards. Toward the end of the last fight it seemed like he was starting to come back and figure GGG out.

I think GGG can win if Canelo's mental isn't on point following all of those drug tests and shit.

I want GGG to win but think Canelo probably outboxes him if he's smart.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

GGG is going to destroy the ginger prick.

[bruhnaldo]

I got tickets to go watch at the movie theater so it should be a lot of fun. The first fight was fucking awesome. Shame the cards fucking ruined it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/45534070

Mayweather/Pacquiao 2 later this year.

I really didn't see Mayweather coming out of retirement. He doesn't need the money and 50-0 was a nice round record.

[Pepe]

Does anyone still give a shit about either of them?

[Waffdon]

How has GGG managed to be fucked over twice in a row? Holy hell.

[niko_cee]

It's boxing, it's literally the most corrupt sport in the world. All the money is on Alvarez's side. Although this was less of a screw job than Byrd's card last time round and far play to him for going the distance twice with Golovkin, regardless of the cards.

[SincereTheRebel]

I dont see the robbery here. This was much more competitive than the first fight. I thought GGG won the first and Canelo edged the second. Hopefully, they go on and find a third time, but with one or two fights between. Its a good entertaining fight. Canelo made a statement by controlling the center of the ring the whole fight. GGG showed a level to his game that I didn't think he had. The abililty to fight while moving backwards. Respect to both.

Hopefully we get more fightrs bewtween them until one of them is lying on the canvas in a coma.

[Boom-Boom-18]

AJ due to start any moment. Struggling to get excited about this fight, wish it was Wilder on the other side.

[Mike]

This other guy has the best ring walk music!!

[Disco]

This is literally the beginning of Rocky 4.

[Kikó]

What a load of shit

[Mike]

They’re dragging this out.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Wow, interesting start. Looks like Joshua has a broken nose.

[Kikó]

Some boom from Joshua again.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wilder fight will be mega.

[SincereTheRebel]

Wilder fight will be mega.

It sure will be. Hopefully ot will be innApril. Im lookinh to book hotels in Wembley from now :drool:

[niko_cee]

BBC say 13th April 2019, if you're booking.

[SincereTheRebel]

That is AJ next fight 100% but an opponenet isnyet to be named. Talk is the Wilder vs Fury winner, but they could well through some other fighter I don't care to see in there.

[Shindig]

Joshua's lot mentioned Whyte rather than Fury. Fury responded by calling them shithouses.

[Spikey M]

Fury vs Joshua would be shit. Fury is nothing special since coming back, but at the silane time I don’t see him getting knocked out. Boring points win in every round for ‘AJ’.

[Kikó]

Don't see it going that way at all. If Fury is near his best he'd win on points, he's the better technical boxer who would try to dance around Joshua. Joshua would try to stop Fury and judging by his power, could.

The thing is, I doubt Fury is anywhere near his best.

[SincereTheRebel]

Too many fighters live of old work for too long. Fury has had health and mental issues. I don't believe he is anywhere near his Wlad level. You can't judge him really on his two comeback fights because the opposiuton was so poor. Actually, I should know better. He foguht Chisora and Hammer in the two fights before Wlad and it worked out for him. Just listening to Fury talk. His voice is horrible and sounds like he is still recovering.

[Shindig]

I still feel like he'd step up his prep for it. Hell, he's stepping up for Wilder, presumably. If he makes it past Wilder, he's ready.

[Spikey M]

Don't see it going that way at all. If Fury is near his best he'd win on points, he's the better technical boxer who would try to dance around Joshua. Joshua would try to stop Fury and judging by his power, could.

The thing is, I doubt Fury is anywhere near his best.

Nothing we’ve seen would indicate that he’d be anywhere near his best. He’s trading off his name at present. He might nick an early round but there’s no way Joshua doesn’t win via points or otherwise. Lucky knockout blow aside.

[Spikey M]

It’s a shame we didn’t get to see them fight with them both at their best though. Tyson would have shown Joshua right up.

[Alex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXgRkTIPi20

This fight was worth making purely for the build up alone. :D

I really hope Fury beats him. I think if he's anywhere near even approaching his best he does, too. That's obviousy quite a big if though.

[five time]

Are they having the press conference in an empty room? No atmosphere whatsoever :D

[phonics]

I'm really quite bored of the, 'I'll pretend I want it to kick off now' thing to build hype. I find it hard to take you seriously that you really want to 'test the power' when you get pushed then get fended off by the combined might of Keith Chegwin and a bloke who bounces at Walkabout most nights.

[Shindig]

They're too matey to really pull it off. What boxing needs is a proper headcase. I'm amazed the prison system hasn't turned up another Mike Tyson.

[Disco]

Why even take any notice of the build up, it's just trying to sell the fight to morons.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Good heavyweight fight on channel 5 at the moment.

[Shindig]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JyUNZzctPA

The bloke in the suit got a broken jaw.

[SincereTheRebel]

I dont care what type of protection I have on. No professional boxer is punching me.

What was they all thinking including Wilder :face:

[Lewis]

National Treasure Tyson Fury was good on the Roe Jogan podcast.

'And you know your gay lover Eddie Bravo?'
'Alright, okay.'

[Shindig]

National treasure.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Hughie Fury vs Pulev about to start on Channel 5. Should be decent.

[Boom-Boom-18]

The state of that cut over Fury's eye.

[Baz]

Fury was very underwhelming.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mayweather has signed a deal with Rizin (Japanese MMA promotion).

Will fight Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan on New Years Eve.

Weight and rules will be finalised in the coming weeks.

https://i.imgur.com/UNZudI3.png

The guy is 27-0 in Kickboxing and 4-0 in MMA (although 3 of the guys he has faced in MMA had 0 wins, 2 were making their debut and 1 had already lost 3 times).

[Yevrah]

I know nothing about boxing, but that Japanese chap looks tiny, so unless the rules involve a fair bit of MMA he has no chance, surely?

[Spikey M]

Surely Mayweather has enough money to not have to live this circus shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He seems to be a bit of a knee specialist looking at his kickboxing record/highlights so that will go out the window.

Floyd will also not allow takedowns probably, elbows gone etc.

It will be effectively a glorified boxing match I'd imagine which gives the Japanese lad no chance.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surely Mayweather has enough money to not have to live this circus shit.
I don't even know how they're paying him.

Mayweather probably makes more in one fight than Rizin do across multiple events.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They've also held 10 events at the Saitama Super Arena and only sold it out once.

[SincereTheRebel]

As they guy Floyd is fighting has fought in MMA and kickboxing, this will definitely be a boxing match which is disappointing. I just want to see someone kick Floyd in the head. Its a cool idea though having a major fight on new years eve. Why Floyd is fighting in Japan though is strange. There has to be another motive behind this besdies the cheque.

[Pepe]

Nah, it's all about the cheque. Well, that and this is probably a lot less work than preparing for a boxing match against a proper contender. So yeah, easy money for "Money" Mayweather.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I imagine that the only way he's getting the money he needs is if they're giving him a high percentage of PPV and/or ticket sales.

[Baz]

Absolute farce.

[SincereTheRebel]

I don't know anything about the guy from Japan but I think its.safe to say whoever wins. It does not put any fighter any higher in any type of ranking system .

[Queenslander]

Pretty sure Mayweather has ongoing tax problems with the IRS.

[Shindig]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4954016/Floyd-Mayweather-coughs-22MILLION-taxes.html

Apparently not?

[John]

The Japanese bloke Mayweather is fighting is twenty years old. If Floyd gets biffed, whatever the rules, it'll be hilarious.

[Queenslander]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4954016/Floyd-Mayweather-coughs-22MILLION-taxes.html

Apparently not?

My mistake. This is bloody bonkers then...

Maybe they will back a strip club move into Japan?

[SincereTheRebel]

My mistake. This is bloody bonkers then...

Maybe they will back a strip club move into Japan?

Are clubs like that not popular in Japan or even legal?

[Queenslander]

Are clubs like that not popular in Japan or even legal?

Sorry I mean Floyd getting his strip clubs into Japan.

[SincereTheRebel]

Floyd has put a whole stop to the thing. He wasnt looking to be headkicked at all.

[Baz]

Does anyone actually think Bellew has a chance tonight?

[Bam]

Does anyone actually think Bellew has a chance tonight?

Does anyone actually care? Fuck paying to watch him.

[Kikó]

Bellew talking complete nonsense at the end , clearly concussed.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Bellew talking complete nonsense at the end , clearly concussed.

What did he say?

[John Arne]

At one point he Barry Hearn was a great boxer.

[SincereTheRebel]

The more I see Bellew fight and talk, the more the grows on me.

[Shindig]

I like the guy, his heart's really in it.

[Kikó]

At one point he Barry Hearn was a great boxer.

Yeah and he repeated the same thing about 5 times then kissed Usyk a similar number of times. He was clearly puddled. Good to see him sparked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Speaking to TMZ, Mayweather said on Wednesday night that the he intends to go ahead with the exhibition bout against Nasukawa at the end of this year. “We’re gonna make it happen. It’s a no-brainer. Just because I’m retired from boxing, I still make appearances worldwide and make a ton of money,” he told TMZ.

The undefeated boxer would not be putting his record on the line, as the bout would be slated as a short exhibition bout under boxing rules. “Rules,” Mayweather said, “It’s gonna be a little boxing exhibition. No kicking. I’m moving around with the guy for 9 minutes…”

What a pussy.

[Pepe]

Why would anyone pay to watch that shit?

[SincereTheRebel]

I reckon those Japanese will pay to see him. I imagine he is worshipped like a god over there. I can't see this working in any English speaking country.

[phonics]

Yeah I can't imagine white people paying ludicrous prices to watch him box someone from a different sport...

[SincereTheRebel]

You dont pull the same heist twice

[John]

Yeah I can't imagine white people paying ludicrous prices to watch him box someone from a different sport...

I had no idea only white people spoke English.

That subconscious racism. :drool:

[Disco]

How insecure must he be to go around telling everyone that he still makes loads of money. Get a grip and enjoy your sporting irrelevance.

[Shindig]

MC Hammer did that all the time on his gangsta album.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I hadn't seen this picture until today:

https://photo.boxingscene.com/uploads/fury-hatton.jpg

It's amazing.

[Pepe]

Fuck me, Hatton looks ninety.

[Lewis]

Tyson Fury's weight loss strikes me as a bit 'unnatural'. He was either not as heavy as he claims to have been, or he has been using something he shouldn't have been.

[Disco]

Positive mental attitude mate. Like Linford Christie.

By which I mean steroids. Like Linford Christie.

[Shindig]

I bet Ricky and him share the same dealer.

[SincereTheRebel]

I really cant see Fury pulling it off. He dealt with Wlad easy in second gear. I cant see Wilder falling for those trick again.

[Shindig]

I'd back Fury to hell and back if he turns up to the ring in a mascot suit.

[Queenslander]

Another totally legimate boxing card in Brisbane last night... Mundine made millions for playing heel. Horn is not only a thick as shit his promoters are some how even more thick.

[Alex]

I'm really looking forward to it tomorrow. It just feels like a proper, old-fashioned, heavyweight event. More so than anything Joshua has managed to date, even the Klitschko fight.

Although I do have this niggling feeling that I'm getting caught up in the comeback story and he might just get completely embarrassed, my prevailing feeling is that Fury will win it. I think if he's even somewhat back to his best then he's comfortably good enough to avoid that big right and just box his way to victory.

I think he's played the build-up very well, too. Obviously I realise a lot of showboating goes on in the lead up to a fight like this, but I genuinely think he's got under Wilder's skin a bit towards the end of it. That's very much his domain, and I think he's used it to his advantage quite well.

I feel the same way, this is a massive fight.

Tyson Fury always used to come across as very unlikable to me but I have spent a lot of time watching the build up to this fight and I am a fan. I will be hoping he pulls it off and I will then be hoping he goes on to beat Joshua.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Boom cheering for the white man...

Can you believe this SincereTheRebel?

[Boom-Boom-18]

Anyone staying up for this tonight / waking up?

[Lewis]

No, but if I wake up to Fury giving it the victory big'un. :drool:

[Lewis]

I watched a compilation of the other fella's best knock-outs the other day, and what the fuck is he about? He looks like a spaz half the time.

[SincereTheRebel]

Wilder by name, wild by nature.

[Alex]

This ring walk attire from Wilder is just bizarre.

[SincereTheRebel]

Fury is the best fighter in the world regardless of the decesion.

[John Arne]

What the hell. One judge gave it to Wilder by 4 rounds :D

Even the yank commentators had it to Fury by one.

[Alex]

Ridiculous decision.

[SincereTheRebel]

When Fury was lying on the ground not moving. The fight should have been called off. That was mental.

[Alex]

When Fury was lying on the ground not moving. The fight should have been called off. That was mental.

I've absolutely no idea how he got up from that.

[SincereTheRebel]

Lol at the UK judge. He had it a draw. I picked wilder but I thought fury did just enough to win. I didn't score it properly though and I haven't done the maths regarding the two knockdowns.

How fury got up from the second is mind-blowing. He was dead for 5 seconds and got up like Kane. Wouldnt surprise me if Fury failed drug tests after this. He was hyper as fuck.

[SincereTheRebel]

Wilder didn't sound gain for a rematch but if it happens, it needs to be in England now.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Tyson boxed a fantastic fight, it was a pleasure to watch and I am gutted he didn't get the win he deserved.

Fury vs Wilder at Wembley next year to piss off Hearn.

[Lewis]

Surely Wilder had to win that one, since Fury would still be a bit rusty and shabby, and can't have been in the best condition coming off all that weight loss.

[SincereTheRebel]

Surely Wilder had to win that one, since Fury would still be a bit rusty and shabby, and can't have been in the best condition coming off all that weight loss.

Fury is definitely better suited in a rematch. Wilder should be embarrassed.

[John]

The judge who gave the fight to Wilder gave him the first four rounds, which must mean he was watching a different fight, one which BT weren't showing the rest of us. There's an argument to be made for Wilder winning the fight, but I wouldn't have given him any of the first four rounds, and the only one he'd have a case for is the first.

[Disco]

I'm shocked that the match ended with the perfect set up for a lucrative re-match.

[Shindig]

I'd say the draw or even a Wilder win would've been the right decision. For all the good boxing Fury did, he wound up on the deck twice. Wilder would be rightfully pissed off if the decision went against him.

[five time]

For all the good boxing Fury did, he wound up on the deck twice.

If only that was how boxing worked. Did you score the fight?

[Shindig]

Are you saying knockdowns can't hold any sway?

[phonics]

I'm shocked that the match ended with the perfect set up for a lucrative re-match.

Quite, not sure why anyone bothers with it as a sporting thing.

Are you saying knockdowns can't hold any sway?

Of course they hold sway. But within the confines of the rules, and the scoring system isn't complicated. If you knock somebody down in a round, and they don't return the favour, then you will win that round 10-8. Which means, on a purely mathematic basis, it's simply not enough to knock somebody down in two out of twelves rounds and do very little else for the rest of the fight. You could make a case for him taking one, maybe two, rounds out of the remaining ten. Which still puts him down on the cards.

I've nothing at all against a fighter playing to his strenths and banking on the big right hand, or whatever. But if you want to play that game then you better make sure the other guy doesn't get back up.

Ive fixed it, remove judges. If you don't knock him out during it's a draw. Get rids of bent judges and we can also pretend that most of Mayweathers career doesn't count :drool:

[Baz]

Can anyone aim me towards a highlight video (sub-10mins) Of last nights fight?

[Boom-Boom-18]

Kell Brook has looked very average this evening.

[Shindig]

I was watching some 90s boxing last night and have now discovered Andrew Galota.

What a complete headcase. :D Also, that was such an awesome decade for just odd, interesting fighters. Tyson looked to dominate but was never the same after prison, titles were getting vacated and George Foreman's punches are still something to behold. They look clumsy and slow but there's so much behind them.

[SincereTheRebel]

That wasn't the first time he went on a low blow rampage. I think he did it on three separate occasions.

That low blow combo at the end :D You could basically see the guy's nuts swinging like a punching bag.

[Shindig]

He loved a headbutt too. I'd love to know what he had against Bowe, though.

[Lewis]

I remember seeing an Imgur (of all places) breakdown of this Vasyl Lomachenko ages ago and thinking he looked pretty swish. How is anyone meant to beat him?

[SincereTheRebel]

He isnt going to get beaten until he goes up further in weight. Mikey Garcia at 140 is probably his only test. The other champions at 147 will probably beat him based on size.

His movement is incredible. He plays with his opponents .

[John]

Everyone expected Canelo to duff Fielding up last night, but that was a humiliation. I reckon he'd have a hard time collecting his fee if he'd offered up that sort of performance having been brought in as a sparring partner during Canelo's camp for the GGG fight. As an actual opponent he just offered nothing. Fight was over as soon as the first body shot landed.

[SincereTheRebel]

It was pretty shocking to be honest. Those body shots looked and sounded brutal though. Canelo a little stocky cunt.

[John]

The shots Canelo landed would have damaged anyone at that weight, and probably two or three above, but Fielding is about half a foot taller than him and he didn't even seem to make any real effort to control the distance. From the first bell he was in Canelo's world, standing guard to guard when he had about four inches of reach on him. Pure lunacy against someone so good and with so much power.

[Lewis]

The knock-downs look like something from an olden days fixed fight. Bizarre.

[SincereTheRebel]

He looked happy to lose his title and cash in a nice cheque.

[Boom-Boom-18]

I am really hoping the Whyte - Chisora / Frampton vs Warrington fights tonight don't overlap. I have Whyte on TV and Frampton on my laptop, looking forward to both.

[Magic]

Can't believe I'm missing this ffs.

[Lewis]

I am amazed how they have been able to HYPE Whyte/Chisora up into something seemingly much bigger than two bums going at it over nothing.

[Kikó]

Two heavyweights slogging is a good watch.

[Magic]

I meant the Warro fight btw.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anyone have an acestream for the Warrington/Frampton.

I've got a banging web stream for Whyte/Chisora but shit for the other one.

[Disco]

They appear to be booing both fighters.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell, what a start.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Do you have a link for the Frampton one Mahow?

They're all a bit crap though tbh. I decided to just pay £20 for it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Frampton being wobbly and still deciding to just keep swinging :drool:

He's hoping to just hit Warrington with one clean.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Thanks, I bought the Sky Sports PPV and expected to find a BT stream. Should have done it the other way around.

[Baz]

Money money money money baaaaaags

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My stream is either lagging slightly or Chisora/Whyte looks like it's in slow motion compared to Frampton/Warrington.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Whyte vs Chisora is fantastic. Both fights are very good.

[Baz]

No way Chisora can keep this up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I want Chisora to get knocked out.

[John]

Warrington v Frampton is the best fight I've seen in a while. Frampton looked about ready to go over six or seven times then would just start swinging again and power through. Great stuff.

[Baz]

BOOM!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Chisora gone :drool:

Warrington/Frampton was brilliant too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jesus, that was brutal.

Chisora is fucked.

[Kikó]

Absolutely brutal from Whyte. Thought he looked good. Patient fight then took control and cleaned him.

[John]

Chisora might be dead.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Mike Tyson is currently on the Joe Rogan podcast. Should be well worth a listen.

[John]

Mike Tyson has never said a single word worth hearing. He was a great boxer, but the man is a complete whopper.

[Queenslander]

Joe Rogan is a mong.

[SincereTheRebel]

Pacman is is going to destroy broner tonight very badly.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Surprised to see ITV 4 are showing the live fight.

[John]

Jorge Linares getting pancaked in the first round by a nobody is a bit of a stunner. It was only about a year ago he was putting Lomachenko on his arse.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was hoping this would also be straight to the fight.

Bet365 has ring walk at 3 whilst Betfair has it at 4:30, ugh.

[John]

Donald Cerrone is fighting in a minute.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Good shout.

[SincereTheRebel]

It wasnt as bad as I though it would be put Broner lost cleary, he does not throw enough punches. Pac can still compete though, even at 40

[Pepe]

I thought Linares was going to be the next best thing when he was just starting. So talented. Unfortunately, he is extremely inconsistent.

[Disco]

Watching some of the De Gale/Eubank undercard and I could swear Mauro Ranallo is doing commentary.

[Kikó]

The Joyce fight was dreadful.

[Baz]

The Joyce fight was dreadful.

Bordering on Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000 levels, sheesh.

[Kikó]

DeGale was awful. Balance was all over the place. Eubank did well though, very mature.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Watching some of the De Gale/Eubank undercard and I could swear Mauro Ranallo is doing commentary.

More than likely is.

He still does quite a bit of boxing.
