Boxing At The Weekend...


Recommended Posts

Close competitive fight, the right man got the nod though 

But those scorecards didn't reflect the fight, Catterall had the cleaner work, but edged a lot of those rounds rather than dominated 

Silly scores

Did fury f**k up your tarmac drive or something shark lol your taking this bad lol hes hardly a fraud cause he got beat by usyk like lol

Fury an usyk are heading to each others houses,did you not see them chatting,calling each other Christian brothers,its only entertainment shark lol

Just been reading through some of the comments about this fight,why do you keep on saying " its only entertainment " Francie ?.......world championship boxing is high level competition,the entertainment stops when the fighters step through the ropes.

I thought it was a decent fight,personally i had a clearer cleaner win than the judges had it Usyk obviously spent the first half of the fight " downloading data " as they call it nowadays,and just took complete control in the second half....the clever thing Usyk does is he doesnt lose too many rounds during the downloading process i only had Fury winning rounds 4,5,6 and possibly the 12th.....for me the referee should have stopped the fight in the 9th Fury got hit with a good 15 - 20 unanswered punches only to get rewarded with a standing count that kept him in the fight !

People ask " why did Fury choose to box on the back foot "....he didnt choose to box on the back foot at all thats how good Usyks front foot pressure is he totally exhausts opponents minds by making them concentrate so hard the only relief they get is to back away.... he really is a clever fighter i actually thought the second half of the fight was fairly one sided,to me both Joshua and Fury could fight Usyk 10 times and never beat him the mans a class act and great for the sport.

It is high level gnashing,tho at the end of the day its entertainment for us to watch,like the gladiators of old,what I mean is some armchair boxers who areng involved in boxing are losing sleep over it lol no need for it,I'd see it different if people were involved in it,but most arent

Nobody wants to watch sport done badly or without effort,nobody wants to watch Usain Bolt just jog down a track or Ronnie o Sullivan just knocking balls around its the sheer intensity of high level competitiveness that makes it entertaining.......a person doesnt have to be involved to appreciate that.

Not long then lol ffs usyk will want a fight before then surely

I dunno,  I think it probably suits them both if usyk can manage to hold the belts without being stripped.

5v5 what we saying ?

 

zhang to ko deontay ?

Dubois to finish hergavich

Depends if wilder bothers showing up, I got big bang as favourite but I also wouldn't be surprised if wilder stretches zhang.

I think I'm leaning towards Hergavich.

usyk did excellent and the pressure with the broken nose slowed fury down but large parts fury was playing with him usyk is beatable buy fury and joshua id say 

i think fury needs to put some meat in his jab and right hand not tip tap that his walking threw 

i think joshua should bite down and just go at him from the off 

he’s scraped wins against both and looked lost for pets of the fight
