shaaark 10,693 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, MickC said: I agree as earlier in there careers all three of them where a lot more active.Wilder had 9 fights in a year Fury had 8 fights in a year and Joshua had 7 fights in a year. Now there at the top level like I mentioned its 2 fights a year and all about there marketability and keeping ppv figures high and getting the most from sponsors, endorsements etc . Boxing is big business now so its easy to see why they do it but it is frustrating for fans . Thank you mick, that's the point I'm trying to make. NO-ONE needs 10-12 weeks to prepare for a fight. Of course I understand about the marketing etc for he fight etc etc, but what a load of bollox. They could, and should, be fighting at least 3-4 times a year. Fighting sometimes just once a year is, quite frankly, ridculous Edited June 1, 2019 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 759 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Out of his 105 amateur bouts Andy Ruiz won 100 of them Ruiz is a harder fight for Joshua than Miller wouldlve been i can see Ruiz looking good in the early going,stealing a few early rounds,then getting stopped in the 6-7th round Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiggy 3,209 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 So average 8 fights a year.. shock and horror only 6 to 7 weeks to prepare including recovery from previous fight. It's the promoters that are ducking and not the fighters. You could dig a dog after 3 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiggy 3,209 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Furey can fight every week because he doesn't get hit, Wilder needs Sunday's off for church and Josh needs 12 weeks for his steroid cycle 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) That Taylor result was a disgrace, Persoon was relentless. Taylor was walking in in straight lines taking shots and walking straight back out taking shots. For all Taylors skills Persoon out worked and out landed Taylor comfortably. A good fight but the wrong winner. Typical drivel from Sky pundits before the fight “Taylors a machine” blah blah. The reaction of both fighters at the end said a lot, Persoon knew she won that fight . Edited June 2, 2019 by MickC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, the other girl was awkward and Taylor couldn't handle it, I think she was well out of gas at the end as well... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taylor was lucky to not get stopped in that last round, felt sorry for Persoon. Like I say for all Taylors skill she was out worked and out landed by Persoon who just never let. Bad decision . Josh Kelly was lucky to get a draw tonight.He might look good against lesser fighters but tonight he looked poor which I knew he would once he stepped up.

ryaldinhio 4,491 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Terrible tonight. Flat footed and didn't respect the lad. Looked like AJ thought he could take a punch from him and turned out he couldn't. That's what get for looking past him to Wilder etc. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,205 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well that’ll be the cat amongst the pigeons Maybe Wilder and Fury will fancy it now, and so we’ll get to see these fights after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazjon5 803 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 wasn't expecting that, fair play to Ruiz, he took his chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Well Ive got to be first to say it “ First fight outside his own back yard” The big three is down to the big 2. Get in there, found out before he even got to fight Fury or Wilder I cant wait to see Hearns next clip on Youtube I always said hed get beat off Fury and Wilder but tbh I could’nt see Ruiz doing it. Well done, the first Mexican Heavyweight World Champion . Edited June 2, 2019 by MickC 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
