    That was outstanding from both fighters, a really good fight and plenty mutual respect.

    Yes it was. I can see Usyk becoming an adopted home favourite.

    United we stand here....

    Well we didn’t learn anything there. He’s very similar to Josh Taylor in that he’s more than ready for a step up in class quicker than would be normal for a fighter with his experience.
    The problem Kelly has is that he’s fighting in arguably the most talent loaded division. Can’t see him making a dent at world level unfortunately

    Well I spent an hour or so avoiding the fight as I was on my way home from the proclaimers. Bellew got his tactics bang on to start with, as I expected, but he tired and Usyks class showed. We was certainly
    Given problems by Bellew tho.

    I have to say tho, Usyks post match interview didn’t translate well. He came across as very arrogant. Although Bomber has a lot of respect for him so that’ll do for me

    Usyks could step up to heavyweight I reckon. If he does I can see him giving Joshua problems.

    Kicking off at the Wilder Fury presser. Looks legit this time.

    I’ve said the same about all the previous ‘bad blood’ but that was a proper rammy.

    Fury is under Wilders skin. He lost the plot there and you could see him getting more irate as the questions wore on; I think he realised there was truth in a lot of what Fury said.

    I daresay they will do the respectful handshake and bumming each other up post fight but there's a bit edge there. I'm still saying Fury by a decent points margin.

    If you listen to the 5 Live boxing podcast, Steve Bunce, who was a few feet away, agrees.

    I see Fury getting knocked out . He's making out like he's impossible to hit , he's deluding himself . Wilder is fast , powerful and has long arms , poor technique or not he's going to catch fury with that sledgehammer right hand at some point

    Joshua v Wilder is the fight everybody wants to see so lets hope he does win .

    I think Joshua v Fury is a far more intriguing contest. Less exciting and explosive maybe but if I had to choose I'd pick that over Joshua v Wilder.

    I agree Wilder will probably find the target at some point. The couple of times Fury has been in trouble it's been with an overhand right which is Wilders big weapon. Equally though Fury is evasive, he's very nimble for a huge guy, he's fast and he's so unorthodox he's hard to read, Wilder might only get 1 or 2 chances and if Fury deals with that I think he'll win. It's worth remembering Fury was so adept at negating Klitshckos jab and thus his follow up right hand that many people questioned whether he was carrying an injury; Klitshcko himself said that wasn't the case and that Fury just never allowed him to set anything up.

    Fury isn't particularly exciting to watch but he's been massively underrated for years now, including by me. His boxing skills are superior and that will play a huge part in the outcome of this fight.

    Fury's comeback has been far from exciting, in fact i'd say he's been pretty poor against quite awful opponents.

    I have watched both fights, and he looked poor and unfit, which was hardly surprising given his time out and the weight loss.

    I see a Wilder win , maybe a knock out after 8 rounds but definitely by points at least. In my opinion the rustiness and quick weight loss will take its toll, and he will tire quickly.

    I would like Fury to win, he's certainly a character and can sell a fight.

    Fury’s comeback fights have shown him to be slow with poor timing. Has he regained that timing now, I’m not so sure.

    If Fury is in the sort of shape he was in when he fought klitschko then Wilder won’t get near him. It’s a big if though.

    United we stand here....

    Honestly think Wilder sparks him in the first few rounds

    I agree,but if he has got back to his best he wins by a wide points decision for me.Id go as far to say if Fury is back to his best I'd only give Wilder a puncher's chance. Should be an intriguing fight anyway.

    Fury looks lean and ready to go. My money is going on Fury on points.

    Do you think so? I thought he looked in great shape. He was a bit heavier than he’s been in the past, but I think it’s significant that wilder weighed in so light. He claimed he was ill the last time, but he can’t make that claim this time. Wilder for me is a talking horse, that will be found out against proper world class boxing.
