Boxing!

[Pretty Boy]

Good 1st round. Fury had some success but I was impressed he didn't go diving in, stepped back and resisted being too aggressive.

Furys round.

[H18 SFR]

I'm back in business. Missed the first round.

2-0 Fury for me

This is going to be an epic. Wilder is throwing that wild right hand at every opportunity, Fury is walking forward and pressing him. Looked like he hurt Wilder at the end there as well.

[Just_Jimmy]

Fury is going to win this by KO.

4-0 Fury for me

[Pretty Boy]

Wilder is like a drunk trying to catch a balloon. He's staggering about all over the place. That right hand is still a worry though. It saved him v Fury before and Ortiz last time.

Fury just needs to calm down and get back to jabbing.

[lord bunberry]

The referee is being a bit fussy, I wish he’d just let them get on with it.

[matty_f]

Fury just needs to to watch that he doesn't get complacent but Wilder looks totally gone.

[matty_f]

That right hand from Fury is causing all sorts of bother.

[lord bunberry]

Fury is contracted to a rematch with Wilder.

[Pretty Boy]

The big question for any Fury opponent is how the hell do you prepare to fight him? In the 1st Wilder fight he ducked, slipped, weaved and countered of the back foot. Last night he used his big pawing jab to completely nulify a monster puncher and then was the aggressor throughout. He, to put it bluntly, absolutely battered Wilder.

I remember years ago watching Fury scrape a very dubious points decision against John McDermott and I thought he was just another hype job who would be found out. He totally changed things up for the rematch and scored a TKO win. He had ups and downs since then but he has grown as a fighter and is undoubtedly the best in the division right now. There are exciting fights to be made; Joshua, Usyk, Whyte, Hunter and a few others. If he stays healthy I wouldn't bet against him in any of those fights. He's phenomenally good.

[Benny Brazil]

Only Fury could get a sing a long going after smashing Wilder in a title fight and getting Bob Arum and Frank Warren to join in - never been his biggest fan and some of the things he has come out with in the past are dubious to say the least but you cannot question his Boxing skills - the best technical boxer in that division bar none - only thing left for him now is to unify the division and fight AJ

[cabbageandribs1875]

Wilder has 30 days to invoke a rematch


now that would be a silly idea

[blackpoolhibs]

Just watched it, managed to go to bed get up and not know the result.

WOW, Fury just continues to surprise me, what a fighter, in any style. :top marks

He would beat anyone now, he's the best out there.:top marks

[H18 SFR]

Reading there that the Saudis have already contacted Fury to fight there next.

[cameronw-hfc]

Great fight. If anyone struggled for a stream and wants one for future reference I've got one I watch most ufc and boxing events on each time so happy to PM.

[Barman Stanton]

Fury is absolutely devastating at that weight and fight style. The only problem for Fury now is motivating himself and keeping the dark clouds away. Im not convinced he is all that excited about an AJ fight. I think he knows he beats him easy.

Financially it wouldn't. Boxing wise probably not either as he may have a wait to have a title fight again. He is a puncher - and may get lucky...

All that said, I think you mean he'd get bashed up again - and if so I agree 100%. Fury is clearly a vastly superior boxer than Wilder.

Interestingly, just ahead of the bell the Bookies had Wilder fave - 10/11 vs. evens for Fury. Today a re-match would be Fury 1/4 and Wilder 3/1.

[Captain Trips]

I'm 45 and I loved boxing in the 80s into 90s I grew up watching Mike Tyson, Tucker, Holy field, Spinks etc.

I will ask the folk here your opinion on the best boxers of last few years as the Fury fight is the only one I have watched in years. I kind of think the guys who I watched would destroy most of the ones about just now. Thoughts?

In my day of watching it the fight that had me excited was Spinks v Tyson this had the making of Tyson being in trouble. Tyson destroyed Spinks I never noticed watching live but looking at it years later the fear in Spinks was in his face and eyes.

looks like the trilogy is on, both wilder and fury happy for it to take place in the new LA raiders 70k stadium,june or july, although i think it's quite laughable wilder blaming the weight of his 'costume' for weakening his legs,it probably didn't help with fury deliberately trying to crush him to death, obviously the ear injury would have a huge affect on his balance as well, i'm sure fury knew what he was doing with the punches to the back of wilders head, wilder claims the referee warned him(wilder) pre-fight that he would disqualify him if he was punching the back of fury's bonce, true or not,dunno, but i'l want the same guy to win the 3rd fight that i wanted to win on sunday =Wilder, but i'm quite sure fury will win that one as well.

P.S. as for borh 'costumes' utter super cringeness,but i wouldn't tell either to their faces 😁

Time to get back into it mate. A Hibs fan is currently PFP a top 10 in the world. I also loved that era but there is some fantastic boxers around at the moment. And in Tyson Fury I believe that we have a heavyweight that would beat most of the 80s ones including Mike Tyson (though I expect many would disagree).

[DetroitHibs]

Fury could easily walk away from the sport undefeated and with all the gold. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Some pals were in Vegas for the Fury fight last week. They picked up tickets for $500 (face value), very good seats but not floor seats. Big fights tend not to sell out there, unlike over here but they’re no cheap. Bars in the strip were charging $100 to get in to watch the fight on TV.

He was a washed up has-been when loosing to Lewis in 2002. Even more so when embarrassed by Williams & McBride a couple of years later. He’s now also a self confessed complete stoner. He should stick to making a fool of himself in films and leave the sweet science to the young ones.

I don't think Tyson has any ambitions to actually fight again as such. That would be madness. The training videos look slick but that characterised his last few fights, he could give you 3 rounds but if his opponent wasn't out of there at that point then Tyson had nothing left. An exhibition or 2 probably appeals to him and his fanbase.

I find Tyson and his redemption somewhat troubling. At his best there is no doubt he was a phenomenal talent, he was ferocious but skilful. However whilst everyone deserves a second chance and the right to rehabilitation I find his new image as a lovable rogue a bit unsettling. People should remember what he is and the impact his actions had on another person.

Agreed. The current Tyson love-in is doing my head in. In his prime he was phenomenal. Unfortunately his prime was too short lived for him to be anywhere near top 5 heavyweights. His behaviour inside and outside the ring was despicable at times. I’ve no idea how the likes of Hollyfield & Lewis can be doing with him.

Anyone watching tonight?
Babic made easy work on Shawndell Williams. He looked ok but is light for a heavyweight these days.

Kongo vs Clay in the 5th round at the minute. Kongo nicking then rounds but has been good so far.

Fancy Katie taylor to improve from her last fight against Persoon but it will be an interesting one.

Whyte should deal with Povetkin. And I’m keen to see how Whyte looks with the big weight loss. Think he needed it tho as always gassed in last few fights.

While typing this, Clay has had to really hang on in the 5th. Looked like the fight was over 30 seconds ago.

I've been watching the boxing the last few weeks and there have been some pretty decent fights

I don't think Babic is that great but you better believe I will tune in to watch him anytime he's on as he just goes for it and will either spark someone or be knocked out himself early doors

Kongo V Clay was a decent fight

If Taylor just sticks to boxing then I have a feeling she could box Persoons head off all day but think she may get dragged into another war

Whyte is getting Povetkin at the right time, thought he was lucky to get a draw against Hunter but for the first few rounds I think he will still be pretty dangerous and isn't to be overlooked

I take my hat off to Whyte for taking the fight but he's off his heid for doing it

He needs to be much more savvy in the ring.

The irony was that pre-fight he was talking about the need to not make silly mistakes because at that level you get punished.

Not sure if it was complacency from being in complete control up until that punch, or if he just made a mistake, but he proved his point.

I can't imagine the fights important enough for that tbh. But ringwalks at 9 mean the fight should finish 10ish anyway no?

[CallumLaidlaw]

JT’s fight is down on SkyBet for a 10.30 start. That kinda matches last weeks BT fight card.

Body shot

He's lethal with his body shots.

One more fight to unify then up to welter?

[Scouse Hibee]

Have seen plenty of fighters stopped with body shots but have never in all my years of watching boxing seen a fighter in so much discomfort for such a long period after the punch.

Frampton and Haye think the boy was milking it to the max. If that bad it had to be an Appendix or maybe he just didn't fancy it

[Pretty Boy]

One of the things about body shots is that if they land in such a way that they impact on the aorta they can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. It's more common in shots that hit around the liver but it can happen across the torso.
I remember a few years back when Jose Luis Castillo lost to Ricky Hatton due to a body punch he said post fight that very suddenly he felt light headed and dizzy. The body punch also broke his ribs but he said he could have battled through the pain of that, it was the feeling faint and struggling to stand up that finished him. Of course Castillo was well shot by that point and maybe just wanted a way out to pick up his pay packet.

Maybe the guy did take a dive or milk it but I think that's doing both JT and his opponent a disservice. It was a solid body shot and there are a number of reasons why it could have caused so much distress.

Willy Hutchison first round stoppage, looks good this kid. Good combinations decent hand speed. Impressed thats 13-0 now.

Massive fight this weekend for the all the Lightweight marbles.

Lomachenko v Lopez. No UK provider has picked it up, so it’s £9.99 on FiteTV.

Can’t wait.

Yeah. Interesting too see if Lopez has enough to back up all the BS. I’ve never seen Loma this pissed, though he does still look totally in control.

I’m backing Loma by wide decision after a sustained beat down.

Ritson's corner was odd. The words suggested they were confident but the tone didn't. Definitely something up.

I thought Usyk won that fairly comfortably to be honest

[cabbageandribs1875]

that's at least three from the studio/pundits agreeing with me :) and i also don't think Usyk should fight joshua...no way, bellow made a fair comment re a judge that made it 118-110, called it ridiculous and he's right.

The fact you’ve cited Bellew does not help your case. A grade A fud who is a very poor pundit.

[Pretty Boy]

I fell asleep during the Chisora fight but I caught the 1st couple of rounds and thought he started well. Usyk didn't look happy at all in there.

I'll watch it later but I assume it was just his usual slow start and he took control as the fight wore on?

It was, chisora punched himself out in my opinion, never really caught him badly enough early doors, and in the end Usyk strolled to a victory by at least 4/5 rounds.

Crawford v Brook this weekend.

If the Kell Brook who beat Shawn Porter shows up this could be a fight of the year contender IMO.

Love watching Crawford, just voted p4p#1 by ESPN. Highly Skilled, switch hitter with a real nasty streak. Kell will need to be at his “Special” best to not get an absolute pasting

Hard to believe but the Porter fight was 6 years ago now, he looks in fantastic shape but I can't really see anything other than a Bud victory, he will do his usual and take a round or two to suss Brook out but once he does then the spiteful shots will start

Didn't realise he was fighting tonight. Deserved the win againgst McGregor imo so good to see him getting straight back on track

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Crawford, a predictable slow start. Switches southpaw, nullifies Brookms jab, goes up a gear and gets Brook out there with relative ease.

Pac-Man next up for him it seems. Can’t see anything other than a Crawford win there.

Glad Joyce won, I don't mind DDD he seems a nice guy but BT's build up wound me up so wanted him to win

[H18 SFR]

Talk about sticking to and executing a game plan.

[Tobias Funke]

Joyce looked like the technically better boxer and deserved it. Dubois is overrated.

I don’t think any of the elite heavyweights would have trouble against these two, even Usyk would beat these guys and he’s a blown up Cruiserweight.

Dubois was just outclassed, Frampton suggesting that Dubois lacked heart seemed too harsh though given the state of his eye

That interview afterwards was shocking, all about Dubois when Joyce is stood there and Warren trying to score a rematch already, let the guy enjoy his moment

BJ Saunders looked decent last night. I was quite surprised to hear him slaughter his own performance.

[Mon Dieu4]

Bad week for Warren with his golden boys losing in the space of a week, BTs treatment of the victors in both fights leaves a lot to be desired, Yarde has potential but really needs a change in trainer and someone who doesn't just tell him what he wants to hear all the time, pretty delusional camp

I agree, guy was out on his feet, I don't mind a bit hype but sky were going a tad ott after it, he just knocked out a guy who is probably domestic level at best and now he's going to knock out the best fighter in the division

[lord bunberry]

The problem I have with him is he’s a cruiser weight that wants to be a heavyweight. And that doesn’t always work, he could easily dominate at cruiserweight , but there’s not much money in that. He’s not going to cut it as a heavyweight.

[cabbageandribs1875]

should have stopped that in the first round, i've maybe missed many many years of watching boxing but i've never saw a boxers legs wobble all over the place like that,i was worried for the dude watching it

An easy night's work for Canelo but it was set up to be.

Smith took the fight at short notice and took the payday. He's 31 so he'll get another shot at a world title.
