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.Quote:

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 unfortunatelyQuote:

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 [emoji106]

Usyks could step up to heavyweight I reckon. If he does I can see him giving Joshua problems.
Bellows wife ain't a nice woman.
Kicking off at the Wilder Fury presser. Looks legit this time.
Pure pantomimeQuote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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. :greengrin
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.
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.Quote:

Fury looks lean and ready to go. My money is going on Fury on points.
:hmmm: He has love handles and bingo wingsQuote:

Fury not been tested to this level in a long time.
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.Quote:
