Wilder is obviously no boxing technician, but he possessed a devastating punch.Quote:

watched the Jake Paul v Mike Parry fight Sun morning, Paul had him down in the 1st and the 2nd before finally TKO win in the 6th, looked quite competent but i'm still convinced a 58 year old Mike Tyson will knock him out in November.
Is Jake Paul not juiced out his nut? Chat is that's the reason he's never fought anywhere with stringent testing. Could well be bollocks mind you.Quote:

he did look happy, i just put it down to the exuberance of winning, i didn't know who he was talking about afterwards as the only mma dude i know of is Conor McGregor :greengrin i'm not on instagram but i saw a link to him talking about Conor McGregor https://www.instagram.com/p/C9sj1JayhkC/Quote:

Chisora by unanimous decision
Scoring was poor in my opinion too wide but knock down was important. Hugging Farage at the end was brutal
Chisora looks and sounds terrible. Hope he is ok.
That was bizarre with farage eh!?Quote:

Joyce is far too upbeat considering this could be his career over
Paid to lose here? Strange excitement towards Chisora
Just read Chisora went to America with Farage to support Trump and campaigned for Farage in Clacton. After reading that Joyce was robbed I tell youQuote:

I watched the Pacquiao fight earlier today. That was painful. He should stay well retired.
How bizarreQuote:

Cracking card tonight. Watching napoli just now but will put on Cacace Warrington. Batsui Hutchinson should be good and looking forward to seeing Sheeraz
96,000 at Wembley, biggest sporting event in Wembley history they are saying.
Liam Gallagher singing as well!
Stadium empty for Cacace Warrington what you would think would sell out an arena
it's good Dubois has got a big pay day but Joshua will knock him out tonight
I like Buatsi but Steve Gray said at the start of this fight that he's counting the belt line as low, then proceeds to ignore Buatsi hitting there 87 times
It will either be by KO or TKOQuote:

What time does the fight start?
9:45 i believeQuote:

FFS glad i came to my senses and never bothered with oasis tickets. :rolleyes:
Noel might sing some songs 😂Quote:

Never really understood what all the hype over Oasis was. As a 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music ‘afficionado’, I found them so ordinary. :tin hat::tin hat:. Liam Gallagher’s contribution tonight was highly unforgettable but I don’t want my musical preferences to put a blight on the nostalgic expectations of the masses who are paying millions for the privilege of seeing their reincarnation next year. :greengrinQuote:

Love that Rocky 4 theme song, it's the Drago training sequence I think.
Lol, the Saudi Arabian national anthem. How much money do these guys have.
Yeah, what's that all about 🤔Quote:

ah there it is, 24 times now
Imagine getting a ticket then realising your view is blocked by some daft pillar. Must be like watching Hibs at celtic.
Oh ya. What a round from Dubois
lol good one Daniel Dubois
Joshua 🤣🤣 man cannot take a hit
That knockdown was massive though
Dunno what's up up with the ref

This is a battering
Embarrassing now
wow AJ's legs buckled there
It’s not even solid hits and he’s all over the place
and again
and again
well this is shutting up 94,500
Getting his ass kicked.
Jesus
AJ was about quarter of an inch away from his head getting taken off
woop woop :thumbsup:
AJ was so poor
Wow, game over.
Jesus
, some finish

Dubois took some bombs like they were nothing in that finish
A couple of huge hits from AJ. he's smiling thinking "I've got this" then put to sleep a second later
Dubois destroyed AJ
-81,000
Wow what a finish. Sensational
Got that the wrong way round 😁Quote:

Unreal by ddd.
No I wasn't.
Impressive from Dubois I didn’t think there was enough difference from the big fella AJ fought previously expected him to run over the top of him, far from it Dubois absolutely bossed him can’t see AJ coming back from that proper shown up

jeez i'd forgot all about joseph parker :hmmm: i think fury will beat usyk in Dec, wonder if there's a contract for a 3rd instalment between themQuote:

You've made your money man. Please, stop.
Yeah I think your right. I think with these Saudi fights they basically say who they want and pay an obscene amount. I'm sure that Turki Alalshikh said he would either make Fury Usyk part 3 if fury wins and Joshua loses or a unification if Fury and Joshua wonQuote:

Said it would be closer than people are saying but didn't expect that. The first round hit was the winner, Joshua was on the ropes literally after it. Some bravery from him and all the fighters that step in the ring. Can't see Joshua being at the top again after that destroying, but he had a very good career and raised the profile of boxing in the UK.
Queensberry promoter Frank Warren said to DAZN: "It was a phenomenal fight and I always felt it would be a Hagler-Hearns situation. AJ showed his heart right until the end. It was a brilliant fight.
"I always felt Dubois would do it and he has. It's not a turnaround, it was there. He was a young man and had double fractures in his eyes, he couldn't fight. He hurt him [Usyk], I'd like to see him fight him now but he has to fight Tyson now.
He also said Dubois would want to be active and wouldn’t want to sit waitingQuote:

Think aj will take the rematch, he went in underestimating Dubois. Didn’t have his hands up and I think he thought he would show up and win. Time will tell if he will come back but the fight shouldn’t have went on past round 3
I don't think he did. He just got beat off a better boxer.Quote:

I worry for him if he continues.
Watched it, I’m glad I didn’t pay for it either 😉Quote:

The way he was talking you’d think he’d lost on a dodgy judges decision, not well beaten.
Hagler-Hearns situation :faf:Quote:

His punch resistance just seems totally shot and he was never blessed with an iron chin to start with. I've given him plenty credit after his last few fights and he's had a brilliant amateur and probably career but for his own sake it's time to call it a day.
It wouldn't shock me to see him v Wilder now though. There isn't much else for either of them and it would still do decent money for a final pay day.
He will do the Dubois rematch by invoking his rematch clause as is his mindset.
i just mentioned to the gas engineer earlier that i try to make sure i don't see the "walk-in" before the fight starts, it's pathetic and i never ever watch the weigh-in's + the mostly made-up pushing and shoving and usually both telling each other what they're going to do to them, all pantomimeQuote:

after a quick google i see a Journalist was banned from entering wembley after criticising the Saudi sportswashing, unfortunately the only articles i could find online was the Daily Mail & the Express Saudi crackdown on British Press freedom: Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois organisers BAN journalist from Wembley for calling fight 'unashamed sportswashing exercise transforming London into Saudi Disneyland' | Daily Mail Online
Often one fighter will a rematch and not the other, Often the champ which was dubois won't have one but the challenger will. Herne has went back and said Joshua has one fight left with the Saudis. I think the Saudis are chucking so much at it that they decide what we want. The journalist is quite right though it is definitely sports washingQuote:

Nah the champ can't have in his contract what someone else does its a personal contract, although im sure both agree what each other will have. The champ doesn't have it in his contract that he needs to rematch if he wins he moves on, the challenger has it stipulated that even if he wins he could be made to fight again. Sometimes they both have it sometimes neither. Looks like neither has the clause thoughQuote:
