Anyone got a semi reliable stream?

[Toxteth O'Grady]

As for the Joshua fight, does anybody think it's actually meaningful or just an exercise in money making?

I have to say  I don;t like Joshua, for me his idea of his own self worth far exceeds his actual achievements, he wins..? Grand, beat Fury or Usyk then.

He loses, off you pop down the ladder and good riddance to nothing that will be missed.

It’s a dangerous fight and he’s silly for taking it. Wins and nobody gives a fuck, loses and he’s done.

Just got it on now. Fights on our school yard had more of an atmosphere.

Indeed it is. 

My instincts tell me it will be dancing at distance for a few rounds, as soon as Joshua gets hit he will hold and spoil and there will be fans feeling short changed after Joshua wins a points decision.

Yep. Joshua gets tagged and he loses 50% of his desire right away.

And people will pay, what is it? 50 quid? for the privilege of watching a poor mans Gary Mason take on a fella who's having his 2nd actual fight under Boxing rules.

I'd laugh my bollocks off if Joshua got knocked spark out.

[John102]

Its not quite lockdown footy, but its not far off, in terms of impacting my enjoyment of the fight.

£20 it is.

 

I reckon there’s a real chance Joshua gets chinned tonight.

[Elite]

The size difference here is ridiculous.

Thats what my missus said about me and her ex. Must have been a tall fella, the way she goes on.

£20 isn't actually too bad for that card of fights. 

Cheers.

And I'm hoping you're right, Id laugh until Xmas if Joshua got chinned.

No chance id be paying for it. Maybe for Ball actually but thankfully (hello officer) im a rebel 

 

Ball needs to change his tactics here 

[Bjornebye]

I only don’t want Joshua to lose because I’m still craving Fury v Joshua. Not necessarily for the fight itself but for the build up. 

[John102]

I dont get it with Ball. Fit and explosive but looks very limited every time i see him (Whilst also winning)

[Dr Nowt]

They should reroute some of the money they’re jizzing up the wall on fight purses to flying thousands of pissed-up boxing fans in from overseas.

 

Going to be a total waste of any decent fights they put on otherwise, the atmosphere isn’t some optional extra.

[Bjornebye]

Eddie Hearn is fucking ridiculous

Ditto. Game but lacks the finesse to be anything special.

[John102]

Eddie can say what he wants, ill never forget Joshua having a meltdown in the ring after Usyk beat him.

[Brownie]

I like Ball but he’s out of his depth here. Reminds me of scrappy doo.

It's still my fervent hope that Usyk unifies the titles and knocks that tinker Fury on his arse so at least this generation of Boxing fans has a Heavyweight champion that they can look up to and admire, the same as many generations before who saw Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Ali, Frazier etc.

You look at this crop of Fury, Wilder, Joshua and others (excluding Usyk who's a proper fighter) and you'd  ask which one of these wouldn't a peak Holyfield beat, never mind a peak Lewis.

He's far too small for this division. Like a snooker player playing with half a cue.
