Great fight.

Feel it was closer than Ball's last fight so just glad he got the nod this time.

I had it 7-5 Ball. Ford was hitting the gloves mostly, the commentary was heavily matchroom biased.

[sir roger]

These lads look like they are in different weight categories.

I hate this referee. Always wanting to be the centre of attention. Boxing's camp answer to Jordan Pickford.

[Remmie]

Absolutely hating this promoter angle, a pair of slimier, snake oil selling bastards you couldn't find. 'His excellency' licky little arse licking ego fuckstains.

 

Decent card as it is.

Im the same, people like Howard Foster get a lot of shit, but Mark Lyson is up there with the worst. He has had some shocking moments, with Hyland Jr and Charlie Edwards both standouts.

He's basically Lilly Savage with an interest in fight sports.

Yes.

 

Incredibly, in the WBSS he fought Manny Rodriguez on the undercard of Josh Taylor’s world title fight in Glasgow.

 

He eviscerated him in two rounds.
 

Nonito Donaire was there that night, too, and my mate got photos with him, while I was getting us drinks.

 

Livid is not the word.

The WBSS was the best thing in boxing of recent times. Quality tournaments with some absolutely cracking fights

Glad the judges saw it the same way as me.

The judges scored it 2-1?

Bivol is boss

Zinad was game tbf but the way he went through the gears was impressive.

 

Beterbiev will chin him though.

[John102]

Thought Dubois's arl fella was gonna get in the ring at one point there.

I think it will be a very good fight and difficult to call.

 

I'd back Bivol to just do enough in a tight decision.

[sir roger]

Took some big shots there, Dubois, but did well against a decent operator.

[an tha]

Fair do's to Dubois

[Brownie]

Hrgovic was miles better there but gassed. You can’t afford to do that at heavyweight because you’ll just get caught too much.

 

Joshua will destroy Dubois.

Respectfully disagree, think Dubois gets past Joshua easily enough. He's raw but young still for a heavyweight - think he has a good future. Nice to have a British heavyweight you can root for.

Wilder looks like he is done to me.

 

Seems to be disinterested in fighting.

[Baltar]

Wilder is finished. Garbage boxer, always has been. Just had freakish power but as a boxer, totally useless.

[sir roger]

Was that the guy from the Hangover in the ring with Zhang.

[Brownie]

State of Wilder. Got buzzed and turned away with his hands down.

 

He’s always been a fraud of a boxer with a huge punch. The end of his career makes Fury look worse.

[Byrnie]

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury took something from one another. Wilder going to Costa Rica for ayahuasca hasn't helped him either. He's a different man.

 

Shit fight.

I think it would be competitive. Hopefully it happens.

[Red74]

Remember people saying wilder was the hardest hitting heavyweight in history. He was always a fucking bum. There was a reason him

and fury went out of their way to fight each other. They both knew they’d get destroyed against a live fighter.

Joshua would murder Dubois.

I agree.
