That’s more like it!

“Get past this and then onto the big fights”. Seems to be a theme.

Absolute waste of everyone’s time. What’s he fighting the 9th ranked German for?

‘Kinell I thought I liked coffee and then I read the last few pages. Coffee wankers (I want ALL OF THE KIT).

I don’t think that argument holds any weight at all (no pun intended). It’s universally accepted that he is a brilliant boxer in terms of how he creates angles, the way he delivers his jab etc. He does things that you normally see from lighter fighters. That’s actually unique. The last two fights with Wilder were scrappy in the sense that he completely altered his game plan to just turn the bouts into a war rather than a boxing match. He boxed his head off in the first but got tagged so he realised there’s no point in just boxing his head off you may as well just try to take his head off. He can do everything. He absolutely destroyed Wilder across the three fights. The only thing that allowed Wilder to be in the fights was his freakish power. Aside from that, the trilogy was so one sided.

I think it will be an attractive enough option for a lot of "normal" sky customers. For those who are all over the latest tech with TV's, it won't be suitable as it will be a mid range TV (none of the gaming features for instance).

No but with the new TV they will let you “record” the match as normal but you won’t be recording it because there’s no drive to record to. You’ll just be putting something in the UI which allows you to access their recording of it.

You don’t need to record because it’s a streaming service. I’d imagine you’ll be able to make it look like you’ve recorded something in the UI but essentially it’ll just like setting a flag to access one of their streams.

Watching it back, Sugar Hill is fucking boss isn’t he?!

That’s not how the count works though. Someone at ringside does the count and the ref picks up from them, so if he has to sort out the opponent he’ll pick the count up from whatever point it’s at. It was the same for Wilders knockdowns though so he was consistent. And you could argue that Fury may have gotten up quicker if the count was quicker. At the the end of the day the superior boxer won, it’s just an interesting note and shows the fine lines at that level.

Tell you what, watching it back. The second Fury knockdown, looked like it was >10 seconds before he got up. The counts were so slow from the ref on all the knockdowns.

Fury was gone in the 4th as well. 10 more seconds and he’s knocked out himself.

Just me or is that one of the all time great fights?

The fuck is Wilder up to here, the fucking dickhead?

I’m going to bed now, setting alarm for 4.
