  1. Zhang vs Parker still looks like the best fight of the night
  2. 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.
  3. £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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I watched the Matt Macklin interview on Sky earlier and he was making out that Ball beating Vargas would be an 'upset'. Yet Ball is 8/15 fav. I don't know whether that's daft mug money or not. I like Macklin, decent fighter and a ood pundit. So Vargas at 13/8 it is.
  8. I'm not arguing with you Comrade, I'm agreeing, it was always the way and always will be. That's the point I was making, Boxing is now more shit than ever it was, it used to be the occasional stroking of Despotic balls, now it's the norm. But most of the reason for that is because 'fans' have been either conned or convinced that two undefeated no marks facing off is now and should be considered a PPV event. It's now the norm.
  9. Yeah, I get that, it's not a once in a generation thing, or a 'fight of the century' thing, but it's where the money is and bowing and scraping for your wages is part of the process. I'm not saying it's right, or palatable or that a stand should be made for or against it, just saying that in boxing history, no matter how frequently, the balls of despots have been stroked for a nation enhancing bonanza. It's fucking dreadful on every intellectual and logical and moral level, but its money. Plus it's not like Boxing hasn't gone down the 'Two flies crawling up a wall with unbeaten records' hasn't milked the PPV 'super fight' shit in every other country either. Back in the day, it was the despots who were the only fuckers who could afford to put it on. These days,Boxing fans are being conned week by week.
  10. That United are only 17/20 to beat Everton at home tomorrow shows you what a grand job he's doing.
  11. Same as the rumble and the thriller comrade. Ali, Foreman and Frazier did the same. Maybe not as overtly, but as a boxer, you are but a player and you stroke the balls of the despot who puts the money up.
  12. Zhang 4/9 to beat Parker. I think that's a bit short. I know I'll look a cunt after but I fancy Parker on points here.

  14. The dirtiest bastard in the whole of the troubles. Rumours and stories circulating about 'Stakeknife' for 30 years about the nastiest fucking tout who got himself the prime job in the RA nutting squad and gave up innocent and vulnerable lads to save his own fucking hide. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-68510390
