The Boxing thread

What a great fight. Don’t really get the hate for Taylor, always seems to be in great fights & certainly doesn’t seem to duck anyone. I’m not arsed about how boxers act out of the ring, it’s all about how they perform in the ring & Taylor is entertaining

Maybe but then again usyk boxes his head off and the big pedestrian robot gets beat . As for fury well that’s another story but usyk is brilliant . See pac man is fighting Spence jnr who do you think and also I think wilder will be very dangerous against fury .

Considering he didn’t look great against Chisora, who’s well past his best, I really don’t see Usyk as being a threat mate. Fantastic boxer & skillset, but I don’t think he’s big enough or hits hard enough to cause problems for AJ.
I’d rather see Crawford vs Spence as these are the top 2 in the division for me. Love watching Crawford

Usyk clearly is below the top level at heavyweight, he is Parker level at best and probably below Whyte. I agree he will always struggle to knock out good fighters 25lbs heavier than him, and at best it will be a comfortable points loss to Joshua.

He would have a decent chance 40 years ago, but doesn't have the frame to compete aw HW these days, he isn't even Bridgerweight, which was daft having it at 224 maybe 210/214 would have been a good interim if they are reducing cruiser back to 190 as the WBC planned. That is why BW will never take off.

Would like caterall to win but Taylor is on another level atm and I don’t want this fight at present . Taylor has now earned the big fights and that is what he will do. Is caterall a mandatory?

He was for the WBO Belt but It’s anyone’s guess which direction Taylor will go now.
Taylor V Crawford could be huge but I’m not sure of the politics involved .
I think Caterall deserves his chance though and I’d be delighted for Jamie Moore also if Jack could become a World Champ.

AJ isn't the big stiff dosser of a few years ago, he's definitely been doing a lot of agility work and isn't as muscular as he was. He's showed in his last two fights that he can move and box as well.

I think Spence is the best of the lot at welter and the fight is a few years too late for Pac. Great fight though, we've got a lot of big bouts coming up.

Agreed, I wasn't going to get into it but if you ask me even before that, he wasn't a hype job, people just resented the backing he had so early and took an instant dislike to him. It didn't matter what he did in the ring, they'd just spin the narrative to what ever fits their mindset. He's always been athletic, never been slow(hands or feet), never avoided risks, never stopped improving. Oh and he's made the effort to try and be a good role model which is rare in boxing these days and he even gets stick for trying. He doesn't necessarily have to be anyone's favourite boxer but as a boxing fan, all I'm left asking is, what's not to like? He was carrying a little bit too much muscle but he's always going to be muscular, it's in his genes and big muscles and knockouts sell at the end of the day(even hardcore boxing fans like a good KO artist). I think even he'll admit though, that shedding some muscle off and deciding to bring more footwork into his game, has brought some of the biggest improvements to his boxing in years. He'll probably admit he should have done it sooner if anything. He's adding upper-body and head-movement too and the fact that some aren't noticing it, all goes to show it doesn't look out of place(his footwork looks especially polished). It actually suits him and I hope he keeps honing that side of his craft.

If anything, those AJ obsessed haters, who were raving about Dubois(it was so obvious why they got behind him) got exposed for not being the experts they claimed to be. Like for like, at the same stage of their career Dubois was never more mobile than AJ and AJ had better fundamentals and a higher ring IQ to my mind. If Joyce dismantled Dubois with his jab as he did in his 16th professional fight, what would Wlad have done to him? AJ faced Wlad in his 19th fight lets remember. Yet these experts were certain Dubois was "on another level", he was on another level alright, just in the opposite direction. I've nothing against Dubois but by their own logic, that's who was really overprotected and overhyped.

Interesting times for Sky, I think Warren has thrown his lot in with BT as well?

Yeah Warren has his lads with BT Sport.
Hearn and Adam Smith supposedly had a massive bust up not sure if it's the whole reason for Eddie to go with DAZN.
At least Dazn are seriously good prices for boxing fans instead of being fucked by Sky charging £20 to watch crap for one night.

No pay per view for a while apparently, all Matchroom shows will be part of the DAZN subscription
 
SKY are really desperate to sell the Mayweather Logan fight. I mean who in their right mind would waste their hard earned money on that shit. Its a joke of a contest!

Both Mayweather Logan r duping a lot of people on this. For them its all about their pockets and filling it with this dire contest. I mean really, there are some dumb ass fools out there who will still watch and buy this fight.

Just take a look at the sky sports.com home page, and see how many tiles are there about this fight.

Mayweather probably blew a couple of mill on a few watches that’s why he’s fighting
 
I absolutely hate streaming, I don't know why they think consumers want this, the only reason people started streaming was so they could watch 3pm kick offs not because they wanted to watch a buffering 40 second delay feed on an ipad.

It's a disgrace and people really shouldn't pay this.

It's not even sport.

If it's competitive for longer than a second, it's a fix.............

It's going to points, I guarantee it

The only betting market I can find for it though is for either of them to win by ko or tko
