The Boxing thread

Will tell us a lot about AJ this.

How good is Usyk? Does he have a genuine chance?

Not a huge fan of his but to be fair I think he is on a bit of a hiding to nothing - he stops Usyk, he's only a cruiser weight etc etc.

IF Usyk can bridge the gap in size then yeh I think it will be a very hard earned victory that will deserve a lot of credit............

My money is on him for the late late stoppage - not that my record is worth remortgaging for...............

Here’s the usual cliches for tonight’s match

‘This is shit’

‘Boxing is rigged’

‘what a complete farce’

He does. Again though, assuming no fuckery.

I’m presuming you didn’t watch the hatton fight earlier.

Go back and watch the Hatton fight. Everyone on here wanted him to win but it wasn't close. That's why people think a lot of it is rigged.

Let’s put it like this, if AJ loses there’ll be one of the quickest rematches in boxing history set up (esp if Fury wins vs Wilder)!

Boxing is rigged though, clear as day.

Any chance of a river location please?

Nope. But I’m seeing the same negative comments for pretty much every big fight nowadays.

Yeh to be fair BH, the Hatton farce before was an absolute outrage and nobody batted an eyelid.

Cue it's rigged - because it was............

then why do so many millions watch it. At £25+ a pop.

because the emotional ride, the indignation, the emotional hit. It's storytelling. Kayfabe.

 

[waspish]

What time is the main event?

Because it’s entertainment. People will be out blowing 150 quid on a night out tonight. 25 quid to mainly watch AJ fight a tough bloke, doesn’t feel silly money for me. Doesn’t stop people questioning really dodgy decisions.

Same reason we pay to watch football?

Next 10 mins or so

The Trent is Nottingham.

I simply wouldn’t pay for any sporting event if i thought it was all rigged. But hey ho.
c’mon AJ !
