Boxing please

It was a good fight, Inoue pretty much dominated the whole fight bar the flash knockdown in the first. Even then by the way he got up and shrugged it off never thought he was in danger of losing.

Stick think Crawford is #1 in the world and Inoue 2nd.
 
Not sure about that. A good big 'un will beat a good little 'un, so for me it depends on which version of Fury turns up. If he's at his sharpest, he wins IMO.
 
I’m going to guess Usyk will try and chop him down. Use his speed and ability to attack the arms and body. Be the busier fighter and tick off the rounds.

Main event is meant to start from 11.

Not too sure on the undercard.

  • Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis - for vacant IBF cruiserweight title
  • Mark Chamberlain vs Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab
  • Sergey Kovalev vs Robin Sirwan Safar
  • Isaac Lowe vs Hasibullah Ahmadi
  • David Nyika vs Michael Seitz
  • Moses Itauma vs Ilja Mezencev
  • Agit Kabayel vs Frank Sanchez
 
Wilders single punch power is absolutely devastating. How he could handle a top tier boxer I don’t know. Fury wasn’t 100% and hasn’t got the power to knock him out.

Usyk must be licking his lips at the division. I can see him taking all the belts.
Cough Cough
 
Was a better and busier fight than I expected.

Any other fight and it gets called off in the 9th.

But if that didn't happen it would have been a draw on the cards.

Mad.

For a heavy weight fight I was entertained throughout.

Roll on October.

How it wasn’t called off I do not know. Had the ref stopped it nobody would complain.
 
Absolutely, he was literally saved by the bell. But in hindsight was probably the right call.
Had the other two judges called it the way of the mongy one then it wouldn’t have been the right call.

I’m not sure what happens in the HW division now. AJ won’t beat Usyk. Fury wont win the rematch. The gap to the rest is huge. I’d rather go straight to Fury Joshua.
 
Fury was in shape last night and still lost so I'm holding my hand up and saying I got it wrong. He is 37 after all and I didn't factor that in.
 
I do wonder what shape he’d be in after 6 months between fights. I think Usyk will look after himself better whereas Fury seems to do a Hatton.

Fury camp got it all wrong. No defence, played on the back foot, not sure if he was trying to do rope a dope when he kept going into to ropes. In the early rounds Fury was land blows, and had the advantage, with Usyck very much hurt, but then allowed Usyck to come back by backing off
 
Fury should be disqualified for those shorts. Or skirt even.

Boxers should be made to wear shorts that actually stop at the waist and not halfway up the chest.
 
Catterall Taylor was a good fight, much better than the first. Right man won for me, 116-113. Catterall proving to be too good for Taylor once again. Bob Arum post fight 🤣🤣

Less said about the state of the Okolie fight the other night the better.
 
Fury gonna balloon up between now and then try and trim down only to be beaten up once again.

BREAKING: Rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury confirmed for December 21st in Saudi Arabia 🚨
 
Yep. I don't think he's ever fully recovered from seeing Fury beat the count after taking his best shot, and now age is catching up with him as well.

He’s never been technically great and mix that with fighting a lot better boxers means he’s been found out somewhat. It doesn’t help he doesn’t seem to have the heart for it either.

Not too sure of the Dubois victory. How many of those cuts were caused by fists and not heads. It seemed a bit dirty at times. If he gets Joshua at Wembley arena in September he will be banged out if he starts like last night. Hrgovic could hit him at will in the first three or four rounds.

Bivol did Bivol things.

Sheeraz bored the shit out of me. Straight out the Callum Smith / Joe Gallagher playbook. Excessive guard and take the blows to tire out the opposition. Then use the long limbs to blow them away late in the fight.
 
So the AJ/Dubois fight has come to pass. Dubois has the proverbial puncher's chance, but I don't see it going beyond 4 rounds and wouldn't be surprised if AJ finishes it even earlier.
