Great to see a split decision here on who's fight this will be.
Fury does look to be in good shape, I think he has Ngannou to thank for that but I'll stand by my initial judgement that Usyk will come through.
I hope it's a clear decision and not one that rests on some questionable scorecards.

So this weekend, can anybody see kambosos beating lomachenko?
Seeing weigh in pictures it really surprised me how slight kambosos is in comparison, aside from an inch or so in height loma actually looks the bigger man which is really unusual for him
Loma all the way for me ..Seeing weigh in pictures it really surprised me how slight kambosos is in comparison, aside from an inch or so in height loma actually looks the bigger man which is really unusual for him

Loma should beat Kambosos with ease, not a very competitive fight unless Loma has very quickly aged.
Big boost for Fury yesterday, the ref selected for the Usyk fight is the same guy who reffed Horn Vs Pacquiao. Expect Fury to get away with holding and dirty tactics, particularly low blows.

I'm rooting for him. I absolutely love his ballsy style!

Has anyone other than Holyfield been successful going cruiser to heavy weight?
Bob Fitzsimmons went from Middleweight to heavyweight then back down to light heavy!biggbn said:
Perhaps one of the best light heavies, Bob Foster campaigned at heavy latterly
Possibly a bit before your time but I remember Foster stepping up to heavy at the peak of his powers only to be bounced around the ring, knocked down 7 times or more before being ko'd in the 8th (I think) by the absolute master, Ali.Highlight here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73v03L6QId0

Depends how far you want to go back. Tommy Burns 5’7” middleweight held heavyweight title 1906 to 1908. 13 successful defences!
I've you haven't read the book about Jack Johnson dethroning burns on boxing day 1908 in Australia it's well worth a read pal....I've actually got a hand written note by Tommy burns, one of the rarer pieces in my collection.... I'd love to get a jack Johnson signature but they are rarer than hens teeth and proper big dough..... I think she'd de bk me if I tried to slip one into the house unnoticed

Can't see Kamboses getting near Loma. Different levels. Unless Loma gets old in this fight but no sign of that against Haney.
Pretty much spot on, completely outclassed. Fantastic to watch! I'm a Kambosos fan big time and hoped he could overcome an ageing Loma.
He was on another level and admittedly a joy to watch.
After all this time it will be quite weird getting Fury actually in the mix. I wonder if whatever the result he will take the rematch? I think he will show for this one as his career is basically over if he doesn't.
When sorry if he looses I think it will be extremely hard for him to take and would predict a pretty long holiday and very much doubt he would go for another boxing lesson. If he won I think it would take everything he has and would probably want to put off a second go for as long as possible in fact he would probably retire.
I just can't see how he can beat Usyk but it's certainly the fight of the decade to look forward to. Fury will be trying to dig in every low blow and body shot he can get past the ref thats the only hope I see him having.
