The **BOXING** thread (Vol 4)

So is it a thing now to sign fights for the next guy after not having beaten the one in front of you? Can’t be the best for mental preparation?

Bakole vs Hrgovic is good. Wilder vs Parker will be a useful gauge to see how much Wilder has left. And Dubois vs Miller is intriguing.

The unusual point about these Saudi cards is they are not even designed to make money - it is openly about sports-washing - so I think they will keep the price point low to get more eyeballs.

PPV in the UK isn’t going over £30 just yet but the Saudis don’t decide, they sell broadcast rights to each territory and then it’s down to whomever bought it

Good card
Parker should beat Wilder as long as he keeps his chin tucked in. Should out box him.
AJ should comfortably beat Wallin. Too much fire power. Does a win take AJ any closer to another title fight though?
Dubois Vs Miller is interesting. Dubois needs a win but he will have his hands full with Miller. If Miller wins he could be in the mix for a shot at the title or at least an eliminator.

I think Dazn would charge £20, Sky £25 and TNT £30.

that's a decent card that to be fair.. every fight worth a watch!

[g4ry13]

If they mix up the ring walks we might get to see 2 decent fighters in the same ring

[Lee Jones Jnr]

Wilder v Parker is the highlight for me

[fridaypassion]

Decent night I reckon the Parker Wilder fight will be a war.

[carlo996]

AJ, shame he’s not as aggressive in the fight

[epom]

At last….

[g4ry13]

I'll remain sceptical until February 17th.

[fridaypassion]

I don't think it will happen

[Unreal]

Wake me up when they're doing the ring walk. It's more likely Dad will fight Mike Tyson.

Funny how Fury was subdued squaring upto Usyk after the Nganouu fight.Now all of a sudden we get the full of crap im the best ever your getting sparked out middleweight broken old record crap.I for one hope Usyk wins just a much more humble guy.For all the hype I think it will be a cagey chess match.Fury has fought very static heavies in last 5 years Usyk gives him lots of problems and I don't believe he can get in Usyks head.

[carlo996]

I heard something the other day where he (Fury) was saying all the boxers were 'bums' so he just wanted to fight, er, fighting men. Long time fan of his, but he's proving impossible to understand. Tired of hearing dates, and wht his dad or his brothers think, it's boring.

You think it might be moved to Feb 30th ?

[fridaypassion]

Usyk has already won judging by that press conference. Fury just repeating the same crap as usual Usyk absolute class as ever. Usyk is certainly living rent free in Luke's head.

I really hope it does happen and for the regulars I apologise well in advance because of Usyk does win I'm unlikely to shut up about it for quite some time afterwards just putting that out there

Seriously though Fury is going to get knocked out.

[jules_s]

Just watched the presser

Jees- Fury really is a tt, but he was just doing his usual wind up gig we've all heard before zzzz.

I think it will happen btw

[Bright Halo]

This just maybe the first time I don’t want the Brit to win.
Sick of all Fury’s histrionics, Usyk just so professional and cool.
