i can see fury boxing his head off for half the fight on the back foot......then getting putting to sleep with some new born giraffe style right hand that he didn't expect

Can see that happening too.

DeGale announcement in December, Eubank fight...?

There might be some issue surrounding the betting anomalies after eubank's last fight.....the massive influx of money on the particular round jj went down in caused some bookmakers to call off all bets....

That said it doesn't seem to have hit mainstream press so who knows. The regale fight was in the bag all along I think

I can see Fury befuddling and ever so slightly out-boxing Wilder only to lose to a hometown decision.

The world/moneymen wants a Wilder vs AJ fight more than a Fury vs AJ fight.

Yep, completely agree. 36 minutes is a long time against a fighter who carries power late into the fight and has great stamina

He managed to avoid Klitschko but did get tagged occasionally with little to no effect but Klitschko wasn't catching him clean with the shots he did land.

It's very intriguing and not a fight I'd like to put money on. I can see either guy winning and making it look easy if I'm honest.

Yeah, balloon the head there tiger.... though I think furys size and inactivity have swung me to seeing it 65/35 in favour of wilder.... but I can see a fury pull out and postponement if I'm honest

I think either fight v Joshua is huge to be fair you know

Yep, both are huge fights but one brings a much bigger American media interest with it.

the big question will come down to this.... can he avoid getting hit clean for 36 minutes??? a SEIOUSLY big ask that!!

That’s it for me - Fury probably has to get it exactly right for 36 minutes, whereas Wilder only needs to get it right just once, with one wild hit.

Nevermind that Fury is the away fighter with a style mostly unappreciated by a casual boxing crowd.

Although talented, Fury keeps banging on about being the lineal champion, and a fight almost three years ago against Klitschko, but if we’re prioritising past glories over recent achievement then why not just go the whole hog and dust-off Lennox Lewis and give him a shot at reclaiming the title.

Finally, having watched that farcical face-off between Fury & Wilder, there’s something very unedifying about white boxers calling black American opponents ‘boy’ in a deep-south accent. Conor McGregor did it against Mayweather as well, and it’s dodgy as f*ck.

[tuscaneer]

kind of agree mate... it did make me wince a bit...but i'm 100% confident fury doesn't really realise what he's saying and the undertone here..i think he is just trying to ape wilder's accent..


in other news wbc have ordered golovkin/charlo for the interim belt...winner to fave canelo.

Some crackers in there. Not sure luke Campbell would agree.

[tuscaneer]

tellin' yer!!

i'll bang up the weekends schedule when i get home after... i'm expecting boxing news to be on my welcome mat when i get in

[Purso]

I'm not sure broner will be that happy either but then unless he was fighting an amatuer for a fortune he probably wouldn't be happy. It also looked that fury rattled wilder in the recent press conference, it all seems like it's for show but he did appear to break charachter for a minute or 2 and started to be more spiteful and bordering uncontrollably upset!

yep, a few good 'uns coming up there brother!!

[Amirhussain]

Rocky Fielding v Canelo 15th December at MSG.

[tuscaneer]

Just saw that on eddies Instagram feed myself.... utter madness but I suppose it's a life changing amount of money for rocky so you can't really argue with the decision

At middle weight? Just looked Rocky is 6ft 1... And not all that lanky at it... How the fk is he going to make 160lbs and not be ruined... ? Surely canelo isn't going up again...

[tuscaneer]

Yep....Cabell going up .... which is going to cause some disarray down at middle with a massive splintering of belts again..

Wow, more Mexican beef on the menu then I suspect. All the good super middles these day are 6ft plus, as someone who is 5ft9 (canelo sized but more beer than beef) the difference is very hard to overcome.

If canelo is looking at the super middle weight division thinking it's weak and easy pickings he's wrong (in my opinion)

[272BHP]

Well good on him, Canelo is proving to be one of the greats. Not content with moving up to middleweight and fighting GGG to a standstill he is brave enough to keep finding new worlds to conquer.

To be fair this is more than Golovkin did and he is the more naturally heavier guy.
