TKO? Don't you mean UD after the 12th...

No. I think the ref will stop the fight in the later rounds, I think Fury will be more aggressive this time around. Roach's criticisms of Davidson in the 1st fight were fair and I think Tyson will have listened to them.

Can't say I agree.

Besides boxing is all fixed and as it's already confirmed this will be a trilogy,so it has to end in a ambiguous/controversial way that makes fans want to pay up to see a 3rd fight

Superb fight announced as "done" for 2020 by Arum.

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez

Lopez is one of Arum's favourites and, of course, we all know how good Loma is, so this is going to be fascinating if it goes ahead.

My guess is that both fighters will get paid very well, and that Loma will likely win on points. But will be sufficiently competitive so that a rematch is always available for when Loma is ready to pass the baton onto Lopez.

[Davos123]

That's a fantastic fight. Really hope it goes to MSG not Saudi.

[Daniel1]

This was pre planned for after the Lopez fight as he called him out right after his victory and Loma was there with a pretty scripted response.

Not been a post in a while on this thread, so this might be of interest to some here... Teddy Atlas gives his perspective on corruption in boxing....

Any gossip Tusc?

[272BHP]

Not much happens in the Boxing world in January, I can only surmise that fighters really like Christmas!

Must be something of interest on in the next few weeks surely?

[Gameface]

Not even a little bit tiger.... I am only just getting back into the gym myself after 10 months of doing way less than I should or could.. stripped my shin to the bone doing box jumps last February and couldnt feel the right side of my leg for 4 months!.. promised myself this year I'm getting fighting fit again although the wife has expressly denied me any actual fights citing me too much of an old man these days (45 now)....so gym spars at best I reckon...

I can tell you jazza Dickens is training like an absolute monster for his upcoming fight in feb though

[Purso]

Well glad you are on the mend mate 👍

WTF? Ouch. Reading that actually made my old shin twinge in sympathy (I embedded the pointy end of a pick axe in it levering a flag stone up 15years ago) . Glad you're on the mend.

cheers tiger, yeah it was pretty full on. trying to do really high box jumps on a metal square box.... right foot slipped off so my full weight landed on my shin on the corner of the box.you'd be surprised how easy it is to unzip the skin and muscle covering your shin bone (sounds like you know where i'm coming from!!)...

i must have severed a nerve because it didn't hurt THAT much... looked down to see a lovely 2 inch stretch of snow white bone

anyway, yeah, a 4 month stint of having no feeling down half your leg is pretty weird... by mid summer when i was good to go again i'd lost a lot of momentum and coasted through the last 6 months of the year...it's amazing how many reasons you can find to miss training when you've gone off the boil but a lot of upheaval at work gave me the perfect excuse to lay off and drink too much...

oh well, back on the horse now anyway!!

great fight... now that gonzalez has slipped a fair bit and the fact that yafai is so skillful i see a bit of a career defining fight for kal

[NuckyThompson]

It’s a good card in general that one, looking forward to the Jay Harris v Martinez fight. Big step up in levels for Harris but il have a cheeky few quid on him.

Met Martinez when he fought Edwards on the Loma v Campbell card. Lovely fella despite not speaking English haha. We though he was waving to us post fight but turns out his dad was sat behind us haha
