No wonder Fury got up, his side prayed to two different gods before the fight, Wilder only had the one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRds5cN24OM

So I guess we're all assuming Kelly walks through this guy tonight?
His fight got pulled as he's sick. Which is a shame as it was the bout I was most looking forward toFredClogs said:
Zarafa is a tough kid but no head movement from Kell, looks laboured and on this form even half an Amhir Khan will pepper him and make him look quite silly.
It didn't look like the Brook I've seen previously. Laboured is the right choice of word imo. Surely we have to conclude he is playing possum to encourage Khan to come and take $10m "easy money".

I actually think brook should be looking to cash out now and do a Pacquiao deal.
The weight classes around him are brimming with talent and I don’t things he’s got enough in the tank to fight the top guys any more.
Would truly piss Khan off and if he beats Pacquiao it devalues that fight for him.

Finkel said that as long as Hearn conducts business privately rather than spouting off in the media (i.e. Sky Sports), then he'll be happy to have a grown-up conversation. Sounds very fair to me. Whether Hearn is capable of that is another matter.
Khan would be wasting his, Crawford's and everybody else's time in a) pursuing that fight, and b) taking that fight if it was miraculously agreed. Crawford would absolutely humiliate him.
Bob Arun has said paperwork in progress so seems negotiations are progress... If goes ahead than will take place in the US.Khan would be wasting his, Crawford's and everybody else's time in a) pursuing that fight, and b) taking that fight if it was miraculously agreed. Crawford would absolutely humiliate him.
Loma looked decent the other night - especially considering he's back from shoulder surgery and a lay off. The standards set for him are stupidly high, so some of the reactions about him being no good seem exaggerated. His work in the 11th was staggering. Wants a Garcia fight soon too!

Brook offers little to Pacquiao. He isn't well known in the US and I don't think he has ever headlined a PPV fight in the US. The weight classes around him are brimming with talent and I don’t things he’s got enough in the tank to fight the top guys any more.

I think we will find Pacquiao is happy with his fight vs Broner and, assuming that goes well, he will go for a massive payday for the rematch with Mayweather.

I agree - I watched an extended highlights video today. and I thought he looked super. His punches are just so accurate, even when his opponent is moving. And the way he creates space for his attacks by moving to the either side is very skilful and is very enjoyable to watch.

Deontay WIlder is now live on Rogan's podcast
Joe is sounding remarkably clear given he's got Wilder's cock in his mouth.I seriously have no idea what such an experienced person like Joe is so blind when talking about Wilders "unholy freakish power" ...when a heavyweight swings from the houses with biiiig long Happy Gilmore run ups OF COURSE a professional heavyweight fighter can make power! Problem with that is a skilled fighter can by & large see the punches coming a mile off and get out of the way. ..or am I missing something?
Wilder looked bad and was losing against Ortiz until he got a lucky swing in and outright lost against Fury barring a corrupt decision from that Mexican Judge, at the very least he has been shown to be a flawed fighter when he comes up against a half decent opponent.
I honestly believe he's not a bad man, quite the opposite infact, but as a prize fighter his skillset is unremarkable and I don't think he'll be remembered with the greats.

Good conversation, you can't not like Wilder, he's so chilled and honest, regardless of how good a boxer you might think he is. I'm surprised he was only 209lbs on the night, that's under 15stone, under 95kg.... I reckon there's year 6s in my kids school who weight that. Davos123 said:

Chisora vs Whyte in just over a weeks time. Winner expected to face AJ in April...Chisora vs AJ PPV...hmm can’t see that being massively appealing. Let’s hope Fury is at ringside!
