Oh well nevermind. Looks like Arum and Warren have stitched Eddie Hearn up. Arum already had a venue booked for Fury Wilder 3. Frustrating

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Or Arum makes a more lucrative deal for Wilder to face the winner of Fury v AJ. Win, win.

Apparently Wilder wants 20m to step aside which no-one in there right mind would pay, if he was clever which he isnt, he'd ask for 2-3m step aside money and have an interim fight or 2 (considering he's coming off over a year+ out of the ring and shoulder surgery) and do a deal to fight the winner next year for a mega fight. But the mans full retard and will de-rail the Aj Fury fight in the summer and get knocked out again by Fury instead.

Fury v Wilder: Third fight signed for 24 July at Las Vegas venue

British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury signs his contract to face Deontay Wilder for a third time on 24 July.

So much for AJ v Fury.

Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul is a prank but boxing is a dangerous game

The bout between one of the greatest boxers of all time and the obnoxious YouTuber is lucrative. But even experienced fighters get hurt

Wilder would never be worth 100 million. Not in a 100 million years. Team Fury have stitched up Eddie, they knew the Wilder fight was on they even had a venue booked. Very sad. My opinion of Tyson Fury has dropped dramatically. The only heavyweight who behaves like a champion is AJ

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Anyone who wants to watch Logan punching thin air and hugging Floyd for 8 rounds. And not pay for it.

In honour of the fight of the century 50 years ago.

whose watching AJ v Usyk tonight?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

AJ being played with a bit.
Though I heard the judges gave a horrible call in the Hatton fight so homeground might help him

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Is AJ controlling with his left jab?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Usyk is a proper boxer

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Feels like AJ and Fury are gonna lose and it will be a bad year for the british heavyweights

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Listening to it bbc 5 live. Usyk sounds like he's controlling it.

It's a shame because Fury is easily the best boxer in the division - it's just athleticism will get you so far in combat sports
It's like in the UFC - Ngannou's fundamentals are awful, but he could punch a hole through a brick wall so he just KOs significantly better martial artists every fight because all he needs is a hint of an opening - there's a great slowmo clip of him vs Rozenstruik (who is a lifelong kickboxer) - Rozenstruick does everything right, slips 99% of the shots, counters repeatedly - Ngannou just closes his eyes and windmills until one of them lands and Rozenstruik is dead to the world
Wilder is the same - he'll probably KO Fury despite his boxing being, comparatively, terrible

TBF Fury is his own worst enemy.
Wilder is a weaker boxer but he's at least disciplined.


AJ getting exposed here so far.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Knew Joshua would lose because Mujati has been championing him all week

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Joshua just needs one shot.
But is he a good enough boxer to find it against such a quick competent fighter?
