Old Froch at it again, this time with AJ. I get he's a bit of a prick and a conspiracy theorist but he is funny when he's coming back at someone and he makes me chuckle.

August 3rd card from LA is excellent. Terence Crawford is fighting Israil Madrimov and the fight promo is similar to a Hollywood movie. Don't be surprised if you get a little emotional watching this. Don't forget Bakole is fight Jared Anderson and Andy Ruiz Jr against Jarrell Miller and can David Morrel win in style again?

 

[McTallshort]

Interesting development. Shows all this matchroom v Queensbury stuff is a load of ****** and that promotors take advantage of silly tribalism when it suits but money talks.

Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora this weekend and the undercard is tasty.

 

[McTallshort]

Good old war Chisora. Shame for Joyce but you just can't get hit as much as he does and expect to win.

£25 well spent. Looking forward to all these great fights tonight + Eminem performing. Martin Bakole vs Jared Anderson will be tasty. Going to stay up alllllll night - won't bother setting the alarm (7 hour time different)

Problems in the Dubois camp ahead of Saturday's fight with AJ. Don't know what it is with fighters and their dads.

 

[McTallshort]

Well done Dubois. Wish I had put a few quid on those odds

AJ's career over? What a drubbing in front of 96k.

I'm sure AJ will take the rematch as it's another big pay day bankrolled by the Saudis. They could sell out Wembley again or have it in Saudi.

Fury looked gutted almost as if he wanted AJ to win to set up a mega fight series if (and that's a big IF) he beats Usyk in December.

Pleased for Dubois. His right hand is lethal and you need to have elite level footwork and ring IQ to stay away from it. Wouldn't be shocked if AJ won a rematch though as both are capable of ending things with one hit.

Daniel Dubois v Anthony Joshua highlights

I think this was pretty humiliating. Sure he could take another big pay day but he's just gonna get another beating.

Poor Joshua He got well and truly BATTERED. His cheerleading fanboy arse licking protection squad are still crying (Bunch of gimps) Tony Bellew, Johnny Nelson, Derek Chisora, Spencer Fearon, David Haye & Talk Sport's Spencer Oliver are clowns Matchroom/Eddie are on life support.

That Beterbiev vs Bivol Press Conference today was FIRE (October 12th)

 

[McTallshort]

That whole match room/Queensbury thing is a real thing to you isn't it?

Beterbiev vs Bivol .
The most interesting fight for me.
Really hope for Dmitry, but I think Beterbiev will get it... anyway, should be incredibly exciting

Beterbiev vs Bivol coming up October 12th - check out the Fight Promo.

Did anyone see the Eubank Jr rant at the Press Conference yesterday? (Last video)

 

[McTallshort]

Poor old Brick top really can't take it can he.

AJ's career over? What a drubbing in front of 96k.

Should be, but as said, another big cheque might sway that the wrong direction.

But definitely the end (or perhaps more accurately it becoming undeniable to everyone) of him being considered in the top tier of heavyweights. (If he ever truly should have been considered there is another story.)

Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 Press Conference starting at 5pm

Gotta love Usyk
