The all boxing thread

if anyone has something to share later on PMs open

And yeah, I agree about Usyk. Such a great fighter. Just saw Fury weighed in 4 stone heavier than him. . Let's see how that goes.

About two stone of that was his leather jacket lol.

I'm buzzing for it, the build-up has been fun and it's tough to call...but Usyk always finds a way. He started slowly against Bellew even.

I got the PPV last time - first time I've ever paid for a fight (I might have chipped in with friends for Tyson snacking on Holyfield) and having just got paid I'm tempted again.

I’m definitely ordering it. Mrs Numbers is out with her Ma and blisters today and not back until 8pm+ and she wants to watch the main event, I fancy watching from the start.

What was the Holyfield fight with the guy with the parachute? I watched that on mushrooms.

Yeah I'd love to, but I'm working till about six. Anything good on the undercard?

 

[Smangus]

I think if Usyk makes it to the 6-8th round he get it. That's when he ups his work rate.

 

[Rebelda]

I reckon we might get a points draw. Boxing wants the trilogy. Excited! Fury could well win it, he's always got grit for a rematch, but Usyk is a great fighter. Probably gonna watch it down the Bancroft, if not then indoors on the totally legit honest guv firestick.

There's a few I'm personally interested in.
Lowe vs McGregor
Fisher vs Allen
Itauma vs McKean

As for the main bout, I'm reluctantly leaning towards Fury. He would probably prefer if it became a fire fight but that aint happening with Usyk he's too smart a boxer for that. We know Fury can be hurt but Usyk can be hurt too. Less fucking about and showboating from Fury and we might see a landslide victory for him. But it's Usyk

I've gone a score each on Usyk by stoppage in 11 (30/1) and Fury by stoppage in 11 (35/1)

Last time i watched a PPV was Lennox v Tua. Never again.

I look forward to watching this for free in the morning

Presumably, there is some good reason why a boxer would turn up for a pre-fight weigh-in wearing several layers of clothing, with no checks on what they are wearing underneath or as part of the clothing that might affect their weight ... when the object of the weigh-in is to determine the weight of the competitiors?

In other developments, it appears that Tyson Fury's beard now has been cleared to take part in the contest.

It always feels odd watching live boxing this early in the day.

What irks me tho’ is how empty the arena is early doors, it’s the same in Vegas etc, personally any show I’ve been or go to no matter how big or small an event I always get there from the off.

Looks like he should be an expert on Bargain Hunt here...

Tbh with heavyweights the weigh-in is mainly for show as there's no upper limit, so both dudes get an opportunity to show or hide what they're likely to step into the ring with.

Seems to be streaming free on one of the big web portals here, might have to stay up.

i could watch Fury for twenty five quid or Oppenheimer for five quid later.Tight git that i am will probably read a book.

 

[Numbers]

McGrail vs Edwards, great fight.

Am at home for Christmas and my Dad’s totally legit firestick is on the blink, so I guess I’ll just be tuned into the coverage on here.

steal the fight off the interwebz

problem solved

 

[Numbers]

Great undercard so far, that was a proper gruelling fight (Fisher vs Allen).

 

[Steel Icarus]

Dave Allen vs Johnny Fisher was a massive slugfest, terrific heart and chins from both.

Do you think they scored it right?

No, I personally had it for Allen by a smidgen but a draw would have been the best result.

 

[Rebelda]

Just occurred to me we won't get a trilogy on a points draw so I take my prediction back. Fury to win.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Not heard of Moses Itauma before today but he's getting a lot of praise from the pundits
