I'm in the GGG camp too but I do love watching Canelo. He's usually class in the build up and in the ring he's a veteran with youthful energy. Great fighter and it's a shame that he has now and forever been linked with cheating.

See if GGG executes the "Ginger Snap". Apparently they plan to fold Canelo up with some body shots. 

You know GGG will get to work early looking for the body shots asap. If he slows him down as early as round 6/7 then he is still going to have to land some incredible shots to drop Canelo. He has to be careful not to lose the first 6 rounds trying to catch him. I think Canelo had all the skills to avoid a KO. So it's interesting to see who can win the early rounds. You'd expect GGG to take over by the end. 

Any predictions for GGG v Canelo? Respect for both doing it again. Great fighters. 

I reckon GGG gets hurt for the first time as he takes more risk. But GGG on points. 

It's going to be interesting to see what Canelo does different. GGG said he'll work the body more and be more aggressive. He'll obviously try to slow Canelo and pressure him. 

What can Canelo do? In the first fight he fought quite well but GGG seems to be very comfortable taking shots at that weight. He'll have to be even fitter than last time to win not got walked down.

Oh, and Charles Martin (remember him?) was on the undercard, and got beat by some fat Polish guy.

Seriously, how the hell did he ever become a world champion? He won the lottery by picking up that belt and then cashing in against AJ. He's absoutely terrible. Seriously, even someone like Hughie Fury would school him.

 

 

He only got that world title because didn't the other bloke do his ACL or something? 

You watch him make a fortune off Pac now instead of taking the fights people actually want to see. I mean does anyone really enjoy watching Paquiao fight anymore? 

I would rather watch Eastenders than Khan but yeah, boxing season is on! 

C'mon GGG!!

Eddie Hearn will be rubbing his hands because now his money tree only has to beat 1 of Wilder and Fury to be the king rather than 2 high risk fights. 

"We want to fight the winner of Fury and Wilder"

I believe Joshua does but not his trainer or Hearn.

I reckon Fury beats Wilder. I think he’ll make it a boring fight, dodge the windmills and box his way through.

Wilder isn’t a great boxer, just a very hard hitter. I can see him getting outclassed.

Hope so. 

C'mon Tyson lad. Plant your feet and fire from the hip sometime. 6ft 9, 19st. He can bang any heavyweight out of if he ever went for a full hook. He's so defensive. 

I do love Tyson now he's back. He's all over the place mentally. Makes people relate. 

Top man!!!!

Who do people think will win out of KSI and Logan Paul?

Both, considering how many people tune in. It's bizarre 

Tyson goes again tomorrow night. Hopefully doesn't mess around and gets straight to work. Wilder coming over and hopefully they'll announce that fight.

Frampton v Warrington should be on the cards too after he wins tomorrow. 

Some good fights coming up over the next couple of months.

Fury v Wilder might be on.

Good. So fed up of the back and forth between Joshua and Wilder.

"I'll fight anyone, anywhere".... But only if the money, location and date and time are right, yeah? So not anyone, anywhere then

I would laugh if Tyson takes Wilder out. Than that gobshite loses a payday and you know Tyson won't be nice for Hearn to work with. He'll milk them more than Wilder will. This is the guy that was going to pull out the Wlad fight in Germany on the day of the fight if they didn't take extra padding out the ring canvas. 

Tyson better be serious on August 18th. Get rid of this Pianetta in style.

What does everyone think of Usyk, the real deal or another hype job? His promoter has been making a lot of noises the past few weeks.

Yeah, real deal. You can watch him beat Joe Joyce on YouTube in an old video. Its a professional fight but in the amateurs. 

He's not got all the skills of Lomachenko but the resemblance is there. Makes a real fight look like a tactical game of tag. A big Lomachenko is perhaps a fair description.

If Bellew brings him to the UK then he will win the country over I think. He's got plenty of YouTube videos to watch if you're bored sometime. 

Not as entertaining as Lomachenko. That guy is something else. 

If Usyk goes up to HW like he said he will one day then they all better hope his chin can't take a punch with 17st behind it. I bet there's not skills like his all the way down to Canelo at middleweight.

I think Parker will have regrets over how negative he was. Maybe the knockdown shook him but he spent too long looking like he was happy for a points loss. 

That's part of the game unfortunately for Parker.

If you have weight advantage you would be mad not to use it. It's the fight game. You absolutely have to win in this sport. Too much on the line to not use every advantage. Parker now faces a couple of years outside the elite level.

By far the best performance of Whyte's career. The knockdown was a turning point. Even though it was a head collision it clearly switched the momentum. 

Whyte can't resist a tear up and I think his eagerness to trade will get him beat by Joshua or Wilder. In fact I thought he lost the Chisora fight and could lose if they rematch. Parker will be disappointed with his performance. He let all those middle rounds go too easily. 

Whyte is a brute just waiting to be picked off. He's come a long way with a brave face and strong legs. If you can't beat Whyte then you've not boxed well. He's a young Chisora. A former world champion boxer should have the skills to fight off the jab and tee up solid shots. 

Great night of boxing.

Epic show

Beautiful

I would laugh if Breazeale beats Wilder. He won't because he's got a pretty shocking defence. 

Usyk v Gassiev on Saturday. Usyk should get the win. He's beat Joe Joyce in the world series Amateurs without head guards. Decent power, gets out of range quick, clever shot selection. 

Then next week is Parker v Whyte with Takam v Chisora on the undercard. Reckon that's 2 away wins unless a dodgy points win for Whyte comes through. Still think he's overrated and just wants people to stand still while he does his 3 combo. Parker needs a performance badly. He's not landed a clean shot in about a year! 

I do hope we don't hear anymore about Wilder and Joshua. Either announce the fight or shut up. 

I do hope Wilder gets beat before he gets the payday. That would be funny

I had 1 round each way until the knock down. Both great chins. Postol put in a great performance, didnt deserve a 6 to 7 round defeat. Its a big learning fight for Josh, and he came through ok. 

I was going to ask anyone who watched it how they scored it because once yet again the judges seemed to be watching a different fight.

I had Postol ahead until the knockdown but I can see maybe Taylor being 2 ahead or 2 behind. Round 1 was Postol and 2 was Taylor. Then it was close for a few rounds but I can't see how 3 judges would score all those to Taylor. Then in 7 I think Postol was well on top. Taylor still hit the odd eye catching shot but the late/middle rounds were surely to Postol before Taylor came on strong at the end. There's definitely 4 rounds in there at least for Postol and 2 judges couldn't even see that?? One scored had Postol at 110 and another at 108!!!

Boxing really annoys me with this. Nobody would have scored it that wide except the people payed to score it. Terrible  

Anyone watch Josh Taylor v Viktor Postol? 

Great scrap!

Well I did put up a share your gamertag and PSN ID thread but not many have got involved. 

I will be your friend if you like. Won’t charge as it’s you. 

 

Sound!

Not seen that thread somehow. I skip the sticky threads because it's usually boring official stuff. You know, like rules and stuff because you are scared of Google and mates with Uncle Mel. Mans don't read rules

Wilder is as annoying as Ohara Davies

Where do we go from here?

Don't worry, EA has been taking advantage for years too. 

Call Of Duty Black Ops Warfare Starter Pack Ultimate Zombie team unlock DLC.

I love it how we buy half a game now and then the rest of it in paid instalments. 

David could do a similar thing. You could unlock different fonts and more smilies.

I've only tried competitive racing in Forza 4 and it was an absolute blast. All competitors were on voice and were fully aware of where everyone else was on the track. VSCs were adhered to in the event of an accident and it was a good experience. 

The best experience I've had is F1. With full damage people tend to only sacrifice their race if they are being lapped.

Glad someone else out there doesn't get fortnite, I'm the only one out of all my mates who doesn't play it and they talk about it a lot, maybe you need someone to play it with for it to be good, all by myself on playstation you see.

Same here. Most people I know are Xbox. 

But still can't get into the weird building mechanic.
