Bubbles reacted to tomsdubs in Boxing Thread
Can't see it being in the UK to be honest, despite the numbers the fights in the states or Saudi just pay way more. Be a real shame if it isn't here but money talks.
Pulev will be a straight forward KO, stands up straight and just pushes a jab right hand clinch over and over. Easy for AJ to counter.

Watched it again. 3rd time.
Love the little things Fury does. Even when he throws a punch he's thought about the counter punch. Watch when Wilder counter punches and look how Fury has already rolled it or got his shoulder to glance it away. He punches and rolls a defence. Helps being massive that you can hide behind your shoulders. Don't think many if any could do that to Fury.

All the chat, excuses and hype is irrelevant, Fury was incredible. Right up there with the finest heavyweight clashes in recent years...for me, the Fury and AJ vs Klitschko bouts were the only fights I've enjoyed more.
Joshua vs Fury should be amazing. I'm hoping for a trio of fights over the next two years, between two of the all time greats.
I think AJ learned a lot from the Ruiz defeat, and clearly has power and technique. I think Fury is the more streetwise fighter though, nasty, horrible, for 12 lots of three minutes. Who wins? duck knows. Can't wait to find out.

Apologies for the Caps lock, but see first line!
LYING AROUND, PONDERING THE PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD, I REALIZED THAT AT MY AGE I DON'T REALLY GIVE A RAT'S ASS ANYMORE.
IF WALKING IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH, THE POSTMAN WOULD BE IMMORTAL.
A WHALE SWIMS ALL DAY, ONLY EATS FISH, AND DRINKS WATER, BUT IS STILL FAT.
A RABBIT RUNS AND HOPS AND ONLY LIVES 15 YEARS, WHILE A TORTOISE DOESN'T RUN AND DOES MOSTLY NOTHING, YET IT LIVES FOR 150 YEARS. AND THEY TELL US TO EXERCISE? I DON'T THINK SO.
NOW THAT I'M OLDER, HERE'S WHAT I'VE DISCOVERED:
1. I STARTED OUT WITH NOTHING, AND I STILL HAVE MOST OF IT.
2. MY WILD OATS ARE MOSTLY ENJOYED WITH PRUNES AND ALL-BRAN.
3. FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER BEING ABSENT-MINDED.
4. FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER BEING ABSENT-MINDED.
5. IF ALL IS NOT LOST, THEN WHERE THE HECK IS IT?
6. IT WAS A WHOLE LOT EASIER TO GET OLDER THAN IT WAS TO GET WISER.
7. SOME DAYS, YOU'RE THE TOP DOG, SOME DAYS YOU'RE THE HYDRANT.
8. I WISH THE BUCK REALLY DID STOP HERE, I SURE COULD USE A FEW OF THEM.
9. KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
10. ACCIDENTS IN THE BACK SEAT CAUSE KIDS.
11. IT IS HARD TO MAKE A COMEBACK WHEN YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ANYWHERE.
12. THE WORLD ONLY BEATS A PATH TO YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BATHROOM.
13. IF GOD WANTED ME TO TOUCH MY TOES, HE'D HAVE PUT THEM ON MY KNEES.
14. WHEN I'M FINALLY HOLDING ALL THE RIGHT CARDS, EVERYONE WANTS TO PLAY CHESS.
15. IT IS NOT HARD TO MEET EXPENSES...THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
16. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RUT AND A GRAVE IS THE DEPTH.
17. THESE DAYS, I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THE HEREAFTER. . .
17A. I GO SOMEWHERE TO GET SOMETHING, AND THEN WONDER WHAT I'M "HERE AFTER".
18. FUNNY, I DON'T REMEMBER BEING ABSENT-MINDED.
19. IT IS A LOT BETTER TO BE SEEN THAN VIEWED.
20. HAVE I SENT THIS MESSAGE TO YOU BEFORE???...OR DID I GET IT FROM YOU?

Argh, Deontay man, you'd just kinda earned a bit of respect and now you come out with this old baalocks. Maybe next time do your ring walk in a spandex thong bruv, I'm sure that would have you thrashing Fury no bother ?

Bubbles reacted to BaaLocks in Boxing Thread
Where? Well maybe Alabama?
African Americans make up 42% of people on death row and 34% of those executed,17 but only 13% of the population is black. You are seventeen times more likely to be executed in America if your victim what white than if they were black. For every nine people executed one person is exonerated, suggesting one in nine is incorrectly executed. Last year, with a state population of 4.5 million people, Alabama imposed more new death sentences than Texas, with a population of 24 million. Deontay might be a bit of a twonk at times, and he's certainly no Martin Luther King, but it's a little more than attention seeking or - if it is - I sure hope he gets the attention.

C'mon!!!!!!!!!
Credit to Wilder for showing a champions grit. But ask Chisora what Tyson Fury does to you if you don't stop. He never drops pace. He is a 12 round fighter. He. Does. Not. Stop.
When you put Tyson in a fight he comes in with skill and clowning around
When you put a challenge right on his toes then you get a 6ft 9, 19st relentless masterclass of unpredictability.
His off beat timing destroyed Wilder. It's a similar approach of say Usyk at these weights and then you have to go down to the light heavies and super middle to find guys that change height and distance so quickly and often.
Wilder is truly beaten by Fury now. Surely he won't be back for more. He's had 19 rounds to stop Tyson. He's won what? 3 rounds max? And he had a nightmare then. Completely unable to even get Fury to respect the jab never mind hold him in place for a hook.
Wilder had a few moments where he was afforded a bit of recovery time and he had one moment where the ref could have called it. The corner did the right thing. Another 5 rounds of that? Live to fight another day dude. You might not be able to if you go out on your shield.
Guess what.
All the world heavyweight boxing titles are in Britain!!! We have 2 heavyweight champions!!

Bubbles reacted to Comrade 86 in Boxing Thread
All kinds of respect for Wilder, I have to say. He's taken a beating there and was still wanting to go on with the fight. Proper and right that it was stopped though. I wonder whether Fury - Wilder 3 will happen now?

Bubbles reacted to RadioactiveWaste in Boxing Thread
First time round (pre ban-was it?? - this is as not a real boxing fan but will get on the bandwagon for notable matches) and problems I didn't have much interest, but i listened to him talking to joe rogan about his problems and comeback prior to the first fight with wilder and the journey he's been on to come back has made me have a lot of respect for him.

I used to dislike Tyson, over the past year or so I've grown to love him, his book is really interesting too.

I wouldn't go as far as that, but I begrudgingly respect him for the difficulties he's overcome the past few years. And I hope he puts Wilder on his arse, as I think Wilder could do with taking down a peg or two...
Too soon???

I really think he's a bit vulnerable. He's 6ft 7 and under 16st? Wobbled numerous times. I really think Tyson could knock him out of he has tweaked his approach to fire off some power shots.
Might just be wishful thinking though. I thought Ortiz would do him the first time. I thought Washington might take him the distance too (I swear Washington went out too easily)
Be gutted if Wilder wins

Wilder is going to go for the early knock down, tire him out quick.
You saw how tired Wilder in the final round or two last time, he's not going to let it get to that again.
Would love Fury to win though!!!

Ready for Saturday night/Sunday morning!!!
Gonna be tense for every second it lasts. Tyson needs to plant his feet for once! 12 rounds of boxing will be tough for the ticker.

There is some repetition of ideas but a lot more variety than you give it credit for, but not quite sure what you expect from a series entitled Black Mirror?
If you haven't watched the 10 series or so of Walking Dead then let me warn you that every episode is basically about escaping from Zombies.
Dr Who has a Doctor travelling through space every cuffing episode and... get this Lost...? they are lost on a desert Island in every one of its 100+ episodes.....

Bubbles reacted to May Contain Nuts in Watchable telly
Black Mirror is the perfect show for people who think they're more clever and interesting than they actually are. I like Charlie Brooker a lot for his comedy and social commentary but when it comes to creating something more substantive he's found lacking in variety.
There are 22 episodes, maybe 6 of them are excellent, 4 very good, 6 'sort of OK' and the other 6 piss poor, overlong, unimaginative, boring and stretched out 25 minutes longer than any of their basic, repetetive thematic ideas ever warranted.
I mean... yeah we get it, in the future everything is recorded/accessible/watched via an implant. You've based more than half of your episodes on this idea, it's boring now.
The bandersnatch episode was ruined by poo casting of unbelievable characters played by unsympathetic actors who didn't suit the characters.
Inside No.9 lost its way a couple of years ago but I've enjoyed nearly all of the episodes in the past 2 seasons despite a serious lull before that.
