At least Saudi is a reasonable time zone for British viewers. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Eddie has had all the power in this. I bet he's been shaking Saudi Prince hands, sailing past the Sydney Opera House and dining from a Vegas Penthouse for the last few months. Finally seduced I'm sure he'll make a fortune from this. Don't blame him. Bob Arum has lost touch and Frank Warren has been struggling to sell out leisure centers. Be awkward in my house. I think I'd prefer Tyson to win but the Mrs prefers Joshua. Either way, so long as there's no dodgy poo it will be epic. Meanwhile Floyd Mayweather is still conning people and they're still falling for it. Mugs. Full on mugs.

Jubbs Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I 100% want AJ to win. Just don't like Fury's cult like following, just want them all to get shut up, along with Fury. I just want AJ in a post fight press conference just calling Fury a dosser Andicis, Philmycock and JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Whoever wins we end up with a British unified HW champion, so it that regard I don't care. What I do want to see is the reaction of every know it all boxing fan on social media if Fury gets his head knocked off. Also keep an eye out for Wilder and his cult of fanboys gobbing off whoever wins despite the fact he has already lost to Fury and ducked AJ.

Alph Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think there's blind fans of either fighter. Some of the criticism aimed at AJ... that he can't box, he's stiff, no movement, gases out... Look at the guys CV. He can bloody box and he is dangerous through a whole fight. How are they saying this? He's very obviously the biggest threat to Fury. And then on the other side there's those that just don't respect the little things Fury does. The serious side of him hidden behind a clown mask. That think AJ is just gonna be able to drop bombs on Fury because Otto Wallin did. We're gonna see the best Tyson Fury we've ever seen. And considering his performances v Chisora, Wlad and Wilder that's a scary prospect. His CV might not match AJ's but when Fury is focused there's not a more natural boxer.

He held the heavyweight division hostage for years by refusing to fight AJ, and now he's stopping unification again. I hope Fury takes his head off if they have to fight again.

Jubbs Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 So that's why Fury made his announcement about the fight the other day. He has an excuse now if it doesn't happen. He'll say something like "Fight was on but Wilder got in the way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 In all fairness, why include a 3rd fight in the contract? This was always likely to be the upshot. Wilder stepping in now stinks, I agree, but why turn every heavyweight clash into a feckin franchise opportunity? Are they not making enough that they don't have to trample over the will of fight fans and their own fighters in order to get their noses in the trough one more time? This is why fans are losing interest in the game and deserting boxing in favour of MMA in their droves. Greedy promoters squeezing the pips out of the game has to be addressed.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Wilder has no belts. The other two hold all the belts. Wilder will be quite happy on the advice of his agents to let this fight go ahead on the understanding he gets to fight whoever wins, as the belts will be all in a nice bundle. If he doesn't win them back he'll get a nice fat 50% of the purse and the chance to fight on home soil which would be incredible for a bloke with no belts by letting this go ahead. Perhaps he can have a new contract drawn up as well giving him another opportunity after that if he loses. He could do it till he's on a zimmer. Either way he gets more cash than fighting Fury now and has one fight to get all the belts rather than two. I can vaguely remember a time when if you lost a world title you had to basically beat 2 or 3 top ten ranked boxers and a couple of up and coming pretenders over a two or three year period to get it back. Now its seems to be dominated by three or four fighters at each weight and there's so many poor standard champions with 4 belts and linear belts on offer. What the bloody hell has Wilder done to have another go. Agents have to much power now. Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 So Josh Taylor did the business against the previously undefeated Jose Ramirez and is now one of only 5 fighters to have unified a division in the 4 belt era. Calling out Terence Crawford for a fight in Edinburgh Castle next. Fair play son, fair play! ? CWC1983, Posh Ram, Andicis and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
