Excuses excuses.

Jeezus. Right about that. What a nutter.

Hmmm, obviously they were give it a draw to get more money on the rematch.

Fury boxed surprisingly well. &, won the fight by 4 rounds despite being on the floor twice.

Bullshit decision. Fury won all but 3 rounds, and boxed brilliantly, imo. How he got up from that combination from Wilder in the last round I do not know,- he was still buzzed after the fight.

Wilder lucky to hang on to his title, but a great fight.

I don't think Joshua will be too concerned about either of those powder puffs.

That was amazing for sure. I have never seen a fighter do something like that after going down that hard. Straight out of a Rocky movie.

It was the best heavyweight fight I have seen in sometime.

You are wrong there both of these guys I saw tonight could beat AJ.

Bullshit. They are both faster and more athletic than Joshua, and either one will expose AJ as overhyped.

Fair result i think. Wilder got a boxing lesson but putting someone on their arse twice and the second time should have been lights out, deserves a draw at least imho.
Fury got it right, both fighters thought they won, but the only winners were the fans.

Whatever, what a fuckin great fight

Fury athletic? He's built like a darts player

And Wilder is a one trick pony.

It is a hell of a trick though when it lands. He exerted loads of energy today smashing fresh air and tbf to him, although outboxed he was never at anytime rocked or in trouble from Fury.

I think Kmart does AJ a big disservice in his post too, Fury may outbox AJ but would he be able to withstand the power of a 19 stone proper heavyweight instead of a 15 stone heavy welter?. Wilder would pose a bigger threat to AJ than the pansy punching pikey i think.

^AJ's camp have been ducking Wilder for a reason. -They know he will starch their cash cow. I think Fury will give AJ a boxing lesson also. Either way, Joshua is now in the slipstream of these two guys, as they most likely now build up to a lucrative rematch. AJ might be 19 stone, but he's just a slightly more mobile version of Frank Bruno, ie; all weights mass (and probably steroids too). He looked vulnerable against a washed up Povetkin last time out, and will now have to settle for the winner of the Dillian Whyte - Dereck Chisora match on 22nd later this month.

I am with Kmart on this one and stand by my comments.

Wilder is no Mike Tyson and Fury no Muhammad Ali, however athletic you wanna dress up the vastly inferior by your 'pound for pound' Pikey.

AJ can also get off the canvas as shown against Klitchko and is a rung above the 2 fighting today imho.

3 unbeaten boxers though in not a classic line up and lots to look forward to.

Under the radar of the Fury-Wilder fight, a big sea-change at Light Heavyweight; long-reigning linear champ Adonis Stevenson v Olyksander Gvodsyk.

Challenger another one of these gifted Ukrainians (think: Lomachenko; Usyk) with great foot movement and boxing skills.

Full fight here:

espn had it for Wilder. Those first 5 rounds were close and two 10-8 rounds does make a big difference... Gonna be a good rematch. I thought it was a Fury victory as well, but not robbery at all.

^I think the first 5 rounds weren't close at all; Wilder didn't land anything on Fury apart from a jab in the second round. The fight had enough drama without the judges getting in on he act. Anyway, agreed that the rematch will be highly anticipated and hopefully anywhere near as good.

Not fond of that gypo at all, but you have to give credit where it's due: fought excellently, was brave and tough, and good humoured:



(would not be surprised to find out that he was off his nuts on super juice...)

This is the reality of boxing. Sad...

Adonis Stephenson in hospital, critical condition.

No need to wonder anymore about why few Brits make forecasts when Brits fight in the US, snubby.

We gave up after Holyfield v Lewis.

Yes. Hope he pulls through okay. The fight I posted above^^^^ was competitive for the duration, but the younger guy Gvodsyk was punishing Stevenson with clean hard punches especially in the later rounds before the 11th round stoppage.
Stevenson has held the lineal LH title for a long time. Probably should have retired earlier, and made way for the younger hungrier guys.

It was the American judge that had Fury winning the fight. The Mexican gave it to Wilder and the British judge called it a draw so technically you did it to yourselves.

Bit of a heads up. Tomorrow, arguably boxing's best P4P() fighter Vasyl Lomachenko takes on challenger Jose Pedraza to unify at Lightweight 135lbs.

NEW YORK -- The brilliant lightweight world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko is widely considered the pound-for-pound best boxer in the world despite having just 12 professional fights. He is aiming to add another significant accomplishment to his resume to embellish his argument.
Lomachenko won world titles in three weight classes -- featherweight, junior lightweight and lightweight -- and is already in the record book, having tied the mark for fewest fights needed to win a world title (three) and setting the record for fewest fights needed to win titles in two divisions (seven) and three divisions (12).
He has always wanted to unify world titles, but he did not get the chance in his previous two divisions because the other titleholders had no interest in tangling with him. Now, at lightweight, he will have that opportunity against the willing Jose Pedraza, known as the "Sniper," when they meet in the main event of a Top Rank Boxing on ESPN

Looking forward to this. Pedraza is a good opponent especially strong at 135lbs, and hopefully will give Lomachenko a few problems, especially coming back after shoulder surgery from his last outing (a fucking cracker of a fight with Jorge Linares).
Love watching this guy. Footwork and movement are off the charts. Has a good stoppage / ko ratio also; basically wearing opponents down.
