Which one pulls out injured?

Which one pulls out injured?

I saw that Fury doc and he definitely does not pull out. No idea how many kids Usyk has.

 

[McGrathsipan]

I really hope Usyk bashes him

 

[T00lsh3d]

If Usyk had slightly more power this would be a forgone conclusion. That being said, whilst Fury remains awkwardly hard to hit, when he does get hit he doesn’t take it well

He doesn't but his powers of recovery are pretty insane.

 

[LDUred]

Think we will see Fury go defensive for this fight, keeping it long, using the jab, switching to southpaw, etc. He's too experienced and savvy a boxer to think he can just rough and tumble a skilled boxer like Usyk out of there.

The Francis fight may actually help him fix a few things and have him go back to what he is good at - just being incredibly awkward. If Fury boxes for a points win he has more chance of winning imo because he can simply use his reach to control the distance.

 

[Moston Red]

I’m hoping Usyk knocks him out. Shuts his blabber mouth for good

 

[DixieDean]

Good to see Fury make the fight! On paper, it's a great one that's hard to call.

One thing I took from that press conference is that Fury is not 6'9. Either that or he has shrunk.

Taylor v Cameron in Dublin this weekend.

I think Cameron will stop her this time. She is some operator

If she does that is probably the end for Katie Taylor.

Can't see this not going the distance though, Cameron isn't a particularly big puncher, Taylor never even been knocked down to my knowledge, plus 2 minute rounds obviously.

Definitely worth a fiver if you're confident though, Cameron between rounds 6-10 is 9/1 at SkyBet.

I think ill do that bet for the shits and giggles -
Katie was amazing for womens boxing but she is sure nearing the end.

Cameron will wear her down on the body like she did the last time and Katie might get desperate

 

[thebelfastboy]

Taylor v Cameron just about to start. Big fan of Katie but think this will probably be her final fight

 

[Balljy]

This is looking like it could be a great fight. That's a really bad cut for Cameron though.

It looks nasty. Katie's doing well, she's looking very sharp.

 

[Balljy]

Yeah, her hand speed has gone up a level since the last fight. It's going to be very close, but great by Katie so far. She has to keep the intensity up now.

 

[thebelfastboy]

What a brilliant fight

 

[G-manc]

I think Taylor’s won but the bias on commentary was sickening. Taylor’s holding in the last 2 rounds was a disgrace and wasn’t even warned once.

 

[Withnail]

Excellent stuff. Well done Katie!!

I didn't think she had it left in her.

 

[Balljy]

Well done Taylor and what a fight. There's bound to be a decider between these two now

 

[PoTMS]

Exhilarating fight. We need a trilogy.

 

[Shane88]

Katie is wonderful. Proper Irish sporting icon.

Both fighters had given 100%. I didn't think there was anything untoward. Great fight and 2 fantastic fighters.

give her a feckin airport

Has to be Knock, in that case.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read that post

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

What a woman. Irish icon.

I had my doubts after the first fight. She looked completely off it. Proved a lot of people wrong. Great scrap.

Decent fight on at 9pm on Sky Sports arena with Chris Bilham-Smith defending his title for the first time

His opponent is a crafty old veteran but think CBS takes this one.

Shame it was lining up to be a cracker that and pretty poor from him to quit on stool. Maybe a genuine injury but the guy has waited years for a title shot.

Damaged rib apparently.
Was probably ahead at the time but as an obvious juicer didn't deserve the win.

 

[Redstain]

Great fight one sided beat down from Haney, he totally dominated the distance. Remember watching the Regis v Taylor it was around the 5th round Josh changed the fight by taking the half step back and fencing the left, it changed the fight. Also enjoy seeing Haney using his left to guard the jab from the opposite southpaw, rather than just slipping the angle and potentially getting countered text book boxing.

Don't see Haney losing at 140, Teo would be a fantastic fight for him.

 

[Rams]

Great fight between Bam Rodriguez & Edwards. The skill level from both fighters was off the chart, in the end the swelling and extra reach & power of Rodriguez has made the difference, but Edward’s did himself proud and caused Rodriguez all kinds of problems as well. Great stuff.

Absolutely gutted for Edwards. So much skill on display.

Dubois to stop Miller at 2.5 is surely printing money ?

Miller to get knocked down is 2.0 on skybet

Not necessarily cause Dubois is fecking awful and there is no guarantee that Miller is there to take a dive

He’s really not. What he seems to lack is the mentality and IQ tbh. While he got beat up against Usyk he was also robbed after putting him down with a legit shot. Should be a good fight.

 

[SteveCoppellFan]

Miller without the juice is just plain awful.

Fully expect Dubois to get the stoppage by the middle rounds.

Miller should be blowing out of his backside by then.
