Won't be any Matchroom UK cards on DAZN until Matchroom's exclusive contract with Sky is up. Still, getting Canelo next weekend and Estrada-Gonzalez a couple of weeks after is well worth the €2 imo

Joshua v Pulev was included on the 2euro subscription i believe. Strange how you can get PPVs but not the regular Sky fight nights.

Getting Joseph Parker fight from New Zealand Saturday morning.
Top name in the sport Canelo on Saturday night.

People are complaining about €2 a month!?!

Not sure Joseph Parker is worth 1 fooking euro, never mind 2.

The most frustraing thing about Parker is I actually think there's decent ability there he just always seems to be fighting within himself.
I do think the loss to Joshua took some of the belief out of him aswell.

Yep

His AJ performance was terrible, and folks spent most the time slagging AJ here....Parker was in only to spoil and survive.....after all the bullsh1it bluster before the fight saying what he was going to do

Similar to the most frustrating of all, Danny Garcia......

Odd fighter........so pedestrian and casual at times.....

I think that came about in part because of the actions of the overzealous Italian referee. Parker seemed to want to mainly fight inside, and the referee broke the fighters anytime they got within two feet of each other !
He genuinely broke them apart several times when there was no clinch, and it wasn't like the heads had come together or anything either.
Completely ruined the fight and I think when Parker's gameplay was removed as an option he basically quit trying to win.

ya heard someone say at the time it was lucky the ref was there because a fight nearly broke out.

Yes. I remember. And it brings up an interesting point. Who benefitted more from the referee?

There seems to be a belief that it favored AJ, but maybe AJ could have done more damage had he also been allowed to fight inside....

Similar to the Hatton fans who try to say that Hatton was handicapped due to Coretz not really allowing Hatton to work inside. Maybe he was handicapped, because from any type distance he had no hope.

Anytime he was inside he was doing fook all, and, had Cortez not interfered, Floyd may well have done more effective work and damage, and beaten Hatton clearer.

Enjoyed it, but Bruno was a complete irrelevance to the career of Tyson in fairness. But I know it was more the British spin on it in fairness. Say whatever you want but Tyson was a menacing character back in the day with a very short fuse.

Bruno really had shocking stamina, but how good was round 1 of fight number 1? Imagine Frank had done a buster Douglas before buster did? Then again he probably wasn't as big an outsider.

I remember watching the McCall fight in a pub after a football match. Went from nobody watching it to the whole bar roaring him on at the end.

Wow! one of the judges scored it 119-109 Parker :eek:

I know I said I wasn't scoring it but Fa took a lot more than 1 round.

Not often you see a three round quit job. Embarrassing.

I knew Yildirim was muck, but he really outdid himself earlier..

10 weeks to Saunders.

1. Fight happens and Saunders gets thoroughly dominated
2. Saunders forgets his gumshield and fight cancelled.

Yeah I have serious doubts this actually goes ahead. Although maybe the Canelo cash will be enough for Billy

I think the fight will happen. He’s been building for this for years now a crack at either GGG or Canelo. I think Billy Joe will have 4 stone on him by autumn
