    I think wilder will struggle with Chisora nevermind Usyk going on the past performances of the last three men.


    Tyson fury is aiming to come back for April

    Chisora probably beats Wilder



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,422 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    He implies it’s the likely outcome though. Don’t think Wilder will beat Derek either. He’s done. It’s a pity we didn’t see him against Povetkin or Joshua to just name 2

    so we have tkv v johnny fisher for the British title announced, anyone else think fisher might just get ironed out again, im wondering if it’s a sink or swim test

    He didn’t listen to his corner at all last time and made hard work of the fight

    I suppose it’s an interesting fight. Against Clarke I thought tkv was pretty impressive. He was unlucky against David Ad but I think the outcome was always going that way. I can’t see enough improvement from Fisher. I think he’s below pro level where belts are on the line. Jamie is sneaky and hits mean. I think Fisher will stiffen and get taken out with a big overhand or hook. He should try to keep the fight at distance but I can’t see him being able to do that. Not sure why Allen didn’t get that shot, more even fight but I’d say even rather than an Allen win

    I think Dave has a stadium fight lined up for a big payday and that could be to fight the winner

    Think Fury will spark him quick. Hes slow and ploddy and very hittable.

    Makmudov not Fury!

    Perfect fight for Fury. Thought Big Mak came across so well during and after the Allen fight so

    I’m pleased he’ll get a big night. Whatever about the Kabeyal fight the Vienello one showed that he’s very fragile in any kind of decent company. For the sheer chaos I’d love him to put Fury on his hole

    Wilder went off on one in a Simon Jordan interview. He reeeeally didnt want to be asked about Fury. It somehow became racial. Funniest part was Chisora sitting next to him passes Wilder a box of tissues!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Chisora brought a life size cutout of fury along to the press conference, he knows what he’s doing it’s all clicks and views. The two boxers had an interview with Rick Reno and the things wilder was saying was ludicrous, he’s got all the evidence and proof to back up the fact that fury cheated an he’s going to reveal it all in an interview and he claims that’s the reason he can’t come back to America

    Seems very unhinged to go off like he did.

    The Iowaska must be affecting him 🙄

    I think it was all set up, Simon Jordan said the fury topic was in the schedule and wilder has openly talked about it since 2018

    Calling racism when it was nothing to do with it and being a set up?

    Doubtful imo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    I think wilder was meant to kick off but being the complete idiot he is, he went straight to the racism topic, that is very popular with the podcasts he goes on in America and they gee him up for views

    I don’t think wilder realised that racism and slavery isn’t such a hot topic in the U.K.

    200k views for talk sport in 12 hours is good numbers

    Wardley v Dubois is a done deal for May 9th apparently and it’s to be announced tomorrow

    Who wins ?
    if Dubois boxes I think he gets the win but if he tries to blast him it’s anyone’s

    Fabio Wardley, granite jaw and knock out power. I don't think there's any doubt that Wardley wins by stoppage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭reclose


    interesting fight! I’d lean towards Dubois as he’s operated at a higher level but it’s by no means a certainty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,282 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Dubois getting another bite a the cherry. Hope Wardley spanks him. No way he deserves these shots after his quit jobs, and sickies!

    it’s a good defence for Wardley though and if he comes through it he will feel more deserving of the title much like Dubois when he beat Aj

    I would have preferred Wardley kabayel but I’m guessing this is easier to make when the two lads are Queensbury
