Heavyweight Boxing

I find it very hard to score these awkward fights especially with this clash in styles but my take on it ,only round i was sure of was 1 was Rico , 2 have seen it given both ways but it was a scrappy affair. Usyk in general and I've thought this for the last few fights is definitely showing age catching him but still has an unreal engine , he worked for this moved a lot but did leave himself in the firing line also a lot! i think it was probably right call to finish it ,he was gone I thought from the knockdown , I hate the trying to buy a bit of time but understandable as well ,the guy gave it socks !It was a Beaut of an uppercut.

in general he may not of taken the training as hard or serious ,i know he does his dancing etc through all camps but he just seemed at a more relaxed pace through this

Exactly…something I said…so many want to see the monstrous upset and when the clear clear underdog seems to be doing very well, all they look at is him, and all they listen to is the commentary praising him….it's a innate bias. Lot of the work Rico was doing was of the mugging variety really; Usyk was the real boxer with far more clean work

Alex krassyuk said he thinks Usyk needs to retire now and pointed out his last two fights have been heavy footed compared to his fast footwork that’s got him to where he is today and is putting this down to age

Spencer brown and fury said the same last week

Itouma should be against hrgovic once he’s got the all clear from the doctors

Beyond depressing? Cmon now.

He’s hardly a child who was led astray by a bogus crypto investment. Orchestrator of his own downfall. Gone broke trying to look rich.

I knew he was rich, he knew he was rich but he went broke trying to “look” rich. The entourage at all times must have been costing him a small fortune. Jets, custom jewellery, cars……

MC Hammer springs to mind.

How broke is he, though….I always felt that of all the athletes, never mind boxers, nobody seemed to be as vulgarly obsessed with cash as Floyd, and that he always came across as quite shrewd, albeit a flagrant type spender as well. I don't doubt that has has lost a lot, and owes a lot, but I'd say he also still has a lot. Maybe more case of a huge loss of money as opposed to him being any way close to actual cash debt.

maybe Fury wants to pretend to be Irish again.

frank Warren said it won’t be Ruiz

Warren and Spencer brown said they ideally want someone tall and with good reach to replicate Aj, it did cross my mind that it could be Rico but with the family fall out and the risk involved I can’t see it

Three names I think are in with a shout

Solomon dacres

David Adaleye

Clarke

Nice

What's craic with AJ-Fury? Has a date-venue been agreed and we are hoping both win their next bouts? Not certain Fury will have another bout first

Maybe Joe Joyce for one more pay day?

joe will smash Dave youd have thought
