Any boxing fans on the forum?

Whyte v Povetkin in the Matchroom garden in August.

Neither looked great last time out.
It should be a good match up but I’m not particularly excited for it.

PPV, but I guess there's nothing else on.

The UFC is pretty active at the moment if people aren't getting their boxing fix.

Tyson & Roy Jones Jr

I reckon RJJ takes it

Same.

Roy Jones is still pretty fast on his feet, he can't be touched. Also, y'all must have forgot.

Shouldn’t be allowed IMHO.

Anyone seen what time the Whyte fight is due to start on Saturday? Or just the full card with times in general?

Whyte was overweight and barely trained for Wach. Should be different this time.
Povetkin is tough as old boots but is knocking on a bit.

Cheers.

Although he looked overweight, and I felt a bit sad to see him like that, I still thought he looked like as good a fighter - I've always really liked watching him.

Looking much better going into this: https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/747891/dillian-whyte-body-transformation-alexander-povektin/

I've never seen Whyte look like that.

I’m curious with all this free time who has rewatched the first Fury vs Wilder fight and still thinks it’s a draw.
I’ll put my big ole spoon away now

You mean he should never have been allowed to get up and fight on and therefore DW should have won?

I think the count is debatable but that aside I think my previously expressed position was pretty clear

crackstreams has a good stream

Ta. I'll go Povetkin KO for the old guard. :o

Bang.

Lovely feint and uppercut. Out on his feet.

Oof. I thought Dillian had that one. Good job I don't bet

Lol that Daniel Dubois fight was pointless - basically punched the guy around the ring for 2 rounds

Totally pointless, Dubois vs Joyce should be a good fight, highlight of the night was Tyson Furys suit.

Poor sod, I realise that early careers must be managed carefully and that he was a late sub, but fighters should sometimes be protected from their own bravery. At least the early Tyson mismatches were generally against fighters who were bigger than him. I understand that Dubois is being managed into the big league, however, I hope that the Joyce fight is more meaningful. There seems to be an enormous chasm between the top level and the up-and-coming hopefuls.

Yup I guess you can only fight what you’re asked to - I just wonder about the long term affects it has one someone and really what it does for the sport. As you both say Joyce fight should hopefully be a better watch!
