standouts of furys career, thus far - - what was a very good, career high win over klitschko, until it was discovered he was on the gear - 2 wins and a draw against wilder, a fighter who, himself, doesnt have a single notable win on his entire record - got beaten up and floored by a zero fight novic...

Dubby was 17/5 when I stuck a fiver on him.

Right. 9/2 was best price. What was the Dubois stoppage line though? Maybe Tarquin bet on stoppage?

A stoppage in rd 5 was 33/1

i bet £2 on dubois in the 5th at 40/1 at william hill

khelif did it and won the gold, and is rubbing it in on the critics. man/woman/whatever, they got some swag for sure. tbh all the early outrage has made them into a huge star and they look to be enjoying it also, all 3 opponents after the italian went the distance. italian such a heartless quitter ...

Yep, exactly that. Biological men have no place in facing biological women in professional sports, especially contact or combat sports, but this is not one of those scenarios. It's a biological woman with a disorder which gives her a natural advantage, not an unnatural one which would be cheating. ...

the belts nothing more than a marketing tool, everyone knows who the champion is. usyk getting a bit of a dig in, degrading the ibf strap by literally stating he's gifting it to the aj v ddd winner, tells you how meaningless it is.

always the case - if a fighter reacts to a landed punch, even if its with apparent disdain, it means the punch registered. whenever a boxer feels the need to go out of their way, to make sure everyone knows that a shot didnt bother them, it certainly bothered them. any experienced pro would only be ...

More than enough reason for Fury to carry confidence into the rematch, especially if he manages to be fitter than last time. Up until he got thumped on the nose, he was doing pretty damn well. he got blasted in the 9th round, survived ( albeit with the help of the ref ), and was fighting back throu...

excellent post. Agree. Also think Fury could surprise us all, he's done it many times. Against who though Sean? Old Wlad and Wilder have been his best wins. Uysk would have beaten both. Whyte was shot, Chisora was a cash grab. Its a slim resume. Wlad might have been old but he was a loooooong undef...

historically, ive got lewis at 9th, usyk around 15th. That's quite surprising, who have you got above Lewis? I certainly can't think of more than 3-4 heavyweight champs I could rate higher. Ali, Louis, Holmes Foreman, (mainly because of what foreman managed to achieve 2nd time around on top of his ...

historically, ive got lewis at 9th, usyk around 15th.

its a contentious issue. the rule applied literally, you could argue that the ref should have given a count even earlier than he did, with fury pinballing off the ropes as he was. when fury fell into the corner turnbuckle, he was already sliding along the ropes, using them to support his weight, you...

the hostility, aggression, the constant need to prove that he's a "real fighting man" - textbook inferiority complex. an immature, insecure, coward.

I still think something bizarre is going to happen and the fight is a NC or draw. It's like everyone is getting excited now as the day draws closer, but I just cannot for the devil in me see a boxing match without controversy. im having a £5 on the draw at 14/1. if i were a more cynical man, i coul...

plenty of local pubs showing in my area, rather go and invest that £25 in five pints and watch there

i cant see fury intentionally doing an akinwande. even if usyk boxes furys head off all night long, tyson knows full well that the powers that be are all in on fury v joshua, he'll drag himself through to the final bell even if he loses every round, knowing theres a good chance he'll get the SD or d...

usyk is a level above fury, in every regard. as others have noted, furys prospects rest on the bias of the ref. if tyson can get away with draping his bulk over the smaller man all night, then its not only usyk that will be in for a tough night, but the fans as well, as it will make for an awful spe...

id say he's past his prime ( whenever that was ), but its inconsequential. parker would have dominated wilder at any point of his career, and zhang knocks out any version of wilder he could have gotten in the ring with. wilder is just a poor boxer, always has been, enormously overrated, without a si...

im seeing far more articles on social media about fury v joshua, than im seeing about fury v usyk. reckon the ukrainian needs to be very worried about those judges.

desperately needs a cash-out fight, but not a big enough name to land one, and not good enough to earn one.

opinion of joshua is exactly the same, did what any half decent heavyweight should have done against a clueless, stationary target. as for fury, i considered him to be vastly overrated long before he boxed the cage fighter, his stock has plummeted since then. he struggled to a SD win against, got be...

reckon this will play out exactly as we all thought the fury fight would. much as ngannou deserves respect for well exceeding everyones expectations last time out, i do think the planets aligned for him against fury. tyson was beyond awful, totally out of shape, over confident, no strategy, and seem...

highlights of furys career - a very good win over klitschko and a decent win over wilder, who himself doesnt have a single standout win on his record. if fury retired today, bottom of the top 30. if he goes on to beat usyk, top 25. a win over joshua at this point is relatively meaningless, legacy wi...

peter mcneeley. would be totally unheard of if not for the tyson ko, and his "cocoon of horror" silliness

i think this guy found his level. was utterly clueless in the warburton 4 rounder, you'd have thought georgie was the guy with the 50 loss record who was brought in to lose, not the other way round

guy thinks he's entitled to easy paydays
