Re: Next for Deontay Wilder ?

I'd be more shocked to see him back in a ring again at this rate.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin | DAZN - 1 April 2023

I don’t know about the forum, but I’m really looking forward to the Campbell Hatton fight against another non puncher. It’s amazing,, almost like they know how bad he is. :D :OhYes: I do find it amusing how they're sort of stuck trying to push him now even though we all know how bad he is. They'll ...

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin | DAZN - 1 April 2023

Random, unexciting fight for Wardley which should end in an early rounds stoppage. Good to see one of my faves Campbell Hatton back out too. A lethal body puncher (much like his father) going up against yet another dangerous top 800 fighter. A win here will surely push him into the top 300. The Kid ...

That is quite an exaggeration

Re: Joshua Buatsi Signs Deal with Boxxer / Sky

For once I actually feel bad for Hearn on this one. Buatsi just wants an easy route to a world title and will avoid all tough challengers. He's a waste of time.

Re: Jarrell Miller vs. Lucas Browne - March 18, 2023

Could be some big paydays for whoever wins this WBA international PEDs HW title fight.

My money's on Browne to land a massive overhand right in the early rounds.

Re: Johnny 'The Romford Bull' Fisher

They have done better with Hatton recently, another fighter with barely any am experience, and he was given too much exposure. Now he is going under the radar, building up a record against novices and let's see where he is in a couple of years. I heard Campbell Hatton on 5live the other day and tho...

He'd be a nightmare to promote. I'm no big fan of Hearn, but man it must be hard trying to promote Buatsi.

Re: Joseph Parker vs. Demsey McKean - Negotiations

A fight where Parker should dominate, but struggles almost every time he steps in the ring these days.

Parker in a close one, where he underperforms as usual.

Lets be honest we all would like to see that but there's no way FW will make that fight anytime soon. Might be a good thing not to make the fight so early after the Okolie Chamberlain shocker.

Re: Jack Catterall vs OharaDavies - 6th October

How is it a poor fight for Dubois? He's 20 and going into his 9th pro fight against a durable former world title challenger who just went 10 rounds and took a few rounds off Andy Ruiz in his last fight. Very good matchmaking if you ask me.

Re: Parker should retire

He shouldn't and won't retire, but it's gonna be a long road back for him. Where does he go from here? Back to fighting low level journeymen back here in NZ looks to be on the cards as he's virtually entered gatekeeper territory now.

Re: Dillian Whyte vs. Joseph Parker - 28 July 2018

I feel a hometown decision coming up here. Parker is better than Whyte in almost every department but he better dominate him like Usyk did last week or KO him otherwise I feel he'll be a certainty to lose on the cards. Whyte by an undeserved SD.

What’s up with Brook ?
Read somewhere that his ankle is no good and that it's likely he won't be fighting on this card.
