The public can be fooled, but not all the time. People see through it. That's why Conor McGregor is so popular. That's why Fury is genuinely respected by the man in the street. I haven't heard a standard man in the pub hate on Fury. They find him amusing and honest.
Damn right. We would have been a poorer sport had Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Frank Bruno and Naseem Hamed been lobotomised by PR advisors. Without Tyson Fury speaking his mind we would be left with a drab monochrome hell of Joshua and Anthony Ogodno trotting out their slightly garbled media friendly soundbytes.

Thanks. And yes I agree. I don't want to hear their PR company speak though their mouth, I want their character

very close!! I just got an absolute mental blank on Barroso's name as soon as I said "Venezuala" & had to fish my cards out my pocket. Obviously they then had to be upside down!!
Cheers for pointing it out mate
Billy Nelson was straight on the text slagging me off
Next time, just take a leaf out of John McDonnell's book and say....... "From Venezuela......! Wraarrrghhhh Raaaaaaghhhh!"
Only saw that for the first time a few weeks ago and I nearly pissed myself

He had a good old chat with Adam about round 10 - Adam gave the 10th thought the opponent won it, but Smith was adamant that he didn't.... then all of a sudden the show Paul Smith's card - and he gave the opponent the 10th - and basically said he did it a the opponent had been game throughout. Talk about a cop out - even Adam Smith noticed it as it was the round they discussed and Paul said "no, Paulie won the round" just 4 minutes before.
Sky ballzed up Watt's card during the Joshua fight too,Jim had given Whyte 2 rounds(as did i) but Sky only showed Jim giving him 1,this was about halfway through so Sky were probably worried Whyte was still in it so tried to get the "AJ was robbed" theory in just incase it went to the cards,
Yeah, they edited it and Watt's speech saying about the error in the repeat showings.

I thought McDonald had that under copywrite like Buffer(rumble) and Lennon Jr(showtime)

And let's be clear - Joshua may be rolling out the correct lines, but i would bet my life he's smashing the PEDs, a sickening advantage in a life threatening sport.
Oh little doubt about that fella.
I am great friends with the amateur and professional world drug free bodybuilding champions and two months ago was working backstage in Atlantic City with the British Drug Free bodybuilding team and no one is putting on the 16 lean pounds he has put on in the last two years, plus the what - 12lb he put on after winning the Olympics and turning pro.
Trust me, that does not happen naturally, not even with the best genetic and talented bodybuilders on the planet. They put on maybe 1lb per year, if that and it hits a ceiling where no more can be added pretty fast.
I thought testing was pretty strict in boxing?
As far as I am aware, they only do post fight urine testing, which in this day and age is akin to giving people carte blanche to do as they please. You'd have to be a dipshit to get caught by post fight uranalysis.

Suspicions of Brunoesque chin and stamina are still there for me but fights like tonight should build both.
I would make Hughie Fury favorite against him.
Hughie Fury?? Come on, no way would he be favourite against Joshua.
l
Not the bookies favorite, the bookies think Joshua would beat Tyson!
I think Hughie will win, Hughie is a class act.
