He didn't really want to be at that table, looked like something was on his brain and khurtsidze trainer just aggravated the life out of him and he bit lol.
He doesn't really want to box, does he? He wants to be in the pub or with his horses or banging some traveller groupie, but he knows that he has a winning lottery ticket in that belt and he needs to keep on training and fighting to cash it in. Guaranteed, once he's lost to GGG or Canelo, we'll never see him fight again. I can't stand him but he obviously enjoys his life. Fighting this little bloke only gets in the way of that, and it won't be a big payday either. It'll be a hard sell, like all his fights are. At least Langford would have brought some fans. BJS just isn't much liked and from what I saw having been to one of his shows the fans that follow him are a nasty bunch. I wouldn't bother buying a ticket to a BJS show: he'll either pull out or you'll get there and one of his cousins will be sitting in your seat swearing blind that it's his.
Pretty much this

Yeah agree. I really like him. Hope he bursts BJS but I doubt it. BJS will know he's been in a fight though.

I met Khurtsidze 18 months ago when I went to train in New York, in fact the lad I took with me did a couple of rounds sparring with him.
He's all business in the gym, no clowning around and looked real surly, yet he went steady with my lad, took no liberties at all, and made a point to come over and thank us and say bye when we were leaving.

Boxing needs characters, i loved watching him in the media last week, and he delivered in the fight too, hope BJS gets his arse in shape or he'll be getting banjoed by the midget too

This will exactly decide the outcome of this fight and I really doubt he can be bothered anymore .

It's almost as if someone has taken note of the Matchroom "these two really don't like each other" template.

Maybe a couple of acting lessons before the next iFilm "beef" wouldn't go amiss.

I know he's a bit of a hothead, but that all had the air of "let's drum up some publicity".

I'm calling it fake beef. Quorn, if you like.

Well it's worked on me. I had zero interest until I watched that press conference and now I like Khurtsidze and will tune in to watch it in the hope of seeing BJS lose.

I don't really think it was fake tbh. I think Bill looked narked about something to me and the presser just aggravated him :lol:

I like Khurtsidze, I said he's got a way about him where you just warm to him

But I think Bill will UD him quite comfortably

It is an interesting fight though :OhYes:

He's clearly upset that he's pretty much lost the Golovkin, and is being served up this instead. They paid Khurtsidze stand aside money so they could open up the path to a Golovkin fight, but now that looks as though it's fell through, he ain't got no more excuses. BJS doesn't strike me as the kind of person who enjoys doing things he don't want to.

I can't see the fight happening. It's only a couple of months away, why take Tyson? He is a terrible distraction and in horrendous shape.

He posted videos of himself looking almost ripped last time out then turned up like a fat soft slob at the weigh in.
