That's why I'm praying Fury wins. If the winner was going to fight Joshua next i'd still want Fury to win but I wouldn't be too bothered if he didn't. It's because i know a Wilder win inevitably means a fourth fight. I don't even want the third one ... No mas!gregregegg wrote: ↑24 Aug 2021, 04:15 Are people keen for this fight? I’m not I have it 2-0 and so this fight for me either means it goes 3-0 or 2-1 which dosent mean a lot (but officially 1-1-1) so we gotta see it again…
Keen for the card though, lots of fun heavyweight match ups.
If there was an endless sequence of their fights, The Big Dosser would turn crippled and would be forced to pull out of it in about 3 or 4 beatdowns.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑25 Aug 2021, 03:14 come on bruhs, let's just have endless fury-wilder fights. i mean even if fury wins again, wilders always just 1 punch away right![]()
I see it happening, at this point why not.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑26 Aug 2021, 20:46 Eddie Hearn has hinted about possessing insider knowledge suggesting that Fury-Wilder III won’t go ahead in October.
He made a similar prediction earlier on in the year when the original date for the bout fell through. And he was proven to be correct.
So it seems that Eddie is being unofficially kept in the loop.
Anyway, it’s getting to the point where enough is enough. The title is being held to ransom by Wilder and Fury.
Fury should be stripped of his tile, with Dillian Whyte elevated being officially regarded as the WBC world heavyweight champion.
If the Wilder-Fury III fight date in October is postponed again, then the WBC has to do something.
Because no one else in the WBC’s rankings would have received an opportunity to fight for the title for more than two years.
Whyte has recently threatened legal proceedings against the WBC if they keep him waiting any longer.
Dillian could end up becoming the 2021 equivalent of Graciano Rocchigiani, because his legal argument seems compelling enough that he might be entitled to damages that could force the WBC to go into liquidation.
And part of me hopes this happens.

He’s a top ref. And he told them in the locker rooms he was gonna give them both the chance.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 20:08so butthurtBandog wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 19:59Fury was KO'd int the first, if there was a competent ref.gregregegg wrote: ↑24 Aug 2021, 04:15 Are people keen for this fight?

Name one other bout where you have seen any ref kneel down next to a boxer and start shouting a count in his ear waiting for him to respond and open his eyes. I'll wait.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 03:50He’s a top ref. And he told them in the locker rooms he was gonna give them both the chance.
Plus, after Furt got up, he dominated that round.

So let me get this strait, your argument is that he got down close to take a look and determined he was ok enough to continue counting, then fury made the count, answered the questions, showed he had his legs, won the rest of the round, and that is your damming indictment of the decision to do so, and proof that the fight should of been stopped… great insight.Bandog wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 19:41Still waiting....Bandog wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 09:33Name one other bout where you have seen any ref kneel down next to a boxer and start shouting a count in his ear waiting for him to respond and open his eyes.

Because they’ve sold a shed loads of tickets that are due a last minute refund due to covid restrictions so the numbers for the casino, and reputational damage of an empty arena, don’t add up.gregregegg wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 19:24I see it happening, at this point why not.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑26 Aug 2021, 20:46 Eddie Hearn has hinted about possessing insider knowledge suggesting that Fury-Wilder III won’t go ahead in October.

But all i ask is if it is canceled/posponed keep the undercard as a non PPV stand alone event in October, thats what i want to see and if they shift it back again ill cry.
Look, I'm simply asking for a similar situation in the history of boxing, where after a 2nd kockdown where the guy hits his head on the mat, lays there motionless with eyes closed, and the ref kneels down beside him and starts counting, while the guy's eyes are still closed! Why is that so fuking hard to comprehend?gregregegg wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 20:41So let me get this strait, your argument is that he got down close to take a look and determined he was ok enough to continue counting, then fury made the count, answered the questions, showed he had his legs, won the rest of the round, and that is your damming indictment of the decision to do so, and proof that the fight should of been stopped… great insight.
No, just want fair and consistant refs.
