Round-by-Round: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte - 23 April 2022

[jimmystone]

94K people in Wembley Stadium are incredibly quiet!

Does it look like that many people are there?

I can’t tell for definite from the camera angles, but there’s a lot of bored people sat ringside.

72k were through the turnstiles about an hour ago. It will be full now. The dawning reality will be hitting home to the punters now. They will be crossing their fingers for some atmosphere. So too the PPV buyers. I feel ripped off and I've not paid.

[Enlightened-One]

Does anybody remember Tyson-Douglas where the massive crowd sat ringside were quieter than a library?

This feels eerily similar
.

[blanca]

Would help if these lads were not fighting 5 minute rounds...

x2. I've sent TalkSport a strongly worded email already.

You can be silent with anticipation... These fans are probably just napping right now.

[jimmystone]

Yank commentators barely mentioning this fight. They are too polite to say it is crap.

[Enlightened-One]

The music starts playing between rounds and the previously silent crowd suddenly roar!

[Tony1244]

Is it almost over? It sounds painful.

Bit of a laugh ay. Talk about literally anything, then once every round or 2 they will say "nice combo from ekow" then trail off talking about a fight 3o years ago or a flag or how to cook eggs... Anything but this fight.

10 out of 12.

[Kilburn]

3-1 Tetley for me.

How you scoring it now mate?

[Enlightened-One]

Images of the people sat ringside appear to be chatting to each other rather than watching the action inside the ring taking place only a few feet away.

[Dioufy]

I’m there and no one interested in this.
Should’ve been a womens co main

They could have put on well matched amateur schoolboys who would have whooped the crowd up more. I'm not joking. Every amateur show I have been to has been better. Like I say, the main event will save it.

[Tony1244]

Thanks. Just a few more minutes. Hang in there.

[bigjack]

I can't stay awake long enough to boo

If I was at this fight id be round the bar until main event. Last live event I went to and never saw any action until the main attraction was Hughie Fury v Parker, and I wish I had stayed around the arena bar area come main event

[jimmystone]

Don't think they'll have this done and dusted by curfew. Do they get fined if they don't?
