Barry Hearn… bless him… said 8-4 Usyk and even though Josh is like family he didn’t win that fight.

Bunce’s ball licking skills need work tbh.
Bunce, Davies and Oliver are all yes men, they know they will be replaced with the woke of they arent
'Woke' fckin hell how old are you? 🤣🤣 They just want company yes men, nothing to do with wanting someone interested in social justice and equality fer fcks sake 🤣🤣
Oliver is his mate. He was even in an infamous WhatsApp group with everyone offering AJ opinions on tactics.
The GAD is a staunch Fury man.

lol, what has he become? well, that's a rhetorical question, we all know what he has become.
david diamante basically called Bunce an idiot on BBC...

my god. shall we just say, for Bunce, emotions were running high? god what a shill. what a shamelesss toady and lickspittle. he's like that parent that says his kid's done nothing wrong even as they have half-destroyed the toy shop they are in ('that's just high spirits/ emotions running high/ understandable reaction to a challenging situation')

You're an enabler, Steve. You're just the kind of person whose constant stream of bullsh1t positivity and smoke-blowing ruined any sense of perspective that Joshua had- because he could (and CAN) even do things like grab the microphone and deliver an embarrassing unscripted rant, live on air to millions of viewers, and still- STILL- he will have the likes of Buncey running interference for him and reeling out a shopping-list of excuses, on cue. probably somewhere in Joshua's camp there is a bro, right now, telling AJ that he, I don't know, told truth to the world, said it like it is, 'you spoke from the heart bro it's all good yeah'.

Steve- it's Eddie's job, he's literally paid to do that. He's literally paid to pretend that what comes out of his star athletes arses is fragrant, fresh and inoffensive. What's your excuse?

did Timmy just lose an SD in a close fight against the p4p number one?

If so, Timmy gets a pass on anything short of actually murdering a grandmother. you have to understand, his emotions were raw. he trains really hard and makes a lot of sacrifices, so it's understandable that he might need an outlet now and then.

He's the sort of person - one of the few - Joshua should listen to and keep close. Bunce is a disgrace. For a man so knowledgeable about the sport, and he is, he just can't stop himself kissing the arse of any man he thinks might benefit him.

This always makes me laugh. What sacrifices does he actually make? No McDonald's, training 5 days a week and stay in a plush apartment in Sheffield for 8 short weeks of training camp while earning £10mil

It's hardly living in oil rigs away from family off the coast of Scotland for 6 months at a time is it

I'd swap lives lol

The main sacrifice these superstars make is their privacy. The training and actual doing is insignificant in isolation, it's the spotlight. I knew I'd not be able to handle that and jacked boxing at 21. I might have ended up being rubbish but I knew that even a short undefeated run at a low level would have been too much intrusion into what is most important to me i.e. my own space and time. At Joshua's level the goldfish bowl feeling must be crazy, particularly now with social media obligations and everybody having a camera phone in your face. I'd genuinely not take his money if I had to have his lifestyle with it.

you know I'm being ironic, right? Timmy doesn't really get a pass on only-crippling-but-not-murdering the grandmother.

I heard that his head didn't come clean off.

With staples and a bone fusion it was ok, if it had come clean off he would have been in hospital for the whole weekend.

I just saw it, impressed by Frazer. I said this on another post, I’d be surprised if anyone around AJ has told him he’s wrong for a decade. It’s a good lad who will do that when so many won’t.

Spencer Oliver called a “poison w***er” for “a** kissing” Anthony Joshua

Oliver told Joshua: “You outboxed the best f***ing boxer in the world for rounds. You beat him [Usyk] at his own game. Your game plan was perfect.”

“He nicked it just at the end. That fight until ten was dead level. You were outboxing the best boxer in the world.

“Your stock rose, mate. You come out of that with victory. If there were any doubters out there, there are none now. There’s none now.

“Straight back in the gym,”
he added.

The pair continued their back and forth, with Joshua saying: “I don’t want to cloud the fight after it. That’s the passion.”

Oliver replied: “That’s emotion. I said that. You didn’t come up short.”

“Mate, that was a split decision, and there are massive fights out there for you.”


-----------------
The response from two professionals in the sport who witnessed the clip, one of which is a Hall of Fame promoter, was matched by many fans.

“No, he didn’t. This is just a** kissing dishonesty. Not fair to boxing, Usyk, or the truth,” said Lou DiBella.

“Not fair to Joshua, who needs the people around him to ground him in reality. How about “You fought a good fight, gave everything you had, and we’re proud of you. You were outboxed by [Usyk]?”

Fed poison to Anthony Joshua

Tureano Johnson, a former middleweight contender who never holds back, gave Oliver a dressing down.

“So true,” he agreed with DiBella. “What that w***er was saying is poison. A fighter needs the truth, not some lunatic delusional pat me up kind of talk.

“To improve, you must accept defeat and know where you went wrong. Then work on it. And why did he box a boxer?

“Do what Anthony Joshua does, not what Usyk does.”

jesus, poison wanker is good description

Spencer, you're like the bloke shoving cake down a fat bird's throat. At what point does a lickspittle enabler realise they're doing more harm than good? can they ever reach that point, if they are as craven, stupid, and desperate as Oliver?

The likes of Oliver, Bunce etc need replacing, they are the in-house bootlickers. You need pundits and commentators who say it how it is.

Colin Hart used to ruffle a few feathers, apart from when it came to his bias in favour of SRL. Malignaggi also used to not hold back in criticisms.

The 'new breed' of voices and faces of boxing are all smoke blowers too, afraid of not getting invites.
Have voice and honest opinions get frozen out and belittled. Lots of 40 year olds in mummys spare room type jibes.
