Well no. AJ vs Paul brought Netflix to UK boxing.

Paul was doing Netflix first, then Turki only done it last year with Bud-Canelo.

So don’t know how you got that conclusion.

You should probably thank Jake Paul

I thought the first Usyk fight was 6-6 with the knockdown being the difference.

Yes

No - Usyk won both fights clear. I had both 9 - 3 upon second viewing and score the fight the same way each time. I can see fight one as 7-5 maximum for Usyk being the kindest I can be for Fury.

I can see a 7-5 Usyk. I say 6-6. Either one works.

Anything other than that is nonsense, Stu.

Is it regular Netflix over there or an extra fee?

Tyson Fury opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov, will do more than 'just show up'

Arslanbek Makhmudov’s promoter Camille Estephan, has said his fighter is not going to England to face Tyson Fury to make up the numbers.

Fury announced his return today following a year away from the ring after consecutive decision losses to Ukrainian hero Oleksandr Usyk and he will fight in England, on Netflix, against Montreal-based Russian-born Makhmudov, who has registered 21 wins against two losses with 19 stoppage wins.

His last fight was in Sheffield, England, where he outscored Dave Allen over 12 rounds, in October.

Makhmudov, who is trained by the respected Marc Ramsay, and Fury will meet on April 11, on a Ring presented show, and Estephan said: “We’re not going to England just to show up. We’re going there to do everything possible to seize this opportunity.”

Makhmudov’s two losses both came inside the distance, to Italian Guido Vianello – who has sparred plenty of past rounds with Fury – and the formidable Agit Kabayel.

“I am thrilled about the opportunity,” said Makhmudov, who is 6ft 5 1/2ins to Fury’s 6ft 9ins. “I’m coming to deliver a War. Tyson Fury has been a big champion. I will be more ready than ever to leave with a massive W.”

Morecambe’s Fury, 37, is 34-2-1 (24 KOs) and he’s scored wins over Deontay Wilder, Wladimr Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, and Derek Chisorsa in his 18-year-career. Before the two Usyk fights, he was dropped but outpointed boxing debutant Francis Ngannou.

Still was on Netflix in the UK.

That's actually a better comeback fight than I was expecting. I thought he'd be fighting some complete and utter scrub

It's a solid fight and a breakthrough in broadcasting. Netflix have only bothered with male novelty fights. His series on there obviously gave them the appetite for it.

Wasn't Canelo v Crawford on Netflix?

No, please don't tell me you view that as a 'male novelty fight'?

So who is promoting? I thought F W tied up with DAZN and you'd think they'd want it on their PPV to shift some subscriptions

It wasn't over here mate. To avoid further doubt, he has brought big time boxing on Netflix TO the UK. Thanks, lads.

Fwank is pushing it on the socials. Turki will have sorted it.

Sorry Mickey, I thought it was on Netflix worldwide. My mistake, mate.

Anything other than that is nonsense, Stu.

Which rounds did you give Fury? I think more people think 8-4 than 6-6.

Assume you went 1,2,3 and 8,9,10 as the Usyk rounds? Surely there is a case for 11 and 12 making it 8 without it being "nonsense" and then if you add Round 7 which many scored for Usyk - that's the 9 I had for Usyk.

4,5,6 are definite Fury rounds - can make a case for 12 and at a push 7.

I honestly can't remember Stu. Let's just say I scored it the same as Mike Fitzgerald.

It was 6 rounds to Usyk, 5 for Fury & one which I felt could have gone either way but I learnt Fury.

So as I said, 6-6 or 7-5 plus the knockdown.

And I remember at the time that was the common consensus. Since then people are doing a bit of fudging so they can say they were always Team Usyk (not having a pop at you)

fury lost both usyk fights anyway, seems a boring argument given that we dont even have a controversial decision to debate

anyway, if fury has anything left he should have far too much for big mak, but you never know with fury. if hes not got it for this one big mak is a huge lump who can bang and it could get interesting.

There wasn't much in 1-3. And I thought Usyk won.

Good point that.
Has there been a fall out?
Either way fed up of this retire for attention attitude to boxing.
If you say you are going to do something bloody do it.

Somewhat brave to choose to face a puncher like Makhmudov but he is flawed and unless Fury is not prepared, he should win comfortably.

No worries, we will agree to disagree I think most had Usyk pretty clear (like talksport). But yeah I think my 9-3 is the harshest for Fury, but that’s how I have it.

I feel like 7 rounds to 5 for Usyk in both Fury bouts feels about right, he just won the 1st one a little more emphatically with the knockdown which could've easily been a stoppage.

As for Fury vs Makhmudov. I figure we're looking at a Fury Unanimous Decision victory. He'll lose the first few rounds with inactivity. He'll start winning more and more comfortably from the 3rd round on. He'll get cocky, and start clowning around late in the fight, and he'll get rocked by the Makh, but he'll recover and win the remaining rounds after that happens, and win a Unanimous Decision after surviving a scare and people will say "Yeah Fury is back, but he was looking slower than he used to look" and they'll be right.

You say that, but Makhumdov ! Really...!?

He is (imo) exactly the sort of guy that hangs from the side of his best friend's ride.., trying to holler at ME.
Total buster I reckon, wouldn't want his number and won't give him mine...
