Buffer is good for nothing. Dnuh how he still gets gigs. Used to like him, but he’s waaaay past his sell date

surprised kov is the underdog despite his opponent being pretty much unknown, mind you i think there's a good chance serg is ko'd but i woulda expect him to be fave based on his name

I think Furys legacy is on the line. If he gets taken to school here then he is going to go down as a fraud. I sure do hope it happens but I'm not convinced Usyk can do it. Usyk also gets close cards even in fights he seems to win clearly. I don't have a prediction I feel strongly about here. I'll be watching and cheering Usyk on like everyone else.

Tough fight to pick.

Almost any result is imaginable.

I'll go Usyk on points.

Yeah someone should really put Buffer out to pasture

Kathy Duva is Kovalev's promoter i think, i heard Dan Rafael say on his podcast a few weeks ago that Main Events is pretty much on its last legs.

I can't think of a potentially less exciting fight that's ever been as intriguing as this. Almost the complete opposite of Zhang-Wilder.

She was on Tris Dixons pod, a very impressive woman. Been through a lot of shit in her time in the sport.

I dont get the whole "furys a fraud" mentality that seems to do the rounds. I understand him maybe not being as good as some people thought but his achievements aren't fraudulent. He didn't "fraudulently" get off the canvas vs wilder, or tuck wlad up away from home, or uppercut whyte into next week etc.

Don't think anyone really believes Fury is a fraud , he's don whats ben needed and beat who's in front of him , its just that he's handpicked and cheated the rest of the time , Boars meat , dud opponent after dud opponent , cancelling fights , yet all the time screaming he's a gift from god with his idiot father in the background making an Ass out of himself and FURY THINKS ITS FUNNY , HE'S NOT A FRAUD JUST A DICK

He did seem pissed off as soon as he saw the blood on Big John's face. Tyson looked shocked then immediately cheesed off before giving it 'how've you done that you silly cu nt?' He wasn't impressed.

I'm still going for a NC.

I might stick a fiver on Fan-man 2 to appear and interrupt the fight.

Promoter: Buffer you set, it's one job so nothing can go wrong right?
Buffer: Sure man, I've got this, it's so easy, I've done this a million times
Weight announcer: Usyk 223
Buffer: Usyk 233

Mad thing is, he has a job you really don’t have to be in prime condition for. He’s now so old he doesn’t really have a voice and can’t say words. Let him out to stud

I’ve got money on DQ either way. If I’m wrong at least I’ve watched a better fight.

Fury is practically guaranteed to target the ballix, solid gameplan from the storied Kronk school of the sweet science

Maybe he has a contact to do so many big fights so they have to use him?

I know he doesn’t do undercards etc normally. To have him at a weigh in is very unusual surely? I haven’t heard him give an interview in a while, I honestly hope he’s doing good. That Saudi money gonna get everyone killed

Either it was a misprint or he read it out wrong. Either way, mistakes happen, give the guy a break.

He earns more money than most fighters, not a bad gig for a few minutes 'work'

Yes, but he’s not that good at it any more, that’s all. No disrespect to your man.

Got my £20 on Usyk for the stoppage with a £110 return. Planning on buying some nice snorkelling gear for my summer holiday! lol

He's not what he was, but following all the hype and the ring walks, the 'LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLE' is the cherry on top of the icing for me. It still add that little extra that none of the others do.
