Pulev Ustinov about to start apparently.

Ronald MacDonald is soooooooooooooooooooooo bad it's embarassing.

He can't get through a short sentence without stuttering / mispronouncing / slipping over his words.

He also keeps interrupting Lillis at inappropriate times (trying to finish his sentences) and with his huge tongue his voice is not that clear; like a man talking through a mouthful of porridge.

How did this guy EVER get a job on TV. He's the worst presenter on TV... like some odd Avid MErrion character

It's Ronald Mcintosh not McDonald! Even Rawling made that faux pas

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Povetkin will beat both of the Klitschkos.

And i'll say it, no he won't

Pulev looks like he could be a top boxer, but there is sometimes something lacking in his work.

I know I sound like a crazy person mate. I also think Fury will be a world champion.

Now i might lean towards that one, as long as he is not matched with a puncher for the title, and the Klitschkos have retired.

How would you see Povetkin-Fury and Povetkin-Haye, Ian?

If Povetkin comes in out of shape then Haye would KO him inside 5 rounds. If Povetkin gets himself into top shape, then he woulkd pose Haye problems, but i don't think Povetkin has it in him to do the hard work in the gym.
I still think he would be too much for Fury, a bit to allround a boxer and win on points, or stoppage if he's in shape.

I do like Fury, he's never in a bad fight and brings entertainment to the show. If matched right he could win a title, If the Haye v Vitali fight doesn't happen then maybe Fury will get a shot. I can't see him beating either of the Klitschkos, in fact i think Wlad would get him out early , Vitali would get a late stoppage

I agree with everything you said mate. I think Povetkin would get in shape for Haye or the Klitschkos and if he did, he would stop Haye.

I wouldn't be in a rush to match Fury with Pulev either, the Bulgarian is looking a good boxer

He looked really sharp tonight I thought. His concentration was very good.

I think Ronald is doing ok so far, nice to see Julius Francis giving his comments, and he comes over well on the TV. Now all i need is Lillis to go away

Yes! Lillis is absolutely useless:
He said Ustinov was "young" earlier and has now called Wilder a top emerging Heavyweight...eurgh...

I think we see Lillis for what he is tonight, when he's not got the other one with him.

He is.

Pulev is a beast. He'd KO Povetkin, who's just a joke and doesn't want to fight anyone. I think he'd deal with the Klitschko goons.

Good God, how painful is it listening to Steve Lillis? The man is so inarticulate and coarse, it's painful listening to him stumble through his sentences. He makes Big Ron sound smooth and musical to the ears.

He is.

In what regards? He's fought no one to say how good he is. He's certainly not up there the likes of Fury, Price, Pulev, Bryant or Mitchell heck I'm not even sure he's much further on than Pianeta, Moddugno, Dinu or Ruiz Jr. In fact I'd say that Fujimoto has achieved more as a professional already.

He has fought no one because he is being brought along slowly, just like Frank Bruno.

Deontay Wilder's record is indefensible - the stuff of Vaughn Bean and Malik Scott. There is no comparison with Frank Bruno or any world class heavyweight. He also looks awful in his fights. The guy is an LKO1 in waiting.

Bruno's 14th fight-Eddie Neilson
Wilders' 14th fight-Dan Sheehan

Bruno's 15th fight-Scott LeDoux
Wilders' 15th fight-DeAndrey Abron

Bruno's 19th fight-Jumbo Cummings
Wilders' 19th fight-Daniel Cota

Bruno's 25th fight-Philipp Brown
Wilders' 25th fight-Damon McCreary

Not even comparable.

There is no comparison between Wilder and Bruno. Anyone doing so is desperately clutching at straws, probably trying to validate some ridiculous claim they made earlier in the thread.

Bullshit. After twenty fights, Bruno was still fighting Juan Antonio Figueroa. Frank's opponents coming up were a joke. If you don't know the stories, google the name Johnny Bos and come back when you know what you're talking about.

One guy not getting mentioned much is Magomed Abdusalamov 14 wins 14 KO's just beat McCline in 2 rounds, but got decked in the 1st. Anyone rate him?

Martin Granger earns his money tonight, hard nights work for him there.
