    How was the atmosphere? Sounded good on TV. Went to Froch vs Groves which was decent but Saturday seemed another level but as a spectacle it wasn't great as we just watched the big screen the entire time pretty much didn't even glance over at the ring.     

    Maybe someone on here knows but I can't fathom how Joshua was already IBF champion fighting Klitschko who lost all his belts vs Fury and hasn't fought since but Joshua now seems to be WBA champion as well. How's that happen?

    Incredible atmosphere - much better than England games. 95% of the crowd where behind AJ so made real noise in the 5th / 11th. Had quite decent seats because we had the ring and big screens both in eyeline. Essentially unless you are front of the lower tier, everyone is watching the screens - so its like watching sky sports, with atmosphere. Still, biggest fight in UK history, i'd have been happy to go without the screens.

  2. Just got back. What a fight!

    Get AJ vs Wilder while Fury has a warm up fight and gets back to weight. Then Bellew vs Parker - on the promise that when Bellew wins (Parker is a joke - one of the least qualified world champions ever, he's basically admitted he knows that and wants to cash it in) he retires and leaves a belt vacant. 

    Then AJ vs Fury for all the belts at the start of next year.

    Speaking of players, what has happened to Gallagher? Id say he just wants to get back to Southampton asap. 

    All well and good signing loan players if they are playing and in a successful team, but when push comes to shove, it's backs against the wall... they're useless, because they know it makes no odds to them come the end of the season. They aren't committed.

    Can't argue with too much of that. Fancy Fury against Wilder and Parker, but think the Joshua fight could go either way.

    Still convinced Fury beats any heavyweight around, pretty easily. 

    Parker isn't elite level and only has a belt because Fury gave up so many titles - it wouldn't surprise me if Hughie goes over there and wins now his Dad is allowed in the country. Will be a rough crowd, as long as he doesn't let it go to points he will come back a world champ for me. 
    Wilder has all the attributes but is being managed away from the top fights for some reason by his team. As above, his last 9 fights aren't the type of fights that make a champion.

    At the time I was happy Tyson did manage to take the belts off Klit (he was holding too many hostage over in Germany), but looking back now it has meant that people who aren't at the elite level have ended up with belts.

    Crolla talking about moving up in weight to have a pop at Burns.

    Haye thinks he will be fit to fight again come November.

    The two Liams have an interesting looking fight coming up.

    Congrats to Sal Yufei at the lower weights.

    Looking forward to Box Nation / BT kicking in with some decent fights over the next few months.

     

     

    Crolla has very little option unfortunately, Linares tactically beat him the first time (although it was close) and tactically demolished him the second time. Great fighter, lots of heart, top person but not quite on the elite level Linares is - not that many are. Going up against Burns gives him a big English fight, Danny Garcia next for Linares in a real blockbuster Vegas night. 

    Haye's a waster, a talker. Good fighter way back then but even if he is ready for November, he won't be sensible and take a warm up fight - he'll end up being battered by Fury on his way back.

  6. If Fury can be arsed he's the best heavy weight for a long time. He's big, agile, can take a punch and can give one. Theres a reason Haye, Chisora and Klitchko dodged him for so long. The best version of Tyson clears up the entire division in 12 months. The worst version of Tyson is off his nut on coke, depressed and 30 stone.
