Boxing At The Weekend...

[gnasher16 31,908]

Ive been out the country a lot recently but while back here to sort a few things out got talked into going to this fight,i always said i wouldnt go to a stadium fight unless it was ringside and this is why ......we was in the front row of the lower tier but still found myself watching the screens i said to my pal its like going to the Royal Albert Hall to watch snooker i dont know how people do it up there in the Gods.....my ol peepers aint too clever these days so i wouldnt swear to it but i think Fury looked ok.....his style of fighting has never been too easy on the eye but fitness wise and movement etc i thought he looked as good as he ever did.....not much of an opponent and im not sure whats left in the sport for any of them Fury,Joshua or Wilder.....Benn looked ok.....bit much i thought having a stadium event for what really was 3 mediocre match ups and a British Tile fight they're starting to take the piss a bit now.....as for Fury's bollocks talk about filling out Tottenham Stadium....look up in the top tiers it was two thirds full at best.

Think no1 beats moses in heavyweight division as it stands except think usyk mite just be to clever for him at the moment but think if someone gives his chin a test and it holds up can't see him being beat for a long time but not that many good heavy weights come though now that's the problem same in ufc it isn't the golden division it used to be 

I always felt the early Mike Tyson era of the mid 80's was the worst in heavyweight history but i actually think todays era is even worse...... the average top 10 fighters of back then like Witherspoon,Page,Thomas etc were far superior fighters to todays average top 10 fighters like Makhmudov,Hergovic,Zhang etc

I cant wait to see the back of Fury/Joshua/Wilder and its a hard one to admit but i do think the division misses the American influence it had years ago.

I agree pal I think now the heavyweight division is lacking any real talent I can't see it getting back either for a few reasons one being all these off shoots like misfits etc the younger gen rather go watch a youtuber than a actual real fight. Also the draw now in the ufc and in boxing have been the more exciting fights at lower weights hopefully they will be some exciting new fighters coming threw behind moses from here and across the pond but its not looking promising. I'm just hoping that zupa or whatever its called Dana white doesn't kill it with the ufc type contracts

Eddie get in the ring wouldn't then  Joshua sat there trying to look mean then wouldn't say yes to the fight id say he wont take it 

And it wasnt a good performance off a fury 

You are naive as aresholes if you think multi million pound fights get made between fighters going eye to eye in the ring WWE style !......ive always thought Joshua carries himself quite well he's not going to play all that silly pantomime bollocks that Fury plays and i dont blame him.

I didn't mind Joshua, decent role model, til he started with the BLM stuff and only buys from black shops malarkey

After paul he called fury out then turns up there for a poor fight and it looked like fury al sheikh fella all expected them to.enter the ring after so did the fans its nothing to do with wwe it happens at most big fights if both want it ?

I just think the whole dynamic of the sport is changing and not for the better......there was always an element of " entertainment " involved in top level boxing but now the " entertainment " is starting to be the main attraction.....if they was to put as much thought and effort into the actual match ups as they do with all the light shows,fireworks and walk on music we wouldnt be sitting here wondering why we've paid all that money to see a bunch of bang average fights.......and yes you are right this whole Misfits and Youtuber stuff has taken a lot of the competitiveness out of the sport and again,replaced it with " entertainment "........id say the sport in its purest form is in a really bad place at the moment.

From what i know and have been told about the lad he's a fairly straight shooter.....knows where he came from etc

Without making excuses for him i know he was and probably still is under huge pressure from the black community in a general  " dont be like Frank Bruno " kind of way.....bit of a shame for the lad really as again,he was always a pretty down to earth,normal everyday street kid....but a bit of a people pleaser as well.
