Glad I didn’t get up/stay up for it. 
 

From what I’ve read all I’ve seen is people moaning about something or other, surprisingly. 

 

I was up last night with really bad gastritis / acid reflux. 

 

I'd had no intention of watching it but when you're up at 5am and it's on and free you might as well take a peak. 

 

I found it very sad. It wasn't just a 58 year old man, it was a very ill and troubled one being used as a prop. 

 

B Hop boxed in to his 50s, fighting pretty elitle boxers, he showed his age obviously but he was still in immense shape. 

 

Tyson was done a long time ago, his brain was never great in his prime, it's not gotten healthier and he's been out for a long time on top of being old.

There’s always been interest in freak shows since Adam was a lad.

If I was up I would’ve had it on, but there was no way that I was staying up/setting an alarm for it.

Hard to have any sympathy or find it sad watching Tyson to be honest. Arsehole of a man. 

 

I mean there is that isn't there. Violent and unpleasant rapist.

Sports entertainment wrestling is huge in the States (and has its followers here). People are interested in the spectacle, less so the athletic merit.

This was the most talked about fight in a long time here in North America, even without it being a legitimate matchup.

 

The whole Klitschko, Fury, Joshua era just never seemed to get the attention that Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis got.

 

Maybe that's just boxing in general though.

Billam-Smith might get stopped on cuts here if he's not careful, needs a KO quick.

 

Ramirez is a tough bastard though.

Tyson was biting his glove throughout the fight, because he was told to not unload on an amateur, earn your 20 mill and bite the lip… you can see the difference of ability in the first round when a 58 year old tyson sent him to the ropes with a punch. Scripted Tyson hated it. 
 

I might do the same if I had his skill, and just doing nothing you get 20 mil while an idiot tries to hit you

****ing hell lol 

 

Buatsi Smith being at the bottom of the list says it all too! 

 

Not sure if this will be the absolute order but no way Dubois Parker should be chief support.

Riyadh season or whatever it’s called may have been going on forever, however it’s got some decent fights sorted. 
 

We’ll get a decent feeling for how good Kabayel is after this as well.

Tonight's card is looking very decent looking forward to this.

 

Lawrence okolie looks like someone that are Lawrence Okolie on the weigh in. Hopefully the last South American that Royston Barney smith has to fight today. Get the job done early and hopefully he moves onto bigger fights next year.

 

Pauls v Bentley should be a good tear up.

I’ve just sat down and watched Undisputed.

 

I’m so looking forward to UyskFury2. 
 

This time, they have a mutual respect for each other and we’ve not seen any of the circus of the last fight week; so far. 
 

Fury as a person, is different to Fury the entertainer. Paris would be happy if he never got back into the ring. 
 

The Uysk fairytale needs an ending however and I hope it’s this fight and then he can retire, as a proud Ukrainian. 
 

I’m calling an Uysk win.

A fully motivated Fury should beat anyone currently. Unfortunately for him this drifts from fight to fight. Usyk is so good though, always motivated, has the will of a war torn country behind his every move & word. I take Usyk again. I think !

I’ve come to the conclusion that both Usyk and Fury are taking the piss out of all of us.

 

I reckon they’re good mates. Both mad as hatters but getting paid millions by the Saudi’s for this ongoing circus.

 

My bet is a pre agreed Fury win this time around which sets up a ‘convenient’ third fight decider. 
 

I’m not usually this cynical but I’ve lost faith in boxing as a sport sadly.

Theyre just well aware that they don't need to pretend to hate each other for ratings. 

 

Very much doubt Usyk or Fury would have any interest in an agreement. 

 

All set for a good scrap, I hope Usyk does him again.

 

Buzzing to see how Itauma deals with McKean.

 

Good performance and win and he will be on track for some big fights in 2025.

Fury didn’t show enough respect in the first fight, he truly didn’t grasp just how difficult it was going to be. Now he has had the taste, hopefully the hunger is there to put on a better show because he was well beaten last time.
