    Talks of Zhang-Bakole. Helluva fight. Think Zhang knocks him out but if it goes a few rounds...

    Well, it's also styles make fights, isn't it? Miller has an exceptionally good chin and can withstand being counterpunched the entire night, and a (probably PED supplemented) excellent gas tank. Unless you have elite power like AJ or Wilder or Zhang, he will continue walking forward on you. So...

    easy to predict that in hindsight. Bakole would get knocked out by someone like Zhang or AJ, but would cause other guys big problems. Could do what Joyce did to Parker. a fight with Kabayel would be interesting.

    That was about the stupidest game plan I have ever seen in a fight. All Joyce needed to do is use his ****ing jab which Chisora had no answer for. Instead he continues to plow into him eating the same overhand right that has hit him through his entire career. Also, why was this a 10 round...

    Amazing win for Liam Paro over the heavily avoided Subriel Matias. Australian boxing in outstanding shape right now.

    I just watched a fixed fight. Gvosdyk was basically treating the fight like light sparring. Incredibly obvious to see. Can't trust anything the PBC puts on these days.

    I don't know what the odds are vut I would out a bit of money on Gvosdyk to beat Beterbiev tomorrow

    Bad management but also gotta blame the fighter himself. Has looked totally uninterested. But also totally naive. Still fighting like it's the amateurs, has no idea what to do in the clinch. We saw Usyk planning for Fury's clinch game to the point where he was actually outwrestling him...

    Would prefer: Zhang vs AJ Kabayel vs either Dubois or Parker. Would make for more interesting style match ups IMO.

    Yup. Steel sharpens steel. Making fights eith the likes of Kash Ali is not going to bode well for fighting someone real. Partially not his fault as he was certainly avoided...but also once he had that interim title he could have made some proper fights. OTOH Joyce's reward for taking tough...

    Thought that stoppage for Bivol over zinad was a bit early. Think Zinad would beat most of the overrated UK lightheavyweights.

    Boxing thread

    To be fair, the moment he was held up by the ropes that's a knockdown so the referee is within his rights to step in there. But if he's going to say that, then he should have stepped in the other 3 earlier times Tyson was held up by the ropes, given him a count then (NOT a prolonged count) and...

    It's likely that the IBF will strip him but it's completely irrelevant now that he's undisputed. He could drop every belt if he wanted to, we all know who the best heavyweight and frankly the best pound for pound fighter is. That is why the sanctioning bodies hate making undisputed fights - it...

    Hrgovic is still there and a win over Wilder or Zhang or Parker or Kabayel or one or two other top guys would make his run not only a modern great but starting to get into discussions with the top heavyweights in history.

    Boxing thread

    Yeah i would like to see him retire too. I have a feeling Fury will stall around with the rematch and it will drag out another year, and inactivity is a major killer in this late career. He's already about 5 years past his prime. Peak Usyk was probably the Gassiev fight. But his team has...

    Yeah great fight. I don't see how you could give Fury 6 rounds in that fight, let alone 7. Max would be 5. The 115 112 scorecard was right for me.

    Man Briedis will be kicking himself about that. What a guy. Super underrated fighter over the last decade or so. One of my favourites.

    Kabayel!!!!! So likeable

    Boxing thread

    Yeah, so many things going against him. 1. It's a Frank Warren x Bob Arum promotion, both of whom are Fury promoters. 2. Prior to the officials being announced, Usyk was the betting favorite. As soon as the referee and judges were announced that flipped. That should tell you something - all of...

    The referee and judges for the fight look sketchy as hell. The final step is to make the ring the size of a chessboard. Would have preferred for the fight to have been sanctioned by anyone other than the Uk board.
