    Think this will be a tough fight for Huni. Larena could be up for this

    Yeah I was just thinking that. No one particularly wants to see Parker-AJ again

    Watching the Zhang vs Jerry Forrest fight is very interesting. Forrest is a pretty good fighter, so I'm not saying it reflects badly on Zhang, as other people have. On the contrary, the fact that Zhang was able to drop him so easily in those first few rounds is pretty ominous. Forrest has good...

    Yeah I've spent some time working in some rural hospitals and they have some insanely high quality sports facilities for the population size. Absolutely 3rd rate schools and hospitals. But great sports facilities. You might have x ray facilities 3 only days a week, and your water quality will...

    Sorry but what professional boxer is not wearing full protective headgear two weeks before the biggest fight in boxing? It is very unlikely to get a cut wearing proper protective headgear when sparring. Fury does not and has never wanted this fight.

    Deliberate cut imo

    Well I got the Ryder one wrong, but even in retrospect i still think that was worth a punt. Still not sold on Munguia. Briedis vs Opetaia rematch is so interesting. It's bizarre how UK commentators had Jordan Thompson a favourite going into that fight and rated Okolie as the number one...

    Some value picks for Niall on upcoming fights: Briedis is good value in the rematch. Yes, Opetaia has huge upside and won the first fight. Yes, Briedis has been mucking around over the last couple of years calling out Jake Paul. but it's still the most competitive fight at cruiserweight John...

    Parker Zhang is signed apparently. Excellent, excellent fight. This would never have been made without that Saudi money.

    It's one of the best fights in boxing and I do not gaf where it happens, it just needs to happen this year. Have been leaning towards Beterbiev for the last year or so.

    Just to come back to this I have some more thoughts. Callum Smith's best wins are John Ryder (a fight he actually lost), and a shot and injured George Groves. Dude was getting outboxed by Erik Skoglund ffs. He's barely a world level fighter and the fact that he was a world champion is due to...

    Rumours of Parker vs Hrgovic on the AJ-Ngannou undercard. A great fight for the heavyweight division, but feel that it's a bad match up for Parker as he will struggle to get past the jab just like the Joyce fight. Would be better to get in with Zhang IMO. But it doesn't matter at this point...

    No. Beterbiev to this day has the best win at LHW, when he beat and retired Gvosdyk. Yes he's old and inactive but Beterbiev has elite boxing skills and is up there with Inoue, Zhang et all as one of the hardest punchers in boxing. The fight with Bivol is 50/50.

    Jesus. Not sure if that's necessarily the second doctor's fault. The way that I read this is that they had MRI scans showing an aneurysm (which should preclude anyone from ever getting in the ring again), and they sought out a second doctor but didn't tell him about the MRI. So the second...

    Beterbiev will murder Smith even if he was 50.

    I don't want to take away credit from Parker or make excuses for Wilder but he looked unable to pull the trigger. Part of that was Parker's gameplan for sure. But there were times when Parker screwed up his own footwork and was essentially standing right in front of Wilder and the right hand...

    Boxing thread

    I have just watched the Parker-Wilder fight. I'm sorry but any fighter with a decent upper cut or even just a second phase of attack should have been able to stop what Parker was doing there. I don't know whether to blame Wilder's corner or Wilder himself, but the idea that he couldn't...

    Zhang is a bit like Ruiz. Front foot counter puncher. Just way more size and power, but possibly even less stamina. Whatever you think of the current heavyweight it's a pretty fun group of fighters.

    Ruiz-Sanchez would be a great fight

    Wilder could still beat Joyce and Ruiz who are both good fighters. Just styles really.
