    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.

    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

    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.

    Yeah, I'm pretty certain the drug testing for this fight is minimal and in any case, Fury's camps are usually in the middle of nowhere where he can't be tested.

    George is a credit to the sport. Did things the hard way to work his way up and win against Teo, immediately took the difficult fights in trying for undisputed with Haney, and then took on Lomachenko. It's all you can ask of a fighter. Absolute champion.

    Gvosdyk vs Benevidez is a banger fight. If Gvosdyk is anything close to what he used to be then I think it'd be worth putting some money on him.

    Inoue is the best pure offensive boxer I have ever seen. Surgical punch placement and power in both hands and an athletic advantage I don't think we've seen since Roy Jones Junior. Ultimately, when he slips a bit due to age or going up weight divisions (he is already arguably undersized at...

    They won't. Too much money.

    Yeah. Question is will any of these guys fight Subriel Matias?

    Boxing thread

    What's crazy is dominating the fight like that when half the time you're doing that stupid ineffectual shoulder roll and another 3rd of the fight you're dancing around the ring for fun. I mean really it felt like he could have stopped him at any time if he just stopped screwing around. The...

    I had completely underrated Ryan Garcia. The commentary was also extremely biased towards Haney. It was weird, Garcia at times seemed like he could completely outbox Haney from range when he wanted to, whicj was unbelievable to me. I couldn't quite believe how easily Garcia could land the...

    It makes sense for Whyte too, no way does he get a fight with another top 5 opponent

    This is a great fight for Parker, should get to look pretty good against a washed Dillian (UNLESS he's been juicing up to his **** on his time out) Deserves a nice showcase fight IMO.

    Yeah, weird fight. I always felt Fundora had more of a chance than Thurman but didn't like the way the cut effected the outcome so much. I also think it was an insane choice for a late callup. Completely different styles, dimensions and also southpaw compared to what Tsyu would have been...
