Cotto vs Canelo is on tomorrow gents, who is watching that one? for our NZ based friends this one is free to air on Sky. Basically the 2nd biggest fight of the year and a very intriguing match up.

Peurto Rico vs Mexico
Old vs Young
Brother vs Brother (They are both Floyd's children)

I like them both but favour the size and combination punching of Canelo, I also think he will be one of the next big stars (well he already is really)

Not the most confident, but I am looking forward to it.

I'm waiting for Klitchko vs Fury.

Fight night.

After some controversy with the ring it's nearly time for the main event (just over 2 hours).

Prefer Klit but hopefully Tyson will put up a better fight than Haye did.

Klitchko will kill him, was watching one of the build up adverts and it had Fury saying how the advantage is with him because hes the younger fighter and the wife couldn't believe he's only in his 20s! Hard paper round that lad. Spoon fed with a catapult.

Interesting watching the canvas videos on YouTube.

Got an American stream - they're trying to describe what an Irish traveller is.
Cringe.

What was that guy wearing?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

All that red and gold is giving me Rocky IV vibes.

Boring!

Was there a single real punch in this fight so far?

 

[nickdnz]

Some one described this fight as two large drunk men doing the cha cha. I can see it.

 

[Maverick1987]

Any1 got a feed ?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Even the commentary are saying that this has been dire.

 

[nickdnz]

Can't be true. According to Fury, he's very entertaining..

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Vlad needs to think about retiring after this fight.

He just isn't dominating with his presence.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There's a difference between laughing at and laughing with someone, I suppose


I've always hated Fury, but I'm actually cheering for him now - at least he's trying to box/looks like he wants to be there.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Fury could upset Klitschko here

 

[dragos03]

Both should retire and boxing should be banned. This is a sham.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Crazy to think of the heavyweight champs of the past compared to the standard of this fight.

Can't wait until Anthony Joshua is at this level - think he's only got 10 fewer fights than Fury under his belt.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The Judges will go Wlad none the less.
