Can't wait for this one, starting to get that buzzing feeling. They dropped the fight promo yesterday here it is. Get that fight party planned now. Invite your friends, family and neighbours round. Hide those Jaffa cakes lol.

Usyk inside the distance

 

[General Melchett]

The final face-off lasted almost ten minutes.

Hope Usyk wins. A magnificent fighter with great footwork & ring IQ. A very likeable character. He and his team just ooze class.

Listen to this one

 

[McTallshort]

Sounds like he's trying to convince himself

Dave Allen won that

 

[McTallshort]

And still Heavyweight champion....

Usyk will be living rent free in Fury's head for the rest of his days now.

Frank Warren crying about the scorecards despite the fact that all three judges were aligned and yet he instructs his other fighter Daniel Dubois to get in the ring and call out Usyk after the fight. Just shows that all he really cares about is the old bunse£.

Apparently he's still wandering about with those score cards!

Quite funny seeing the reactions of the Fury fluffers at Talk sport and TNT. So glad Usyk won.

Didn’t watch it but from everything I read online Usyk was the clear winner and now he’s beaten Fury and AJ x 2 plus Dubois. That’s the problem with points scoring in boxing - even worse at the Olympics, when there’s no clear knockout.

One of the true greats

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Very sad indeed. Recently finished watching his biopic.

If no one's watched the first Frasier v Foreman fight where he completely destroyed smokin' Joe:



The Rumble in the Jungle:



Then of course becoming the oldest Heavyweight champion at 45 20 Years after. Truly Rocky story:

Froch is absolute gold with these rants - especially from the 5 min mark on this clip. Calling Helwani a skinny **** ass gimp and accusing him of wanting to polish Fake Paul's dome! Superb.
