Off to the pub to watch Fury beat the **** out of Whyte in lieu of boxing getting its act together and giving fans the fights we want to see

let the record show that fury's reflexes were not on point in fury - wilder 3
he had a disrupted camp that time and is in better shape now, but riddick bowe's career showed that one too many cheeseburger binges can ruin a fighter's reflexes
i've a couple of quid on whyte by decision @ 22/1 in case fury spends the whole night getting hit

Fury looks in good shape, taking it seriously, weigh in went fine
so his main obstacles mostly out of the way

The way his body fat jiggles during the slow motion replays, but damn, he knows how to fight.

he really gonna retire?
If Joshua gets the W vs Usyk and with the Wilder stuff out of the way, man that would be hard to turn down
seems like he would kill Joshua as well but if Usyk wins I dunno, not much else for him
he just started getting paid the big $ with the Wilder fights though, no? Gotta think he wants to milk this a little more

Fury is still amazing. If it ain't Usyk, don't bother but honestly, he's the king until he stops caring.

Joshua would do huge $ though
that was the fight to make before Wilder and his lawyers stepped in for their match

Fury-Josh is the money for sure, but Fury bitchmakes Josh in front of his family and friends. If Josh can be broken by a chubby nobody and a Cruiserweight, the most skilled HW in the world is going to make him beg.
Usyk is talented enough to beat Fury, but Fury is so damn good at using his size and range, and Usyk is just so small that it's going to be tough to see that as anything other than a more competitive version of today.
Fury probably goes and headlines a WWE show for zillions, then fights a UFC guy for zillions more, then maybe fights one of Fury/Usyk for more zillions than anyone would ever need, then he's done. I really want to believe that he's got a solid grip on his mental health and see him book a lifetime win, but maybe I'm just a big softy.

Glad I'm not scoring this live. Feels like Canelo isn't liking Bivol's power, but Bivol's failure to move his head is allowing Canelo to land that uppercut more and more often

Lol Canelo eating at least 5 of those 9 punches on the replay then doing the "c'mon" gesture is really something.

I have no idea who's winning. Both guys are having their moments. Bivol looks super fast.

Well, if this goes to the cards, it's going to take some all-time riggage to explain this away. Bivol has to be up all but 1 maybe 2 round here. Canelo is getting worked

Bivol's speed and accuracy is enough to overcome his lack of elite defense. He's just pumping that jab in there and it's breaking Canelo's rhythm every time.

They tried their best, lol at 115-113, but in the end they just couldn't give enough obvious rounds the wrong way.

Will Canelo even seek a rematch? He'll probably just get washed again, there are weight classes for a reason
