Boxing II

12 pints deep in Mann’s in rathkeale

He’d still win.

AJ beat a 39 year old man in 9 rounds that Wlad beat in 5. I’m gonna have a good lump of money on Fury to beat him if it happens

Sound man. I got the knock down, the only action in the fight I suspect!

Odds 4/7 on Fury
Get saving.

no bother :+1:t2:

Joshua is an archetypal human being but he isn’t a box office fighter

That was pathetic. Joshua is of dubious character.

He’s gotten worse, it’s hilarious to listen to the sky hype here.

He hasn’t been right since Ruiz planted him

Pretty much.

He is some specimen though.

Fury beats him 24/7 365 though

Genetics doesn’t beat brawn

Not to be over the top but I think a lot of people really under-estimate how good Fury is. If you look at what he did to Wilder, it was unbelievable. In the first fight some of the best footwork and defence you’ve seen in the Heavy-Weight division since Jersey-Joe Walcott and an unbelievable recovery in the final round. Then in the second fight he just mauled the fuck out of him like he was a child. Add in the fact that he’s absolutely massive, the fact that he has incredible quick hands, brilliant combinations… he’s got to be bigger than anyone Mohammed Ali ever fought. He’s not perfect, he lacks a bit of accuracy and a lot of power. If Fury had power I nearly think he’d be one of the greatest heavy-weights ever.

He doesn’t have power though.

This isn’t charity. He’ll never sell. He is a good opponent though and he’ll get a shot

Yeah if my Auntie had a willy she’d be my uncle.

Definitely and I would of had Joshua a slight favourite few years back as would the bookies.

Not a fucking hope… would I now.

I’d agree absolutely, but, Joshua has a punchers chance against anyone, and he looked a lot less rigid tonight than usual. I thought he boxed well. Pulev is no mug, and a hardy oul bastard to boot.
Joshua would be well advised to steer clear of wilder or any other power puncher as he can still walk into one at any time, but in fairness, he was excellent tonight. He’s just too corporate to warm to.

And she still wouldn’t be world champion. Business is business

A lot of people underestimate him based on his early career where he arguably lost to John McDermott, ducked David Price, uppercut himself and got floored by cruiserweight Cunningham. Then he destroyed Klitchsko mentally and technically and took apart Wilder. An amazing career trajectory

Joshua is rattled.
