    Or the fact it’s a MANDATORY defence. Also a fight Wilder ran from.

    Why bring wilder into this? His only relevance to this thread is the chinny robot (or his team at least) have DUCKED him to death. Anything else is plain hearsay at this point

    Didn't Joyce say he would be willing to fight on this card when he turned down the chance of fightinf Webb as it was too soon for him.

    Joyce vs Price or Kuzmin?

    Heading further off topic, I thought it was quite interesting that Price pays for a brain scan after every fight he has. As you all already know he’s only obligated to have one a year by the BBBofC to keep his license (should it come back healthy of course). I know there’s an opinion held by many that he should quit before he gets seriously hurt but fair play to him, he’s clearly taking his health (in terms of his brain) very seriously.

    Could also be an indication in to how mentally weak he is? He’s scared to get punched and then has a check up when he is.

    The Pov fight? Didn't Wilder sign to go and fight him in Moscow before he tested positive?

    Card is indeed looking weaker but I don't think anyone can dump on the main event at least. It isn't THE fight that we want but Povetkin is without a doubt a top 5 fighter at the weight, possibly even top 3. Objectively, it's a good fight.

    The card is likely going to be filled up with the usual detritus though. Some of the prospects will be in fights similar to those they've already been in which will continue to be particularly uninteresting.

    That’s a valid point, I didn’t consider that angle, bud.

    Hearn signed Ortiz so that AJ didnt have to fight him...

    Wilder knocked out Ortiz

    Hope this helps

    100k a year.

    Need to make 28 pro match room comments a week (4 a day) across multiple different forums. For the negative posts I get £500 deducted. If I make a pro match room post and it gets more than 5 likes I receive £100 per like after 5.

    So it’s really good and incetivised.
