So many title eliminators happening, will the undisputed fight be allowed to happen? I've got a feeling the WBC may be ****s and force Fury to fight Ortiz/Ruiz winner. Or will they allow the undisputed to ahead after last years utter failure? WBC mandatory - Ruiz/Ortiz winner WBO mandatory - Likely Joyce/Parker winner IBF mandatory - Zhang/Hrgovic winner What do you think?
It doesnt have to be, if Fury mans up. He needs to be at that fight, get in the ring,hallenge the winner and fight him in december.
It would've already happened or be happening right about now if not for ReMatchroom and Haymon Protection Services forcing the finalists who both won their semi-finals conclusively on away soil where everything was stacked heavily against them to have to fight in two semi-finals instead of the final. AJ and The Dosser should be fighting each other for third place if anything albeit the later doesn't even deserve that. AJ gets to progress to the final by winning one fight after losing his previous one wide on home soil and his stacked deck.
Prize fighting at its best. I keep telling guys those EE guys, war or not, can't bring in that casual money like these super stars can. I just hope he like tea with his British home cooking after this fight.
Big potential for a robbery or some skullduggery in this one. Too much money to be made from AJ vs Fury
Agreed, without a doubt Usyk has to stop Joshua this time to guarantee the win,the scorecards for the first fight were bad enough. Best I could give Joshua was 3 rounds in the first fight and the scorecards did not reflect that one bit .
Nah, he can still dominate the fight without knocking him out. A knockout would be definitive but there's no way they rig it against Usyk if he dominates Joshua even more than he did last time in 12 rounds.
If Usyk beats Joshua then Fury will find an excuse to avoid Usyk and say Usyk doesn't bring as much money as Joshua...
I hope so but I think Usyk will press for the stoppage this time as he himself knows the scorecards for the first fight were not a true reflection of how the fight went as well as the fact that the ref also ignored the towel being waved by Joshua’s corner to stop the fight in the final round.Like you say a knockout would be definitive and also take the result out of the judges hands . Let’s hope we have a clear winner without any controversy.
Furys retired. When he wasn't he more was interested in fighting Chisors in December despite win or AJ saying he will be fighting in December. Fury already had a chance for unified fight and chose not to. Then the Usyk vs AJ winner we have to deal
