Dec 23rd - What fight are you looking forward to most?

Gone Dubois/Miller but I think it's the one most likely to fall through, even at this late stage. Miller is still a dangerous SOB.
Near as dammit 50 50, just like the one you picked.
Strangely like Makhnudov vs Kayabel. Mainly cos it's his toughest test. Not had any yet, but he should pass it.

 

Wilder is pure box office whoever he is in there with. Thirty six seconds or thirty six minutes, that ATG right hand has you on the edge of your seat.

Joshua is a domestic level bum wrapped up in elite level packaging.

 

The card is all complete mismatches. The odds tell us that none of the fights are expected to be competitive.

Makmudov v Kaybel - Makmudov 1.09

Hrgovic v Marc De Mori - Hrgovic 1.02

Sanchez v Fa - Sanchez 1.05

Dubois v Miller - Dubois 1.36 Miller 3.35

Bivol v Arthur - Bivol 1.05

Wilder v Parker - Wilder 1.22 Parker 6

Joshua v Wallin - Joshua 1.31 Wallin 4.6 (Decimal odd from Betfair exchange)


What we should be asking is where de we see an upset? Wallin or Miller are looking the most likely options. Dubois is erratic however I expect him to deal with Miller comfortably. Otto Wallin a durable southpaw, potentially awkward for AJ although again I expect AJ to knock him out. Parker I believe has a chance against Wilder, I expect him to be ahead on the cards before getting sparked out. I might back him with a view to holding and cashing out as the fight progresses (round 8 cash out).

 

I am looking forward to it but hope they stick to boxing rather than the singing shite they had with Fury Vs MMA novice guy.

We would all rather see better matchups but there's no denying it has a lot of big names on the card.

I can't see Dubois, AJ and Wilder all coming through their matches victorious.

That's not saying their opponents are amazing but that they all have faults-
Dubois is a know quitter, AJ is a nervous wreck and Wilder has fought one round in over 2 years.

It would serve AJ and Wilder right if they both get beat and miss out on a massive payday after avoiding each other for so long

 

Dubois-Miller

Danny D could literally redefine his career if he digs deep and withstands the avalanche

 

Dubois isn't exactly know for digging deep.

He couldn't build a sandcastle without taking a knee

 

I'm interested to see if Wilder has enough left in the tank. He's barely thrown a punch since the third fury fight and at 38 inactivity is a killer.

Dubois Miller is an interesting one and I'm not convinced Dubois has the heart to come through it, especially if Miller is pissing green and has that high output.

Joshua v Wallin I fully expect a Joshua KO here. Wallin has the same reach as Usyk but doesn't have anywhere near the skill to not

Hopefully getting that big KO will give AJ a bit more confidence and less gun shy. I could see him getting Wallin out of there convincgly if so.

Wilders inactivity is a concern but they always say power is the last thing to go. Parkers isn't exactly a mover and will be there to be tagged .

I might be in the minority on here but I think Miller is all wrong for Dubois especially if he wants it. If Miller has been juicing I think he beats Dubois up and makes him quit.

 

Its intriguing in as much as to see who has the most left, probably wilder.
The DDD fight is far morebup in the air. Miller is big and has a decent engine. Well he did whilst he was juicing lol

 

I've gone for Dubois-Miller, but the two headliners not far behind.

I hope Miller will go down as easily as Trevor Bryan did, because he's a scumbag. But it's going to be fascinating to see how he copes if Miller just doesn't go away. Dubois hasn't shown great heart and Miller has the tools to break his heart before the opening bell.

 

In fairness, not sure I could either

 

I’m actually interested in the makhmudov vs kabayal fight. Makhmudov is there to to be tagged if someone does their homework

 

But isn't Kayabel more of a spoiling type guy? May come on stronger in the later rounds but it may not go that far.

He wont mate. Hes bigger better and more heart than Bryan. I said before the aborted AJ fight that he could upset him. Hes got Dubois in his pocket already to an extent. But if Daniel can make him feel his power he can win, especially as surely Miller will be tested to the limits??

Thats very true. High risk high reward. If he wins this people will think he can get better and right a few wrongs. Lose and he may as swell get a job as a trainer,

 

Dubois v Miller for me is a 50/50 fight and just shades Wilder v Parker although I am looking forward to Parker being KTFO

 

Quality one liner pal, this one deserves it's own thread. "DDD couldn't xxxxxxxxx without taking a knee"
