    Joshua these days - no punch resistance, no balance.
    Fury these days - no legs, timing has gone.

    It’s a case of whoever is the least washed now.

    Zero interest in it.

    For some unaccountable reason the Americans are obsessed with this pairing of Usyk’s victims, going by the assorted podcasts available.
    Kellerman, Dan Rafeal, Mannix, Steve Kim, Algieri etc go on and on about it. It’s as if getting splattered by Dubois never happened!

    None of them are independent journalists mate, they lean into wherever the attention is.

    Hopefully the fight lands in America now, then watch them all do a complete 180 when it flops.

    This weekend should have killed it stone dead really. Both fighters should have come to their senses and realised they're done, but they're both surrounded by sycophants on the payroll telling them there's one more big night left. Well, in this case two or three, as it won't be a one-fight deal.

    They must have been sitting next to me then (if so I can guess who you mean) and I never heard anything like that.

    Fixed ? There certainly are alot of fights when an opponent was sent in not to win , that wasn't the case here though as far as I know and the betting data shows nothing suspicious.

    In all honesty I watched it half asleep and it didn't look bent. Whatever's up with AJ these days he can still hit.

    That being said, it wouldn't be a betting fix in this case, "don't win" would be plausible enough. Just don't think these guys would risk it.

    Prenga was 100-1 and after 7 rounds 125-1 and late rounds 150-1.

    Stealing a living as a pundit, Bellew. His lack of impartiality is bordering on incredibly disturbing at this stage. DAZN needs to replace him with David Price and be done with it; he's a much more likable and knowledgeable fella.

    Anyone involved in that fight being fixed would risk losing their career, their reputation, a lot of money and very possibly their freedom.

    You'd be surprised if you knew how many boxing fights are fixed. It still happens.
