Definitely mate, got 150 quid back off a fiver bet plus a fiver free for that 1st fight. The thing is, we now know Joshua is definitely beatable, and not necessarily against top opposition, so there's always a chance. Who knows, Pulev may clip him on the temple and finish him off. Not beyond the realms of possibility, as we have already seen.
I see a quick and comfortable Joshua win as most likely, but definitely wouldn't be shocked if Joshua somehow managed to lose to Pulev.
I usually want Joshua to lose, but him winning means Fury vs Joshua becomes very likely for 2021. Can't see past a relatively straightforward Joshua KO win within the first 8 rounds.
Pulev and team safely in the bubble with test results showing they are fine... However yet another undercard fight is off with the women's fight off.
The Undercard, which I was looking forward too, is in absolute tatters. Every other show Hearn and Co have given domestic level lads a chance to be in a 50/50 when there's been COVID pull outs- I highly doubt AJ and Hearn will be as charitable this week, 24.95 for AJ Pulev and Fury vs Wack.
Well if Covid hits, even during their ring walk, Eddie might follow an existing wbo model, to preserve his precious PPV slot. Being for the lowly regarded wbo belt, among others, they could do a “Tommy Morrison.” By dragging one of the 1,000 spectators, preferably a boxer over 15 stone, from his seat, to fill the fill the other corner. (lower case for wbo, deliberate). This time waster of an alphabet fight, should be over very quickly, but we said that last June against a very rotund substitute.
Another opponent who is in their late 30s. This one being 39. I know it’s an easy lay but seriously? Is this the best the user car salesman can do? A Bulgarian pollaxed by an ageing Wlad 6 years ago? Why isn’t he facing young and hungry challengers? Is he scared?
He has to get the mandatory out the way. You're right though, on paper it does just look like an inconvenience. We have Joshua, Fury and Usyk all at their best right now - they need to all fight eachother over the next couple of years.
I think Joshua vs Fury is fairly nailed on if Joshua gets through this weekend. Reading between the lines of Hearn's interviews this week the deal is agreed but hinges on this weekend. I predict that if Joshua does it they may well announce the fight then and there especially if Fury is in attendance. He may have to drop a belt though. Not sure what will happen with Usyk admittedly.
We have 3 top HWs and we want to know who the number 1 is. Fury has faced Wilder. Twice. AJ hasnt faced either. In the last two years he has faced two 40 year olds and a fat mexican. Must do better seriously.
