    Well I've got some Vodka. Rum and a few bottles of Red but I generally keep the spirits for when people come around. I'm pretty good with it as I know I'm the kind of person who will kick the arse out of it if I start on the strong stuff. I just don't have the tolerence these days especially some of the stuff I've got in is well over 40% the absinthe is 68% you can only literally drink a couple of them. If you tried doing the whole bottle even Oliver Reed would be spinning in his grave.

    Your glass jawed hero got taken out by an uppercut for the 3rd time in his career.

    100% of his losses are due to uppercuts....Although he was totally outclassed here and would have lost one way or another.

    Fury certainly has learned to throw a proper uppercut hasn't he boys?

    I highly doubt it. No one cares about Whyte all that much. You need two truy passionate fanbases to post count numbers up like that.

    How? By getting chinned by Povetkin and then beating a totally covid-shot Povetkin in a rematch...try again. I said Whyte wasn't worth it throughout the talk of it happening and I was 100% correct.

    This was a really strange fight and was somewhat underwhelming before the finish. Whyte fought a horrible game plan, was very subdued and he was all over the place. How is it possible Whyte's team never taught him to evade the uppercut is beyond my comprehension.

    Fury fought a beautiful fight. I hope he doesn't retire.

    Yes, he won every round of a scrappy, dull fight against an opponent who didn't turn up.

    Yes, he ended the fight with a very good uppercut.

    I'm a big Tyson Fury fan but does the above make for an 'amazing performance'?

    In my opinion, no.

    So... you're saying Wilder is a better boxer than Whyte?

    I was talking to a buddy about this.... and despite what I've said in the past... It might damn well be true, although it's still splitting hairs.

    And where was Whyte's vaunted pressure and relentless body attack that Aydamn promised? Whyte was blowing out of his backside by round 2. :lol:

    Obviously styles make fights. I'd pick Wlad and Wilder 10 out of 10 times to spark Whyte. In spite of the fact that Whyte is a better boxer than Wilder, and is a little more versatile and fluid than the old version of Wlad that Tyson fought. But, had Whyte fought more aggressively, with a tight high guard, which he can do, or had he backed up along the ropes and baited Fury in, and looked to land a counter. There's a slight chance he could've pulled it off. Stylistically he could've posed more problems for Fury than Wilder or the unfocused shell of Wlad that Fury faced. But Whyte proved that he's still shyte, and showed up with the worst game plan imaginable. Hell, had he stayed southpaw, he'd have done a better job. All he had was a puncher's chance, that should've been stressed by his trainers from the outset. But they chose the... let's outbox him approach.:lol:

    The guy won the WBC international, the silver, the diamond(?!) and the interim

    He fought eliminators against chisora, Rivas and Povetkin X2.

    He became #1 in 2017.

    Serious question, you think this is a man who didn't earn his shot?

    Again to say he isn't worthy, that is an opinion you are welcome to.

    To say he didn't earn a shot, no mate, behave
