    I like Eurosport I find not having to look at the presenters better for my mental heath. I also think briedis is rather good i hope he gives Huck a good hiding .

    I doubt that actually. Wlad knows he has to let the hands go.

    Or he thinks Fury beats Wilder handily, which gives him the chance to pick up the WBC belt in lieu of the IBF belt that Fury had taken if he wins the rematch.

    What about Povetkin? Isn't Wilder all tied up with his mandatory?

    Or can he postpone that somehow?

    Just checked this out and yeah, you're right.

    Wow. Really might be Wilder then.

    But Wlad would have to okay this.

    If Fury wins, then Wlad can try for all three belts and that's great for Wlad.

    But if Wilder wins, then Wilder will definitely have to face Povetkin next and Wlad gets nothing.

    Would Wlad accept that? The chance of getting nothing, just so he can have a have a chance at getting one more belt?

    I find that somewhat hard to swallow. I might sooner buy that Wlad really felt he needed more time and agreed to postpone the match, but didn't expect Fury to take on such a tough opponent.

    This. Vitali Oldscko. If he can do something at his age I'll be amazed.

    He's ok. There's nothing special about him. He hits hard.

    One would have to be a total idiot not to know they have to let their hands go in a boxing match:patsch

    Knowing it and doing it is a different matter.

    Vitali said that Vlad did not do his homework.......................the rematch will be a different story. In the first fight both lost.................all Vlad has to do is throw punches as Fury is not a hard puncher, nothing to be concerned about unless Vlad is sick or old age has caught up with him, but I think he will get a knockout. Vitali will not allow him to fight if he has gone down hill.

    This "Fury is not a hard puncher" stuff is pure guff.

    He's a heavyweight boxer. He could knock anybody out clean with either hand if allowed to land flush.
