    Agree, Wilder is garbage and the HW are useless at the moment

    I would like Arum to chuck the Horn kid in with Bradley or Vargas just to see him get a flogging.

    Agreed Wilder did not look very good, he is my current favourite in the poor heavyweight division he seems to wait for to long and his technique isn't the best but still has good power, I would give the Parker kid a good chance against him.
    Be sure to Watch Thurman Garcia next weekend as well. Who are my Fab 4 brothers picking in that one? I am going with Thurman by decision.

    Agreed.

    Looking forward to Thurman - Garcia with Thurman getting the chocolates late stoppage IMO.
    I could only hope it is capped off with Thurman or one of his entourage beating the **** out of Angel as desert.

    You think it will be a close fight before the late stoppage? Or do you think that Thurman will dominate and stop him?
    Garcia has a good chin which is why I am going with Thurman by decision but a Garcia win would not surprise me, he always seems to find a way. I have picked Thurman though because he is hungry he wants it. I would love to see Thurman win by KO to shut Angel up.

    We also get Haye v Bellew on the weekend, not sure what to make of that fight? Smart money would be on Haye by KO but Haye has only fought bums since his come back, Bellew needs to survive the early rounds to have a chance.

    I think it is going to be real close with Thurman recognising an error from fatigue and capitalising on it. Both look calm and focused and like you IMO this is a real contest to get excited about.

    I am hoping Bellew gets the win - cannot stand Haye, IMO waste of talent.

    Agreed, Haye is a complete twat, thinks he is a big time Hollywood celebrity and disrespects boxing the very thing that made him famous. Hayes last 2 fights were a joke and he is only fighting Bellew because he has a big size advantage.

    Swift by decision,Haye by KO. Looking forward to this match up basing this totally on Garcia always rising to the occasion.

    I just listened to the fight disciples pod cast and they did over an hour long interview with Bellew. He comes a cross as a genuine good guy and now I really want to see him beat that clown Haye more than ever. It's a big ask but Bellew has a big heart, if he doesn't win he will go out on his shield.

    Haye wins by brutal stoppage imo and I will say Danny Garcia wins on points in a very close fight.

    The fight I'm really looking forward too though is Tony Ferguson-Khabib next weekend. I'm picking Ferguson to outlast him over a brutal 5 rds.

    Yep - flawed but I like him. His another multi talented boxer legitimately within Dannyweight with a sterling acting performance in Creed = Green kryptonite.

    Needs to step on Hayes toes literally, upset the **** out of him to beat him IMO.

    People **** on the 80,90 and early nought hw scene but those were actually pretty good especially compared to today's standards.
