Excited for the Fight

I just want closure to this series. I won't say excitement for the fight, I said Fury would win twice and in my eyes he's already won twice and there is no need for a third fight. This is extremely anticlimactic. I will say I'm ready for Fury to fight Usyk and see who leaves with four crowns. I'm ready for Wilder to come to the realization that he is not the upper echelon fighter he believes himself to be. It's time for the HW division to move on from this storyline. I'm excited for that.

 

Great card.

 

It’s a great night of HW boxing, even if you don’t care too much about the main event. I didn’t want a third fight, either, but hopefully this will set up unification for the spring.

 

Defo mate, looking forward to it now. All in all it should be a good night/morning of boxing. Makes it easier for me staying awake.

 

Yep that's how I feel too. The fight itself seems pointless and is simply a contractual obligation. I'll be happy to have moved on from this and get to hopefully see the top 2 heavies in Fury and Usyk square off.

The under card looks good though, some potentially good fights.

 

The same, I wasn't very interested at all at first, I just assumed it would be a pointless fight obstructing the more interesting Fury-Joshua showdown.

After the delay I lost more interest.

Since then I've come to believe that Fury still has something to prove - not so much against Wilder, but this provides a good test. It will also be nice seeing the two in the ring again after nearly two years. At the same time, I'm not as big on Fury as I was when it was first announced, so I'm fairly happy to 'see what happens' rather than being too concerned about a particular outcome (though I do want Fury to win); and I don't care at all about Fury-Joshua, it's all Usyk now.

So: two top heavyweights in the ring; plenty of uncertainty as to the state of both fighters and what will happen in the bout; a solid looking undercard; lots of questions to be answered.

I'm looking forward to it. Shame it won't be on at a reasonable UK time.

 

For the last Fury-Wilder fight I went to bed and set my alarm for half 3ish, but this time I want to watch other fights on the card too. Im taking the kids swimming at 1030 Sunday morning, will be in no fit state

 

Could say it isn't every decade.

 

Really looking forward to a great night boxing.First an interesting fight from Liverpool and then the main event.Can`t wait

 

Everyone who said they weren't interested in Fight 3 should have to copy and paste how many times they said that in the last year and a half and ... then say they changed their minds.

It's always exciting when two of the best heavyweights on the planet fight, especially in a series.

We're witnessing what should be the conclusion of an all-time heavyweight series. There aren't a lot of them. Everyone should just sit back and enjoy it.

 

I like fresh matchups, but honestly with AJ and Usyk unavailable this might be the next best thing. It's at least top 5 (I really want to see Wilder vs Whyte, maybe someday...).

This undercard though! There hasn't been a PPV set this solid since March 2020 at least, maybe since HBO left the business. Trying to think back I'm stuck on Mayweather-Alvarez. There must have been something more recent but I can't recall it!

 

The Joshua-Ruiz II undercard was good, lots of heavyweights, but the matchups weren't as even on paper.

I'm really excited for Ajagba-Sanchez. But I think I might be surprised if Helenius won again, which is weird given how convincing he was the first time around.

In my mind, I've sort of forgotten about Kownacki like I forgot about Jarrell Miller. They are best friends and always worked together in the gym. When Miller got busted and Kownacki lost, I sort of put them both out of my mind.

I'm not sure how to view Kownacki if he walks out and scores a big KO win. Then again, he's reportedly just as huge as he was last time. So this could be end for him if he loses.

 

When the fight was announced, like many, l thought 'What's the point ?'
Strangely though, during this week I've become much more interested. Wilder's ego & behaviour has probably helped, coupled with them both being inactive for so long has definitely got my attention.
I may even fork out & get up to watch it !
Out of interest does anyone know what time (UK) the 'main' undercard bouts should start ? I'm guessing 2am.
