Oleskandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois - August 26 // Poland (TNT PPV)

Bentley v Sheeraz will not be next. I would expect that they will stall that fight until Frank is able to make it a WBO final eliminator or something. I think Denzel fights in October or November, maybe on the Fury undercard.

It’s a shame Frank couldn’t get another slot on the undercard to send over Nick Ball or something. On the flip side, I don’t mind seeing some eastern block fighters like Lapin for a change.

I was going to watch the fight at my local, but one of my boys who’s a semi casual is interested in the fight, so he’s coming over so I will buy it. Hopefully it does decent nos

 

Why do you care so much what fights in the past did?

They don’t have to tell us how much Joyce v Parker did. The reason they haven’t is probably because nobody cares.

 

Tell your cousin to fook off.

 

If anyone was really bothered about PPV buys, TV ratings, etc, they could subscribe to BARB and find out the audited figures. Nobody's surely that bothered

 

I can’t see this fight doing well on PPV at all on Saturday.

Will be hoping Daniel can pull of an upset but don’t see it at all. I see Usyk winning by stoppage.

 

Big DDD going into the Lion's Den away from home facing the man who schooled Joshua twice, ended Bellew and ducked by Fury.

Credit to the big man for having the balls to get in there win or lose.

 

Let hope Sheeraz doesn’t make it to the Bentley fight. Can’t believe everyone has just forgotten what he did and was allowed to get away with against Skeete! Disgraceful. I thought Gray was a decent ref until then. Just like the recent McCann fight, it was a ref doing all he could to get the lad who there is more money to be made on over the line.
That was around the same time he threw a cornerman’s towel out of the ring.

 

Lol Sheeraz vs Bentley is a great domestic fight. He offered Skeete the rematch and skeete decided to retire instead so you can blame him instead bud. Btw it doesnt matter that Mytrofanov has a great amateur pedigree and is part of Usyks team, hes getting KOd this weekend.

 

Sheeraz is a fantastic young boxer if he were a liverpudlian chav kitted out in stone island and turkey teeth youd be haling him as next legend out of shores come on ffs

 

Nobody in Liverpool wears Stone Island. An old Skeete boxed his head off so he’s not that good.

 

I know that mate but he was clearly thinking of retiring anyway he’d done nearly all the hard work to win that fight and had it taken away. He obviously thought I can’t be bothered with this and you can’t blame him really. I had the same feeling when I failed my first driving test. Got 1 minor but made a silly mistake that an ‘overly picky’ examiner failed me on. I was thinking I can’t really drive as good as that again and I still failed. I bet Skeete felt similar haha. He was not punished for their part in it. Doesn’t sit right with me.

 

Bit late to this thread but for what it's worth, Usyk boxes the head off Dubois.

A one sided beat down.

Hope that DD gets a decent pay day out of this.
