    Feel like this stuff is fed to make Fury look like things are going wrong for him and to make him an underdog but he's probably as prepared for this fight more than any other.

    Opetaia Had a spat with Moses. Plus the fact he has a big fight coming up, didn’t want the energy of the fury camp to hinder his fight.

    Yes, Itauma who is 7-0 (5 KOs) in the pros and is very fast, skillful and powerful who, as said, was holding his own or more than holding his own in sparring against the likes of Okolie, AJ and Joyce as a teenager.

    I never claimed he dropped Belly or that he would. I questioned why the 210lb Jai would drop Belly x 2 in five rounds of sparring but the 240lb Itauma wouldn't have over many more rounds than that if Jai did. I think it's all BS. Neither of them dropped Belly.

    Utter poppycock

    They're not excuses. I never said Belly didn't train I said he didn't take Ngannou seriously, as in he thought it was going to be a walk in the park for him. He was surprised by Ngannou's tactics too. It was painfully obvious he was just from his body language. Everyone thought it was a complete mismatch and regardless of what Belly says he thought he was going to toy with him.

    Hey Adam, mate, how'd you hold up when Ngannou dropped Fury the first and second time?
    Must have been pretty offputting to see the big unit dropped by someone on debut.

    Hell, I'd be embarrassed if I was dropped by a 300lb pudding cake like AJ, but being dropped by a UFC fighter on debut is one of the most embarrassing things I've witnessed. That's like Usain Bolt being beaten in a sprint race by a long-distance runner, unfathomable.

    :eek:

    There's nothing in any of this. David Nyika was meant to be coming over to help Jai prepare for Briedis but he isn't. Therefore there's no suitable orthodox sparring for Opetaia to prepare for his defence against Briedis. The rumours are absolute rubbish and even if they weren't, it's sparring.

    lol what a sausage you are.

    You’ve clearly never watched Itauma and made simple judgement by clicking into Boxrec….. which by the way, you’ve viewed his amateur record lmao

    He’s 7-0 (5KO) as a PRO !
