    I think Wladimir was vulnerable at the time, I also think it was little to do with Fury’s Batman suit and more to do with his fighting style and ability.

    Who said it had anything to do with the batman suit?

    Watch the gloves are off with them and you could see how unnerved Wladimir got after he found out Fury wasn't as stupid as he assumed he was and understood in that moment that Fury was a student of boxing and wasn't just relying on some faint hope that he could replicate Corey Saunders and Brester like David Haye believed.

    He will find it far easier to rattle AJ, who tonight had another breakdown because Whyte wasn't appreciative of his praise.

    Only AJ could tell the crowd to not boo him! Absolute garbage

    Not that it did him any good in the first fight with Steve Collins. In fact, Collins was in Eubank's head that time: the hunter became the hunted, and the discombobulator became discombobulated.

    I don’t need to I watched it at the time, I know the story, I’ve heard SRL talk about it first hand.

    Pre fight talk is for goading a fighter into signing for a fight a la Ali/Liston or for promotion.
    Mike Tyson held psychological advantages over his opponents but it wasn’t due to talk and pantomime words.

    more than anything he wont be allowed to say much, the man is controlled, the perfect PR machine. everything he does seems so performed, even his commentary for this fight, he didn't come across naturally in any of it, "for the simple minded viewers at home, the fighters are now doing something called punching, this is how fights are won, where men are men blah blah". ah I dunno, the more I see him the more I dislike AJ, he really acts like he is the king of boxing the way he speaks down to people. Fury really embarrassed him by taking the Wilder fight and damn near winning it and taking the limelight from him, seems to have made AJ even more annoying than usual.

    I think he underestimated edwards. He usually is a good boxer puncher but this must have been his first time fighting a mover. Anyway casimero's record just got deeper.

    He looked slow and didn't cut off the ring. But he couldn't cut off the ring because he is slow as molasses.

    Fury will make AJ cry. Physical tears before they set foot in a ring. I actually can’t wait for that fight to be made just to watch the build up

    First off wow what a ko what a battle, full respect to them two awsome heart and chins.
    Think dillian fought a clever fight, worked the body well and his counter punching was quality, took breaks in rounds at the right times and looked comfortable the full fight.
    Thought his use of the fore arm was more blatant than what what chisora got deductions for, but it wasn’t a dirty fight it was brutal not dirty should of been no deductions imo, his first low blow he got deducted, his previous warning was for use of the head looked to me like the ref was in favour of Whyte, not massively corrupt but enough for it to be obvious.
    The work rate in that fight was ridiculous, it was like watching middleweights how they kept that going I have no idea. Absolutly loved it, I like both fighters and glad it was ended by ko to end all arguments and what a way to end it.
