why was mikey looking at him like that

He has very good speed and power, I’m not sure about his ring IQ yet though as he could overpower anyone to this point but looked sluggish against Fonseca.

What’s more of a problem though is to me it seems like dude is rather heading down on the Broner path than the Mayweather path based on his out of ring lifestyle.

ring IQ is fine to me, dude is smart and technical he just also happens to have fight ending one-shot power.

Deontay Wilder: People think the money is in UK - it's not, they have a cap

He’s more so saying it’s more money in the states than in the UK not that they are really capped

Thing is he can maybe make more money in the US against Joshua than in the UK (not sure at this point, w no Joshua debut in the US yet) but he probably can't make more against Fury in the US than against Joshua either in the UK or US. And with Joshua being the bigger draw all he can do is tell them that he thinks they would get more in the US but if they would still want it to be in the UK he's still the one who would have to budge.

I think if they fight in the UK first but a contract states that either half has the right to call for an immediate rematch which would take place in the US regardless of the result would be fair enough. That way the fight would probably go to the US too except if one of them would be destroyed so bad that he would even turn down the millions at an immediate rematch cause he just won't want it no more...

I'm not sure if dude could make mid-fight adjustments and such, the only time I've seen him not getting his way easily was against Fonseca and he got sluggish there trying to force a knockout. Eventually he did but didn't look good in the process.
But maybe it's just something about Fonseca lol, neither him nor Farmer looked good against that dude.
