I really aint a fan of either one of these guys, but am I the only one who doesn't get why Fury is the favorite in so many eyes against Joshua? I legitimately think that Joshua is gonna beat him rather one sidedly actually. Is there something I'm not seeing when I analyze this fight?

What is there not to get? Stylistically, Fury has the right style to our point him.

He really doesn't though, at all bruh. :heh:

Joshua was a gold medalist, he knows how to box bro. He isn't gonna bite on those feints and stutter steps Fury likes to do that had Wilder second guessing himself. If Fury tries to just bulldoze AJ like he did Wilder in the second fight he will get stopped EARLY, my biggest knock against AJ is that he likes to close the gap on the shorter cagier figjter because he likes to fight on the inside, he is one of the few euro fighters around who actually can fight on the inside even though he is big as fukk, he just chose to do that unwisely to Ruiz and underestimated Ruiz handspeed and paid the price for it. Fury's strengths are in his upper body and head movement not necessarily his footwork. AJ will struggle against good footwork, he has seen upper body and head movement before bro, and unlike Wilder, AJ will beat Fury's body to pieces to open him up(which I fully expect AJ to consistently attack that big wide open target that is Fury's midsection all night). I don't know bro I just don't get why Fury is the favorite I run this fight through my head and I see AJ winning like 7 times out of 10, and the only way Fury is gonna win is if he is on his bike the whole fight and even then he gonna have to be A1 with it.

Fury definitely only winning staying out of range and pot shotting for 12 rounds. But AJ is better in range fighter with more power. And been in fights with better competition and can box also. I think AJ would be more vulnerable to Wilder catching him with a wild shot and stopping him but I like his chances a lot vs Fury. Fury is not that great of a puncher and I'd bet AJ team will be all over the gloves to make sure it's no funny business as with Wilder.

Fury done had too many fights where he's struggled or looked bad vs fighters he shouldn't. Basically should have been stopped by wallin with that cut. Fury fights down to his competition but to me even in that first Wilder fight he wasn't impressive seemed like dude was just happy to make it to 12 rounds and got dropped 2x in that fight. I think AJ will place his shots and break Fury down gradually.

Just caught up on Stephan Shaw vs Pinchuk. Shaw is good, interested in his career. Showed polished skills and picked his shot the way HWs usually can’t.

definitely going to rewatch the following for later




i watched these fights after watching that toxic ass malcolm vs marie movie

valdez vs quigg is just as brutal as i remember it...valdez left a lot of himself in that ring that night..if berchelt comes in looking big as fukk like he did against the jobber he fought last, its going to be a slaughter

teixeira vs adames was still a great fukking fight..i dont think castano has the type of power to put teixeira down or stay down but teixeira cuts too easy..as long as castano doesn't get into a phone booth fight with him, he can cut dude to shreds with a jab and make the ref stop it

Not sure how far they will go yet but I already see more fantasy in Anderson, Shaw and Coffie (an outlier because his age but w/e) than in Breazeale or Washington as far as US HWs go

Lmao.. This is dazn promotion

The quicker we can get DAZN out of boxing and all those fighters dispersed on FOX, ESPN and Showtime, the better boxing will be.

DAZN has stepped up their online promo a bit, I will admit, but between crap like this and their production quality it really is B level stuff.
