Another good card in a month or so with the 5 vs 5 card.

Parkers' last two opponents going at it with Wilder vs Zhang.

 

[Cces]

First undisputed champ crowned this century!

Great undisputed fight, I watched the full card, some good fights.
A draw may have been a fair result, although no complaints. Usyk is a freakish talent.

 

[snake77]

An amazing achievement by Usyk. Undisputed at cruiserweight and then moved up to heavyweight and managed to become undisputed there.

I'm not liking some of the talk I have seen leading up to this fight that the IBF would strip the winner as they had a contender waiting for a a mandatory.

Age has caught up with Fury, gee he has lost a lot of speed. Still an insanely talented boxer though. Shame really that in todays arena that you have to wait so long for these fights which sees someone really old fighting.

Is that the end of AJ?

Dubois boxes without much fear?

He commands so much money I doubt he's done.
96k at Wembley.

Good fight, Dubois dominated but AJ went down swinging in the end.

Not much else beats heavy weight boxing for drama.

 

[defensivebomb]

Looking at AJs record, he’s lost a few. But none of those guys were bums

I’d imagine he has some life left. But this one will hurt

That was a hell of a fight and a great performance by Dubois.

Dubois turned his career around pretty quickly. A few fights ago the commentators were questioning his heart. His two wins leading up to this fight were good performances.

Joshua can still come back from this. Sure age isn't on his side but he's still a big draw. If he takes the immediate rematch and it ends the same way it could be different.

Anyone interested in the young Russian born NZ raised Andrei Mikhailovich vs Alimkhanuly?

I don't think Andrei can out do this guy who looks very impressive from my quick YouTube research.

I'm hoping Andrei can do it but

Martin Bakole (6ft 6 and 300lbs) claims to be the most avoided man in heavyweight boxing after being a sparring partner for AJ, Fury, Usyk and Dubois, with the last 2 this list being dropped twice. Uysk he dropped with body punches and couldn't continue - Daniel Dubois quit after being dropped twice (2023) and quitting.....like he does. I'm looking foward to the light heavy clash of undefeated boxers Bivol & Beterbiev, both undefeated with Bivol putting away Canelo 2 years ago and Beterbiev 20 fights with 20 KO's. I'm with Dimitry Bivol for this one!

 

[defensivebomb]

We are actually quite spoiled in the heavyweight division right now. We’ve never had it so good in terms of competitiveness, frequency of even bouts and upsets.

Sure, it isn’t the heyday of the 90s that had generational talents, but the top 5 or so boxers can all give each other a run for their money. And with Saudi backing (despite the sport washing), we are actually getting frequent multi-billed bouts

 

[Tianaki]

Bivol v Beterbiev?

 

[france]

i'd rather watch Naoya Inoue

That Beterbiev vs Bivol fight was intriguing.

Often the power puncher isn't the busy fighter. Instead, they are picking their moments to throw. Beterbiev was the aggressor and kept it up for 12 rounds.

Bivol did some nice work countering.

There was a stat at one point in the fight that Beterbiev through twice as many punches but Bivol landed twice as many.

I was okay with the first two scorecards which were a draw and a close decision. I could also see a case for it being close the other way.

Bivol probably should have been a bit busier towards the end of rounds where he was just putting his guard up and moving. A few of those rounds if he was busier he may have swayed the judges.

Good chance it could be rigged but tyson vs jake paul on Netflix today. Undercards on now. Quality is impressive for their first livestream.

I thought it could’ve been rigged too until seeing Iron Mike this week.
He looks likes he’s morphed into the savage he used to be.
Mentally I mean, unless he can KO Paul in the first minute I think Mikes getting knocked out.
This fight should never be happening imo, 58 years old against a roided up bloke 30 years younger

Is the fight live on netflix?

Is the fight live on netflix?

Yes

 

[snake77]

Netflix with the wrestling live shows have it with the WWE production team who have it locked in.

This has been pretty funny.

Holyfield couldn't hear any of the questions. The stadium owners mike didn't work.

Did you guys hear Mauro Ranallo before the co-main event talking to the broadcast guys say "this is f'n frustrating".

Then to top it off after Tyson gets interviewed we get a shot of his 58 butt checks.
