He's a good cruiserweight, struggled against chisora , beat a washed up joshua and got saved by a dodgy decision tonight

Predictable. Fish eyes makes another million from a mis-match. Boxing is horrible

To be fair Dubois has gone down like a sack of shit twice from average shots from a blown up cruiserweight

Dubois probably didn’t deserve to win that fight but he absolutely should have. It was a disgraceful decision and he has been robbed of the greatest moment of his career it’s a disgrace.

Usyk had his shorts high, if his shorts are above the belly button then the belt of the shorts should be fair game.

The problem with boxing is it’s not really a fair sport, the top fighters choose who and when they will fight to best suit them. Then if no one is knocked out it’s down to the opinion of someone who the winner is.

Dubois did better than I thought he would.
This shorts business is a joke - taking away genuinely targetable body punches. Usyk's shorts over his ribs.
Usyk isn't going to fight Fury while he's picking up big money from next tier heavyweights.

Massive fan of Usyk but thought he was a bit lucky with low blow call (sounds 50/50 from various boxers and pundits views) Dubois knocked him out or at least hurt him badly to the body. Usyk clearly the better boxer as expected but shows he gets a bit whiney when hit to the body

Yeah no idea what I was thinking here, went out straight after the match so probably couldn't see straight at that point.

Just got to take this one on the chin (or the bollocks seeing as I seem to think they're quite close together)

One of the reasons he's ducking Fury. Fury's body punches are murderous.

Always the 'puncher's chance' i suppose but he's going to be very lucky to get near winning this one i fear.

Seems he got alot closer than i thought he would. All the controversy inspired me to watch Golota smashing Riddick Bowe's ballbag to bits (twice). Absolute masterclass in that, admittedly niche, area of boxing

Hmmm, yeah…not sure about his ‘I was secretly squirrelling it away in a trust for Ricky and his family’ argument

The non payment/incorrect payment of billy graham was disgusting. Ricky comes across as a decent guy though.


*Spoiler alert*
I was hoping the end would be him and billy meeting up

Yeah, you don’t not speak to your parents for 8 years if it was all an honest mistake.

Ricky was just caught in the middle and had to then deal with losing one of his best mates, his relationship with his parents and his boxing career. No wonder his head went.

Madness that his Old Man didn’t think Billy Graham wouldn’t find out how much Ricky was paid and that he should have ‘been grateful’ for Ricky walking into his gym.

Billy’s contract would have had a set % clause and as he said it’s not hard to find out what the purse was and therefore what he was owed.

Have to say Ricky’s ex-missus came across really well and clearly still has a lot of love for him.

I was surprised it didn’t show the reunion either as I am sure they made their peace a couple of years ago but maybe they didn’t…….

Just to add it was great to see the build up, clips and aftermath of the Tsyzu fight and it is still one, if not the best, atmospheres I have been in.

Great, great night of British boxing!!

Nah, he got badly knocked out last time so did the right thing. Be interesting to see what smith says about ankles and if they were an issue (don’t think it would’ve changed result)

Should be, just too big. I think pound for pound Usyk is top three but fury’s a giant and will use his advantages. Great if it finally happens though

I'm not sure it would be comfortable. Think it will go all the way.

Just can't see how usyk beats him , goes the distance fury will win on points easily , that extra 7 inch reach he will jab his head off .. thought usyk was shite against chisora and dubois

Fury is a boxer the other heavyweights Usyk has fought really weren't - they were fighters. Usyk hasn't faced a big man with really good boxing skills and a boxing brain. I think Fury wins comfortably.
Sounds a bit daft but I genuinely believe Fury can reach higher levels - he's always done enough to win the fight in front of him.
