I like Usyk, but people are acting like he schooled a Prime Lewis and Klitschko...

This Usyk fanboy says Daniel Dubois is better than Ali and Frazier

Serrano won that second fight and it was quite obvious. Taylor came back into the fight down the stretch, but coming back into it doesn't win you the fight.

It wasn't a close, tricky fight to score, Serrano was a mile ahead until the last couple if rounds and Taylor salvaged some pride...

His endurance is good in this era, but who's he up against?

AJ is notorious for having bad stamina, Fury is a 270lb blubbersauraus who pretty much kept pace with Usyk although he got a bit tired at the end.

Outside that who have we had, Zhang? Cheeseburger Ruiz?

...

[NihonJim]

Don't get me wrong, AJ and Fury are solid heavyweight champions.

But, AJ and Fury were not long standing dominant champions when Usyk beat them in competitive but clear points wins.

AJ it's very obvious never recovered from the Ruiz ko, he looked terrible against Pulev the...

Well Inoue has been messed about by Goodman 3x now and him and the team have decided the show must go on.

Nobody world class is going to step in with that little prep time

So good on Kim for stepping up and letting the show go ahead because it'd be very hard to find any willing...

If Joyce can still apply pressure, last time they fought Jalalov did not respond well to it mentally so it could be interesting.

I remember watching the show as a kid in the cold, dark united kingdom.

I liked Sergio, he seemed a humble and intelligent guy, I remember that Peter Manfredo seemed to be the one they wanted to win, so much so they even brought him back in after he lost to Alfonso Gomez. They did this...

He's still live vs Joshua in my opinion because Joshua is almost equally as washed. That's probably his best option is to try and get that fight because it's not like he's got time to work his way back into title contention at 40 years old with his reflexes getting worse by the day.

[NihonJim]

Nyika is typical of NZ fighters, he has some attributes and talent but is behind where he should be technically, living in an isolated part of the world with cage fighters for sparring isn't good. He was training for the Olympics by doing laps of a supermarket car park at night, that's not a joke....

[NihonJim]

Not worth it to upgrade from the PS5 for me.

Mostly I'm still playing PS4 games on that, I think the best looking game I played on PS5 was the last of us remake.

There's just not enough games that need the extra power in the PS5 pro. I'll wait for the PS6.

I agree, HBO was class, they knew how to make fights feel big.

DAZN, ESPN and the rest just don't match up, the production quality isn't anywhere near what HBO used to put out....

[NihonJim]

Haymon killed showtime.

HBO sunk a lot of money into the likes of Andre Berto and people like that. After the Mayweather/Pacquiao debacle the sport had really been rebuilding ever since.

Back in the day on HBO you had Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Marquez, Alvarez coming through,...

[NihonJim]

By the same token there are those that say that Hrgovic just got his tactical approach totally wrong against Dubois and that AJ was finished mentally etc etc.

I think both fighters are in decent form and Parker has the ability to present Dubois some stylistic challenges he hasn't seen for...

[NihonJim]

Hunter was smoking Bakole BEFORE the injury.

Bakole had one good moment when he rocked hunter but hunter came back and was lighting him up, Bakole was also gassing out, then his shoulder went.

It wasn't a freak injury like Vitali vs Byrd, Hunter was winning before Bakole got...

[NihonJim]

In this day and age one good win at heavyweight is enough to turn you into the Boogeyman.

I don't forget that Michael Hunter fight, Bakole looked like a basic plodder and that was BEFORE the injury

People need to stop getting carried away, Bakole is a decent prospect and...

[NihonJim]

He could start with Michael hunter if he's serious...

[NihonJim]

I think he's got a very good chance against dubois
