Let's give him some credit. He has always stepped - up when needed. This is what he loves, centre of attention. I hope he wins and then plays with AJ, after that, he retires "unbeaten." Who was the last Heavyweight to do that? I remember Holmes getting robbed against Spinks, after his remark about Marciarno's "Jock - strap". Poor old Larry, that "Jab" was a thing of beauty. His chin wasn't bad either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UpTheVilla26 Posted May 17 Popular Post Share Posted May 17 Hopefully Fury gets knocked out right in his fat, stupid gob. The bloke is an absolute bellend like the rest of his family. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like the banter that Mohammed Ali sent out about Joe Frazier. But most importantly, he said if there’s anyone you wanted down in a trench with you, it would be Joe Frazier.

sheepyvillian Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Of all the annoying adjectives that get thrown around, I think "Bellend" might just be the worse. Terrible from the mouth of a female. I'm suddenly getting flashbacks of my Cell - mate watching Jeremy Kyle with unabashed excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really took the rivalry personal. I don't think he ever forgave Ali for the "Uncle Tom" jibes. Even though Ali kind of regretted, later in life, a lot of those comments. Every time I think of that first fight, I picture that coat worn by Frank Lucas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali lacked a bit of class when it came to Joe I'm afraid. Larry Homes, what a boxer he was, made it look easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) With the two main fights on the undercard, I expect Cordina to beat Cacace fairly easily. Opetaia vs Briedis could be quite good, depending on how much Briedis has left considering he hasn't fought since Opetaia beat him nearly two years ago.

I know, I was actually after more details because I wasn’t really following closely at the time. Do we think he wasn’t ready? Any chance they got it delayed on purpose? I’m curious even though it’s irrelevant. It’ll certainly make for a better fight now than it would’ve then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Fury is far too experienced and clever, in a boxing sense, too underestimate Usyk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
