BUTOR Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I don’t see such a problem. At least they’re at the same stage in their career. Much rather this than a champion in a ‘warm up fight’ or something similar. As for PPV, just look how many replies this typically dormant thread has got since the announcement. Personalities sell over quality of match ups these days. Boxing fans will mostly say they won’t tune in but will on the night if they’ve nothing better to do, and the fight still carries some form of casual audience, which is more than what most champions manage. If I cried for lost fights or for fights not happening during fighters peaks half of Bristol would be underwater. Boxing is a *** of a sport and industry, just have to enjoy the fights as and when they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to pay for decent fights, but not cash outs. And as for dormant thread, it must be in the top 5 of replies on the entire board? It just gets a bit busier when the casuals pitch in- the sort of people who are genuinely excited by this fight.

Stortz Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Evening chaps, locked and loaded! You know it's a poor card when Bradley Skeete is in the chief support but Yarde Arthur has to be better than last time surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stortz Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Ah man, this sucks. Poor Skeete will struggle to make it to the end now. Sheeraz had no business hitting him twice on the deck. That's it, Sheeraz is on my shit list. Cheating bastard. Skeete had rolled back the years too!

Skeete was too honest for his own good. The last punch especially was ridiculous and clearly hurt Skeete. I agree, with your opponent already on the canvas, disqualification would've been fair. Even more absurd when you consider on the same bill a fight was stopped because a boxer got punched in the face, whilst on his feet!

Skeete was too honest for his own good. Fair play, Sheeraz has offered Skeete a rematch despite not being contractually obliged to do so. Dom Ingle was drafting a complaint to the board though, and maybe they would've ruled a no contest, in any event. But fair play to Hamzah for stepping up imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Tyson doesn't seem exactly keen to fight him. Whyte allegedly ko'd Tyson in sparring. I don't massively rate Whyte but he will swing some punches and has ko power, so we shall see. Complacency an enemy to Fury, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
