Ashton Yate

Fury is certainly fired up for it now! He's not playing it calm anymore! Usyk not affected by it at all though, ice cold! Great weight in that, buzzing for tomorrow now!

I don't know if anyone else feels the same but over the last 12-18 months or so I have become tired of listening to Tyson Fury and his antics, but the way that he has handled himself recently has been a real breath of fresh air

Listening to him yesterday and his SSN interviews he seems to actually be talking with his head and none of this usual, "Going to knock him out", "Sausage" etc

Agreed. When he drops all that nonsense he comes across as a very knowledgeable, calm, respectful guy, and much more likeable. I know all that stuff is for the cameras and the social media etc, and he isn't really like that at all in 'real life', but much prefer seeing him in this serious/respectful state.

I'm tempted to buy this one purely for fear of the link pausing at the wrong moment 

Exactly my thoughts. Would be fuming if the link dropped/buffered just as the fight is getting going! For a huge one off event like this I think I might suck it up and pay the money, just to be 100% sure.

There will be masses and masses of streams of every variety for this one I'm sure.

Yea I've got not worries about the accessibility of the streams, my worry is the stability of them. Often they can buffer/crash, especially as the main event starts and traffic builds, and I'd be livid if it starting messing about during this one! This is the big one, and I don't know whether to risk it or take the plunge with the PPV as a one-off! 

For all those with IPTV, are we expecting streams of the fight to be stable this weekend or would it be best to pay for the PPV just to be sure? Would hate to see buffering for this one!

Asking for a friend obviously!

Inoue card live on Sky now. Main fight Ringwalk due around 12:30pm.

Yeah, at the Tokoyo Dome- where Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson- with a 55k crowd.

Happliy a) it's on Sky and b) it's a bank holiday!

Happy days! Nice little bit of viewing over breakfast on a Bank Holiday Monday!

The mega grudge match between Inoue and Nery for The Monster's undisputed titles 12 days before Fury Usyk as well.

Another belting fight! Is that gunna be 10am on a Monday morning? Assume it's in Japan?

Isn't Josh Taylor v Catterall 2 the week in between too?

You're right, it is. What a fortnight of boxing that is going to be! Can't wait! 

Some line up for 1st June.

Deontay Wilder-Zhilei Zhang
Fillip Hrgovic-Daniel Dubois 
Ray Ford-Nick Ball
Ammo Williams-Hamzah Sheeraz
Craig Richards-Willy Hutchinson

And that's even before the undisputed main event, Beterbiev v Bivol.

Fury v Usyk 18th May and then this 2 weeks later. Can't wait! 

Knew it! 

Think there was a bit of a commercial decision in that decision too. Be a lot of clamour for a rematch.

Shame not to see a winner after they both gave so much, but on the other hand neither deserved to really lose either.

Just now, Super said:

Brilliant fight. Draw would be fair imo.

Agreed. Absolute war! So much blood on the canvas and both fighters absolutely dead at the end and gave it absolutely everything. Think a draw would be fair.

Decent scrap this so far not best in quality though!

Agreed. Becoming a proper scrap this. Wardley is a bit erratic, but has that wildcard element to him. Fraze the better technically.

If anyone is not going today and isn't able to sell their tickets, so seats are going empty, would appreciate a shout as I've got tickets but in Lower Dolman and the rain is not going to do us any favours there! If there are any unused seats elsewhere with better protection from the rain we will happily keep the seats warm for you! Thanks.

Went to Cow and Sow on Queen Square last night using First Table offer (50% off food bill). Was bloody lovely! 3 course meal for 4 people, including loads of sides, £5 supplement for steaks and service charge, came to just £140. Saved over £100 with the First Table app. Brilliant offer. And to top it all off, on a Monday they allow you to bring your own wine for only £5 per bottle corkage charge, so that saved us a fortune on drinks too!

Have you got a link please?

Dhgate

I used a seller called ul080512 and was very good. Paid £11 per shirt, with free delivery. Delivered in about 2-3 weeks.

Mine arrived from China last week! Nice shirts. 

Anyone been to Cow & Sow in centre? Any good?

Encouraging signs for Tuesday with the Southampton game yesterday? Yes they won in the end, but by all accounts didn't play well and Huddersfield really took the game to them. Huddersfield were 2-0 and 3-2 up, and Southampton needed three late goals to get the win. Shows that they are not completely unplayable.

Surely the acts already announced are the 'bigger' acts too, who will be on the main stage, which means that the other acts to be announced will likely be 'smaller' acts for the small stage? Can't see any of those already announced doing the small stage.

Yea decent line up tonight. Should be a decent fight between Buatsi and Azeez.

Anyone interested in Conor Benn in Vegas too? On at the same time right?

Bivol v Beterbiev on 1st June too, with the 5 Matchroom fighters v 5 Queensbury fighters on the undercard.

Fury v Usyk rearranged for 18th May

Anyone know if the game is scheduled to be broadcast by any overseas channels?

Perfect. Thank you.
