Would be quite interested in this fight if it wasn’t in Saudi Arabia.

Undercard has been brilliant so far.

[Corrogate]

fucking boooooored as fuck. fucking start already.

This has been a pedestrian, but quite enjoyable HW contest. Canvas needs drying out though.

you bastards will call the safety car out for anything

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

It was like two pensioners going at it.

 

You still awake @Ry ?

 

This fight is tough to call. Usyk is a magnificent boxer, but AJ I do feel doesn't get the credit he deserves and could catch him. I kinda like both guys too, but I'm going with an early AJ stoppage.

[ilpostino]

I don't know how you can score that 115-112 to Hrgovic.

MVP's fighting Mike Perry on BKFC tonight. Kind of interesting.

 

I just watched this. It was interesting in a depressing way. MVP won easily. The judges somehow declared it a draw. So he has to go back out when completely gassed to fight another round to decide it. Loses the "bonus round" which never should have happened and so the whole fight.

 

Not the best advert for that bare knuckle shite. I will never be watching again.

Yeah, thought his best possible result was a draw.

 

Backed Usyk in 8, although wouldn’t be mad if Joshua wins to set-up the Fury fight. Fury would dismantle AJ, but a HW fight on that level would be huge for British boxing. Make it a proper showcase for some up-and-coming talent on the undercard too.

Nah, it is hideous mate.

 

Anyway, fight time. LFG. Gotta feel nervous as fuck for AJ, y'know. Hoping this is a way more competitive.

[Straps]

Are they piping in crowd noise? Either into the actual arena or on this stream. Sounds like more excitement than there actually looks.

[glb]

Did AJ’s corner really just tell him he’s three rounds up?

[Corrogate]

Nah, this is a buzz.

[Wallpaper]

They’re doing him no favours lying to him about winning rounds, he needs to go and try to knock him out.

 

it’s the same as last time Joshua to tentative and is going to get picked apart eventually.

[Adrock]

Could have sworn I heard Joshua say "he is clever".

 

Anything big thrown by Joshua is missing or hitting gloves/arms.

[Corrogate]

Usyk actually looks a little bit miffed in there tbh, see he's been tagged up a bit on the face already.

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

Joshua is doing much better than the first fight. He just needs that lucky punch to catch.

[Adrock]

Think usyk is winning 4-2.

[Corrogate]

Aye, think he's gonna start finding his rhythm now.

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

AJ is throwing nothing. It's like a repeat of the first fight.

[Adrock]

Usyk is far too slick.

[skadupuk]

5-3 Usyk, with AJ taking round 8 by being a but more useful.

 

AJ needs to really lean in to this fight to stand a chance.

[skadupuk]

Fucckkkkk

 

What a round for AJ

[glb]

Great round from AJ, then Usyk immediately answers with his best round of the fight.

[Adrock]

Those were two excellent rounds. The Sky co commentator is really annoying.

[skadupuk]

Yep, the momentum was lost before it began.

 

I have it 6-4 Usyk

 

AJ needs an enormous 2 rounds.

I'm now 8-3. Usyk.
