    Goosebump material, not ashamed to say I’ve been googling how to get to a Rebs night since his walk out.

    Missed the first 4 rounds (partial 4th), but from what I saw Ugas won the 2nd half. Was close though.

    That was beyond sad.

    I saw the pre-‘fight’ footage of Evander working out and I hoped he was just sandbagging. He wasn’t. His motor skills are shot to pieces.

    I’m sick of these freak shows.

    A 58 year old shouldn't be given a licence, simple as.

    Its properly disgusting. It’s one thing seeing those Youtubers go at it in their 20’s - never gonna be my thing but largely ‘safe’.

    An old man with shot motor skills and slurred speech getting beaten up is sickening though.

    It must be the sporting Da in me, but I’m getting tired of all this classless * in combat sports.

    Whether its gobshitery or weigh-in handbags - it’s a * embarrassment to what used to be a noble sport.

    Aye, don't mind a bit of banter in the run up, even if there's actual real dislike and intensity to it, but all these daft scuffles etc, load of pish.

    Hope Usyk pulls it off Saturday but I don't give him a chance..

    Doesn't have the power and won't be able to hold Joshua's..

    Defo the "Da" in you mate as that sort of malarkey has been part of the fight game for as long as I can remember. It's not been noble for a long time.

    From Ali turning up at training sessions and the weigh in giving it large, Lennox and Tyson rolling about,,.....totally agree its classless and unnecessary.

    I keep feeling the big Fury / Aj fight could become the Usyk / Wilder fight.

    Just this wee niggling thought, even had me checking Skybet for the underdog double.

    Aj looked * btw.

    Thought he looked like one of those who's gone through an extreme weight loss programme and had over trained. He just looked ill.

    Through size and natural power AJ has it, but Uysk has the stamina to chase him in way that Ruiz couldn't, so if AJ is planning on sidestepping and hopping about the ring Uysk could catch him on a misstep.

    Gonna say Uysk on points (my heart ruling there)

    Logic perhaps dictates that AJ should be getting the decision though
