    I don't know how to explain it, but I don't see AJ landed on Fury the way Wilder has I their trilogy of fights.

    Fury will be able to read him like an open book and AJ will have nowhere to hide either as Fury can get at him and reach him with his movement for such a big lad.

    AJ tried to keep his distance against Uysk who isn't as heavy handed as Fury appears to be since he's been under Kronk gym...how AJ plans on avoiding Fury is a mystery because even if he's all muscle.

    If he comes face to face with Fury, he's just gonna get weighed down and taken out like Wilder was in second fight

    Was looking forward to Shields vs Marshall but it's off! At least UFC will be on tonight.

    I don’t think Fury ever seriously wanted the fight back Joshua, on this occasion at least.

    Rumoured to be fighting Charr now - a bloke who’s been shot four times and had hip surgery. Joke fight.

    Fury is a bizarre character I do think people are wising up to his *, * stirring and empty call outs

    Another of Joe Gallaghers men get battered senseless..

    Does any of his fighter's win anymore?

    Morrion was tipped for big thing's in his matchroom day's but he was blown away there..

    Sounds like Fury/Joshua deffo happening as well..

    Mon the GGG.

    Deserves a win in this trilogy seeing as he was robbed in the first fight particularly.

    Don't rate this fight..

    Golovkin was robbed before but too old and slow now. Fancy Canelo to stop him..

    Aye probably heart over head mate.

    Choking for him to win though to avenge the robbery.

    This. GGG is well past it, Canelo isn't daft, he knows he's a level above and has the beating of him.

    GGG should chuck it now, never gonna reach the pinnacle and never beating Canelo.

    * because is I do think if he got to him years ago, in his peak, he would have done a Bivol on him.

    Fury because he’s n01 now undefeated and pull in most money now us as fans can see what’s happening usyk come out and said fury ducked him to offer Joshua fight ….. fury being the loud mouth that he usually can be has come out claiming they offered usyk dec 13 and he ran and says Joshua still has not signed the contract offered

    Who we fancy for tonight ? Joyce for me, possibly even a stoppage later on. Don't rate Parker at all, has had more than enough chances and hasn't impressed once.

    Think so ? Andy Lee being in there is only thing that gives me the feeling he could do something.

    He froze against AJ, looked pish against Ruiz, got bullied off Whyte and looked * against Chisora. He flatters to deceive for me, massively.

    Joyce is ponderous and slow, but he has good engine and will not go down.

    Think Andy Lee is huge here..

    He's one of the quickest heavyweights about and has the speed. Maybe no that one punch power but still dangerous..

    He almost had Whyte sparked out to be fair..

    He did freeze against Joshua who at the time would've smashed Joyce..

    His engine and chin is key. If Parker can get in and hit that chin often....which I expect...then he can win it. Does he have the strength to hold out against this painful but big slogger..

    I agree with Parker having the quick hands etc. Unless Lee has worked miracles with him though, he'll be same as old, he's so hesitant to let his hands go and go for it. If he had any bottle he would have destroyed Whyte, instead he let him bully him across the ring, and I can see Joyce manhandling him here.

    Joyce will eat punches for fun, he always does, but I can see him walking Parker down.
