The Boxing Thread

I thought Shields won it quite well probably like 8-2 or 7-3, there was 2/3 she did less. Marshall was aggressive and worked hard and threw a lot but to me didn't look to have much quality about her where as Shields did look very technical and a level or two above.

 

Got up thinking switch on wilder fight, too late. 3 punches and over, lol

 

Just watched the Wilder / Helenius 'highlights'... deeply suspicious KO!

 

Good win for Wilder last night, enhances the heavyweight division.

Anything between Wilder, Joshua, Fury and Usyk that we haven’t already seen (multiple times) is exciting.

 

Don't think so, there's a video from ringside and you can clearly see and hear the punch land.
Helenius is pish man, the KO was inevitable.

 

One of the worst thing's I've seen

If you want a laugh this morning, search his name on twitter. Been slaughtered through the night

 

Haha, what?! I just watched it and he smashes him full in the face like lightning. He has freak punching power at heavyweight. His only kryptonite has been Fury's freak jaw and powers of recovery (2nd fight he was just pish).

 

Posted that after only a quick swatch of the highlights.

Wilder was going backwards, his hand / arm wasn't in-line, his muscle tone didn't seem to indicate there was much behind it, and there was definitely no legs / hips being put into the blow. TBH, it made Ali's phantom-punch against Liston look like a telegraphed haymaker!

Have seen it again and Helenius's lights do indeed seem to have genuinely gone out - which is pretty embarrassing!

 

Fury vs Chisora. Pointless fight.

 

Tyson Fury will fight Derek Chisora in their trilogy bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 3 December in London.

Fury, 34, will defend his WBC heavyweight title for the third time against a fighter he has beaten twice previously.

The Britons fought in 2014 and 2011, Fury winning comfortably on both occasions.

Fury was in talks to fight Anthony Joshua in December, but negotiations broke down between both camps.

The world champion is unbeaten in 32 fights while 38-year-old Chisora is approaching the end of his career and has three losses in his last four bouts.

Also on the card is Briton Daniel Dubois who will defend his WBA 'Regular' title against South African heavyweight Kevin Lerena.

Chisora ended a three-fight losing streak by beating Kubrat Pulev in July while Fury fights for the first time since stopping Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April.

Fury announced his retirement after that win, but has since done a U-turn and now wants to fight unified champion Oleksandr Usyk for all the main heavyweight titles next year.


Fury and Chisora were both unbeaten when they first met in the ring in 2011

What happened in the first fights?
Fury and Chisora have a long rivalry dating back to the early days of their professional careers. Both men were emerging contenders, unbeaten in 14 fights, when they first met in 2011.

Chisora was 27 at the time and the defending British and Commonwealth champion, and had seen two proposed fights with then world champion Wladimir Klitschko fall through in just eight months.

Fury, on the other hand, was just 23 and considered largely untested, making him the underdog against Chisora.

But Fury handed Chisora the first loss of his career with an assured display at Wembley Arena.

Three years later they met again, this time at the ExCel in London, with Chisora on a hot streak after five stoppage wins in a row following three bad losses to Robert Helenius, Vitali Klitschko and David Haye.

But again Fury was the better man, this time playing with Chisora by fighting in a southpaw stance before the latter's corner eventually pulled him out at the end of the 10th round.

The victory secured Fury a shot at then IBF, WBO and WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko, whom he would beat in Dusseldorf on points a year later.

There has hardly been a clamour from fans to see a third fight, but since returning from a two-year absence in 2018, Fury has repeatedly said he wanted to fight Chisora again before he retires.

 

What a pish fight..

Especially for a stadium one as well..

 

Absolute joke of a fight.

For the fans and all that

 

What an absolute mega fight and looking forward to it….. says no one ever

 

About as much anticipation for this one as a Floyd Mayweather exhibition bout! Plenty money will still change hands though!

 

Shut up you * helmet.

 

Buzzing for it.

Wilder part 4, Chisora part 4, Wilder part 5.

 

Be funny as * if Chisora smashes him.

What’s the point in it?

 

PPV £1.99

 

And that’d be overpriced, guaranteed it’ll be advertised as a big fight on normal Sky Sports subscription, no PPV. They’re no daft, and it’d be a good chance for them to try and make out like Sky Sports subscription is worth it for something outwith EPL.
