25 minutes of leg wrapping isn’t fun to watch even for those who appreciate grappling. As I said, phenomenal at what he does, but it’s very boring to watch.

It’s funny, that’s what most people come back and say about MMA, I watch it for the versatility of fighting, but I can still be bored of a fighter grapples for 25 minutes. Very boring fighter.

Dana said the same about Tyrone tbf, said he’s an absolute bore to watch due to his lack of willingness to strike, I guess he should go into boxing.

I and many disagree with you

Khabib does big numbers

Woodley does nothing. He doesn’t engage at all, grappling or stand up

There’s a difference

Absolutely no issue with the disagreement. Though, many are also in agreement that Khabib is a boring fighter; he doesn’t do big numbers for his entertaining fight style.

Regardless, a shame he’s retired without smashing Ferguson to pieces. Hate that cringeball.

Pete, I have long stated that Joyce is a live runner in this fight but nobody else seems to give him a chance. He is a massive man 6'6", 19st and keeps coming forward, he is 10-0 with 9KOs with the last three fights being against respectable HWs. Dubois is much younger, has the higher ceiling but has a suspect chin and has fought nobody (Gorman probably his biggest win). I 'think' that DD will have the better career but this fight may be a little early.

At the odds DD 2/9 and JJ 9/2, I would much prefer to back JJ. Even if DD does lose he can come again.

I guess y'all backed the wrong horse then

Looks like Ken's still winning even without being here...

Can Pulev pull off a Povetkin?

Can Pulev pull off a Povetkin?

If it was an old Anthony Joshua I'd say Pulev would have got knocked the fuck out within 5 rounds. But Joshua is a different boxer after his Ruiz 1 loss. And I think he's genuinely weary of the strong likelihood of Pulev pulling off a Povetkin and will come prepared to wear him down.

Don't get me wrong I massively rate Pulev as a boxer but if he doesn't knock Joshua clean out then Joshua will outbox him every round just like Dillian Whyte did against Povetkin.

It's on apparently, presuming Canelo gets through the next man.

Can't wait. This is going to be one of the best fights of the year.

Canelo all day long! Billy is good and I like him but it’s just never gonna happen.

Nah, I reckon BJS's defensive style of boxing is going to expose Clenelo big time. He doesn't fare well against skilful fighters and is too heavily reliant on PEDS and bent judges to get him through.

Big upset coming for Alveroid fanboys.

 

[GhostOf2Can]

I think Canelo takes it by decision or late stoppage (11th or 12th)

 

[Greedy Ben]

BJS will try to stay mobile but I doubt he has the power to stop Alvarez who will be looking to land hurtful bodyshots to slow BJS down or stop him.
Good fight for BJS compared to his latest offerings he's lucky to get such a big name and payday.

Fight week, loads of dramas behind the scenes but looks like its going ahead now. I cant stand clenelo so i hope BJJ can do a miracle. Wont be easy to get a points win with 3 yank judges with 70k mexicans in the crowd though

I'm guessing BJS wanted a bigger ring
