moogsy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 4 hours ago, Arshavin said: Aye he's been out for so long, first one has to be essentially a competitive sparring match. Next fight will be a big step up to a ranked fighter imo. Cant be expected to jump in at the deep end considering the problems he's had etc Not expecting him to be getting in with any of the top guys straight away but surely he could have found someone from his own weight category who’s not almost a foot shorter than him? The guy will pose literally no challanges for Fury and is likely to get blown out in a round or 2. Same sort of caliber as David Haye’s first 2 opponents when he came back, didn’t do him any favours in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some journeyman heavy weights out there he couldve picked. Although it might be Frank Warren calling the shots on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamishMcGonagall Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Jason Easton has had his licence revoked after accepting an assault charge. Seems to have been a drunken altercation with a boy on market street last year. Daft mistake to make would be an understatement. Had really enjoyed watching his last few fights and he was due to fight on the undercard of Taylor v Postol in a few weeks, so it's a shame, but only himself to blame.

The guy is 5'10 and not even a top 50 cruiserweight Embarrassing the way he goes on about being able to beat Joshua etc. easily then pulls out an opponent like this. AJ will will take Fury out fairly easily imo. Itll be very pleasing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arshavin Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If you compare their fights with Klitschko respectively, Fury totally outboxed him and Vlad barely landed a glove in anger on him but AJ was taken through the mill by him. Also, AJ has made hard work of opponents like Whyte and Parker. I like both but if Fury can get back to sharpness I can see AJ really struggling to beat Fury. A lot of people seem to be led by their view of Fury during his problems rather than him as a world class boxer ( him being a bit of an arse aside, but I like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aii he has been on social media. He has accepted it and fully admitted his mistake. Feel for him tbh. We all **** up but don't feel he deserves to lose his licence. Get his head Down and fight to have it reinstated if he can. He is is by all means a shit hot footballer as well. Better than his brother Dylan easten.

Think he is about 19 and half stone now and against Klitschko he was 17 stone. He has shed 8 stone which is impressive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit it’s taken a severe dent as Yoel Romero missed weight and fight is no longer a title fight. Second time he has missed weight for a title fight and suspect it’s the last time we see him at that weight andbhes probably kissed goodbye to any title run. CM Punk/Phil Brooke’s also returns to octagon for freak show element, Anyway my picks Robert Whitaker RDA Anderson Tuivasa CM Punk CM Punk !! Honestly I really hope he does though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 6 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Yeah I know. However, the other guy is a photographer or something and not a legit fighter. It’s a much more level playing field for him I suspect. It would suit a lot of people if punk got the victory and maybe the match up reflects that. i kind of admire Punk, I think he’s delusional but he’s pursued his dream and given it 100%. Fair play to him and like you I hope he wins. Who you got for tonight? Yoel looked a state at that weight in so what became a pick em fight for me has me favour Whittaker strongly(still had him slight fav anyway) I really hope RDA ****s Covington but I hope that if RDA does win it doesn't convolute that into a title shot for Conor because Woodley ain't fit soon enough to face RDA. I really can't take to Holm so for that reason i'll go Anderson Tuivassa by Ko that guy looks a bit of beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like Fury has become a parody of himself, people seem more interested than him dancing about like a buffoon and talking shite than the actual boxing. There is no way he is going to get back to his previous levels after ballooning so much in weight, his timing looks way off. Reckon Joshua and Wilder both spark him.

He was probably wanting to get rounds in and didn't look interested in badly hurting the boy. He will lose another 2 stone I reckon, get that excess skin removed and look back to his best.

Ukraine have some fantastically talented boxers coming out of the amateurs - with Lomachenko and now Usyk really impressing me over the last few years.

Though I would like Till to win. I quite lie the guy whereas Woodley always seems to have a lot of chips on his shoulders. You can’t deny Woodley skills and power.
