Gooner

Imagine sharing a drink out of the same glass as that guy. No way is he passing a piss test after that, have to delay it.

Joshua didn't look good until the finish. The talk of him knocking Wilder out, show him the first six rounds of this fight and he definitely will go to sleep if nothing else. Joshua is too gun shy, petrified of getting hit and for me is past his best now.

Well, I'm assuming (and thats all I can do) that Harry doesn't really want to do Spurs dirty a day before the season starts. Plus I am sure his wife is imminently about to give birth so that can't help*

The heart is fine. Its taken a battering for 30 odd years, so what's a couple more days.

I can promise you, that whilst it would be nice to win something with Harry, another season with our greatest ever player is worth more than some money we will only spunk anyway. We can deal with 'next summer' next summer.

 

*He'll go now, and this will all be bollocks.

I see where you are coming from and with your recent track record I wouldn't trust you in anyway to spend the money you'd receive for Kane wisely and likely youd end up wasting it.  Unless he has told your club he will never sign a new deal,  I'd roll the dice, keep him for another season and hope you can find a way to convince him to sign a new contract at the club. 

I actually think he stays at Spurs this summer. 

Spurs fans not taking this news well, you never know he may stay and reject a move to Bayern Munich. 

I tried to console my wife about the news today, you never won with Kane, you won't win without Kane, so nothing has really changed besides you lose 30 goals a season from your team, for some reason that didn't seem to help.

Yeah he's definitely going to be on the show. He cut a promo two weeks ago and pretty much confirmed it.

 

Cool. Thank you for letting me know. Do you know if he mentioned anything about who he may be in the ring with on this show? 

Mu apologise in advance if I'm asking this in the wrong topic, but does anyone know if any news on whether CM Punk is going to be on this show? 

I'm surprised to hear how many tickets they have already sold for this show, I didn't have any clue AEW was that popular in the UK.  Good on them though, hopefully it will turn out to be a fantastic show. 

It's a shame Rhea Ripley from what I have heard isn't on this card. Looking forward to basically every match on this card, hopefully turns out to be a lot of fun. I'd expect Reigns to retain, maybe because Jimmy Uso returns and accidentally whacks his brother with a weapon.

Great to see the Street Profits in suits, turning technically heel and being with Lashley. They've been needing a change for a while as seems like for ages they have been floundering. I wasn't sure if they would break them up and let them compete as single stars, I'm sure they will in  time but for now I'm liking this move and hopefully they'll be at the top challenging again for the tag team belts.

Always fun watching one of these MMA fighters come in to the boxing world, after years of talking about how good a boxer they are, getting the biggest paycheck they have ever received to face a YouTuber in the boxing ring and getting humbled.

Unbelievable. I'm stunned by what I just witnessed. What a performance, that was special.

I can't believe we've arrived and the fight is on tonight. It still feels a bit surreal after wanting to see it for so long and it taking years to happen, but finally we are here and it's almost upon us. I expect it to be cagey at first, both trying to figure one another out but somewhere around the halfway stage, it catches fire and ends up being a epic fight. I've gone back and forth on who wins it, I can give good reasons for why both will come out victorious, but at a push I have to just edge towards  "Bud" taking it on a very close points decision. 

Inoue was fantastic. His jab to the head and body was on point and he went in there and outboxed the boxer. I don't see at these lower weights who can beat him, only of he keeps going up in weight divisions can I ser someone maybe getting the better off him. It looks like it will be Marlon Tapales next in a unification fight, I believe Inoue wins that and then I see him going up to 126lbs to challenge the guys up there and take it from there.  He's one off if not the most exciting fighters on the planet.

Well, the reasoning for those fights not happening before 2024 have been well discussed, but you can feel free to believe that.

I will do and you feel free to believe whatever  is coming out of Frank Warren's mouth and take it as gospel. 

Fulton weighed in at 121.9lbs.

Inoue weighed in at 121.7lbs

Big fight tomorrow live on Sky Sports from 9.30am.

I'm glad I got the day off work for this one. I have been looking forward to it for months now, to have this and then Spence vs Crawford 11 days later is what it is all about and exactly what we need in boxing rather then seeing world champions ducking the biggest fights in the game to fight a novice from MMA in his first professional boxing fight. 

I think Fulton will have some success early on with his footwork and intelligence in the ring but Inoue gets to him late on and forces the stoppage between 9-10 rounds. 

I'll only believe it's happening when I see them in the ring looking at one another, but I can't wait to see Spence vs Crawford, we've waited far too long for them to get it on, but not long to go now, hopefully it's a classic.

I bet he feels like he's been chewed up and spat out. 

He getting that money. If he is feeling like that in anyway, that type of money can sort out most feelings and thoughts

It Always happens once they become a Superstar. One minute they’re plugging away working hard then Click Click Boom they’re on strike putting in transfer requests Walking Alone in training.

I can't see him doing that. He could have just ran last 12 months of his contract down and left on a free.

He's got a gob on him. 

Joining a new club for big money and then being sent out on loan for three years can do that to a player. 

Just now, Mr_Danger said:

Until he spits his dummy out.

Why would he do that after just signing new contract?

I'm happy enough with both fights but of course not the fights we all want to see. Usyk vs Fury and Wilder vs Joshua do both really need to happen. It's beginning to become ridiculous that still neither is signed or confirmed yet.

Bet Arsenal fans are drooling over this one.

I absolutely am. May actually be the best signing we've made all summer.

Havertz signed, Timber to have medical, Rice to have medical. Xhaka sold, Saliva signing new contract, Nelson signing new contract, what a summer window this has been so far for us. I hope Manchester City shining up that Premier League trophy for us, this season we at the end will take what is ours.

I should not have slept on Lopez. Conlan leaving his chin out way too much and  that right uppercut from Lopez,  brutality. Conlan was boxing good but Lopez looked menacing every time he came forward, what a finish.

Conlan By Decision 

Okolie By Decision 

Laura By Stoppage between 6-8 Rounds 

I'd pay for this if I know Punk will show up and go for MJF. It needs to happen.

It  needs to happen. I hope this is the time, but like others I won't believe it until I see them in the middle of a boxing ring face to face.
