  1. Povetkin looked shot enough in the first fight, but that was on another level last night. I wouldn't be surprised to him fight again, he shouldn't but if guys like Chisora can still be wheeled out and make that PPV money, they'll find a good enough reason for why he is still a threat. I'm still up for seeing Wilder vs. Whyte, Wilder wins that inside three rounds. 

  2. I remember being at that Semi Final at Old Trafford back in 2001, absolutely dominated the game but went behind from Doherty scoring. Sol coming off for treatment as we got back on level terms from a Vieira header and Pires winning it in the second half for us after Sullivan saving almost everything we threw at him. Funny enough Campbell's last appearance for them  before signing for us on a free, great memories, might be the right time to get the DVDs out. 

  3. Royal Rumble 1997 wasn't shown live in the UK. I remember having to watch it the way SuperBacon did on the following Tuesday on replay. and it was the same for Survivor Series 1996. I got Sky TV at home in August 1996 after Summerslam 1996(which I went to one of my uncle's house to watch live at midnight) Big trip down memory lane here as I remember the adverts on Raw is War in lead up to Wrestlemania 13 and it was supposed to be shown on delay here until one Friday it suddenly appeared that it was going to be shown live on Sky Sports and then came with it were the In Your House shows being shown live too on same platform and that a big deal had been signed.

    I usually skim through wrestling now but do check out parts of each weekly show and catch up on the PPV's the following day unless it's Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania which I will try to stay up for through the night if possible. The Rumble match itself I usually enjoy and try to go through the previous ones over the years before the new one is on. I watched the Royal Rumble Match from 1992 a few days ago and now about to watch the Royal Rumble Match 1993. 

  4. It's safe to say there was a problem with Loma's shoulder in the fight, but if that serious, then he should have pulled out and had it rescheduled. There was no rematch clause in the contract and I don't see Lopez wanting to go there again unless for ridiculous money. I only watched the fight once when live and I thought Lopez won it. He is coming across as bitter but I think he is doing what he thinks needs to happen to goad Lopez into the rematch, I'd be all up for seeing it a second time. 

  5. I want to see Fury attempt  to walk Joshua down like he did in the second fight against Wilder. I'm not sure with the size of Joshua   he can do it or would even try to go down that route. I've always felt like Joshua would get to Fury and stop him at some point, but thats the beauty of the heavyweight division right now, different styles mash up well and hopefully we can get a lot of good fights from it, even if means someone losing to one guy and going on to beat another, whilst he loses to someone else.

  6. I thought Joshua looked good, Pulev done well to continue after the beating he took in the third round, Joshua took few rounds off it seemed, but those uppercut he was throwing were menacing and good way for him to finish it off.

    I get the feeling I'm the only one hoping to see Joshua vs Usyk and Fury vs Wilder 3 next. 

  7. If Tyson can make the money he is making in exhibition fights, it needs to stay that way. The problem with this is people start getting ideas about putting him in there with the best in current heavyweight division. He would get messed up by all of them and if it was Wilder or Joshua across the ring from him, we going to a whole other level of what may end up happening to Tyson health wise.

  8. 13 minutes ago, Egg Shen said:

    think theres a chance the winner moves into the mandatory position with the WBO. 

    Dubois is right there already behind Usyk in the number 2 position, so if Joshua ends up vacating, it should be Usyk vs the winner of this fight for the vacant title. Well in theory it should be, but never know for sure with some of these organisations.

  9. Can put Brook/Khan on in local park, probably best place for it. If people come back into arena's I could still see it selling out and doing decent numbers with their history/rivalry. Neither of them are good enough at the top world level anymore as we are all aware off, but recent losses are both losing to Crawford and Canelo/GGG/Spence respectively so they can always use that to convince people they are not completely washed up.
