[BubbaP]

British heavyweight boxing on the Beeb this evening

18 months or so ago Clarke was fighting to a draw with Wardley

See there is talk of Usyk fighting Wilder now
I suppose Wilder, Fury & Joshua were the big names in last decade, and he's beaten two of them (twice).
But Wilder was always known to be technically poor and seems past his days. Would prefer to see someone younger & hungry having a go, but $ talks.

I’m not surprised to be honest.
None of the up and coming boxers have the pull to bring in big money.
Wilder is dangerous to anyone with the power he has but Usyk should outbox him comfortably

9 hours or so until the fight-come-exhibition on the 'flix.
I don't think it's a good thing, but now it is close am wondering if worth a look. Maybe if the dogs wake me up....

Anyone thinking of setting an alarm, or staying up?

I have a 20 month old baby, I don’t need an alarm

 

[Fromtherough]

I’ll watch it in the morning. Just need not to remember not to check my phone beforehand.

 

[BubbaP]

Woke up, checked, and as usual things were running fashionably late, so here we are...

 

[Fromtherough]

I’m up as the dog ate something he shouldn’t. He has so far produced far more than this fight after four rounds. The fight stinks just as bad.

 

[Fromtherough]

Back to bed after normality resumed. Awful though. Frustratingly the proper KO was avoided so I can’t imagine this is the last of Paul.

 

[BubbaP]

Ring was massive! Bought him some time before the inevitable

 

[Arthur Wedge]

He must be knackered with all that running

 

[Piece]

It's a toss up between the boxing and the cricket as to which is showing the better fight

 

[Swango1980]

Only boxing match I've watched this year.

But I'm not a boxing fan, so that is why this "fight" makes sense. Bet there are many like me. And I bet lots of boxing fans watched it, if anything to mock it

Was a no contest. Joshua just chilled out, while Paul hopped around, offered no threat, and just tried to not get hit. Often jumped into Joshua to hug his knees, usually after his own punch, to avoid a counter.

Bit of a anti climatic end.

I’m amazed that these ludicrous mismatches even get licensed.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Glad I didn’t bother watching it, just seeing the comments here and clips on Social media shows it for exactly what it was a cash cow and waste of everyone’s time.

 

[BubbaP]

Hope Usyk isn't tempted to come back down to cruiserweight for the $$$

Spoiler alert

Fight summary -



And the image that will be shared the most...

 

[Arthur Wedge]

First proper punch that landed floored him - not a surprise and well earned £90mil each

Just heard on news that Paul reported his jaw broken in 2 places

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke I’m sure a few million quid makes it worthwhile
