Boxing Tonight

Anyone got a decent stream link for tonight?

[balbyrover]

Not sure but I think AJ will spark him inside 3 rounds. Maybe 4.
Hope I'm wrong and its a decent fight.

[GazLaz]

I’ve had a lump on over 3.5 rounds at 4/6 I know that.

I was way out. Seriously underestimated Takam. The bloke is hard as nails.
Not a great stoppage though and more questions than answers from AJ tonight i think.

Takam is just not a complete bum like everyone Josh has fought apart from Wlad and an out of condition Whyte.

Joshua isn’t as good as people think he is. That’s a fact. He times his punches very well but he’s not massively powerful. All about the timing.

   Takam was teak there was no doubt about that but he was never really looking like winning that fight and I don't think it would have made much difference if he had a full camp...
   However I agree with Gaz up to a point...The problem is the division is very poor at the minute nobody is really going to stretch Joshua he doesn't have to be that good to win..

I think I read somewhere that Tyson Fury will be allowed to fight again next year. If so, and he's willing to fight again, Fury v Joshua would be interesting.

Fury would want a couple of fights before he gets in with AJ I think. I think 2019 would be more likely if it even ends up happening at all.

  Never going to happen...I doubt he will get in the ring again never mind against Joshua he starts training then a week later retires on a monthly basis...You cant keep letting your body go in the way he has then get back in shape for fights...It takes it toll early like it did with Ricky Hatton...Fury has big mental health problems and I'm not sure a return to the boxing ring is were he needs to be at.

Hard coming back after two years out admittedly but losing 7st for him is easy.

[wing commander]

  it's not the losing of the 7 stone itself, it's the effect of keeping having to do it every fight that ages a boxer early...He would need a extended camp to get into shape..Probably an intensive 4 months of total commitment with hard training with no distractions and I don't think mentally he has that in him even if he did he would need at least 1 probably 2 warm up fights against decent opposition and I just cant see him being able to commit to that...I don't think we will ever know how good Tyson fury really is...Yes he beat a great in Klitchko but he has admitted he didn't take that fight seriously enough..Was it one big performance that deep down he knew he couldn't replicate so was happy to watch it drift away knowing he went out a champion,i think it was but time will tell
