It's Sunday tomorrow, what's the problem?

I'll get up for some UFC events at 4am but I enjoy that way more than boxing. I don't enjoy boxing enough to be exhausted for Sunday (and I'm not easily able to nap so once the fight is over I'm unlikely to get another 4 hours of sleep).

Well Joyce v Dubois was really disappointing.

Ruled a draw but I felt Tyson shaded it.

You reckon? I thought that was a really good fight.

Helped by the fact I won a 50/1 bet on a 10th round Joyce KO :shifty:


Fought Tyson won that - wasn't as depressing a scene as I thought it would be. Please no more though.

Well placed bet that.

Dubios eye looked awful, I think it's pretty pathetic the ex pros complaining that he took a knee. You could see how that last shot to his eye stunned him. If he carried on his career could have been over at 23.

Which ex pros were talking that? I didn't watch any follow up. He definitely made the right decision though.

Like you say, at 23 you can prioritise health - he'll come back and can have a good career. Although I don't see him ever troubling the top level on last night's performance. His ring intelligence wasn't there; when you think he'd throw some left hooks or at least try cut off the ring in that direction, he instead allowed Joyce to move freely and without too much trouble.

DD had the better combos but JJ was controlling him well with the jab. I'm happy for JJ, this should mean one or two bigger paydays before retirement.

Hate and I think frampton were in the studio. Both said it. Also a few others have tweeted or made comment today.

I actually quite enjoyed Tyson/RJJ. Was a lot of clinching but those body shots by Tyson looked naughty! Hope he does some more. Not that I'll be paying for it mind...

Snoop was also hilarious!

That's disappointing, I like Frampton and think he's a clever guy. The eye was strawberry floated, another two rounds of those jabs could have proven catastrophic.

A DAZN monthly sub in Poland is £1.60, vs £25 just for AJ this weekend :slol:

What do people reckon for it? I'm gonna put a few quid on AJ KO/TKO rounds 8-10.

I can see AJ being cautious initially, but yeah if I do the above bet rounds 4 to 7 will be hairy...

Eddie Hearn agreed with this which doesn't fill me with much confidence.

I'm feeling confident about my bets.

Listened to Froch agree earlier that AJ might be cautious initially then really go for the KO in the late rounds. Just hopefully not the last two :shifty:
