He should've beaten Joshua, though. But I guess you're right, he just didn't fancy it.

I think the mutual respect is what stopped him putting Joshua away. He had him beaten during the fight but felt like he respected/liked AJ too much to finish him.

Was the perfect fight for Joshua though. I do worry about his chin a bit, but at least I know if he ever gets rude to me I can spark him out.

Right decision from him IMO. I don't think he fancied another go with Joshua (who could blame him) and he'll retire with a lot of respect. Just a massive shame that Fury beat him. Thought Joshua showed him a huge amount of respect which was no less than Klitschko deserved.

I think he must have been really tempted to go again, and not just for the money. He wasn't far off winning the fight, there was the 'could've/should've' round where he let AJ off the hook, and whatever the scorecards read I think most thought it was very close at the point of the KO.

However I think Wlad probably put absolutely everything into getting ready for that fight, he looked much better than he had done for a little while, and yet still didn't get the job done... Maybe he just doesn't want to commit to that again and get himself ready, which in that case is the right decision. And it wasn't a bad fight to go out on.

That was too easy for Crawford, Indongo went down so easy it looked like a fix. Time for Crawford to move up to welterweight.

Cleverly retired. He can look back on a very good career overall. He shared the ring with some really good fighters, Kovalev especially. Should be very proud of where his career took him. I think he'll make a decent pundit too

Need help here. Do i parlay(acca) GGG and early stoppage(doesnt go full 10 rounds)? It was my first instinct but now idk. I keep going back and forth on it as i think Canelo has a real good shot here

I think it's going to be close. Nobody will get the nod over Canelo in a close decision, so I think he'll get the win.

Speaking of Kovalev, it looks like he will retire as well, he's considering it, I think its a good idea. Ward broke his body and his spirit.

You can get massive odds on Canelo when it comes to rounds,Canelo is the most improved Boxer over the last few years,I do think GGG will win but for me Canelo is one of the few who could beat him.

 

[dontcallme]

I think GGG has this one.

I ended up parlaying GGG and doesnt go 10 rounds. I then doubled down on that with a GGG wins in round 6 prop at 15/1. I agree that Canelo is one of the few that could beat him and has a good chance at it but i think GGG gets him before stoppage. I took a punt at the round 6 prop because it was the only lateish one with odds that were worth it. Would have felt better with round 7 or 8 but the odds werent worth it to me.

Could be the fight of the year,the draw is big adds 20-1 with Paddy Power.

I have got Canelo every round and GGG round 7&8 also got the Draw.

The book didnt have round by round odds. I find Vegas bookmakers don't have alot of the prop bets you can find online

 

[SugarRay]

Vegas sports betting and Yank sports betting in general is awful. Zero options

I've got Canelo to rise off the canvas and win on points along with a couple of other bits to make it even more interesting. Just hoping it's a classic. I think it'll be great

I'm at Billy Joe Saunders fight tonight. Hoping he gets switched off, although unlikely. He's an absolute creature of a human being. Obviously trying his hardest to be a bad man of the sport and a little outspoken and controversial but he's not anywhere near sharp enough to carry it off like someone like McGregor does. I'm only really going to watch Dubois

 

[Mullers]

This is absolutely disgraceful and I believe it was planned, he didn't discipline his son at all, he just let him come out with all the obscenities, terrible parenting.

 

[dontcallme]

Good first round for Saunders. Caught Monroe a couple of times.

Shock horror...

 

[mpickard2087]

Halfway through, I'd say Saunders is 3-2 up on rounds.

 

[yankspurs]

GGG won that by anywhere from 2-4 rounds IMO. But that was a phenominal fight. We need a rematch.

 

[yankspurs]

Draw? Huh? Really? And Adelaide Byrd 118-110 for Canelo? What in the entire fuck? How are a you a judge? I think you just lost your job.
