No need to be a prick about it, pal. The draw was this mouthy former world champion has been saying he’s coming back to reclaim all his belts and that he’d still knock out Joshua, Parker, Wilder etc. Then he steps in, lands ONE punch and the guy retires without a scratch on him.
He was in abysmal shape and looked worse than domestic level. Luckily, he was in the ring with a guy who wanted to gargle his baby gravy. Nobody expected a contest, but it’s also fair to assume that if you’re paying for a fight you’ll get ever so slightly more action than a gentle sparring session.
Anybody that doesn’t understand what an embarrassing farce that was, is quite frankly, a chump with donkey brains and a small pecker.

Lol, a journeyman fighting a world champion is always a farce.
Only a fool expected any different.

Ohhh, wait. You’re the guy that was talking about how Haye wasn’t a special Cruiserweight. Should have remembered how clueless you are about boxing from then.

No I wasn’t, swing and a miss.
I was the guy disagreeing with the the guy saying Haye wasn’t a special cruiserweight.
Probably not a bad idea to have a quick search before posting, saves you from looking like a massive twat.

It's one thing to expect an easy win, but that was something else entirely. That wasn't a competitive match in the slightest and neither man tried to hide the fact. Anyone who paid for that should get their money back, the fact that they charged people for such a pathetic show is embarrassing. Neither fighter intended to actually fight, absolute scam.
All Fury has proved is that he can stand up for four rounds in what was essentially a Saturday evening, had a few beers, nothing on the telly sparring session.

Fair - but to be clear, you’re still talking absolute bollocks about last night.
You should know that I’ve no issue making myself look like a twat. Luckily, it’s a rare occurrence for me.

I think this is the problem with PPV.
Fury is a drawer and his comeback fight was always going to be a journeyman who offered little.
Paying an extra fee on top of Sky subscription was always going to be a money maker but fans should have refused to pay.

Not really. A boxer on his return fight after almost three years out is always going to fight a bum. That is simple boxing history.
There are few examples of boxers coming back and fighting a decent fighter.
My opinion is those expecting any different are being fools. I don’t think this is an offensive thing to say and I didn’t aim it at an individual.
You have turned it personal and attacked me for being an idiot despite it not being me who said it.
Whether we hug and make up or not, I don’t really care but let’s leave this disagreement here and end it.

Last night was a circus from start to finish really.
Even for a returning Fury, who wasn’t one for big risks in his career anyway, the opponent was poor. Still, it’s good to see him back even if his antics in the ring actually made me think he won’t be the same again.
Pissing about is one thing but he took it too far last night. He didn’t look like a determined man on a mission reach the summit of the heavyweight division.
He has always had a little bit of showmanship in his work, but he was always 100% serious. I think he needs his uncle Peter in his corner. He’s the only one who can keep him under control and focussed.
His new “trainer” is basically a fitness instructor who is half decent on the pads.

Pacquiao looked really good last night too.
Maybe he has one more big fight in him.
