channel 5 boxing shortly... anyone watching?

[stonecolddeanaustin]

Thought 80-73 was a bit of an insult to the other bloke in that Eubank fight. Good to see he's fighting again next week though! Should help that learning curve become a bit steeper.

And hurry up Tyson Fury. Would quite like to watch all of motd tonight!

is anyone else seeing this? tyson's singing some diana ross. barabara streisand?!

 

[SugarRay]

This is mental. Johnson on the keys with Fury singing Hero...

 

[werty]

He should definitely stick to boxing.

Tyson Fury's about the most erratically entertaining British fighter around. Hardly pleasing on an aesthetic level but his fights rarely fail to be mini-thrillers. Be interested to see if he can drag a decent fight out of Johnson though, who conversely is one of the dullest fighters around. Johnson has a fantastic jab but that is almost literally it. Mind you, excelling at just the one thing can get you pretty far in today's heavyweight division.

It's a decent test for Fury but he should win on points. He better do anyway or he's gonna mess up my accumulator.

I got the impression from their trash talking clip yesterday they were gonna hate each other. I wanna see a knock out!

 

[werty]

I wouldn't be surprised if they started Tangoing instead of boxing when they get into the ring.

Fury's coming out in a cowboy hat and riding this dude like a bronco... No. Shame.

 

[Hitch]

Johnson barely made it through the ropes

 

[JAYSTAR]

Yeah watching - Pryce took a lot of heavy shots and Eubank is very good, arrogant but good.
I reckon Tyson should win this - but he may hit the canvas at one point...

 

[Hitch]

Fury is one stylish man

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Tyson always looks a bit nervous of the spectacle, rather than the opponent. imo. I know he's confident, but it seems like he half expects to get told off by an adult.

Exactly - I'm watching the extended highlights on SS2 at 10:15pm! lol

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Are those green shorts made of felt?!

 

[SugarRay]

The shorts are old skool no doubt.

Always been a bit of a fan of Johnson, or should I say, his jab. Doesn't use it enough but it's very smooth.

 

[Sum Monsterism]

fury is 24. he's so massive!

 

[Hitch]

Fury has come on tons technically. Thus far this is looking his most competent performance yet. Actually fighting intelligently, finally making proper use of that jab and mixing it up with some lovely body shots as well. The latter such a rarity amongst the modern beanpole heavies.

 

[Sum Monsterism]

he defo looks better than last time out. it's noticeable even to laymen (like me)

 

[AW?]

He's looking good Fury. I'm a pretty casual boxing fan and i've not seen him for a little while. Looks quicker even.

 

[Hitch]

Still needs to sort out those love handles though
