Callum Johnson is in tough tomorrow night against Beterbiev. He destroyed Buglioni but that's his only round in two years! Beterbiev has been hyped up a lot but I'm not convinced by him at all. Beterbiev is expected to win easily, and he just might, but I wouldn't be shocked if he lost.

Don't fancy Johnson at all in this one I'm afraid, can't say I've seen much of Beterbiev apart from him blasting away a few Latvians, but most of the division have taken out restraining orders against him so there must be something they're all afraid of.

Rocky Fielding v Canelo in December just announced. Random!

Canelo can fuck off spinning this as winning a world title at 168 when he wins!

The fuck

To go from GGG to Rocky Fielding is ridiculous. No wonder people in Mexico don't like him.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #58204 on:** October 5, 2018, 09:23:21 pm »

What the hell. Fielding might beat him you know. This ain't no world title though.

It's mad. Christmas at Fielding house will be something special, win or lose. Canelo must have some tax to pay. I thought he would be a cinco de mayo/independence day fighter

Canelo is a free agent now too. Eddie Hearn promotes Fielding and has a billion dollars burning a hole in his pocket...

No lose for Fielding, hope he gets a good payday out of it.

1892tillforever · « **Reply #58213 on:** October 5, 2018, 11:45:22 pm »

Yeah, Rocky's getting pummelled but a fantastic payday is a guarantee so good luck to him. He could cause issues with his size and power so who knows I suppose?

Maybe with size, but I don’t think he has the power. He isn’t a really big puncher.

I agree when he went toe to toe with Callum Smith it ended badly, I reckon Canelo will be above the Light Heavyweight limit come fight night.

I wouldn't say he has a 'good' chance. He is a decided underdog and rightly so. Beterbiev is a tank and can take anyone out I think but his career has bizarrely been very slow to get going. He looked the business early doors after enjoying an excellent amateur career. However, fights have dried up for his lately; just one since December 2016 and he is 33 years of age. For someone so dangerous and hyped, I am amazed that this has happened to him but I haven't looked any deeper into it. Could be injuries or promotional issues for all I know.

As I said above, it wouldn't be a gigantic shock for me if he lost tonight but I do think Johnson has one hell of a hard night ahead of him.

Gutted for Callum Johnson there. Gave it a great effort. He'll be a world champion soon.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #58223 on:** October 7, 2018, 03:46:39 am »

Johnson should have been more at it after knockdown. If he gets clipped so be it. Beterbiev was hurt and you don't let punchers off the hook in boxing. Great effort though, Johnson would be a hard night's work for all the champions.

He did what I expected; he was a live dog but just didn't do enough when his opponent was hurt (although I backed him at 7/1). Ring rust probably played a factor there although he was soundly outboxed for the most part. As Cornish said, Johnson can bang which means a fight against Stevenson or Kovalev could be fun. He would probably get KO'd in both but he would probably have at least one of them in trouble at some point. From now on, I hope his team gets him in the ring every 3-4 months.

It's a very tough division. Shame because he would have a real chance at 168 IMO if he could boil down and not lose his power.

Jarrell Big Baby Miller will likely be AJ's next opponent. He is a loudmouth which would do wonders for the promo and an ideal opponent to help AJ in the U.S. market. Miller battered ancient Adamek in 2 rounds last night but weighed 317 pounds! He Needs to get off the James Toney diet if he wants to do anything more than become an extra large punching bag.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #58226 on:** October 7, 2018, 11:07:05 am »

Hearn must love miller. Has mouth for days, American, unbeaten and would get battered by AJ.

Aside from Wilder, Joshua couldn't wish for a better introduction into the U.S. market. Miller will come out swinging but will be picked apart by AJ who would look very good in victory in an exciting fight. May even get a highlight reel KO too.

Miller is an absolute pudding, can't believe how podgy he looked in there last night with his stupid "Black Polska" shorts. AJ finishes him in 3, the guy is a C level fighter.

He is usually 30 pounds lighter but still carrying way too much chub. As I said, made to order for AJ and the promotion for the fight would be good because Miller likes talking as much as he likes eating.

Those press conferences have been cringe,only highlight has been Fury's mouth but Wilder looks like he's been practising lines back stage.

I'll be acestreaming it.

It's only going to get worse as fight night approaches and the ticket sales aren't looking good.

A fight between 2 undefeated heavyweight champions shouldn't need any promoting but there you go.

Classy guy. Hope he gets battered by someone in the ring. Seems like a genuinely nasty piece of work.
