I wonder how much tickets will be to Joshua v Usyk?

£150+ for nosebleeds?

This is my stance as Lusty knows.

One of us is going to finally be proved to be the dickhead here mate

Don't get me wrong, Joshua gets slept on, but I think Usyk is a more demonstrably clear talent.

One who is just not quite powerful enough to keep Joshua at bay for the full 12.

I think.

Less than that surely? The cheaper tickets at Wembley are around £70 I think. £150 is usually floor seats but not ringside

I'd be interested in going at around £70 a ticket, even if the seats aren't incredible.

Usyk will need to be a damn sight better than he was against Del Boy to have a shot. Joshua should certainly go for a quick start to see if he can rattle Usyk early.

Tickets for the Klitschko & Povetkin fights started at £40.

Looks like the draws have been fairly favorable.

Ben Whittaker, Luke Mccormack and Charley Davison seem to have the toughest draws. None of them get byes and are all fighting seeded fighters in the second round.

Looks like Ireland have some decent fighters too.

Will be good when all these women turn pro as it will add some much-needed depth to the sport.

Young boxer (16) died in the River Dee today in my town. I won’t mention his name as no formal identification yet.

Kudos to the police officer who jumped in the river to look for him, he risked his own life with no hesitation. Emergency services here made a massive effort.

Samie · « **Reply #67176 on:** July 24, 2021, 12:51:14 am »

RIP to the lad mate.

Boxing clubs are closing rapidly during the past year as they can't get funding because resources are being pulled into other areas during this covid era.

Frank Vasey was his name. Tyson Fury spoke of him as a future world champ, he was very talented by all accounts. The lad’s family were in Chester today paying tribute on the river. RIP.

Takam landed a few decent shots in the first. Joyce better in the second, although took a couple of big shots at the end 1-1 for me.

Already looks like unless Takam can hurt him Joyce will plod his way to a late stoppage

Samie · « **Reply #67188 on:** July 24, 2021, 11:10:24 pm »

Takam is not far off Grandad Ortiz's age. Joyce should really be winning this pretty comfortably.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #67189 on:** July 24, 2021, 11:13:47 pm »

Joyce seemed to hurt him at the end there. Starting to put a few punches together, still getting caught but his head seems to be made of rock

Samie · « **Reply #67190 on:** July 24, 2021, 11:16:00 pm »

Joyce really has no head movement does he?

Do you need head movement if it’s made of rock

Against Takam no but against someone like Wilder or AJ his head gets taken off.

Ref steps in.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #67195 on:** July 24, 2021, 11:24:30 pm »

Takam should have taken a knee or thrown something back. Seemed a bit early but didn’t throw anything

Don’t know yet, but he does seem to have a very hard head. Haven’t seen all his fights but not seen him hurt despite getting hit with some big shots
