I once paid for the Bellew vs Cleverly II card and felt like a proper mug (my Internet was shit so had no chance of a stream). It was also an excuse to get rid of the missus and kid for the evening so that was worth the money IMO  ;D

Therefore, I don't say this lightly, but anyone paying £20 for this is a complete mug. In fact, they are the mug of mugs.

Oh man.  That was an all time stinker.

I bet this sells quite well though unfortunately.  Everyone I know who doesn't normally watch boxing has mentioned this one to me.

So a jug? :P Shame on you for paying to see feather-fist Cleverley, I also watched it on a stream and had to turn it off after a few rounds it was that bad.

How do people reckon Jones v Tyson would've gone down in the 90's when they were in their primes?

Jones was a Middleweight/Super Middle in the 90's mate. By the time Jones Jr got to Heavyweight, Tyson was really shit losing to Danny Williams and the likes.  ;D

Tyson's prime was in the 80s really.  That version of him would take apart any version of RJJ just because he was a proper HW and RJJ wasn't really.

It was a hell of an achievement to win titles from MW to HW, and RJJ was one of my favourite ever fighters, but he was a bit lucky that when he came up to HW John Ruiz had somehow become champion instead of Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe or the Klits.

Leave Danny alone  :D! His fights against Potter and particularly against Airich are up there in my all time 'mad fights' list. If anyone hasn't seen the latter it is well worth a watch for laughs - utter madness. Was it him as well involved in an absolute bloodbath against Skelton?

Just looking at Sky and it's not totally clear - is Joyce v Dubois still going to be on 'free' Sky?

Looking forward to the Dubois Joyce fight, the talk of Dubois facing the winner of AJ/Fury should it happen next year is daft though.

He needs managing past those two imo and he will have the chance of being a British HW world champ for a few years, but fuck me he's a total charisma vacuum isn't he?

Looking forward to Dubois vs Joyce which is the biggest domestic contest since Lewis vs Mason. I think Joyce will win by stoppage between rounds 7-9.

Watched the weigh in for Tyson vs Jones and going to swerve ordering that. Will watch it afterwards on YouTube once it’s available.

Dubois in the middle rounds for me, Joyce is too slow and robotic.

With that said, he'll probably give Dubois chin a test so could easily go the other way.

My cat has more personality than him. He's got a weird way of talking too. The AJ/Fury talk is ridiculous, got to love the British way of overhyping their sportsmen. If he wins. I say give him the GOAT Charles Martin.

If Dubois has any ideas of getting a world title shot like he wants by end of next year then he should be dispatching Joyce tonight. Late KO I say.

I think they were talking more in terms of style than quality.

He did look very good though, got the sense he was pacing himself through the distance and then went for it once he knew he'd got to the last round.
