I don't really see how Fury can knock Joshua out, unless Joshua gets carried away and punches himself out again but I think he's more disciplined now. If Fury goes after him like he did Wilder, Joshua will just jab his head off for 12 rounds.

I was one of the very few that said he'd KO Wilder but Joshua is a different animal.

Mate if Ruiz can KO AJ then Fury can

AJ's uppercuts are a thing of beauty. Would KO a baby rhino.

Does this mean Wlad is bigger than a baby Rhino?

If he punches himself out like he did against Ruiz, I agree. But as I said, he's more disciplined now.

There's nothing wrong with Joshua's chin, he's taken some big shots from much bigger punchers than Fury. Every time he's been in trouble in a fight it's been because he's got someone hurt and gone after the finish, then gassed.

No as Wlad was KO'd twice by AJ.

AJ has only ever been put down when he has gotten carried away and punched himself out. He is smarter than that now and he has shown that in the last couple of fights. He could get carried away given the occasion but I don't see it.

AJ knocked Wlad out twice? I only saw once and even then it wasn't an uppercut knocking him out.

I can see it. I can see him walking onto one if he rocks Fury, he has to as we've seen how Fury recovered against Wilder when he got put down. If he gets a chance he has to go for it.

Wasn't it the punch by Ruiz on the Ear that damaged AJ, equilibrium is all over the place when one of your ears takes a big impact.

Knocked down I meant and it was 3 times. The uppercut didn't directly knock him down but it was the punch that finished the fight. He was out on his feet and didn't throw another punch.

If Otto Wallin can damage Fury I think AJ can handle him.

Wilder nearly walked onto one himself when that happened, it was some recovery, although to be fair the referee did count to 15

I don't think Joshua will go after him like that though, I think his game plan will be to jab his way to a UD.

Yeah I think he will as well, but that'll just lead to Fury doing the same and trying to lean on him whenever AJ gets close. Fury has the longer reach so if he gets his jab working AJ won't get near him.

Dull Tools · « **Reply #66569 on:** May 12, 2021, 11:52:20 am »

I think Fury will win and always have done.

Saying that I am hoping AJ wins but only because I think Fury will retire after these fights. If he wins then his shadow will hang over the division for the next 5 years or so. Everyone who wins a title will always have people saying that they are only champions because Fury retired.

Yup, and that's why I think it'll be a stinker

. Although I think there's a chance Joshua wins the jab and grab war.

I think I've said all along that I make Fury the 60/40 favourite.

Samie · « **Reply #66571 on:** May 12, 2021, 12:30:44 pm »

Aye 60/40 in favour of Fury.

It's fair to say that Fury has a 'complicated' relationship with the people of that country

I don't think it was him that posted it, he made a video earlier that it was someone else. They also did the same to Andy Ruiz's account.

Welshred · « **Reply #66578 on:** May 13, 2021, 04:22:16 pm »

Yet another full confirmation without actually confirming it. Hearn saying August 14th is the date.

Not really. We have no idea when crowds are going to return here. They would likely be fighting at Wembley in front of 20,000 people.

Exactly.

This fight can't wait any longer and money talks. The rematch can be at Wembley in 2022

It really will be 'absolutely shocking' if the rematch is not in the UK. They'll have made enough to last them 10 lifetimes off the 1st fight alone

Remember when Fury said on the Joe Rogan show he was offered crazy money to fight on a yacht over there? It’s defo happening in the Gulf, can’t see it being anywhere else.

At what weight? I was wondering at what weight Canelo could get down to now. Kind of thought middleweight and super welter days were behind him now.

That's Canelo 101 of the manual to fuck over your opponent.

A bit of a shocker that up until now Taylor v Ramirez appears to only be available on Fite tv.

Josh seemingly did the right thing in signing with top rank to get the unification but the tv situation is pish.

Jermall Charlo needs a win at 168lbs first.

Its gonna be Plant for the undisputed next
