OP says you're not sure who is showing AJ vs Klitschko, so just to clarify on one count: Sky definitely have the PPV rights over here in the UK. They've been promoting the PPV since the day it was announced every time boxing is mentioned, actually.

Probably because most posters are grim northern Englishmen. Same reason why MMA threads are written in an internet sperglord style.

I've never made a thread but al av thi know that it'd be written in an internet sperglord - unfunny version style.

Is this fight really big enough to be ppv instead of just on sky sports

Sky have been putting some real stinkers on PPV recently, particularly recent Joshua can crushes, not too surprising that Haye Bellew is there even if the fight's not especially that interesting of a contest or meaningful.

I know I just said that about Sky putting stinkers on PPV above, but I can't see them putting Brook on PPV either.

Something else will pop up if they find the money probably. Khan will get an hang nail, Pacquiao will realise there are gay people in the country the fight would be in and refuse to go, something else.

Was browsing YouTube earlier and an official HQ upload of Canelo vs Khan popped up. (Unable to say if this is geolocked anywhere, isn't in England)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtux9fl_mg

roughly 25:00 for the kill shot.
Still a beauty.


e:
I'm pretty sure that if you asked Sky Sports or the BBC for a all time top 10 heavyweight list, it'd take all their strength to not put Anthony Joshua on it at the moment.

e2: noticed my time suggestion is after the punch.

If beating Klitschko is climbing Everest, beating Klitschko in 2017 is like taking an helicopter ride up the first 70% of the mountain. It'd still be pretty drat impressive if you did it, but it's not what it could have been.

Josuke Higashikata

He's still a big name and even if his reflexes are gone and he's utter shite now, he's not going to lose his boxing mind. He's still a decent scalp for that alone, even if he's just definitely not going to be the best Klitschko he could possibly ever be.

Reflexes? It's Wladimir Klitschko mate not Pernell Whitaker. The Fury fight was identical to every fight he's fought for the past 10 years, it just didn't work against someone a bit bigger and with a better gameplan than the puddings he'd got used to walking over. Incidentally I think he's got great odds for this.

Just because he's always been a big slow dude doesn't mean he doesn't rely on reflex.

Just because he lost one doesn't mean he's "utter shite" all of a sudden either. If Joshua wins it's legit.

Same eye as before with Brook, right?
He's going to be real worried about that in future if so.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


Ah right.

Thinking about it, having the other one break too might be a bigger mental setback than having the same one go again. Either way, I'd probably consider retirement if I were him, unless a big money fight against Amir Khan can be made. He doesn't have anything to prove, imo.

It's being made on the condition that the winner fights the mandatory challenger (there's a special exemption for Wlad in play according to Sky Sports News) so Fury is in a queue until they get another exemption or the winner drops the belt to fight him.

Fun fact: Before becoming a pro boxer Jeff Horn was a teacher.

Not so fun fact: He is laying on the school analogies way too thick. Hope Pacquiao can ring his bell :rimshot:

He's probably going to tell him to go sit in the corner between rounds and Pacman will be all "yeah, i know???"

Does he have a realistic chance of beating Joshua? Outside of one punch ending it that is, knockouts are big boys after all.

This conor benn fight on sky sports hd mix right now is pretty good, taking a battering at the moment.

e: yeah a very nice 6 rounder. think benn's getting a hometown decision though.


e2: yep, three points to benn, it was two knockdowns each, two knockdowns in round 1 against benn and two knockdowns in two rounds for the french man i don't know his name. really bad decision, shame really.

Who gives a poo poo about any fight of Amir Khan's that isn't against Kell Brook which is maybe a 3/10 on the interest scale in the year 2018.

i thought i read someone posting that groves would win on points and now i can't find it :psyduck:

just pop the shoulder back in and stop using that arm imo though

I didn't post because I had no idea this fight was happening until Thursday this week and it's easy to say this now the fights happened but as soon as I saw that the fight was happening, I thought Groves would win on points pretty comfortably. Seemed obvious to me.
