Boxing - This Weekend

Looking forward to some fights this weekend...

Fury vs Chisora

Both guys are undefeated and have been mouthing off with each other, and it's been good hype for the fight. Fury should win with his massive size advantage if he just boxes, but I don't really rate him that much and can see Chisora taking him out. The winner might even have a shot at Vladimir so everything to fight for in this one.

Khan vs Judah

I think this will be a VERY tough fight for Khan. Judah hasn't really delivered in the big fights and this is probably his last chance, and there is no question he is (or was) very talented. I find it hard to call it.

Anyone watch Murray - Mitchell last weekend? Very entertaining fight.

Fury vs Chisora is on channel 5 @22.00 should be a good one

I think Khan will find it tough too,but still fancy him to shade it

is the kahn fight ppv?

e36Adz · 22 Jul 2011 at 18:03

Yeah its £15 on Primetime.

I've had £35 credit sat in my Sky account for the past 4-5 months so I'll finally be using some of it now. I refused to pay for his last fight vs Mcloskey but this one should be more interesting.

i'll not be staying up to watch kahn, have a feeling it wont be worth it.

Fury should win, neither have a chance against Wlad though.

Kahn fight a difficult one for him? Pull the other he's never been same Kosto made him do the chicken dance.

Another opponent Kahn is fighting who has a big name but thats about all he does have.

From what I have read Khan will just be too fast and fit for Judah to handle.

Hmm, I'm not the biggest fan of Khan, I don't think he's as good as he's hyped up to be but who would you rather he fight? It's one of the best fights out there for him atm, unlike his last fight which was a joke.

Possibly, I think to win he will have to box on the outside and use his speed and movement. Judah will want to get inside and make it a brawl. I still think it's about 50-50 though.

Story in tabloids that Mayweather has said he wants to fight Khan potentially, the headlines are "showdown with khan" but Mayweathers quotes simply make it sound like he thinks his fans in England deserve a match so he'll fight whoevers about, he doesn't know if Khan has enough to "test" him, which again I read as him saying he's not sure if Khan is even good enough to last a round or two rather than, as English press will no doubt suggest, that he's not sure if Khan could beat him.

Would be hilarious, I quite liked seeing Ricky getting the snot beat out of him, just to shut up the English press/fans who really talk up any English fighter as the best ever, and I really hate Khan. As for tonight, I never know with Khan, he's got a little power and a very decent speed, but for me, no top draw talent at actually boxing at all. I don't think its going to take a great boxer to smash him to pieces, but his speed/power will carry him through fights against better but not fast enough guys.

Well since Primetime have nothing to do with Sky, it seems I can't use the credit I have on my account to book this. Also, if you have never booked an event through PT before you have to pay an extra £2.50 (registration fee) so that makes it £17.50, and it's not even available in HD.

I'm gonna chip in a few quid and watch it at cousins as we normally do but I'm not gonna be booking it at home.

Mayweather would just make him look silly. No point in being quick if you're hitting thin air.

So this is basically an hour and 35 minutes of adverts with a bit of boxing in between :mad:

Edit: WTF is with these ring walk songs?

Pigeon_Killer · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:38

This has got a lot in common with Bum Fights

Mr Jack · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:39

THIS is a good fight!

sigma · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:40

Windmills for the win.

Chisora taking it easy for that last round, doesn't want to tire out, I guess. Wild swings though.

Pigeon_Killer · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:43

Embarrassing lack of speed, ability and accuracy in this fight but it's bloody entertaining :cool:

sigma · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:44

Has Chisora thrown a jab yet?

Mr Jack · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:47

Is a boxer coming out to "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" while wearing a T-shirt saying "I found Jesus" being ironic or is he dim?

sigma · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:50

"Talk of Klitschko"?

Seriously????
