No way I’m bothering to stay up for this. This Otto fella needed a points decision to beat Zumbano Love ffs. Look at the state of Zumbano after AJ hit him once in the second round.

Joke fight.
 
Always the risk when you don’t have power and you start to believe your own hype about being able to dodge every punch :rolleyes:

He was lucky that Wallin ran out of steam, against Wilder and co that would have ended badly.
 
Not to mention that considering Fury's size he did a lot of leaning into and against Wallin. I also thought that he went quite often with his head first. But think Wallin did a good fight to go all 12 rounds without being knocked down once (even though I only saw the last 4 rounds).
 
The cut mentally affected Fury and i think it changed the dynamics of the fight. Wallin looked good though, massively underated. A better tank and it might have been different but Furys pressure was superior.
 

Really, after all this time? Shame it didn't happen years earlier. I'm not a fan of either but I think Brook would always KO Khan after the latter won a few rounds based on his speed and dumb flurries. However, it was funny/pathetic to see Brook chase Khan so much, and Khan trolled Brook & Hearn several times. I'll watch the fight now but it's whatever.



Also, I heard on Twitter (I know) that Whyte is already quietly serving a suspension. Wouldn't surprise me.

Brook has wasted the best years of his career waiting around for a fight with this guy. Khans just waiting till he knows Brook is completely shot before he takes him on, last Brook fight (nearly a year ago!) he looked about 90% of the way there!
 
^ Ha.

Wait, I forgot Brook injured both eyes from GGG and Spence... hmmm, maybe that, the weight uncertainties, etc. would give Khan a big mental advantage. And if this fight can somehow generate a lot of money, maybe Brook will just be happy to get that payday he's been pathetically chasing for years - maybe he'll play it safety first for his eyes, all the way to the bank.
 
What I don’t understand is where has Brook been for the last year?! Looking online it says he’s waiting for a big fight, where’s that gonna come from cos he hasn’t fought anyone decent in 2 1/2 years nearly! Not exactly in the shop window for Crawford, a Spence rematch etc!

The only answer is he’s worried he’ll lose in a low profile fight and the Khan fight will go south.

History will show that GGG fight was a crazy fight to take which basically finished him. At his best he was a great fighter as the GGG fight while it lasted actually showed he gave a good account of himself but had no power to trouble him, got a beating and messed up eye for his trouble.
 
5/2 Ruiz.
2/5 AJ.

AJ heavy betting favourite. I'll be happy with either man winning for certain ways, e.g. AJ being a Brit obviously, whereas disproving those odds is one reason to root for Ruiz, and Hearn being a poopy head.

Nigel Benn supposedly fighting Sakio Bika in November.

he’s 55 ffs! Bika only fought 2 years ago,was proper tough and never got stopped surely this is a publicity stunt? Benn was shot in his last fights 20 odd years ago does he think he’s better now?

Well it’s happening. I’m hearing Benn looks great in training but I still think he’s nuts.
 
I'm not against these old pro's getting back in the ring, so long as they're physically and mentally fit, and are fighting appropriate opponents.

I don't think it's worth £15 on ppv, though!
