  1. Not at all. Ayr looked decent enough today but I'm too long in the tooth to think that this won't play out the way I predict.
  2. Anyone else on here heading down to Wembley for the Fury fight? I should be more enthusiastic than I feel right now but I don't care what anyone says, the lack of build up has detracted from the fight massively. Although I see Whyte has broken his social media blackout today.
  3. Fair enough. I suppose the fat clown comment was unwarranted.
  4. Exactly my thoughts watching it. Thor actually looked like a boxer by way of technique and footwork. Hall looked anything but that with his bizarre side on stance yet still impressed me more than that fat clown with the green hair a couple of weeks back.
  5. Aye I watched the Edwards fight then the programme finished. I take it Prograis was on earlier? I know he's been relatively inactive since the loss to Taylor but I think he deserves a far better platform tbh.
  6. Apologies if it's been asked already but can away fans buy the stream for this?
  7. Taken Taylor to stop him at 10/3. Still reckon itll be a points win but that price was too good to turn down.
  8. Are any Airdrie fans making the pilgrimage to Greenock tomorrow night? I could make an obvious joke about panzer tanks trundling down the m8 but thats so 2002.
  9. Oh I will don't worry about that.
  10. It'll be a disgrace if that fight isn't picked up by a UK broadcaster before the weekend. I'm still hopeful.
  11. Exactly. Problem is I don't think Fury especially will want him to get anything after being slandered. Will Fury vacate and if he does will AJ be happy if the fight isn't for all the marbles? What a clusterfuck of a situation and Chisora called it spot on, Hearn has led the fans up the garden path.
  12. It's not just that (although nobody else has dealt with Vargas in that manner that im aware of). It's everything about the guy. The massive steps he's made in such a short period of times defies what virtually anyone thought he was capable of. The way he carries himself. The hunger, desire, the way he speaks and conducts himself. Sometimes you can just sense when a fighter has something special about him. And we've not even spoke about the Benn DNA yet. I realise I'm making very bold predictions but I'll "hang my hat" on him taking a major scalp in the next 12-18 months.
  13. Nonsense. Granted Benn is still a relative novice in the bigger picture but in no way would he be "scudded from pillar to post." Benn is going to be a special talent in years to come and other than the likes of Spence and Crawford I think he's capable of giving anyone under that top tier a run for their money already. Be interesting to see who he fights next cos I can't see the likes of Khan or Brook wanting any of that work at this stage of their careers and Josh Kelly can forget it. A fight with Florian Marku would be a real crowd pleaser but I can't see that one coming off unfortunately.
  14. I actually meant to say Broner but either way I'd back him to beat either one of them.
  15. Bolder? I don't think anyone can question his ambition. There were plenty writing him off after his draw with Peinar, including some on here. He's the most improved fighter in the country along with Okolie. I'd back him to beat the likes of Khan, Brook or Porter tomorrow and with a degree of comfort at that. He's THE hot ticket in British boxing right now.
  16. I actually think Whyte is still showing small signs of improvement even at 34. I think a fight with Wilder would be a great watch while it lasted tho I wouldn't expect it to be a fight the latter would take. Covid may well have had an effect on Povetkin but I doubt very much he'd have made it through a full camp if it was even marginally impacting on his lung capacity as suggested. I think he simply aged overnight, as we've seen happen many times before.
  17. Sorry if it's been posted already but I think the holiday ban and accompanying fine is for reasons far more obvious than we think. The UK government simply want us to reinvest in our own economy and flood our own holiday resorts.
  18. I know a lot of it is guesswork just now but I worry you'll need both jabs with the possibility of a vaccine passport to allow you to travel without quarantining in Scotland when you land. Ignoring the idea of flying back to England, obviously. That's not even taking into account the £1700 charge for the privilege.
