It was then that you asked “Is Eddie not part of team AJ?” Which you could say is irrelevant going by your rationale.
kevin lerena is help tyson fury with sparring & is hoping to use the work to get on this card against justis huni. just rumors that the fight could happen at this stageQuote:

Y don't u 2 meet 4 a crumpet and clotted fucking cream you wankers
It's an ok card really. Far from the hoopla of "Saudi is running boxing". But tbf Zhang vs Parker reads like the main event. That is a serious heavyweight slobber-knocker. Can't argue with either being consistent and right on the edge of a shot with a win. Vargas vs Ball feels like very fast turn around and a solid fight you didn't know you needed but also one we really like to see. Good fight. Going to be crazy physical style clash there. AJ and Ngannou still the shiny wad of tinsel thrown on the christmas tree for me. AJ has set himself up needing to be picture perfect as even taking a wobble, flash kd or even a workmanlike "extended the distance" (while winning) likely becomes the full Ngannou headline and detraction. Either way here's to the last $40 ppv rate staying same, hopefully :-X.Quote:

Like Spicoli said "Zhang vs Parker reads like the main event"
The winner should get a shot at undisputed ahead of the main event
WFT happened to Rey Vargas vs. Brandon Figueroa :confused:
Vargas might just have enough wear & tear for Ball to get him
Good move. Let me explain. Yes I'd prefer Zhang or Hrgovic like the rest of us. But no one gives a fuck about us. We are the minority. The donuts who pay for PPV, the casuals, Joe Bloggs. They are the majority and will lap it up.
No doubt the demand will be for Joshua to knock him over whenever he fancies it. Just like it was for Franklin, just like it was for Wallin. I've no idea of Ngannous MMA record and don't care to look. All I know is he never looked like being blown away by Fury. Franklin hadn't been stopped and remains so. Wallin hadn't been stopped despite sharing the ring with the greatest fighter that's ever been born of his mother.
Actually, I think it is “Born of his Mother’s C**t! ;D;DQuote:

I saw him make a little speech the other day and tbh it’s all a little bit amateurish. Even saying to Ngannou , “you’ve done well , but I’m sorry, I want you to lose because you’re holding up real fights.” Whose fucking fault is that? Who’s paying the circus act?
Anyway, that’s my opinion, maybe I’m in the minority.
i don't really care how these yes men behave around turki as long as we get significant fights
Comic books and dollar general anime. Literally how they are marketing.Quote:

All we're doing is setting top fighters up to expect the same inflated monster purses while also turning back on regional fan bases who actually like to attend a fight. And shuttering major boxing venues and narrowing options in the long run. Eventually, this gravy train of Turki the mega donor will move to another flavor and these fighters will come back to Earth. Any man who invests billions in American Golf ffs gets a side eye. Did anyone actually expect Wilder to fight off a 120 day turnaround :cwm13:. Sounds harsh negative but these fighters need to build their own second phase options, keep to some realistic roots.
