Fury and Frampton are both 100/1 on. Looks weird in this day and age to have these big bills with main event mismatches. Paddy Barnes vs Rosales is alright but most likely to be a mismatch. And there's no decent domestic-type matchups.

Warren stuck in the dark ages.

Wilder-Fury playing WWE mouthing off will get more headlines than the boxing.

This is purely about the "event" and giving Frampton his hometown stadium fight he's always wanted more than competitive boxing, Frampton should win this with ease as Jackson has little power to bother him.
Decent move forward for Fury but he needs rounds in the bank and at 6ft 5 tall I'm hoping Pianeta can at least give it back physically and make him work for the win.
Can see Briggs making a complete cunt of himself and over doing the verbal trying to upstage Wilder.
On the whole I'm happy with Furys choice of opponent but Frampton is just a gimme on paper.
Poor card for a stadium fight but the Irish will love it nonetheless.

Pianeta was stopped by Kingpin-no punches-Johnson just a year ago, which is possibly the worst selling point for any fighter in the history of boxing. About a hundred years ago he had fits with the old human mudslide before the old boys zimmer frame buckled.

Hopefully this Fury-Wilder lark is real though and they don't constantly talk about Joshua and Wembley stadium.

Every other sentence will be teasing AJ and how he chickened out of the fight with Wilder, whether it is true or not.

I think it's a sensible step by Fury after the last circus show shitfest but there's no way it's a bridge fight for a possible Wilder match.

According to his trainer Ben Davison he's had one week away from the gym In 8 months so should be fine fitness wise but are the reflexes and timing gonna be like they were 3 years ago if he dives straight in with Wilder who's a fast, fluid and unpredictable KO merchant?

Bottom line is he needs rounds and I think he'll be carrying Pianeta just to get them.

I don't think Fury needs rounds more like a highlight reel sparko which can be clipped all over social media to get the average sports/casual fan interested. If they wanted rounds they could have picked a million journeymen types who can fiddle their way through 12. Why is he not fighting Johnson who knocked Pianta out just last year? Pianta would be a waste of time for Dubois or Joyce let alone Fury. He's just taking the piss earning some easy dough.

Fighters today have the resources to get fit and sharpe long before fight night. This is a man who can pick any training camp, sparring partners and coaches in the world.
