The circus has arrived in Belfast and looks more staged than US Wrestling 😂

FFS!!!! You've got Wilder shouting like a twat, Shaking Fury's Old Man's hand and then Fury Snr. realizes he's supposed to be nasty and shouting as loud as he can while getting "held back" by some 10 stone bloke. And then you've got Fury's opponent taking a fucking Selfie with Fury on the Stage! A FUCKING SELFIE!!!!
I hope Pianeta is getting good money to fucking sell his soul and any scraps of pride he had to join this pathetic fucking circus.
One thing I have to give Tyson massive credit for is his weight . another 18 lbs off since the Seferi circus. Who knows what damage he's done to his body and stamina ballooning up in weight , but he's certainly healthier than he was and that is one big positive regardless of what happens in the ring.

I'd bet my house that Pianeta has been told that under NO circumstances do you win this fight.
I've heard it's a done deal already Fury v Wilder.
We've still got Shannon Briggs in the house tomorrow night don't forget.
It's verging on a comedy sketch all this but it sells tickets.
Furys dad needs urgent acting lessons 😂

I’m seriously beginning to worry that this sport is going down the line of WWE and sacrificing sport for light entertainment.
How many fights are we seeing where guys are being paid good money to NOT WIN? If anybody thinks I’m exaggerating, they’re being naive at best.

Nobody apart from real fight fans and keen sports fans in general know who Wilder is and it's the same in the US, Wilder needs to be making as much noise as he possibly can as soon as he can because it simply makes his pay packet bigger.
The untapped "Average man on the street" market for Fury v Wilder is fucking MASSIVE right across the planet and you couldn't ask for two better characters/dance partners to hype the fuck out of their fight.
Let's not forget how fucking dull and boring the Heavyweight division was while the Klitschkos ruled for over a decade.
Sit back and enjoy the ride I say and by the looks of Fury and the way the weight is falling off him come December time he could well be in the shape of his life which makes it a real contest.
The build up for Fury v Wilder is gonna be insane and it's great for Boxing.
Anyone notice how UFC is dead publicity wise in recent years?
It's big characters like Wilder and Fury that grab the headlines.
Wonder what AJ makes of all this because within the next 12 months he's gonna have to fight one of these two guys, and the evidence is pretty conclusive that he's swerved Wilder already.
Some epic Heavyweight fights coming our way over the next few years...... that I'm absolutely sure of 😎

Paddy Barnes v Cristofer Rosales for the wbc flyweight champion on now.

[Master]

Good round from both, close both did well but give it to Rosales who bossed the centre of the ring better.

[Batman]

I think I am about 2 or 3 minutes behind (which is a lifetime in boxing) If I watch it on SD I'm only about 1 minute/90 seconds behind I think but HD is miles behind even the SD stream

[Master]

Barnes does well in the 2nd round moving and landing big blows. It seems to confuse Rosales.
