Massive fight. Biggest Heavyweight clash in years.

[hateraid]

Is Fury for real and worth my money? I heard he's massive. Is there KO potential?

[chosen_one6]

Nobody. Gives a f*ck. About boxing anymore. F*ck outta here

[DonDadda59]

Nobody. Gives a f*ck. About boxing anymore. F*ck outta here

:lol

Cotto-Canelo just did a minimum 900K buys this past Saturday and Big Klit is a rock star in Germany. This fight is taking place in a 55,000 capacity arena.

Klit by 9th round TKO.

Boxing is in a golden age of sorts right now, actually.

[masonanddixon]

I wouldnt say golden age......but it is def in a better state now than it was before.......

There's good fights nearly every weekend now. Bute-Degale, Klitschko-Fury this weekend, then Jacobs-Quillin, Lee-Saunders etc...all quality bouts. And the game is in much better shape with Mayweather gone...

[L.Kizzle]

My boy Charlo fights on NBC tomorrow evening.

[Lebron23]

I hope Tyson Fury wins this match up. And hope that he doesn't let Wladimir clinch him until he's tired and fatigue.

lol Fury has no chance in hell of winning.

[FKAri]

Boxing is in a golden age of sorts right now, actually.

There is no public interest. The public only cares about HW's. Even though there is plenty of talent in the lower classes.

Even then, sure as fukc ain't a golden age.

I don't give a shit what the public finds interesting.

And yes it's a seriously exciting time for true fans.

Some seriously all-time great boxers in their primes or around it (Ward, Golovkin, Rigondeaux, Kovalev) and many skilled up and coming guys (Crawford, Thurman, Canelo, etc)...like I said nearly every week is a very good fight.

[DonDadda59]

There is no public interest. The public only cares about HW's. .

:biggums:

We're only a few months removed from a fight between 2 147-lbers doing 4.6 million PPV buys and half a billion dollars in revenue.

And again, the most recent big PPV fight (MWs at a catchweight) just did 900K-1 million buys and neither of those dudes are even American.

inflation when compared to past era's and the masterful marketing infrastructure of boxing.

if youre honest you know boxing interest has been dying in america since the 80's and mayweather has only added to the downfall in interested ppv's after the masses felt cheated from massive hype in watching a poohsee running around the ring being called goat.

boxing stans live in their own unrealistic world tho :sleeping

[dunksby]

Don't fool yourselves, Klitschko is going to dismantle Fury.

Boxing has returned to Network TV for the first time since the 80s. CBS, NBC, and many cable networks (ie Spike the former home of the dwindling UFC, HBO, Showtime, etc). The sport is actually in the best shape its been in decades and there are several stars who are gearing up to fill the holes Floyd and Manny's retirements will leave.

There's actually more marketable potential megastars right now than there's been overall since the 4 horsemen and Tyson days of the 80s.

Meanwhile, Holly Holm KTFO the UFC's only star and the organization as a whole.

the holm rousey rematch will be huge, and possibly future ones after that. itll beat the first fight by a lot i bet.

granted ufc has issues with the mens division draws being mostly has beens or suspended/retired/injured. they need a new generation to step up quick.

either way i can see boxing really falling off when the baby boomers start dying.

Boxing is so irrelevant that you can find this ****** in every boxing thread writing essays about it :oldlol:

People have been saying that Boxing would die or fall off since the 60s. There is absolutely nothing in sports more compelling than a super fight in Boxing. Just a few months ago, nearly 5 million people were convinced into paying $100 a pop to watch some over the hill 147 lbers go at it, 5 years after they should've. That fight made half a billion dollars in revenue. Even the Superbowl doesn't touch that ($330 million generated by Superbowl XLVIII).

Meanwhile, every major organization that has gotten into the MMA business has folded (Pride, Elite XC, Dream, even the UFC in the 90s/early 00s). The UFC today has no stars and they're getting squeezed out of TV channels. Only a matter of time before they go the way of Pride.

I wouldn't put money on him, bookie bait, but if you have money to burn then I guess you could take a risk.

its very generational interest by and large tho. sort of like whats happened to baseball in the last couple decades as older generations have died off.

it wont ever die but interest will drop quite a bit i bet. id love to see the average age buying boxing ppv's...

[Bobcats2013]

if Fury wins HBO wil unleash the sperm bank. his next 6 fights will be against undefeated America HWs that are in their early 20s that we've never heard of :oldlol: oh and they'll sign Anthony Joshua to a 8 figure deal.

ima hardcore fan and I'll be damned if i ever stay and voluntarily watch a phucking wlad klitschko fight, his brother maybe but not wlads ass. ill dvr it when i go see creed. I hope fury wins man, we need him as a stepping stone for anthony joshua.

[DonD13]

LOL Fury is no threat

[L.Kizzle]

Klit should win. Furry got dropped by Steve Cunningham, a damn Cruiserweight for Pete's sake? (who is Pete)

[L.Kizzle]

Lol, drama about the ring. Fight might get canceled.

[LJJ]

They removed most of the foam, fight is on.

[DonD13]

damn!!

[ArbitraryWater]

Just checking in because it seems he's getting ****in challenged right now.. well damn, lets go, knock him out!

[masonanddixon]

Klitschko baby

[DonD13]

respect :applause: :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

Good fight...

lets see what the judges got!

[BoogieWoogieMan]

Oh my lawd.

[dunksby]

:eek:

[masonanddixon]

Those scorecards were insane.

[DonD13]

Those scorecards were insane.

how?

[L.Kizzle]

Those scorecards were insane.
Inane, you didn't agree?

[masonanddixon]

how?

I had it a draw.

Plus to win on foreign soil against the champ in not convincing fashion---and score a UD, just blows my mind.

[masonanddixon]

Inane, you didn't agree?

I'd be fine with 114-113 or 115-113 by 116-112 is too wide for my liking.

[ArbitraryWater]

Who decides if there is a rematch? (and btw looks like it wasnt that good of a fight after all lol)

[DonD13]

I had it a draw.

Plus to win on foreign soil against the champ in not convincing fashion---and score a UD, just blows my mind.

nah man it was convincing

[dunksby]

Klitschko was bad, but the scorecards were too much in favor of Fury, dude didn't do that much.

[masonanddixon]

nah man it was convincing

First half of the fight was Fury, second half was all Klitschko plus the points deduction.

[masonanddixon]

they signed a rematch clause if Fury beats Klitschko

so if Klitschko wants it, he gets it

He should just retire.

[L.Kizzle]

I'd be fine with 114-113 or 115-113 by 116-112 is too wide for my liking.
:biggums:

Furry didn't do much, but Klit did way, way less. I think the scorecards were fine.

[DonD13]

Who decides if there is a rematch? (and btw looks like it wasnt that good of a fight after all lol)

Klitschko

they decide everything

[L.Kizzle]

First half of the fight was Fury, second half was all Klitschko plus the points deduction.
2nd half, maybe the last two rounds. But not 7-10.

[DonD13]

:biggums:

Furry didn't do much, but Klit did way, way less. I think the scorecards were fine.

this

[masonanddixon]

:biggums:

Furry didn't do much, but Klit did way, way less. I think the scorecards were fine.

A unanimous decision though? The performance wasn't even close to decisive.

[masonanddixon]

2nd half, maybe the last two rounds. But not 7-10.

8-12 was all Klitschko.

The first half was Fury but neither guy did shit.

[DonD13]

big Vitali secretly disappointed in his brother lol

[DonD13]

A unanimous decision though? The performance wasn't even close to decisive.

u from the Ukraine?

[masonanddixon]

big Vitali secretly disappointed in his brother lol

Of course. Dude lost to a guy who punched himself in the face.

[L.Kizzle]

8-12 was all Klitschko.

The first half was Fury but neither guy did shit.
Even the round where Furry caught him with that looping left?

It was an ugly fight, but Furry won unanimous.

[L.Kizzle]

It was a more clear winner in this fight than Cotto/Canelo from last week.

[masonanddixon]

u from the Ukraine?

Queenslander, homie.

[DonD13]

8-12 was all Klitschko.



no

[masonanddixon]

It was a more clear winner in this fight than Cotto/Canelo from last week.

No way, Canelo clearly won that fight. Possibly every round.

[masonanddixon]

Even the round where Furry caught him with that looping left?

It was an ugly fight, but Furry won unanimous.

What round was that again? 9th?

[DonD13]

i grew up a Klitschko supporter but common, he got beat up

he pretty much slept until round 12

that would never happen to Vitali

[L.Kizzle]

What round was that again? 9th?
Yeah, when Klit spin around somewhat. Biggest shot of the fight.

[L.Kizzle]

No way, Canelo clearly won that fight. Possibly every round.
If Canelo won every round, so did Furry.

:biggums:

[masonanddixon]

i grew up a Klitschko supporter but common, he got beat up

It was a very unconvincing win. Fury put in more work though.

[masonanddixon]

If Canelo won every round, so did Furry.

:biggums:

Cotto did nothing that fight. I'm exaggerating of course but you could make the case Canelo won 10 of those rounds.

[L.Kizzle]

Cotto did nothing that fight. I'm exaggerating of course but you could make the case Canelo won 10 of those rounds.
So who did more, Cotto last week or Klit?

[masonanddixon]

So who did more, Cotto last week or Klit?

Klitschko.

I was looking forward more to De Gale Bute anyways as I love middleweight/super middleweight.

Jacobs Quillin will be dope too

But Lee-Saunders is going to be the best fight of them all because Lee actually has the balls to fight Golovkin.

[Wally450]

Lol at people saying Fury had no chance.

[SCREWstonRockets]

wow the reign is over. crap fight but fury won. the singing of aerosmith at the end was the highlight of the fight.

makes you wonder if wilder could have taken wlad

[dude77]

tyson fury's a pretty fitting name for a boxing champ .. and he looks like an interesting character .. hope he reigns for a little while .. it'll make for some interesting match build ups

[Lebron23]

I told you so. Congrats to Tyson Fury.

[dunksby]

Lol at people saying Fury had no chance.
Yep, very disappointing fight from Klitschko.

[step_back]

I didn't enjoy the fight all that much. The last round was the only interesting round. Only 2-3 good punches were thrown in the previous 11. It was a case of Fury being less worse than Vlad.

Heavyweight boxing is in a bronze era. Hopefully the States can produce a young talent soon to compete with guys like Anthony Joshua in the future. Right now heavyweight division is a joke.

[Lebron23]

Tyson Fury vs. the winner of the Povetkin-Wilder fight in 2016.

[Godzuki]

man this fight was so fukkin boring :sleeping

i actually wasted my valuable time watching this on hbo and came to the realization boxing is just boring these days. even when its stans hype shit up it still sucks. what a far cry from the tyson era :coleman:

[masonanddixon]

Did you watch Canelo vs Cotto last week?

That fight sucked.

De Gale vs Bute was very good although the decision was bullshit.

[Godzuki]

Did you watch Canelo vs Cotto last week?


i was actually planning on it since HBO was doing a double rerun header but after this oaf fight i lost all interest :coleman:

[Rooster]

That fight sucked.

De Gale vs Bute was very good although the decision was bullshit.

The fight was good and the card especially the Japanese and the Mexican slugging it out .
Good riddance with Bute. He was a hyped job from way back with ref saving him from the grave against Andrade.

[eliteballer]

He must be the tallest heavyweight champion ever.
