Ah $$$$

Panthro

Ngannou to put AJ on his backside round 6. Then AJ to run clean out of ideas for the remaining rounds.

What? 🙃

Sandor Clegane

I expect AJ to finish Ngannou within the 10 rounds, anything other than that will be seen as a massive failure imo.

Any win for Joshua keeps him right. I expect a late stoppage. First 3 rounds exciting.

Panthro

I've only noticed this now (I'm in uk) so not sure it applies to ROI. The fights £20 until midnight tonight. Then tomorrow it's £25.

I've never noticed this before.

Snakes.

19 euro I paid yesterday via my DAZN account. DAZN PPV channel 495 on Sky are not showing it. I had to install DAZN app on tv to sort it.

US3

It's 19.99 on dazn and 24.99 on sky that's mad

blade1

18.99 on DAZN and pay an extra euro for a month subscription.

Is Fury looking unusually lighter/thinner these days? Looks a bit off

DAZN being a “streaming” option making it cheaper I’d imagine; not as “guaranteed” as the Sky digital feed

OmegaGene

Tickets €60 and ringside €100 to see Thomas carty and Whyt v Christian hammer next week

Its very sad the guy will be 58 when the fight happens, he could be killed in the ring ,

His last fight v Roy Jones was 4 years ago , you;d worry about someone in the 30's taking 4 years off let alone a near 60 year old

Jake Paul should be ashamed of himself, if something goes wrong & Mike is seriously hurt Jake Paul's life will also be ruined ,

US3

I'd advise anyone going through dazn to be careful what you sign up for. I subscribed for the Katie Taylor fight last year it was 10euro for the months, turns out I couldn't cancel after the month and have to pay 10r a month for 12 months

If Mike was in against someone decent, I'd agree here, but JP is really not that good. He's no killer.

Tyson is clearly well washed, we all know this, but vs Roy a while back, he looked "good" enough to possibly cause issues for someone like Jake Paul

What happens if Mike lands clean and flush on Paul? Yes, may not be the same force as he was throwing in 1986, but could still generate enough power to really hurt Paul

yourdeadwright

He will be 58 years old , I don't care how good you are if you hit a 58 year old flush on the chin he may not get back up ,

Jake Paul is a very limited boxer but he's a big strong dude who carrier's power,

He;'s been knocking out lads in there late 30;s simply because they are past it, Again we are talking about a 58 year old grand father,

Roy Jones is only 3 years younger than Mike at 55, Your making a huge mistake thinking a fight between two lads in there 50's has any relevance to fighting a guy in his 20's , Plus that fight was 4 years ago , if he was fighting a Froch or Bellew you;d be worried about them having not fought in 4 years let along a 58 yearold Grand dad

,

Panthro

The worst part will be the inevitable cringe out of Jake Paul saying he's beaten the baddest man on the planet.

That alone makes me pray Tyson puts him on his backside.

I know Paul is big, strong and has power.....Of course it's dangerous, but as boxing and skills go, he is very basic. Mike could well land clean and hard as well....if he does, what happens Jake? Tyson does not need to be 20/21/22 here. Even at 58, if he can throw and land, what happens if he connects clean?

This kind of thinking is crazy & why these stupid sad fights get made,

Mike Tyson in his 30's couldn't stop Danny Williams & Brian McBride, Better men than Paul but still hardly Stella er competition,

20 years later at 58 , he was using a cane last year to get around for **** sake,

If his name was anything other than Mike Tyson you'd agree, This is not the movies its real life he is 58 years old ,

Remember George Forman shocked the world he was 12 year younger than Mike is now, 12 years ,

No, not his name....his ability (albeit clearly diminished) at throwing hard punches is why I am not as strongly against this as you.

You seem to be way OTT in crediting this a mismatch. Giving maybe too much credit to Paul. I think Paul wins, but it's not that much the dangerous mismatch you are making it out to be. Jake Paul is muck.....and if Mike finds his chin clean, he could well really hurt him....it's not rocket-science....

Plenty plenty worse mismatches happen in "regular" pro boxing every day of the week....they are always dangerous.

Zhang is 3-1 on v Parker. Not sure I ageee with that

OmegaGene

Parker was 6/1 when it was first announced and that closed to 2/1 last time I looked

squinn2912

I went for Ball, Parker and Joshua. I’ll see how the evening is going and if I’m up money I might throw rounds 6-8 Joshua on as well.

Butson

You cannot read into Parker v Wilder.

Wilder was there in body only, had zero interest.

Zhang looked good against a one dimensional Joe Joyce, but he can really crack and Parker is not elusive.

wtf… the fight is tonight???
