Wilder out at Middlesborough
He won't be out of a job long. A decent manager

I'm bored to tears about the fury-AJ will they or won't they fight. Sky sports making it a big deal by saying its deadline day for them to agree terms. At this point I just want them to fight so they can stop talking about. Been over five years of this now
This is the problem with modern boxing
Manny-mayweather. Nearly ten years till they eventually fought. Terrible fight and boring to watch as a viewer
Brook-Khan. Six years too late, both fighters far past their prime when they thought this year
Crawford-Erroll Spence Jr. Both talk the talk and claim to the best in the division but won't fight each despite all the social media trash talk.
Too much politics and money involved when it comes to the likes of Eddie hearn , Frank Warren and other promoter's. All greedy buggars and want more and more
-
They don’t have a managers office. They call it the departure lounge.
Ludicrous owners
-
Credit to Joyce for KOing Parker . I was expecting a bore fest for 12 rounds. He's called out Usyk next. Could be interesting
Stokes very own Heaney also won despite getting a very nasty cut.

Ex vale player Ritchie Sutton new manager for Nantwich

Paul Hartley sacked. Just pool united from now on...

GGG ran on empty, he looked past it, right decision.
No excuses for GGG but he hasn't looked the same fighter to me since he left Able Sanchez.
Absolutely agree mate. Was sad to see , he looked old and tired
But what a career he has had. Never been knockdown or knocked out. A legend of the sport and one of the greatest middleweights of this generation

GGG vs Canelo III on Saturday, bad blood still between them.
IMHO GGG won the first fight, Adelaide Byrd's scorecard was the probably the worst scorecard in boxing history. Don Trella's scorecard gave round 7 to Canelo when even Byrd gave round 7 to GGG, Compubox backs up that GGG threw and landed more punches in round 7.
Although the drugs issue clouded the 2nd fight credit to Canelo as he changed his tactics and was more of the aggressor but for me it was a still draw.
The fight is being held at 168ibs so who does it benefit? I don't know but it sure is a super fight and it will be brutal. I feel GGG needs to take it out of the judges hands, but can he?
Looking forward to this one. Must win for GGG purely for redemption purposes. However I feel age might be against him
As much as I can't stand Canelo for the drugs fail and the corrupt judges giving him that undeserved win. He's one of the best of our generation and still an absolute killer. Will be interesting to see how he gets on with the weight change. Didn't he move up against Bivol ?
Really Hope Golovkin wins this one, the only guy to take a big right from Canelo and not even flinch.
Canelo apparently wants the bivol rematch after this. Personally I'd love to see him take on Beterbiev. Would be an absolute war

60 /40
Sounds a great deal for ne
Wait out
To be honest I just take what fury says with a grain of salt nowadays.
First retired , then he will come back but only 500mil , then he's gonna fight chisora then he's not , then usyk but apparently uysk is scared which is obviously a lie now he's calling out joshua who only had a brutal fight a few week backs.
There's no way a heavy weight boxer is having two massive fights in a space of three months.
Not to mention the back and forth between these two has been going for nearly 10 years now.
I respect fury as the great boxer he is and all the mental health awareness he's done can only be inspiring. However he craves the spotlight and the need to be on social media and have everyone talking about him. So when the joshua doesn't happen again he will be back on his socials calling a dosser etc..
Same as the mma stuff. Says but it will never happen.
He'll be wwe bound next year. Which he's perfect for
-
I rate Potter but that's a massive job. I could see pochettino as the next manager potentially
-
Cracking fight between Ruiz-Ortiz Jr. Really impressive from Ruiz and fair play to Ortiz , forty something and went down three times but still managed to drag the fight till the very end
Ruiz-Wilder Will be a decent slugfest if it happens
-
Really strange finish to the Smith fight there. Why the ref didn't just count instead of calling off I'll never know.
Frazor clarke fight another strange one. His opponent looked like he took a dive for money as frazor barely touched him yet he went down twice so quickly
-
Good bit of Boxing tonight with Liam Smith fighting with an alright undercard
Ruiz-Ortiz tomorrow night also.
-
I wouldn't be surpised if Jimmy Floyd hasselbaink is the next to go from Burton.
-
I had a quick look on social media just out of curiosity to see how deluded stoke fans really are.
Some of the names mentioned
Wayne Rooney
Graham Potter
Benitez
Chris Wilder
Big Sam
They really do think they are a big club don't they ? Banter City FC and long may it continue

Jim Gannon would fit in well there. The club is full Kn0bheads so he would feel at home

Bet he's getting a decent pay off.
Stoke fans seems Sean Dyche is favourite.

The right decision for me but did AJ and his team get the strategy wrong.
Usyk has a good chin and is an all action pressure fighter and if the fight goes the distance Usyk is likely to win on points.
So for me AJ being the bigger, heavier and stronger man has to make that count. I would have thought he would get closer to Usk, man handle him, work inside to the body and sap Usk's strength and then stand off and unleash his power.
Either that or take some risks, let his hands go more and throw some big shots to make Usk keep his hands at home, sometimes a boxer has to take one to give one.
It seemed in the 9th AJ did try and use his strength and power and he had Usyk wobbling but it was back to normal in the 10th and the opportunity lost.
Perhaps I'm underestimating Usyk's power and/or over estimating AJ's chin but watching the fight I just got the "deja vu" feeling.
Perhaps a fight with Wilder is the way forward for AJ as Wilder fights soon and is gonna need a big name to get back amongst the "contenders".
Good analysis.
In terms of AJ apparently he's fighting again in November. Can't think who it would be though , Chisora said he would never fight him due to their friendship, Wilder is fighting in October. Dubois or whyte maybe ? Although I feel that might be too soon after a heavy battle against Usyk which isn't that far in terms of months.
Perhaps a journeymen like fighter ( Lucas Browne,Gerald Washington type) mainly to get that winning morale back and get him back on track
-
Weird ending from Joshua there. Maybe emotions got to him.
Who on earth let him keep the mic and rant
-
Masterclass from Usyk and the deserved winner.
Can't see where AJ goes from here to be honest
-
Big one tonight. AJ loses and I think that's him done personally. I think his career and personality will take him more into television anyway, has a huge fanbase and support beyond boxing
I'm still split on who think is going to take it
Great undercard by all accounts.
Thank god I've got a firestick though as these Pay per view prices are ridiculous.

Interesting press conference between the two
Eubank saying he is finished if he dosent win
Thought Connor Benn conducted himself well with all the condecending talk aimed at him from Eubank (though with the weight diff he has to be considered favorite)
Just hope Connor Benn s assesment of it being more 50/50 is right and he can pull off a win ?
I'd imagine it's 50/50..
While Eubank Jr has fought BJS and Groves. This is definitely his biggest fight to date ( first ppv fight i think also ?)
The size difference is huge though. Big fan of Benn but I can't but feel this is a massive step up for a fight this like this
-
Big fight this is.
Big fan of Benn but that's a massive step up in weight

Courageous fight by McKinson, he came to fight and came out swinging. Ortiz Jr's work was ferocious and intense and he put McKinson down with a body shot in the 8th and McKinson's corner threw in the towel in the 9th round, first time Ortiz had gone 9 rounds.
Talk of a fight between Ortiz and Terrence Crawford.
Cracking fight. Those body shots were brutal
To be honest I wanna see Crawford-Spence Jr now before it's too late too much talking from both parties at this point
Good win for Dalton Smith last night infront of his home crowd. Brutal KO to win it
Looks like Eddie Hearn & Matchroom have got another wonder boy on the ranks

Connor Benn has apparently failed a drug test. Good chance this gets called off now
