Anyone watch Murata vs Govolkin from earlier on today?


Govolkin won well in the end, but for a few rounds he looked every one of his 40 years. Bit of rust there given his time away from the ring, but looks a good fihter now rather than the great one he was.

He is meant to be looking for a third fight with green pee Canelo, and I reckon Canelo will be happy to take him on (with the usual list of conditions in Green Pee's favour of course) based on what he will have seen from today's fight

Fury v Whyte tonight.

Can't see anything other than a Fury win. Will be watching on IPTV, **** paying £25 for it.

What time is the Fury/Whyte/fight

[spud_gun]

Pretty much as expected. Outboxed and boom.

[Kenneth]

Whyte’s a better fighter than that, he just couldn’t get close enough to do anything. Piss easy for Fury and good finish, albeit a bit pushy.

[fidget]

Whyte fought like he'd been trained by Eddie Hall's trainer.
Good performance from Fury.

Pretty much as expected. Outboxed and boom.

You said UD Spud

Didn't you say it'd be a tougher fight then Wilder

[fidget]

No - I bet on Whyte by KO for the value and Fury by decision
And I certainly didn’t say one thing then claim to have said another.
Just as well you didn’t have a bet.

Fury victory, as expected.

Understandable that you're a little salty this morning. The big man is imperious. No doubt rest of your club will be along in a day or so to decry the lineal champ as a bum.

You're almost as bad at betting as I am

[fidget]

Im not salty at all despite you wishing I was.
Being a successful gambler is about value - win or lose as long as you get value you’ll be fine.

[spud_gun]

Your little barb about me getting the method of victory wrong would suggest that you're a little salty.

Don't see you calling anyone else out about their predictions from last night. Especially those widely inaccurate ones that you were in full agreement with a few months back.

[Doc_Piptorious]

**** fight and really **** undercard. Hope noboday paid money to watch it.

Anyone who think there was any sustained quality on show throughout the bill is just drinking the Sky Kool Aid.

Nice uppercut to finish it though and boy does Whyte seem to like eating a good uppercut. Think Whyte was actually lucky that the uppercut did not catch him flush on the chin as it was nicely timed and delivered very well.

Whyte was utter utter muck and gassed by the end of the first round. Really thought he could at least put in a bit of a rough house performance before losing but even that was beyond him on the night. Thought he would at least box better than that bum Wilder as he usually has better basics than no basics at all Wilder

Easily the worst era of heavyweights in the history of the sport when that is the example of what a number one contender now looks like. Fury can only beat what is on front of him, but christ it looks like outside of Usyk nobody in the division is actually skilled to a high level (and I am deliberatly saying skilled and not effective because Fury is effective against those that are put in front of him before anyone jumps on the comment not having a clue that there is a big difference between being highly skilled and highly effective). Carthorses all over the dovision.

Not a chance Fury is retired either. He will claim he is, maybe go do some WWE stuff again, and then come back for a bifg payday against the winner of Uysk/Joshua.

[spud_gun]

blah blah blah. You were talking both Whyte and the fight up a few months back.

Fury wins with ease and it's back to the usual pish of **** fight, this era of heavyweight boxing is crap, Whyte was muck etc

Salty as ****

[Doc_Piptorious]

blah blah blah. You were talking Whyte up a few months back.

Change the tune it's beyond tedious.

Spud, stop being a troll on this point.

A few months ago you attacked me for talking up Whyte, then I pointed out to you what was actually in my posts about Fury vs Whyte (in which I said anything less that a stoppage win for Fury would be a bad result for Fury such was the gap between him and Whyte in quality and then I went over what I thought were the only chances I thought Whyte would have to get a long shot win against Fury) and then you said sorry that you had not read the posts properly, and here we are again you attacking my posts and not having a ****ing clue what you are on about again with regards to what a person actually said in the past.

You just seem to either make up what people have said (which I doubt you are doing tbf) or just cannot remember who said what and just attack people here (which I think is the case here) rather than offering any counterpoint or even trying to debate any disagreementy you have with comments about the sport.

I get you are a massive mark for Fury and that's cool, personal choices and likes and all that good stuff, but the only tedious thing is you seeing slights against Fury that are not even there and then leaping in to insult people rather than doing something like debating people's POV and debating why you think they are right or wrong.

The division is **** at present imo. If you think it is a strong division and that guys like Wilder, Whyte, Wallin, Parker etc etc are actually quality fighters then cool. Way I see it is it is the worst the division has ever been. Yes Fury is probably the best in the division but one man does not a division make.

Yes I talked about the fight a few months ago, but what I saw last night was a let down imo, and a boring **** fight. Now Whyte being utter muck played a huge part in it being a **** fight, but **** is ****. Could have been Uysk in the ring against Whyre, could have been Joshua. That fight was a **** watch no matter who was in it.

And I did not criticse Fury in my post either. Only good thing about the fight was his uppercut and I did praise that shot as it was sweet.
You could take a genuine world class heavyweight from the past like a prime Lennox Lewis in the division now and take Fury out of the division altogether and put him into the past instead of Lewis if we had some sort of time machine/person swap ability, and the current division would still be a **** one and just a **** division that happened to have Lennox Lewis in it.

You want to debate stuff why you think the division is not ****, then cool I would be happy to do that. You want to keep attacking and making up **** like how I was "talking up Whyte" (and go back and read my posts on Whyte that you yourself replied to a few months back for proof) which I assume means you are saying I said Whyte was going to win last night, then I will just take it that you have some issue with me and just treat you like a cunt across the board.


Edit: I see you edited your post to change what you said.

So now I am salty and you also called Fidget salty for saying something you did not agree with LOL. Bit of a pattern there fella
