Im not surprised m8. More coverage on a YouTuber fighting an old retired boxer than the coverage Josh gets. Hopefully the media starts giving him the recognition he fully deserves now

Seen some camcorder reporter asking another fighter what Josh could go on to achieve.
N I just thought.....wake the hell up. The legend has already achieved it all. And you was sleeping on it. 18 fights. Undisputed champion. Super six muhammed ali trophy winner. Boys a class act. Moving up for Terrance Crawford....might just be a step too soon. But Josh will deffo cause him problems.

I stayed up to watch that fight. An awesome performance and actually they did try and rob him with the decision but thankfully the knock downs saw him through.
Love the ay he wound him up before the fight to he’s a proper fighter.

He should let the smaller guys like Teofimo Lopez come up and he can batter them rather than going for Crawford or spence etc.

Yeah he’s a nasty fucker lol. I like the story about Ken Buchanan to.

Either side of him are strong fights tho even the guy who fought last night is no slouch Devin Haney he’s slick as fuck.

What do you think of Usika's latest?

Just watched the Tyson/Paul fight....

Looked to me more like an exhibition match where no one was to get hurt.... Tyson without his fury & Paul keeping his gloves down most of the bout.

Was it just handbags at dawn to get a payout... or does anyone think different?

I agree, watched it and it was kind of sad to see Mike like that, although thinking about it, he did well for a man of his age all things considered.

I just don't think Mike should have fought, and I hope he just hangs up the gloves now, hell, multiple celebrities have offered to give Mike money if it was for financial reasons.

Jake looked like he didn't wanna hurt Mike, and I guess that's a good thing, because who the hell wants to see a young man, beating up a 60 year old??..no matter how good Mike used to be, the simple truth was, he's just too old.

They sold us an image of Mike through his training vids that were simply not true, and it was all about sales and views.

Totally agree about the age thing...

I'd said that he would come out like a whirl wind as he wouldn't want to do the long fight (due to age & injury) - but we didn't even get that

That slap, pre fight was Tyson... he did it & then stanced, ready for any retribution.... I saw none of that aggression in the ring

It's a shame this has ended where it has, nobody wanted to see this
