UFC 1 - Wikipedia There's not a huge difference barring popularity and purses. I always make a point of recording it, boxing not so much (probably doesnt help that boxing charge silly money for ppv fights either)
And here's another. Get yourself a couple of cans and a pizza and sit back and enjoy how it used to be done.
I remember that fight. I was on 2-10 and skived off to go and watch it. Got caught coming back in to work….
Joshua 's going to box those couple of brain cells Dubois was born with out of his ears on Saturday night i think. Dont think it'll go the distance either. Quite a decent undercard too so i might treat myself.
I've given up making predictions based on I never get to see anyone box plus I don't really no what I'm talking about... The little I have seen is that Dubois strikes me as what I call a 'clumper' and Joshua has more experienced ring craft about him and as you say it probably won't go the distance. But who will get their 'clump' in first? Heart would like to see Dubois win but head says Joshua probably will.
I’d love to see Dubois win but I can’t see it. Too easy to hit. And Joshua can hit… Joshua early on I reckon. I’d love to be wrong, but I never am. Ask Jez
A big fight for both of them. Joshua will surely be done if he fails at this hurdle. Dubois, well he does have seven extra years of youth and endurance, so given he is fighting AJ he has a good chance of causing an upset. But I agree, no clear favorite.
On a slight topic drift has anyone read about Dubois's father, his life and how he brought up his kids? It really is as strange as a very strange thing. In fact too strange to even try to explain here but one example should give you an idea. And that is that he had received a spiritual vision that instructed him to put his unborn child into professional boxing.
Eddie Hearn Matchroom promoter on DAZN It was a huge right hand AJ shipped in the first round. He never gave up and I'm so proud of him. He hurt Daniel Dubois but he got greedy and got caught again. He couldn't get up. If we're going to lose then losing to a British heavyweight makes it better. He'll need a rest. Joshua must now be done.
Hope so, thats 4 defeats now, beating up Ngannu doesn't make you elite again... Well done Daniel Dubois, quietly spoken and just got on with it...
WOW! Just woke up and watched it on Dzn or whatever it’s called! Sensational! What a tear up! Pleased for Dubois.. Also pleased I was wrong. I haven’t been wrong since 1987- I lost the toss before a game of snooker
Fair play to Dubois he sounds like he still needs the menu reading out to him when he goes out for dinner but he certainly managed to spin Aj’s jaw with some aplomb (and on multiple occasions). Thought aj was older than 34 so maybe he has a future, not sure I’d go down that road if I was him and had his dosh though. Good evenings entertainment on the whole (barring oasis).
I wouldn’t say that AJ went at it, though, Fairy. The writing was on the wall in Rd1. A flurry of desperation in Rd5, rewarded with that punch that finished him was about as good as it got from him.
I guess. DD took AJ’s needle out the groove from the start. Many predicted DD would go for it, and he did. Nice to see motor mouth Eddie bockered off! That guy is such a wanker. Threatening to knock Ben Shalom out… please… rubbing shoulders with genuine hard men seems to have Eddie thinking he’s one of them.. what a tit!
I watched it with my son who is also a boxer, and we both said that AJ looked like a rabbit in the headlights before the fight had even started. We wondered if there might be an upset coming as he’d had the same look in his eyes before those two comeback fights where he barely beat the part-time roofer who took him the distance and then although they look like emphatic victories on paper, he also looked stiff and nervy and struggled a bit against Helenius and Wallin. Standing still with your hands down and your chin in the air is only going to end one way with a dangerous puncher like Dubois. AJ showed a lot of heart by managing to survive 3 more rounds after that first knockdown as he was like Bambi on ice, and fair play to him for going out on his shield, chasing a KO. AJ said he wants to exercise the rematch clause, but based on that performance it would he like Dresden asking for a rematch with the RAF. He should enjoy his millions while he still has his looks and a few brain cells left.
