    If one has money to throw away, Wallin KO in the late rounds pays around 67/1, depending on the round...
    To be honest, I believe Joshua and Wilder are both bad enough to lose by a KO on saturday. I am not joking.

    I know casuals are already looking past saturday for Joshua-Wilder, but Joshua has 100 issues and Wilder is 38 old rusty guy.

      So you're complaining about what you deem competitive fights then?

      You're a very weird guy, aren't you?

          Compared to mere morsels we are usually fed. This event is good

            it's good considering how poorly the organizers treat us fans. If fans had a choice, it'd be Wilder-AJ, Hrgovich-Wallin, Parker-Dubois.

              Hrgovic`s opponent has no chance, Fa has no chance, Arthur has no chance, Kabayel has very little chance.
              On paper, Miller vs Dubois looks to be the competitive one, the rest look like showcase fights where the favorite is supposed to win.

                ​Three competitive fights on one card is ultra rare these days at heavyweight. Boxing has no universal commission. Past / current champions in Fury and Wilder do not fight top ten ring rated opponents enough

                They are guilty or belt milking. IMO a champion should fight at least two ring ranked opponents in two years time.


                If you think a rating system with no enforcement is a better system than one with mandatories solely because the un-enforced one looks better to you in names, you are a short sighted idiot who never put together in the 100+ years of their unenforced existence Ring never tried to make an enforceable ratings system because *gasp* the boxers would use their rules against them and force lists to exist that do not make your ******* as wet.


                WBA made up unterbelts because they wanted to, or, because Lennox petitioned for it?

                Fres was in the ratings for like a decade without fighting, WBA wanted that did they?

                WBA gave Char a belt because they wanted to?

                These mother ****ers sue the real boards to get into position and your ass wants to praise the unenforced like as if they're doing a goddamn thing in this sport?


                Nope, truth is only reason why Z has such a hard on for Ring is because he's a K2 fan. Like heaps of those losers he's a racist who never admits to being racist he just happens to have a ****ton of criticism for blacks and praises whites all day every day, especially the white colorline era champions. Those his favorites outside of k2.

                What's K2 gayness to do with Ring? Ring made Wlad's mandos top ten ring rated HWs overnight after Wlad annouced upcoming fights.

                Can't get sued for it because they don't ****ing matter, but, a weasel ass **** like Z can use them to establish his view and push it on others.

                  Lennox did not petition for it. He suggested "box offs" between the sanctioning bodies so unified champions didn't become overloaded with mandatories. The WBA mischaracterised the champion's suggestion to justify their greed in creating more belts.

                    Probably with an everlast glove too, his nonsense threads seem everlasting.

                      I can't believe Miller is that much of an underdog

                      I'd argue Miller has beaten better fighters than Dubois has, but hasn't fought fighters as good as the ones Dubois lost to. So you can make if that what you will.

                      Miller has a style that certainly isn't ideal for a fighter that has quit on his knee twice.

                      Surely it's worth putting some money on it
