Latest boxing crack

Reckon the tabloids will turn against him? must have a stack of files full of dirt on Joshua (so I've heard)
 

Had it 7/8 - 5/4 for Usyk, scoring that fight for Joshua wss hugely suspect from the judge.
Joshua chucking Usyks belt :confused: not exactly a great look for his image.
As for that speech at the end....Kanye West vibes :lol::lol:

Still say Fury is too big for Usyk and the skill not wide enough for Usyk to make the difference up and now Joshua showed you can hurt him to.

Joshua v Wilder or Joyce in a comeback fight in Britain next year would be good imo to see if he stays relevant at the top, especially if Usyk does retire

Shouldn’t do really. I’ve had concussion and it proper f***s with your head for a bit.

Obviously not saying it’s guaranteed that he has, but easy to underestimate what he’d just been through prior to what he did post-fighth.
 
Did he *really* say 'don't shop in white shops'? Here is what he actually said. Sounds more like 'don't give money to racists' to me.

"Today we join many thousands of protestors in the UK and many hundreds of thousands across the globe. We stand united against the virus that has been instrumental in taking lives, lives of the young, old, rich and even poor. A virus that is not apologetic, a virus that spreads across all sectors of our communities, sports, education, churches, entertainment, the media and even the government. Not just in the UK, but across the world. The virus has been declared a pandemic. It is out of control. And I'm not actually talking about Covid-19.

The virus I'm referring to is called racism. How long are we going to allow racism to spread through our communities - and right now we are in the community - and affect our lives without using the vaccine you already have in your possession?

What is the possession? Me and you. You are the vaccine. I am the vaccine. We can no longer, from today onwards, be proud, we can no longer sit back and remain silent on the senseless and unlawful killings, sly racism of another human being based only on what? Their skin colour. We need to speak out in peaceful demonstrations, just like today, so well done Watford, inject the vaccine. We must not use a demonstration for selfish motive and turn it into rioting and looting.

We need to be united in non-violent demonstrations, show them where it hurts, abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses. And that's for all communities, if you want to uplift yourselves, invest in your own businesses. We have to engage with the youth, I completely agree with that, and put an end to black youth gang culture.

I'm going to be real with you about gang culture. I'm down to ride 100 per cent, but what you have to realise is it's done, it is done, trust me, unless you want to be sitting in jail spending years upon years of your only life that you have thinking about 'Yeah they can lock the locks but they can't stop the clocks.' That's all done because there's too much cameras, too much intelligence, all the OGs that I know are telling me, 'Bro, it's finished. It's finished'. Gang life is finishing, that's what we're saying, I know that, I'm not promoting no gangster business."



*** Going to bed now, looking forward to waking up to 100 notifications :lol: ***

Probably. It’s what they love to do.

Build em up, deify them, revel in their success. Then watch them fall, kick them while they’re down with salacious gossip and froth, watch them destroy themselves then invite them to tell their story of their mental health problems / addictions/ ruined lives whilst they disingenuously empathise.

See Best, Gascoigne, Bruno and many, many others.

People can think what they want about him as a person but you can’t knock what he’s achieved.

But he’s still fallen so short. He will never be remembered as a great, rather a slightly better Bruno.

He had the makings of a great, physically. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the heart of an Usyk.

ps don’t shop in the white man’s store…..
