Don't blame Fury. Apparently Warren giving him a huge pay-cut, too much risk for too little reward.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
You don't blame him? After all of his bluster and bullshit about how he would never pull out of a fight? After calling Haye and Chisora 'shithouses', pussies and cowards?
He's a joke.
He's a joke.
completely agree with this, he is a disgrace to British Boxing.
Completely completely different to the manner in which Haye and Chisora pulled out.
Correct. Both of those guys were legitimately injured. "The Fighting Man" Tyson Fury isn't.
Golovkin vs Geale just about to start.
GGG would end Cotto's career. Roach will probably make Golovkin come down to 156/157 if the fight actually happened. As if Cotto would take the fight though.

It would be a dangerous fight for Cotto at this stage of his career. Equally though, Cotto would be by far the best fighter Golovkin has faced as a professional. That finish tonight was pretty crazy. Got caught flush with a right himself and still bludgeoned Geale with his own right hand.
A nice win for Billy Joe Saunders last night, he underestimated the Italian a bit I think and made hard work of it, but he got there on the end, he needs to work on his stamina though and his guard is too lax but the lad has bundles if potential
Did you go in the end?
Decided against it, reluctant to pay £57 plus travel to watch Billy Joe Saunders!
Yep Haye physically couldn't fight a couple of weeks after having a 6 hour surgery on his shoulder and the BBBoC would never have sanctioned Haye to fight first time with a deep cut about his eye and even if they would what sane boxer would if after the very first jab their eye will be filled with blood. As for Chisora again no boxer is going to fight when they have fractured their hand a week before the fight.
I can't even.........
I own his autobiography. I can't help but think that he omitted a potentially large chapter.
Does Kell Brook stand a chance tonight? Would love if it won mind, but some guy I know reckons Porter is very very tough battle for him, and would even give Floyd a somewhat tough battle, forget Khan.
Porter is good but he drew with a lightweight in Diaz. Since then, he has beaten Alexander (who I think is overrated) and walked through Paulie who, at this point, I suspect is shot. That said, Porter looked much improved.
I think his competition has been better than Brook's, but Brook has a significant size advantage.
Bookies have Porter the favourite, but I give Brook a very good chance. A controversial decision could be on the cards...

I fancy Porter to knock him out inside 8.
It's possible, but Porter isn't a huge puncher. Brook has enough power to keep him off of him and not allow Porter to apply his usual pressure game.
Either it's just because he's in the middle of what I assume are mostly two gymrats(Kell definitely is, always in top shape).....or Oscar has really let himself go. Check that double chin.
Yeah, Oscar is a disaster area these days on various levels.
So happy there's some good competitive boxing to keep my mind off the football this weekend. Porter-Brook has the potential to be a cracker. I have Porter winning it by decision.
Sensible pick.
I wish I could stay up for it but I will have to settle for a replay in the morning.

Yes I think that is the most likely result. It could be controversial as well.
You're getting old man. I'm sure you used to frequent this thread at about 5 in the morning after the fights!
Porter is like an arm-swinging duracell bunny. Brook's going to need a knock out here, but can't see it.
Really and the battery is getting slower.
If brook can up his punch output just a bit he could knock this guy out.
What have I just seen?
How can Brook have won that?

What you saw was Porter was punched out by the end of round 4 there was no snap in his punches from that round onwards, Kell was never rocked. Still it was a closer result than the yank judges ruled.
Mental variance in the judges' scorecards.
Porter still up by 2 rounds at least. Despite Porter looking somewhat spent by round 6 (as I have it) Kell never really stepped up enough to really take more than 3-4 of the next rounds having lost the opening 6 for me.
Not a Brook victory and the scoring makes it even more of a joke.
I thought Porter did enough too, but it is so hard to score when his arms are constantly flailing around like a maniac. Didn't look like either had the power to knock the other out.
Porter just wasn't clean enough for the judges, one thing was evident though the crowd at ringside knew he had lost there was no boo's at the end and they were leaving before the scorecards we're read.
I felt porter deserved to lose he was swinging for the sake of swinging at points in the match just to look busy and kell was avoiding most of them and those he took didn't faze him.
Well well well. I smell another British megafight on the horizon.
Kell was more efficent, calm and composed. He showed a lot more intelligence in the art of boxing than porter did who just looked pumped up on PED's with wild swinging. Brook was the clear winner and his class in picking and timing shots outweighed Porters reckless looping swings.
Brook won it, in my opinion. Landed the better, cleaner shots.
