Cited as the best first round ever, Marvin Hagler v Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns, it's just nuts !!
Hagler was probably the best boxer of all time that could switch seamlessly from southpaw to orthodox and back without any loss in performance. Hearns was fantastic aside from a glass chin.

More than likely will watch it but certainly not staying up for it I usually set the alarm for 5. Hopefully its a classic and they both go at it.
Fury for me

Think I'd rather watch paint dry.

Fury cheated imo i felt he won on points even though he got Ko'd couple of times. Those Ko rounds were the only ones Wilder won.
Well the betting companies made a hell of a lot of money.

It's all about the money mate. A draw means a deffo rematch and loads of money for all involved.

Anyone going to watch Joshua Vs Ruiz?
Re: The boxing thread - All talk about boxing past n present
I watched it, it was entertaining enough. Joshua did what he should have done in the first fight and won it behind the jab, he has a 8inch reach advantage for fecks sake so how he could have lost the first fight is beyond me. I was impressed and surprised with Ruiz though, or should I say his hand speed for a fat guy but he has only lost once so maybe I shouldn’t be. At the end of the day a good big fighter will beat a good small fighter and that came true. Joshua fought a smart fight, stayed away from a brawl and comfortably won.

Joshua lost the first fight because he tried to go toe to toe with him and got found out. Had he of tried the same then it would have been the same result. In the end he boxed clever and out pointed Ruiz but it was hardly a classic.
Hopefully his next fight is Wilder or Fury

Just clubbed him to death, Wilder looked like he broke his jaw as he was bleeding from his ear. Technically Fury is awkward, he looks clumsy and not overly fast and I never thought he would reach where he has, respect. I actually think he would beat Joshua as Joshua does not have a good chin. That would be the best fight out there and I will happily watch that on a free stream

Fury just anhilated wilder he was all over him from the first second. I really don't want to see a third fight but i think it will happen. Ideally, AJ Vs Fury should be next to unify the belts.
