"One of the great British heavyweight title fights"

Clarke needs to go and work the doors in town before someone does him some serious harm, although I feel it may be a little late for that

My oldest brother used to do that (1960s) - he loved it - he also had a go at being a policeman and a nurse, ended up being a Waste Paper Merchant (very successful) with his best mate from school - 1 unit just north of Albert Dock and another off Derby Road, Bootle (rough as a bear's arse, he was, and make no mistake).

Re: having a go at being a nurse - true story - him and a fellow student nurse were kicked out for climbing onto the roof of Walton hospital (pissed) and hanging a skeleton from the clock. My first English lesson at secondary school we were asked to write about our family and I put in there bits about my brother, the teacher put two and two together and turns out he was the other skeleton hanger (Mr Morgan or 'Spooney' because he was always talking about spoonerisms or 'Schultz' because of his haircut in the shape of a German helmet). He asked me to put him in touch with my brother, I did, he went and stayed with my brother and his family for a weekend, my brother got him well pissed (my brother could drink!), Mr Morgan threw up in his bath and they never met up again.

Is this the right thread for this?

He’s a bad man is Opetaia. He got rocked early in the fight too. Talk of him going up to heavyweight in a few years.

Good start from McGrail.incredible performance from Turhan earlier - absolutely savage.

Rumours abound that Paul got hurt in sparring and the fight is off.

Seen his shadow has he?

Do we think this is going to end in anything other than a highly suspicious draw?

For all his faults, I always had Joshua down as an ambitious sort. He flattened Ngannou and i was hoping he’d do the same here, but I’d be sadly unsurprised if the draw scenario played out.

Ngannou I think actually came to fight and was a serious threat. Joshua, unlike Fury, took it seriously. I don't think Ngannou and Paul are close the same thing. Ngannou is a fighter who has competed in an actual combat competition that wasn't his own promotion.

I can't imagine any world where Joshua isn't sleeping like a baby before this.

I don't believe any of Jake Paul's fights have been legitimate.
