Whoever was training Eddie Hall should be ashamed of themselves.

Cut to commercial break just as they were about to make up.

Apparently he’s still winding up that right arm this morning

He based his tactics on Fight Night Round 2

Can't get my head around what the fuck Eddie was doing other than winding up the hook. Wierdly enough his Coach is well renowned and respected, especially in Staffordshire. Can't for the life of me imagine he's been fine with Eddie having no guard for the 2 years he's been training. Whether it's one of them where he think's he's above taking advice because he's supposedly a hard man, I don't know. Rooted for him as he's a local lad and having spoken to him at length a few times in the gym, he's quite a humble person behind the bravado. Got his arse handed to him on a platter though, quite rightly on this occasion.

Did anyone catch his little switch to southpaw at the start with a "yaha you weren't expecting that" face?
Still can't understand how in 2 years someone didn't will him he was shit and needed to put his hands up.

To be fair, that wasn't a bad idea. But to follow it up with whatever the fuck he was doing made no sense. Especially after he's been giving it the big 'un about Thor having no idea whats coming and not sharing any footage. I had hoped that from what he had showed was a bit of a rouse. Looking quite imobile, keeping hands down- it would have been good to see him follow it up with something coherent. Ah well, he's been humbled.

Just heard about this. Not a huge boxing fan and certainly have no interest in nonsense celeb fights but watching the footage, that Eddie bloke didn't seem to put his left hand up at all. No covering, nothing.
Has he really been training for 2 years?

Big heavyweight fight tomorrow then... I'm feeling like there could be an upset. Dillian's a much better boxer than Wilder and can hit hard so it wouldn't be a surprise to see either or both men get knocked down.

I can't see it. I think it'll be comfortable for Fury, assuming he's actually trained properly.

Concur with Dougs, Fury’s got too much size on him

He's weighed in a stone lighter compared to the last fight so I'm sure he's prepared properly. I can't see it being a walk over though.

I can see it being a late knockout by fury when he's worn him down during the fight.
It won't be easy but I think it will be quite comfortable if that makes sense.

What Fury has said is pretty much spot on. He is better for sure but it's heavyweight boxing and that means any opponent he fights has got a chance.

Definitely. It's what keeps us all watching and some boxers going. There's always a chance. I'd love to see it happen mind you.

I quite like Fury so I do want him to win. And he's a very good boxer.

I'm the opposite, can't stand the bigot and everything about him. But he is a better boxer than I gave him credit for a few years ago, fair play.

Whyte v Chisora was ome of my favourite fights of recent years but I've never been dazzled by his boxing prowess.
This seems like a filler rather than a thriller.
Vanilla Gorilla.
Put that in the Chiller.

I've warmed to Fury. Used to absolutely hate him but he seems to have turned himself around. He's a much better boxer than I previously thought, who just used his lumbering size to his advantage but he can box.
As for his politics, I think he's changed. I try to take into account his background and he seems to be trying to get away from that.
I have met two of his hangers-on / "extended family". They can all get in the fucking bin.

He's a dick but he's also one of the most awkward fuckers to fight that's ever lived. Can't see Whyte getting anything at all out of this.

The guy we bought this house from is a massive Fury fan, had pics of them together and is going tonight. Lucky sod.
I don't think it'll be a pushover either, but I reckon Fury is good enough to win.

One slightly strange observation, something I've not noticed before, Fury has no arse. At all. It's notable by its absence.
I think that could be a huge factor in tonight's fight.

20/1 for it to go the distance and fury to win on decision seems a good bet

Come on, look at his arse. Is that the best arse you're ever going to get? Do you stick on that arse? Come on, admit it. He's got a flat arse

WHat sort of time do you think this fight starts? Debating whether I can be bothered to stay up for it or not.
