Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov is scheduled for next week on Netflix. I’ve been watching various matches on my new streaming service, but next weekend they have a match on netflix.
I have taken a many year break from really watching boxing but starting to watch it again recently.
I did. Just got done watching it a few hours ago. It was pretty entertaining but very sloppy. Maybe because of their ages. They both looked very exhausted early on. It went 12 rounds. Wilder won by split decision.
Chisora went through the ropes twice. Several times they pulled or pushed each other over. A couple slips, etc etc.
I’d like to check that one out. The only big fight boxing match I watched in the last few years that I paid for was Tyson Fury vs Wilder 2 I think. The one after the draw. I didn’t watch the 3rd one I think because he beat him so handily the second time. It was a great fight.
I would watch friday night fights when I was in highschool. I was into boxing back then. I lost interest in a lot of things over the years, especially tv related stuff, IDK why, maybe sz, who knows. But boxing is great entertainment. I think the first movie that was shot by thomas edison or someone was of two boxers in a match. He apparently thought it was the epitome of human drama or something.
What was odd about the Chisora vs WIlder fight , was it looked like Wilder had him done for at one point but instead of finishing him off he stopped when he had him in the corner and said “I love you”. or something like that. After the fight, he said he wasnt looking good and he didnt want to hurt him. He said something to the effect of “Too many boxers have been hurt in fights and we have to look out for each other.”
Edit: They both came back to fight on after that , though.
That’s odd for a sanctioned bout. Not really for an exhibition match. I think this was a sanctioned bout, but Wilder knew Chisora wasn’t going to come back in this one. If Wilder thought he was going to get another loss he would have finished him most likely.
I grew up watching Tyson and Lennox Lewis and holy field.. I cant Believe Tyson biting off his ear.. didn’t really pay much attention after that.. altho when Tyson fought Lewis in 2002 I heard he was into the glue .. it would be cool did Tyson ever fight butterbean??.. I think so cant remember
