UNOFFICIAL NEWPORT COUNTY AFC FORUMS

Anybody else interested.

(Background both my sons are well known amateur boxers in London).

I know Newport is a hotbed.

I am a cousin, admittedly about seven times removed, of Gene Tunney, World Heavyweight boxing champion of the world 1926 to 1928.

Welcome;

I said to one of my sons if Furie had fought AJ this summer, he would have killed him. And, hindsight. But Fury at 19/1/2 stone has only one weapon. There is a risk here ..on points.

Amazing stuff Jeff

Total scrap. Rare in boxing. Both on the offensive.

Stunning, both down twice and still come out swinging.

What Millwall fans will call proper.

Wilder what a warrior. Fury knocked him out 3 times.

Gypsy King, the Champion of the World. ( a total mentalist )

Boxing gets it knockers, but it just got off the canvas.

You would think he would want to win all belts, then plough AJ, then maybe a last fight with Wilder. He's 33, so only 3 fights at his best.

Getting up off the floor in the first Wilder fight was iconic, in a world that just doesn't like men.
