what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | As said above, all the stuff helps him make YouTube videos so it's an investment beyond winning the fight. Training wise I just imagine he doesn't have an S+C coach and is doing his own programming and doesn't want to appear small and weak. Being a relatively normal size wouldn't sell the fight, coming in at 125kg loses the freak factor even though its obviously the sensible thing to do in terms of actually winning | ||

Could be contracted to be at least a certain poundage but yeah both are currently looking terrible an no f**king clue what eds doing. Doesn't seem to understand what foot work is never mind working on it. Don't get it, at least do some f**king shadow boxing. | ||

I think that would be much more interesting than watching 2 25 stone men try and fight | ||

Especially if they're staying big and will probably be lumbering around like a pair of oafs. Mayweather and McGregor's fight was bulls**t too but at least they're actual fighters. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5209 posts | It's going to be f**king awful The average pro heavyweight fight is hard enough to watch these days, in both boxing and mma These guys will be throwing single shots and hugging all around the ring I won't be watching it live No interest to be honest I'll watch fury v Wilder and AJ v Pulev and hopefully see a real cracking fight next year | ||

It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | Why people look at this event as a boxing match? It's a freak show. They will never shrink to 120 kg range. Bigorexia for life. | ||
