There's talk coming from Carl Froch that apparently there are clauses going in mike Tyson's contract that if he KOs Jake he gets paid less, less if he pastes him in rd1 and so on. I hope that's not the case but it is just a Netflix money grab so wouldn't be surprised.
How much to bite an ear off? 
I'd pay mike for that Yazza54 said:

I hope the winner of Wilder Zhang does not get a world title shot as Parker beat both of them so surely he should be next in line.
Interesting matchup all the same. I think Zhang will prevail. 6th round stoppage.
If Wilder wins with an early stoppage and takes no damage, Turki said he wants him to face Big Baby Anderson on the August LA card. That seems improbable, though, but AJ has Wembley booked for September. Most likely opponent is the winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois, but Usyk is petitioning the IBF to let him keep the winner of that bout is the mandatory for, if he's successful, AJ won't have any reason to fight them. Then, I think it'll be AJ vs WilderInteresting matchup all the same. I think Zhang will prevail. 6th round stoppage.
More likely though, Big Bang knocks Wilder the f
k out, then I'm not sure what they'll do with him and Wilder will retire. Yazza54 said:

I don't think it matters, I'll put myself out there for ire and wrath, but if it is a real fight then Jake will do serious damage to Tyson. Pugaris said:

Just watching the weigh-in and they happened to interview Okolie and Moses Itauma. Okolie was asked about the time when he was sparring a 15 year old Itauma... what he said was quite interesting....surprisingly candid!

Thanks guys. I really liked it too. I'm sure whatever field we work in, we have likely all come across a very occasional precocious talent, and it is tempting to play them down, as it makes them feel less of a 'threat' to our own ego. So to see Okolio having the self-confidence to give him his props was really nice.

Was a great fight considering how wide the results on the cards were, you would never have thought it was that tense if you just saw the scores!
Looking forward to Bell v Ford
Agree. It was a fight where the score cards don't really tell the story.Looking forward to Bell v Ford
Onto this next fight.... Ford is looking sharp...
