You’ve got to hand it to that bloke.
He looked done - another rich, arrogant footballer who lost his way.
To make his way back to the top table is pretty amazing.
If we accept that Fati and Dahoud were flops, and go along with the speculation that they were RDZ-initiated signings.
Then that may have lead to Bloom losing faith in RDZ‘s judgment on incoming transfers.
Which in turn may have led to Bloom being unwilling to match RDZ’s spending ambitions...
Usyk may well decide to forgo the rematch and retire.
His high intensity style, and the training that comes with it, must be getting tougher now he’s late 30s.
Besides, he has won everything. Beaten everyone worth beating. He has more money than he will ever need. Plus, he‘s been messed around...
RDZ‘s Albion (briefly) played the best football ever seen at the club imo.
Hopefully that’s how he will be remembered as that period may never be matched.
Normally when there’s a super fight, it’s a crap undercard. But thanks to Saudi oil money, that’s not the case tonight. There are two or three fights worth watching before the main event. So tune in early.
Hopefully Fury takes the same approach as in Wilder 2 fight and we get a dust up.
Although the most likely outcome is points, after a cagey and close 36 minutes. Then it comes down to the style the judges prefer.
