SirShymexx:


It's one thing to want it badly so as to leave on a high. However, it's another thing for the body to have what it takes to deliver due to age. And he doesn't have his brother, Vitali's punching power.

Look at his last three fights with half-decent heavyweight boxers: Fury, Povetkin, and Jennings. He lost to Fury because he couldn't use the height/reach advantage for his effective jabs, while he won via UD against both Povetkin and Jennings who're 6'2 and 6'3 respectively. And none of the three has AJ's speed, power, and amateur pedigree.

Picture what Mike Tyson did to Larry Holmes...that's what's gonna happen tonight. Just give me props when it happens lol.

Haha. Okay. Will do.

Give me props too if AJ loses.

The naija part of me wants him to win though. Did you watch the BBC documentary on him? It was on TV last week and you can catch up on iplayer. He really does deserve all the success he has earned.

Top 10 boxing matches held in stadiums


1. Julio Cesar Chavez v Greg Haugen - Estadio Azteca, 1993
In terms of fight attendance, Julio Cesar Chavez against Greg Haugen was quite simply the biggest fight in boxing history. A record 132,274 crowd packed into Estadio Azteca in Mexico City to witness Chavez unleash a merciless beating on Haugen. The stage was set with barbed wire and a moat surrounding the ring to protect both fighters from a pulsating mob baying for Haugen's blood.

2. Henry Cooper v Cassius Clay - Wembley Stadium 1963, Highbury 1966

The two heavyweight greats twice traded blows in an English football stadium - the first, held in front of a 35,000-strong Wembley Stadium crowd in 1963, is largely considered to be one of the best yet most controversial bouts in history.


3. Joe Bugner v Frank Bruno - White Hart Lane, 1987
A clash of the titans in North London; Australian Joe Bugner, who fought such greats as Cooper, Ali and Joe Frazier, was vociferously jeered by a White Hart Lane crowd during a pugilistic battle with home-favourite Bruno.


4. Lennox Lewis v Frank Bruno - Cardiff Arms Park, 1993
Some 25,784 fans watched as Bruno impressively took the fight to Lewis. Bruno frustrated Lewis by cancelling out the champion's right-handers, but it was not to be third time lucky for Frank; Lewis caught him with a powerful left-hander in the seventh round before referee Micky Vann stopped the fight with Bruno staggering on his feet


5. Nigel Benn v Chris Eubank - Old Trafford, 1993

'Judgement Day' in Manchester. The WBC super-middleweight champion against the WBO champion. Benn-Eubank II, 47,000 fight fans and a rematch between two magnificent warriors fuelled by their hatred for each other; not only the biggest fight of a generation, but arguably the biggest fight ever built up between two British adversaries.

6. Mike Tyson v Lou Savarese - Hampden Park, 2003
A farce of a fight which ended on a sour note in Scotland. Tyson, three fights into his latest comeback, simply went ballistic as soon as the first bell sounded. He knocked Savarese to the canvas in 15 seconds with virtually his first meaningful shot, but his opponent recovered.
Savarese should probably have stayed down, for Tyson continued to barrage him like a man possessed and landed near enough every punch he threw. Referee John Coyle intervened, only for Tyson to shove him to the floor as well. Tyson's corner stepped in, Coyle raised his hand to leave the Scottish crowd booing after witnessing only 38 seconds of action.
The post-fight interview was just as infamous, with Tyson - who has since admitted in his autobiography that he was high on marijuana and cocaine for the fight - virtually incoherent. "Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man," he ranted. "My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"



7 Joe Calzaghe v Mikkel Kessler - Millennium Stadium, 2007
Over 50,000 people were in attendance to watch Joe Calzaghe unify the super-middleweight division with an enthralling unanimous decision win over Mikkel Kessler. Both fighters were previously unbeaten and entered the ring as world No.1 and world No.2 respectively, while the fight was Calzaghe's 21st defence of the WBO belt.

Kessler gave everything he had in order to keep hold of his WBC and WBA titles, but Calzaghe - buoyed on by a thunderous home crowd -stood firm to ensure his dominance as the world's best super-middleweight.

8.Ricky Hatton v Juan Lazcano - City of Manchester Stadium, 2008
Ricky Hatton's 'Homecoming' fight following his first-ever defeat as a professional, to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Despite this fight not carrying the enormity or the hype of Benn-Eubank II, Manchester still turned out in its droves to welcome back their beloved son. 55,000 fans - a post-war record attendance for a British fight - welcomed Hatton into the ring to a rousing rendition of 'High Ho Ricky Hatton' and his original crowd pleaser, Blue Moon.
But they were not treated to a classic Hatton performance - far from it - in the defence of his IBO title. Hatton was rocked in the eighth, and again in the tenth, as Lazcano showed spirit which was not meant to have been included in the script. Somehow, Hatton held on and even gave MC Michael Buffer a hug as he announced


9.Wladimir Klitschko v David Haye - Imtech Arena, 2011
Not David Haye's finest moment in a boxing ring. In drab, wet, chilly conditions which reflected his performance, Haye struggled to make any noticeable impact against an all-dominant Wladimir Klitschko.
Home to Hamburger SV, Haye was simply devoured by Klitschko in a procession a world away from the fight's official poster tag of 'The War'. It was meant to be the unification of several world heavyweight titles, but Haye finished by throwing anything and everything without much consideration.
Klitschko won, as expected, by unanimous decision and Haye was left to lick his wounds. The Brit went on to blame his substandard showing partly on a broken toe he had suffered weeks before the fight. In October 2011, three months after losing to Klitschko, Haye announced his retirement - but he would be back before long.


10. David Haye v Dereck Chisora - Upton Park, 2012
A year after losing to Klitschko, Haye returned to the ring for a second consecutive stadium fight. In front of 30,000 spectators he took on British rival Dereck Chisora in a grudge fight dubbed 'Licence to Thrill'.
The bout occurred in bizarre circumstances; Haye and Chisora came to blows in the aftermath of the latter's WBC world heavyweight title loss to Vitali Klitschko. Tempers flared at the post-fight press conference which resulted in a brawl between the two Brits. Despite issuing a statement of apology, Chisora had his British boxing licence revoked and the pair's animosity reached fever pitch.
Despite many objecting to it, the fight went ahead under licensing from the Luxembourg Boxing Federation and Haye finally got his revenge. Chisora worried him with a fierce left hook at the end of the third, but Haye recovered to end the slugfest in the fifth round by knockout. The pair hugged at the end and admitted a new-found respect for each other in their press-conference; quite the opposite to Benn and Eubank.
