FIFA should hand the award process back to France football magazine. They are clueless. Even Balon D'or awards of yesteryear had many dodgy awards but none as silly as this year.

Lol some of you are finally seeing the light. Thank God

Congratulations on your new born btw. Stumbled on that just now

raumdeuter:
Any award that is not based on actual output e.g highest goal scorer is prone to politicking and favoritism. Like Osun it should be administered by INEC and declared inconclusive

What we have been telling them over 2 years ago. They are just seeing it now!

You people always carrying individual polling booth awards for head se o tan yin?

Can't Ribery just phuck off to China?

Roland17:
Baba,

The heavyweight category in boxing is all about power and that is one of AJ's strength. Look no further than his 20 KO's in 21 fights to buttress this fact. Heavyweight boxers do not necessarily prioritize speed, rather, power, balance and controlled movement. He also looks well conditioned and that means he is able to carry his weight deep into fights while maintaining the power in his jabs.

Is he juicing? that is an argument to be made but if you watch Joshua's training regime you would see why it is easier on the eye because he puts the work in and the combination of cardio and weights provides that trim we are seeing.

AJ would look to finish this quick and in the instance, it goes deep, he has the conditioning and balance to get a favorable decision against 39-year-old Povetkin. AJ has the youth, power jabs/ haymakers, and conditioning to go the distance if necessary.

Any other result will be a huge upset.

AJ did look a bit gassed though. He was breathing via his mouth at a point.

Fury vs Wilder is set. Do you think Fury stands a legit chance? I saw Fury struggle with pizzaman Pianeta and I've always been a bit underwhelmed with his sheer lack of KO power for a guy his size. And it's likely he would need a KO to take the belt off Deontay

nihilistjnr:
Mehn I ready to bet 2k pounds with am. How's the man going to say Manyoo gone finish outside top 10. infact I np suppose call am bet- na investment

Joshua is a whopping 2 stone heavier and he looks ripped as fück. My spidersense is tingling - that guy must be on the juice.

Have you seen his workout routine? Man does some heavy cardio sessions and eats only around 8k Calories a day reportedly....yet he's putting on more and more muscle everytime we see him.


hey need to investigate that guy.

I hope that povetkin can use the weight deficit to his advantage and tire Joshua out before sending him back to sagamu with an uppercut. However I suspect that AJ takes this one again - that weight advantage is ridiculous. If Povetkin allows one or two Haymakers to land with the weight of 17 stone behind the gloves, it could be early lights out.

Wey them roland17 a40 and airmark?

Na who dem catch be thief.

I don't know if there's any boxer with heavier KO power than AJ in the division. I'm still suprised he was unable to floor Parker but I honestly think he needs to change his fighting style. He was incredibly slow off the blocks and would not get away with this against a Deontay. I have also noticed he struggles with shorter dudes so this is where I feel he won't be at a disadvantage against Fury or Wilder. Povetkin dropped some bombs yo

afrodoc:
AJ’s chin is suspect

Lool guy that Povetkin dey throw blow ooh! I can't say for Fury but those hooks by Povetkin would buckle Wilder for sure.

raumdeuter:
A team still needs experience and stability, playing 6 20yr olds in your starting eleven is a recipe for disaster

DO you see Leipzig making it from their group because I dont see them

Kai Harvetz is talented and touted to be a playmaker like Ozil, lets see how he does with Leverkusen since he has finished High school and can focus on football not taking time off to write exams

Their Europa League campaign played a big role in them not finishing in the top four. Truth be told RB Leipzig are way ahead of schedule and are probably due a few struggle seasons. It might be in their best interest to not advance in the Europa League this season

raumdeuter:
Will they make it to Europe next season with the way results are going

All these small kids they loaded the team with. I think they are overdoing this young player project

Their Full back 4 today was Laimer 21yrs, and Mukuele 20yrs. Then 2 CBs that are 19. How can your central pairing be 2 19yr olds? Upamecano is 19, Konate is 19. in attack Cunha is 19yrs, Augustin is 21

Thats like 6 players who are around 20yrs of age

They can make Europe methinks. Their project is understandable due to their FFP restrictions.

What I don't understand is why they benched both Forsberg and Werner. To be fair I dey follow RB Salzburg and they are no joke! Last season they almost got to the Finals of the Europa League

If you ask me I'd suggest they focus on the league and free Iropa League for the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal

By the way I hope Bayern is looking at Kai Havertz with side eye. That kid is the future

FBS:
lol., so when you dey show face? tey tey now we never see vettel fan boys. not easy I know.

We dey here even when LH ain't performing well...but as you can see, the boy is good. Just doing his thing and in a slower car. We no dey shout.

The thread has been largely dormant but if we're being objective I'm usually here whether Seb wins or not. You dey pop up whenever Hamilton wins or is doing well. Anybody following the trail of the thread can see it

Seb na him fumble sha. I don't know about slower car. The last two races showed that that argument was largely a myth.

raumdeuter:
I didnt watch Leipzig game and I dont think they have it in them to make it out of the groups. Selling Naby Keita was too much and soon they will also come lament how its Bayerns fault
Ragnick the team manager is also coaching the team, if the results continue to go bad, will he sack himself?
I thought they or someone from the Buli should have gotten Marco Rose the Salzburg coach

I wonder why he still keeps Werner and Forsberg on the bench

Their defense is terrible. I think they had their eyes on the weekend games. We've not bought anyone from Leipzig anyway so they have no argument.

Nagelsmann is joining them next year so they might as well ride it out with Rangnick

Lmaooo eleyi deep gaan. That KAT be like bolor sha

Chai e pain me for Leipzig oh! What a cracker of a game

Frankfurt and Leverkusen came from behind to win their games. Overall a good day for the Buli

diadem10:
What are you saying sef? Did you read the post you quoted? Fyi, Mbappe was rubbish yesterday apart from the goal he scored which he even sabotaged with his gafe at the end. Lost countless of ball due to his poor close control and was clueless on the ball.

Btw, I had never claimed all is lost for him but that his potential is better maximized as a centre forward cos he offers nothing else apart from his finishing and pace and if he fails to learn the rudiments of a centre forward role as quick as possible now, he might end up as Walcott, Muller, Rooney et al who all became washed as soon as they lost their pace at 26/27yrs when they should have been at their peak at that age.

We are seeing your yeye Thomas Lemar contributing zilch to Atletico Madrid and you're here shading a 19 year old who is far from the finished article

It seems the concept of early peak and early decline is also lost on you because I don't see how players who have been balling since their late teens wouldn't be expected to experience some loss in form when they get to their late 20's

Why were the likes of Raul, Henry, Kluivert also declining at their late 20's? Did they suddenly forget the rudiments of forward play or what is your point sef?

airmark:
Pkasso is the only sensible bayern fan on this forum. Nincompoops like raumdeuter and a40 don't like him.

Nobody rates you or likes you amongst sensible Barca, Chelsea, United and Bayern fans. Your stewpidity is constant like Nigeria's epileptic power supply. It unites all of us in agreement even when we disagree on every other thing

Chelseafan1:
Lol, thank God this honourable man right here isn't a Chelsea nor Hazard fan.

Afrodoc, Afrodoc1, Afrodoc2, A40, Raumdeuter won't like this at all. They won't.

Let your Hidden Shakushaku return to CL footie before any discussions on this matter go start. Person wey no pass WAEC can't be laughing at another person wey get extra year

Man of the match gats be Alaba. He was a beast!!

A40:
Bellarabi has to suffer a lengthy ban for sure. That was a demonic tackle from Him.

The only thing I can possibly pick from the Tolisso injury now is that Renato would never get a better chance to make a stand in that team. I hope he can take advantage of this rather unfortunate situation

He heard me. He heard me

Coman out till next year at the very least. Thiago likely out for today's game. Na real wa

raumdeuter:
Mbappe showed his age and inexperience, trying a nutmeg in front of his box when a counter was on.

He is 19 and would learn from this

I'm still looking for that hipster clown Kagawa abi na Diadem10 that was comparing Mbappe to Thomas Lemar. I really owe myself an apology for engaging that dude and his verbose megedefegede

Wa wo telly wa wo telly

So what happened to your brain, for adding Cardiff to your post, as the reason I put Hazard above Ribery this season?.

A40:
Everybody knows Ribery is done so why are you perennially phoolish like this? Prime Ribery was voted best player in Europe. Mention me when your Hidden shakushaku achieves that and stop frothing in my mentions like a camel in heat

This initial reply should have told any reasonable human being that I'm not interested in your nonsense comparisons as even I don't rate Ribery. But just like a shigidi you have eyes but cannot see

airmark:
The post you replied to, was it posted after Hazards goals against Cardiff? You no just get brain.

Shut up your mouth you odious bullfrog. So what happened to the other two teams I listed? Anybody with a functioning brain gets the crux of the gist. Except an electronic nuisance like yourself. Elejo wewe

Roland17:
GGG looked lethargic and "father time" has definitely affected his conditioning, (He was out of breath and gasping for breath at some point before the start of the 8th round while Canelo had controlled breathing throughout)aggression, intensity and the power of his punches/jabs, that being said, I don't understand how Canelo continued to come forward despite loads of jab he got.

Moreso, apart from the upper right eye cut, his chin was as tough as a lion's hide which makes me question Canelo's cleanliness in this fight. GGG looked hesitant during the first half of the fight but I think he got the 2nd half and he had GGG on the ropes and in the past, he would have knocked Canelo out in the 10/11 round when Canelo staggered.

In my opinion, GGG won that fight and the fact that another judge scored the fight a draw leads to believe De La Hoya is bad for the sport of boxing. Canelo was quite aggressive and relentless and I give him credit for that. He has definitely lost tons of body fat and looks more agile and mobile. He delivered a lot of body blows which I think counted and sold his aggression to the judges. I was worried when GGG's corner whispered "We are losing" after the 5th round or 6th, not sure which it was but it kind of showed that his corner was concerned about his early display.

A rematch is in the works and I can't wait but GGG is not getting any younger, the fight has to happen very soon. GGG looked very upset and disappointed with the result and rightfully so. I hope he channels that energy into training harder for the rematch.

I guess for the honour of winning back your belts but honestly I struggle to see any point in facing a guy who with the help of crooked judges has been able to rob you twice. I heard that was supposed to be GGG's last fight on HBO.

I do wonder why GGG did not go for the bodyshots which are his bread and butter. I liken Canelo's style to what Sugar Ray did when he fought Hagler but I don't believe he should be rewarded merely for coming forward. The only guy that came remotely close to putting his opponent on the mat was GGG

raumdeuter:
Tolliso out for 6 months
Coman out for 5months
Rafinha out for 4 weeks

This is matchday 3. This Bundesliga players are too physical and the refs are not protecting us at all

Bellarabi has to suffer a lengthy ban for sure. That was a demonic tackle from Him.

The only thing I can possibly pick from the Tolisso injury now is that Renato would never get a better chance to make a stand in that team. I hope he can take advantage of this rather unfortunate situation

chic2pimp:
I'm not sure I am in total agreement with you. I thought the fight was much closer than you think it was. It could have gone either way methinks as they were at each other's throat all through the night although admitedly Triple G was the more busier boxer of the two. I don't agree with the judges score cards however. The Judge that had it 114-114 got it just right methinks. The other two that had it 115-113 were definitely high on crack. Canelo was simply not THAT dominant.



Really? .... I'll have to rewatch it again as from where I was sat, It wasn't that Clear cut. The betting odds seem to suggest GGG had it pretty much all sown up.

It was closer than the first fight but GGG still landed more bombs IMO than the first fight. I had a newfound level of respect for Canelo's chin. But Canelo definitely didn't win that fight. It really kills the thrill of the sport when you keep seeing these rubbish decisions. It was a disgrace

Roland17:
I am also worried about GGG's mindset from the standpoint that he does not look as hungry and intimidating as he used to. I know he made light work of Martirosyan but there were moments in that fight where he got jabbed. As for Canelo, I still don't trust him and like you, I have raised concerns for his new trim look, I just hope it is natural and not conned. I really want to see the beast in GGG reappear, I watched Lomehenko and I had goosebumps because the intensity and power reminded me of GGG.

I understand the judge that scored the first fight will not be involved in this fight and I think the boxing federation is trying to get an aggressive fight with that decision. Rumor has it Mayweather owes a lot in taxes, again, na rumor but e no go surprise me.

You can see the ojoro ojukoroju I predicted. These manipulations don dey turn Boxing to WWE for my eye

chic2pimp:
Roland,A40 and Afrodoc,

What happened to your Boy this morning? Looks like He has lost that bit of edge He had in the past. At one point, I thought I was watching Prettyboy rather than Canelo with the way He was dodging punches. Methinks round 3 is on the cards as there are those who think GGG won that Fight.

Lol I was a bit suprised by the slow start but I still think GGG was better from Round 2. Canelo at most won just 5 rounds in that fight but like I accurately predicted. GGG was not going to get the KO he would need to not give Oscar De La Wayo any chance to manipulate proceedings. What we witnessed last night was a crying disgrace and a slap in the face of boxing

$100 would have won you $500 by Live Bet if you had put money on Canelo in Round 12. That was how unlikely it looked to the unbiased eye

Roland17:
Are you watching tonight's fight? Canelo or GGG?

Also, your boy greedy Mayweather wants another fight with Manny this year. I will wait until after Youtube uploads two old men trying to scam boxing fans.

You can bet a stack I'm watching the fight bro. I can see Canelo has lost some weight and looks leaner so he's clearly off them roids *fingers crossed* my singular worry for GGG is basically the age factor and the fact that his KO power isn't at the level it would take to knock a guy with a strong chin like Canelo clean out because I no trust that onijibiti De La Hoya not to pull off another heist.

Thunder fire Mayweather. Is he running broke already? I'd give up all hope on humanity if that fight gets even 10,000 PPV buys. Nobody cares anymore

airmark:
Ajakaja40, your mentor believes RIbery of today is the same thing as Hazard of today.

Direct your insults to your foolish mentor who equated someone with no key pass and no successful dribble, no assist and no goal, to Hazard with assists, goals and key passes this season. Dindinrin meji.

This Apoche cra cra is an extremely ret@rded chap!

So because your Hidden Shakushaku is shining against European heavyweights like Cardiff City,Huddersfield and Bournemouth we no go hear word again?

Odaaran ponbele! Hazard's mates are gearing up to face the likes of PSG, Juve and Inter on Tuesday while your shakushaku master would be visiting the burial sites of Apostle Paul and other disciples of Christ on Thursday. Nwanne if you no comot for my circumference

Hayyyyy Chineke God who we offend ooh! This team needs deliverance because this thing no be ordinary eye anymore
