  • What a waste of a great pod

    Why has Buncey’s amazing pod been linked to a nonsense with an idiot who thinks Ali wouldn’t win a world title in this era (and he didn’t qualify it by acknowledging he’s dead)

    This idiot actually argued that peak Ali would lose to AJ because AJ is tall. 🙈🙈🤷‍♂️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Smith Shines in Sheffield Homecoming
Q: Did you know going into round 11 and 12 that it was really tight, it was still up for grabs? Did you sense that in yourself?
Smith says he thought he was about a round ahead after round 10 and knew he needed to take the final two rounds to secure the win.
Smith Shines in Sheffield Homecoming
Q: Just try and tell me what that felt like.
Smith says the adrenaline was high and describes the win as one of two major victories in the division that year. He says Puello was a tricky opponent and that he had to recover after switching off early.
Dubois v Wardley II - The Debrief
Q: Do you feel it was maybe a little bit too soon for you?
Wardley said the timing was not too soon. He had not executed his game plan properly, accepted responsibility, and planned to return to the drawing board.
Dubois v Wardley II - The Debrief
Q: Talk to me about your mentality going into this one. There seems to be a different dynamic maybe for you coming into this rematch because you were going to the first one off the back of a new sick loss, but you were the champion going into this. Did that make a difference for you, do you feel?
Dubois said his back had been against the wall in the first fight, but this time the team needed to show they meant business, which they did.
Dubois v Wardley II - Fight Preview
Q: What does Fabio Wardley need to do to turn the rematch around?
Woodhall says Wardley needs to attack in the first four or five rounds, when Dubois may be vulnerable, and finish the job if he hurts him. If the fight goes longer, Wardley must avoid low hands and erratic attacks and find a way around Dubois's jab.
