Okay gents a quartet of fights which the bookies all have pretty close, a little surprised they see Kownacki a clear favourite given the outcome of their first meeting but... I was considering including the Cheeseman vs Williamson fight and making it a two thread week but in the end couldn't be arsed, got me a nice dose of COVID and whilst I ain't about to drop dead it has kicked the stuffing outta me a little.

Ajagba vs Sanchez should deliver, probably explosively, hard to imagine that one going the distance and I think consensus will probably be that Frank is the better boxer of the pair but I certainly can't make a pick with any degree of certainty. Figure Beefy gotta have a clear edge here just with his far greater experience... genuinely never been super impressed with Fowler myself anyway, but still a decent fight.

Wilder vs Fury? Well..sure, you rolls the dice I guess. I suppose it's possible Malik has managed to change up Wilders game somehow or devise some tactic that'll baffle Fury, but I ain't holding my breath. What it'll probably come down to is whether you believe Wilder will somehow land that one big shot which probably means banking on Fury getting sloppy. Your choice gents.

Best of luck

Oh, yeah... I'll try to gewt the updating done before the weekend... time ain't the issue cos I got another week of isolating yet, but I'm literally not sure if I can work up the concentration for it right now - even stringing sentences together's feeling like hard work at the moment.

Thank you my friend. Honestly physically not more than a nasty flu so far but I'm kinda oscillating between sharp headaches and a brain fog that's bordering on delirium. Me and Ms K just spent 10 minutes cracked up laughing feebly at each other for how pathetic we both looked wrapped up in hoodies and blankets unable to decide who should get up to make a brew.

Except the laughing and the fact that I can't cook an egg, you just described my daily life
