I've started doing Yoga recently, no jokes

  There's nothing unmanly about being surrounded by yoga panted women.

I do it in the house 

Oh, I take it back then

Have to be careful, it's quite dangerous...

Friend of mine was cycling along the river training for a triathlon about 2 weeks ago. Upon encountering a group of women doing some outdoor yoga he sat stopped, parked (?) his bike and had a pint, taking in the errrrr...view. I'm sure he's referring to the Castle or some other scenery ofc...

Anyway, being the gregarious New Zealander that he is, he decides to have a pint whilst he enjoys the view. This is the Czech Republic where a pint is an essential part of any training regime you understand. Anyway...three or four scoops later, off he rides. For 200m, where he comes pissedly off the bike, breaks a rib (unbeknownst to him at the time) and loses his keys. His wife and three kids (who all have spare keys) are 300km away in the mountains for the weekend and since it's his ex wife, there's no way he was going there or they were coming here before Monday.

My floor it is then. He attempted to then do the triathlon last weekend. Didn't exactly go well.

See? Yoga - bad for you if you're not careful.

That's surprising, as I seem to remember him saying that he doesn't really cut weight, and walks around at close to fighting weight all the time.

A lot of the UFC fighters are going to be moving up weight classes soon, because IVs are due to be banned in the near future.

What round grouping do we fancy for Joshua? I am tempted by the 4-6 at present.  Trying to get some ice cream bets to keep my interest

1-3 will post a bit more in an hour or so.

[Woodsey]

So is the Joshua fight around 9? Sky I'm assuming also?

Ring walk at 10 I heard, on sky

Between 10 and 10:30

I'll be cheering on the big teuchter but AJ really is a monster. Boxing Monthly put AJ at 5 in their heavyweight world rankings and copped a lot of flack for it. This month, Graham Houston gave a great explanation as to why AJ was ranked as high as he was. From what I've read from him, Graham sounds like incredibly shrewd boxing journalist and he really gets gambling odds.

[Bazzaboy]

I think this will be over quickly. Cornish is very upright and AJ won't have any trouble landing.

[McGlashan]

It's AJ vs Gary Cornish and Dillian Whyte vs Brian Minto, with AJ v Whyte pencilled in for December.

They've kinda been sandbagging with AJ and only let him off the leash in the Kevin Johnson fight. I make AJ rounds 1-3 @ 1.1 shot and went for the full 3 incase he starts slowly.

Cus they've been sandbagging, I see AJ's performance being directly related to Whyte's. If Whyte finishes off Brian Minto real early then I can see AJ coming out in full beast mode as he attempts to one up his rival. The bookies have kinda ducked the option of having a double on grouped rounds so I'll wait and see what happens in the Whyte fight.

 

[McGlashan]

Cliffs: Cornish is shit and AJ is shit hot.

[McGlashan]

u5.5 round line in Whyte's fight looks too high. On paper Minto goes rounds, in reality Minto is a short notice opponent and his fitness could be questionable. 

And then there's the question of whether you believe Whyte's last opponent got paid to take a dive and deny Whyte proper preparation for AJ.

Looks like he has been bashed up a few times before.  His nose is fucked.
