Re: Anthony Joshua
If anyone has an upset in them it's Ngannou. Parker is far too inaccurate when the action gets heavy. This is a bad fight for him to take right after Wilder and even if he wins I don't see him getting a title shot. Parker is fighting Zhang, Ngannou is fighting Joshua. Yes I realize that I was refer...

Why do the Craps keep selecting this turkey. Can't bat, can't bowl, contributes nothing. Just like Craig McMillion. Appears undroppable, very occasionally scores a few runs against minnows. Useless.

Greater risk, greater reward. It's not necessarily unsuccessful, but they will come unstuck occasionally against teams willing to chance their arm and go for tries when there is less on the line. So it’s not so much about their style but about other teams losing the nerve when it comes to continuin...

I still can't fathom why, at 1 point down, and plenty of possession they didn't set up and execute a droppie. Or why they turned down kickable shots in the first half. Utterly brainless in a final.

One of the English pundits saying Eddie timed it for today to steal a bit of limelight away from the RWC final.
