    Never in my 47 years have I seen a man speak with such certainty on a subject he has such limited knowledge on. His analysis of the first Usyk Fury fight was "a good big 'un beats a good littl' un" I mean come on , smh....

    Simon Jordan knows absolutely nothing about boxing and absolutely nothing about how to prepare for a professional boxing match and knows diddly squat about body conditioning. Jordan made a lot of money with mobile phones 80 years ago and then owned a football team where he upset everyone he came into contact with. Amazes me how people give this man airtime and listen to his opinion as of it means anything.
