Im getting nervous ... not so much that JP will lose but that the fight could be a fizzer.
The build up is calm , JP has been out and about fulfilling media and personal appearances- showing vids of training but nothing intensive or meaningful..
Just hope complacency hasn't sunk in.
Might be nothing.
Junior Fa - this is a golden opportunity

JP badly needs some breaks to go his way

Maybe this is the year

He also needs to revise his plans of retiring at 30. Needs to make it 33.

No boxer retires at 30 .. unless injuries
David Haye said same thing ...

without being dramatic what happens if lockdown continues or goes to level 4 = no crowds... will fight go on?

I would have thought that Level 2 would be no crowds and level 3 would be cancelled. Can see it being postponed if it doesn't get back to level 1.

[bart]

yeah lets hope (for all reasons) the lockdown only lasts the 72hrs

Spare a thought for markk and Mr Higgins, Jr. and Joe, and all us fans! Make it happen!
