I saw Gareth A Davies in the petrol garage a few weeks back... M&S one of course.

Ok if you think they are scripted (and I'm not saying your wrong), here's a thought experiment for you. Your AJ. Your about to fight Jake for 70million or whatever. The script says that JP gives you a hard time in the early rounds but you fight to a decision victory, and as such your supposed to be pulling your punches etc and letting him land. One of the shots that you let him land gets thrown with a bit more intensity than it should have (or maybe Jake double crosses you and does it on purpose), and you get sparked out. Your now a laughing stock, the big payday Fury fight is as good as dead, you cant admit that it was staged or the feds will lock you and Eddie up... seems like a hell of a shit situation. Wouldn't you be better off just going in there regardless of whether theres a script or not and Icing Disney boy as soon as possible? what's he gonna do? complain you didn't follow the script and tap him for 8 rounds? I dont see any world where AJ benefits from following a script

I don't think a 60 year old Mike was much of a threat to Jake Paul. Yeah he looked good in small bursts on the pads, but there's no way he could keep that up for even one round. IMO the hesitation he showed in that "fight" was less about saving JP and more about not getting into a brawl with a man who's half his age. AJ is a different kettle of fish though. If he goes in there with the intention of doing damage, Jake will want to quit on his stool

He's not got a granite chin like Wardley, Joyce (pre zhang), Usyk or the great Dave Allen, but I wouldn't say it's Glass. He's never been one punch ko'd like Amir Kahn or Huni for instance. The only 2 times AJ has been stopped he was stopped a few rounds after taking the initial equilibrium shot. I'm no AJ fan, but there are levels to this sport and Jake is so far below AJ it's crazy

Another "proppa pod" listener? As far as this fight being "scripted" goes, i cant see it. There may be an unwritten gentlemans agreement to let it go a few rounds before turning up the heat, but a secret contract etc would be career suicide for Eddie Hearn. Match fixing or betting fraud would get the FBI involved, and would it be the end for Matchroom in the USA if not globally if anyone blew the whistle... all for what? It's a big event but nothing beyond other cards Eddie's been involved with. If it's a no holds barred fight, then AJ gets the job done in 1 round.

This is something that matters to me, we've got trailed Bandit 75 atm and the build strength is next level compared to Forst and TW etc. Means that machine feeding it with the digger is no problem. I'd love a tracked 12xp Bandit but they're simply too big for a lot of the canal and wetland sites we work on (footpaths, tow paths etc) TP look nice

Won't be Santa, he exclusively uses a MEWP these days due to his size and age

TW280 looks good, have they released one with a big stage 5 diesel yet?

They were for a split second, then got recalled for a pin or something. Now looking at Jan/Feb I think. Reflex is half the price so I thought worth a shot, if the blackbird comes and looks better I'll give this to my lad to use as he's on a ZZ now

Sounds like Land Rovers business strategy!

What are you running now Mick? still got the Forst or changed it?

Honey Bros now have a few of these in stock if anyones keen to try. I've ordered one for Tuesday delivery. My Spider jack 3 is approaching 10 years old and I can't wait any longer for the Blackbird! Will report back

Not spoilt for choice in the 8" diesel tracked variety though? 4 off the top of my head, one of which is hybrid?

Aggressive feed until the top roller shears off its hydraulic motor, as happened with a few I know of.

Better than a TR8? Genuinely in the market and looking at all options
