Zinad’s corner is well entertaining, they might end up scrapping themselves

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
My ideal scenario is Wilder gets sent to the shadow realm and Eddie has to do the interview with Wilder still on the canvas
Bivol does the business.
Bivol really is something.
Can’t call Wilder and Zhang. I really don’t rate Wilder at all but Zhang is maybe the sort of fighter who has made him look good in the past.

Hrgovic for me here
Dubois’ defence is fecking awful, may as well have no guard at all
Great scrap so far
Don’t you find Dubois so frustrating? So often you’re willing him on to step on the gas and own a fight….and he just doesn’t
He just seems to run out of gas. Think his heart is there since the Joyce fight but he does seem to run out of energy
Huge round from Daniel
Most heart Dubois has ever shown, but he simply cannot continue to fight like he does or he's a true CTE candidate. Blocking those punches with his face is terrible for his long-term health.
Well I’m pleased for him there. Got off his hole and battered Hrgovic into submission. He’s good when he finds that belief
His guard is so amateurish. Up near his face but never blocking shots. It’s proper basic stuff
His feet are also all over the place; guy never rolls a punch. Gets hit flush so often, it's crazy.
What time is the Wilder - Zhang fight? I didn't even know it was on but might get it on since I'm still up.
Starting now
Wilders legs don't look real 
More atmosphere at City's parade.
This fight is very poor so far.
Yeah both looking past their prime
Chris Wilder would have given Zhang more of a fight than that. What a fecking bum.
That was a terrible fight
Wilder not been the same since Fury got off the canvas in that first fight to get draw
Why did he turn to the ref to complain after getting clipped?
Wilder shown up for the bum he is.
Yeah ever since he's looked scared to get hit, he had a half decent spell in that round but then reverted back to trying not to be hit.
Like a sparring session for Zhang.
He should've retired a few fights ago. Only in there to get paydays now. Don't know how much he got paid for tonight, but I think he's weighed up the worth of these final big nights and has thought feck it, why not? But his heart is not there anymore and the one thing that made him so dangerous (his confidence he could throw and land the bomb) has deserted him, so he doesn't even attempt to do so anymore.
Promoters shouldn't be booking him at the rates they are anymore. He's done.
AJ Wilder cannot happen after that.
Been reading few people saying Ngannou vs Wilder for a "Whoever loses leaves boxing" fight.
Wilder is done. A shell of his former self.
It'll be Dubois AJ
Wilder is surely done after this and will retire. He’s lost four of his last five fights. He’s lost against every decent boxer he’s ever faced. He had a long undefeated run by fighting absolute nobodies. The highest ranked and best fighter he ever fought before Fury was a 40 year old Luis Ortiz, who had the better of that fight until a late knockout. After that he’s been comprehensively beaten by Fury (twice), Parker and now Zhang. He’s taken a lot of heavy punishment, that has surely rattled around the few brain cells he had, and he’d be better off for his health just packing it in. He’s not a credible opponent for anyone in the top ten.
Chicken legs got cooked again
I saw this comment on youtube:
The thing about Wilder is, he was never any good. He was knocking out very poor opposition for the most part. All time great punch but that's about it.
Zhang with no fecking chill with that knockout.
Watching some of usyk's previous fights and he's generally pretty reserved about dishing additional damage when an opponent goes down, an interesting attribute off his and whether it's for sportsmanship or somethings else I don't know.
David Haye's live reactions watching Usyk hammering Fury in the 9th round - very gif worthy if not meme worthy!
Wilders often done that when getting clipped from a legit shot. Done it against Ortiz, Fury 2, Parker and now Zhang.
I think it's summit subconscious from him. He definitely doesn't know that he was one of the most overprotected heavyweights ever and just got so used to getting all the calls in his favour that when he does get clipped he's thinking "hey ref, thats not fair they're not supposed to hit me that hard"
Caught up on the Wilder v Zhang bout. Wilder is done, I heard he had another fight coming up and I really can't see it going well at all.
