Just when you think thing we're going to start going his way as well, can't be good for an athlete's body to keep trying to peak at certain times only for it to have restart all over again

Training camps don’t come cheap either.

Anyone else watch the Panorama tonight focusing on MTK?

Don't think it was telling anyone who follows boxing anything we didn't already know but quite interesting nonetheless.

Interesting to know Frampton doesn’t pay MTK anything for their services

Didn't know it was on, take it that is about Kinahan and what a stand up guy he is?

Will give it a watch

Pretty much.

It was clearly aimed at casual viewers/non boxing fans and only really scratched the surface. The biggest issue was the only person who would go on record was McGuigan. Worth a watch though.

The MTK stable have come out in force on Twitter tonight.

Cheers, wouldn't have expected anything else, as you say everyone within boxing knows the score

they do actually seem to do a good job of looking after their fighters, but i was always of the impression that MTK was being used to launder money, there was also the rumour that Matt Macklin was basically told to sell or else suffer the consequences

Yep. It certainly comes across that the fighters they have are well looked after. How they recruit them and where the money comes from has always been the murky part.

[Frazerbob]

That Sandra Vaughan character seems a right charmer.

I didn't actually watch it , but I was quite surprised at some of the comments that came over my timeline on twitter about people being shocked/ surprised about " the mob " being involved in boxing. Having recently watched the documentary on Sky about Sonny Liston where one of the contributors said that boxing has always been crooked nothing about Boxing surprises me

Agree, Barrett may well of won that fight but the scoring was atrocious.

Unreal. Anything a couple of points either side regarding a draw is fair. Eddie Hearn just said 118-111 is absolutely disgusting and will put off fighters coming over here.

Edit - said it doesn’t do him any favours and he could’ve just sat and fought off the back foot.

Absolutely scandalous. 117-111 is a joke. Foreign fighters will just stop coming to In fight in U.K. seems to constantly be the same judges.

[lord bunberry]

We used to despair at the scoring from judges in other countries, but Britain is up there with the worst in the world these days. I think Barret probably edged it, but the scorecards were ridiculous.

[lord bunberry]

Come on Josh.

In a spot of bother.

Ref did Warrington a favour there as he was out on his feet big time

He is, could easily have been stopped there. Josh still boxing well though.

[Lancs Harp]

Took a beating.

However judges have Josh up on all score cards.

[Mon Dieu4]

Demolished, shame I like Warrington he's a nice bloke

[Pretty Boy]

Not sure what Warrington expected there. Walking in with no head movement, Lara couldn't miss.

I like JW but that was a beating.

[lord bunberry]

****in hell . 18 months out of the ring is never a good thing.

Absolutely, his corner let him down badly. The signs were there early on and they sent him out with the same game plan. Devastating loss for Josh.

[RyeSloan]

Josh was 1/18 to win.

Never looked on it from the start.

Really strange performance so who knows what went wrong but clearly Lara can land a shot or two!

[Lancs Harp]

He was lucky (or unlucky depending on how you are looking at it) he should have been stopped in the fourth. He was all over the place.
