[lord bunberry]

Good fight that, Dodd has done well for himself for someone with limited ability bit Coyle was just too good
It was and the respect shown in the post fight interviews was outstanding.

[Benny Brazil]

Enjoyed the fights so far tonight - am intrigued to see how Khan gets on now

[3pm]

Wow!

[Mon Dieu4]

Really is a shame that Khan has a glass chin as he's the fastest hands I've seen

[Benny Brazil]

Ok not too bad ☺ Hand speed is still there - needs a step up in class of opponent now

[lord bunberry]

I went for a piss and missed the whole fight :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Good win from Khan but he wasn't up against much. Be interesting to see what he comes up with against a more live opponent.

[lord bunberry]

Well done Amir, always exciting to watch and not afraid to take on anyone.

[Mon Dieu4]

Khan Brook would be good, id edge towards Brook as he is the more solid fighter but that speed is unreal from Khan

[Benny Brazil]

A fight v Kell Brook should be the aim for Khan in 12 months or so

[lord bunberry]

Carl Frampton up next on BT sports.

[Mon Dieu4]

Good fight so far this, Frampton was definitely rocked in that last round

[Benny Brazil]

Frampton looked pretty good he was up against a tough durable opponent - wasn't a classic though

[Haymaker]

Brutal liver punch from Lomachenko.

[Mon Dieu4]

Imagine being a 3 weight world champion after 12 fights, Lomachenko is possibly the best boxer I've ever seen

Warrington V Selby this weekend. Think Selby will be too good for him.

Him and Mikey Garcia is the biggest fight in boxing now

Certainly is, although I love all Loma I think he needs to stop at 135, as well as he performed against Linares who I also really rate, the size different was starting to show, 140 might be a step too far even for him, I think he might go Beltran next then Garcia

It’s not looking likely to happen this year from what they were saying after the fight.

[trev the hat]

Cracking fight that, thought Selby was beatable after watching his last few. Warrington deserves all the credit even taking away the two accidental cuts he was superb. His jab against the longer reach of Selby’s in particular. Great hand speed & a worthy champ.
Well done son 👏
Ps split decision judge must’ve been on the sauce.

[Benny Brazil]

Split decision is a bit of a joke.

How anyone could give that fight for Selby last night defies logic- Warrington comfortably won that fight.

[David_D]

Did anybody catch the Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack fight. What a cracker . Looked like both were in big trouble during the fight but found a way to keep going. Given the Majority draw decision I hope there will be a rematch later in the year.

[nellio]

Selby clearly struggling at that weight but did well to make 4 defences of that title. He's going to move up now so let see how he gets on.

Cannot believe that was a split decision!!!

Taking of splits anyone see that lads lip on the undercard!!

[Hibee87]

Looks like wilder has agreed to come to UK to fight joshua later in the year.

Whyte v Parker announced for 28 July. I really feel Parker has to win this or it’s a long way back for him.

Scripted to four rounds.

[Pretty Boy]

Pretty low key stuff but I didn't expect much else. It was a fight to get back in the ring and get the initial hype out the way.

Fury has never really been about 'looking good'. He's all about tidy footwork, ringcraft and a boxing brain rather than the big flashy shots that earn headlines. It's hard to really take anything from last night but in my mind the Fury that totally baffled Kiltschko is a dangerous fight for Joshua and Wilder; whether he is still that fighter is the real question.

If anyone bought a ticket expecting anything else, more fool them.

As for the scrap in the crowd, you saw that coming as soon as the first bell sounded. Why were folk in the front row of ringside standing? Sit down ya clowns. Folk pay big money for floor seats and if everyone stand, most can’t see.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

The promoter was talking up the rest of the card and although there is nothing wrong with that, the main event was the least credible.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Didn’t go out of my way to watch the Fury debacle but stayed up to catch the Crawford v Horn fight on Saturday night.

A masterclass from Crawford who has a legitimate claim for p4p #1

[Mon Dieu4]

Michael Page just did his circus routine again, guys great in MMA bit in boxing he will get found out when he steps up, Sure Joyce is about to steamroller someone next too

[Mon Dieu4]

Lewis Ritson is an absolute animal!!!

[Since90+2]

Lewis Ritson seems the real deal. He beats Crolla and Campbell IMO.

[hibs#1]

I echo the previous 2 posters that Ritson looks very good if his power keeps up as he moves up the levels he can go on to have great career. Been a bit of a whirlwind for him this time last year most wouldn't have heard of him(I hadn't).

Pretty Boy Josh Kelly also looks a real prospect little bit cocky but I don't mind that in a fighter.

[Future17]

Taylor win for me but no way there was that much difference in the scorecards.

[Mon Dieu4]

Josh Taylor has entered the super series, chance for him to make some serious cash and pick up a few titles if he does well, just need to see of the other champions enter now

How are we seeing the Whyte v Parker fight on Saturday? Whyte wins for me, but hopefully it’s a good fight.
On the undercard I’m really surprised to see Benn taking on the rematch with Peynaud. What has got to gain by fighting him again. These intercontinental belts or whatever it is they’re fighting for are meaningless really.

Parker being talked up over here (not surprising) as having found a 'mean streak' and best training camp ever etc. The usual stuff I suppose, but he'll have learned a lot from the Joshua fight and I think we'll see a slightly different approach here.

The guy has basically never even been in trouble in the ring, so he'll be no easy beat. I think Parker wins.

From watching the build up I really think that Whyte has got under his skin and he might fight a fight that he doesn’t really want to fight. Whyte has been really disrespectful to Parker, calling him a coward for the way he fought AJ. It’s a tough one to call as Parker is clearly a durable fighter and Whyte is more of a slug fest type of fighter. I suspect Parker is going to try and go toe to toe with Whyte which is why I fancy Whyte to win it.

I think you might be surprised at Parker's ability to go toe-to-toe. We haven't seen much of it over the last 2 years or so as the quality of his opponents has increased, so he's had less chances to really get into a brawl, but if Whyte wants to do that, I see it suiting Parker. Not saying that doesn't suit Whyte either though, as I can see that's the kind of fight he also likes!

Despite Parker's tactics against Joshua, that's not really what he's been all about in the earlier days of his career when he was knocking out everyone he faced.

[nellio]

Will be a close one but I think Parker edges it for me. I see him as a better quality fighter.

[Bangkok Hibby]

Parker for me. Better boxer, but in a slugfest either could catch a beauty on the chin and spark out. Parker in rounds 11-12

Fair play to Connor Benn for taking that rematch. Decent performance from him.

He said he’d like a shot at the winner of the main event. He’s dreaming but if he can get another win then he’ll be in about it. His problem is he never puts a few wins together at a good level

I think most of the **** has been deserved and at times he’s been totally out of control. As you say though underneath I think he’s a decent family man. Thankfully for him he seems to have finally got his **** together. I just wonder if it might be too late for him though.

I have met Derek several times as he frequents a local gastro-pub in Totteridge where we both live. He's a man-mountain of a man, yet he's as soft as nails.

I could have went tonight - I could also have watched it in the presence of Finchley Boxing Club who have taken over my local boozer for the evening. I planned to watch it in my local, but there were a number of meat-heads in their party and I left after the opening fight on the undercard.

Chisora has looked after his £££ well and lives in a wonderful abode that is worth upwards of £5M - fair play to whatever he does next.

He is without a doubt a bit of an enigma. In his interviews he comes across as an intelligent man, but his actions suggest otherwise. Maybe it’s all an act, the pantomime villain sometimes earns the most money.

I said to my mates around 7 or 8 that the knockdown/head clash could be the decider but Whyte May have known he had that cushion. As nice a guy as Parker is, he isn’t ruthless enough for me to be a top champion.

Easy to say it was worth it after the event though, I looked at it and decided not to pay as I thought it was a rip off for the bill. Sure plenty of other folk did too. The PFV events are becoming ridiculously too common, especially considering the amounts we already pay for SKY etc which was one of the reasons boxing fans subscribed to SKY before the rip off started.

some numpties don't know when there being burnt .

It was $50 in New Zealand, which is about 26 quid at current rates - what was it in the UK? That said, NZ Sky Sport costs $30 a month (15-16 quid) which I think is cheaper than UK? We also get most boxing matches that don't involve Parker for 'free' on Sky Sport - i.e. Bellew v Haye was free here earlier this year.

I do agree that $50 is steep and I'm not sure I'd say it was 'worth it', even though both of the last two fights (which is all I cared about) were good. I just can't be bothered with unreliable streams so tend to shell out if I really want to see something now. And I split the cost with a mate too so wasn't so bad in that sense.

Only good thing about Parker's defeat is that his next fight will surely be cheaper! :greengrin

fury has never been the most athletic looking of boxers but he looked massively out of shape at the weekend, if he is to beat wilder/joshua he needs to get the finger out and get fit, its ok if you have a big punch which he doesnt and against the top end fighters he will need more than that display at the weekend

Read your post and going to do the same. Might even get the bacon rolls on.

Mayweather must have blown his $$ as he's on a comeback.

Regardless of how the fight players out the only way GGG is winning is if he stops Alvarez.

Who’s up then? Lucozade is out, and they’re on their way to the ring 🥊

[JohnM1875]

Can't see how GGG lost that. Gutted for him. Just think the fight came a few years too late otherwise he'd have floored Canelo.

[CallumLaidlaw]

While I had it by 2 to GGG, it’s interesting that a lot of boxing pros had Canelo by 1 or a draw. Caleb Truax had Canelo 8-4 [emoji50]

Thought it was close but didn't have Canelo winning 7 of the rounds, as prettyboy says in Vegas on a Golden boy show then GGG would have had to have got a knock out to win

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Gutted for GGG.

[Pretty Boy]

Well well well that was a shock.

Don't get me wrong it was tight but Alvarez could have argued for another draw at best.

Can't believe that result, absolute shocker

What are folks' thoughts on Joshua v Potevkin?

I expected Joshua to be favourite but was surprised Potevkin is available at 15/2.

Povetkin is a tough man. But think AJ will be too tough for him. Think it’ll go to around 6-8 rounds. Should be a decent battle


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Pretty Boy]

Much like with the big fight last weekend I'd say Povetkin needs a KO to win. Can anyone really see Joshua losing a decision in London when a fight with Wilder or Fury is inevitable.?

FWIW I think AJ will win quite comfortably if he's disciplined again. Povetkin is no mug but I think it's fair to say his record is a bit padded over the last 3 years or so, his last 6 opponents had 17 losses between them before fighting him. I'm not sure I see a stoppage but Joshua by 4 or 5 rounds is my guess.

[lord bunberry]

It’s a dangerous fight for Joshua if he tries to make a statement and knock Povetkin out early doors. If he gets his jab going and uses his skills he’ll win comfortably on points. After this he needs to fight the winner of Fury and Wilder or Dillian Whyte. Right now I’d rate Whyte as the toughest fight, he’s matured a lot as a boxer in the last couple of years.

[silverhibee]

Time is due to start at.

[Benny Brazil]

AJ to win comfortably might go the distance though

I never realised Fury and Wilder had agreed a date, venue to be confirmed though.

[Godsahibby]

How raging was Dylan Whyte there with Sky that was quality tv.

[Since90+2]

If Wilder beats Fury (which is likely) him and Joshua will happen in April. The amount of money in that fight is astronomical. There's abit of political posturing going on at the moment but it's all about the money and that fight will probably do 2 million PPV buys in the UK alone plus a gate of 90,000, chuck in American and international the rights , hospitality and sponsorship and it makes more money in the sport bar any fight involving Mayweather.

i doubt the wilder/fury fight will happen, they dont even have a venue sorted yet, which is supposed to happen before a contract is even signed so wouldnt hold my breath on this fight

I thought that initially but both sides would look pretty daft if It didn't happen now, especially considering the grieve they've gave Joshua for not taking the fights. I think it will happen , Fury will get knocked out and retire afterwards and Wilder will fight Joshua.

drugs cheat.
failed a test weeks before the andrade scrap for oxilofrine.hilarious since he's been slating alvarez and wanting all drugs cheats binned sine die.
but never mentioned his mukkers , tyson and hughie fury who both failed previous drugs tests plus it leaves a bad taste how he pulled out on short notice TWICE before his fights with martin murray.

I've always thought Smith was massive talent so wasn't any shame in Rocky getting beat by him.

Obviously Canelo is light years ahead of Rocky but there is a huge size advantage, Canelo is 5'8 and probably a natural welterweight,Rocky is 6'1 and a natural super middleweight that at least makes it interesting. Canelo obviously thinks Rocky will be an easy win for him.

Like I said it was probably the last fight I'd expect to be made right now.
