He’s had the choice of going with Sky / Hearn twice. First when turning over, then after leaving Cyclone.
There’s an argument to be made he would be less known if he joined Sky when turning Pro, and wouldn’t be fighting for the four belts if he had joined them after the Prograis fight.
Jeez I didn’t realise what time it was to start at, Talksport saying 1:30 am start - is that the undercard or the rough time of the main event?
Main event closer to 4amQuote:

Should have been hyped as one of the most important British fights in years. Quite simply, it is. If not decades.Quote:

FITE TV app downloaded to my Firestick though. There are a few scenarios I’m conscious for it and it’s just a click away. Very much Hibs dependant though, lol.
Arum vs Hearn bitch fight I guess.Quote:

Aye I know, been scanning all the stations on my box. Se my alarm for 3.50 as well. Oh well, back to my cotQuote:

Fell asleep last night but watched this morning without knowing the result. What a fight. Thought JT was in trouble early doors as he struggled with the speed and movement of Ramirez but he came on strong and after the 2 knockdowns it was all about seeing it home.
An unbelievable achievement that is all the more remarkable considering how quickly it has come about. It might be a wee bit down the line but I'd love to see Taylor v Crawford at 147.
The two knockdowns came at a perfect time, and eventually won him the contest.Quote:

Well done Josh. Great fight and managed it well.
I dont think he was in any trouble at all during the fight.
Hope he gets a welcome befitting of the worlds best when he touches back down in Edinburgh.
King Ken never 😢
That's Hearn now announced the DAZN link up, matchroom leaving Sky and starts the 1st of July
Wonder how much DAZN will cost now. Can’t see them leaving it at £1.99
In the state's it's about $10 a month or $100 annuallyQuote:

Floyd Mayweather fighting on sunday against a youtuber whatever that is?
Just seen an interview with him, and he's taking this as a joke fight, saying his career was the mashed potatoes, and this is the grave.
He's already earned £30m for this fight, who the **** is buying this tripe?:confused:
I think Sky are ****ed now. They will lose the football to Amazon and then that’s them done. Nobody wants to watch content the way they deliver and charge for it anymore.Quote:

I won't be paying for it but if I'm awake, and at 4am I invariably am albeit for different reasons than those of 15 years ago, then I'll probably find a stream to watch it.
23 million people follow him on youtube.Quote:

One thing i did notice was I’d looked at the odds out of interest. William Hill only seemed to have a market for an outright winner, no option for a draw. Wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was fixed and heavily financed by bookies who knew they wouldn’t be paying out a penny.
Safe to say LP won’t be going anywhere in the sport though if he couldn’t land anything on a 44 year old who hadn’t fought a boxer in 6 years that he had 35lbs on. May weather tried to respectfully allude to as much afterwards.
Yep it was *****. Didn't pay for it also.Quote:

The whole thing was a pantomime scripted to set up a fight with the brother later in the year.
I loved Mayweather as a boxer and would argue for him as the best of his generation and an all time great until I was blue in the face but this stuff is farcical. I know it's all about making money and playing the villain and whatever else but someone at some point is going to get seriously hurt with this influencers fighting trend and it doesn't need real boxers helping to potentially legitimise it.
Wonder who Taylor will face next. Now he is unified champion, will be step up a division? I suppose the problem with achieving such an amazing feat in unifying the division is, where does he go next?
I suspect a homecoming (at the Castle) v Catterall to defend the titles.Quote:

Ritson was beat and he took a barrage of punches he didn't need to take.
Just finished watching showtimes 4 part documentary The Kings, absolutely brilliant watch, you should be able to find it online if anyone wants to watch it
DM me please! Been trying to watch for a while!Quote:

Tragic news. RIP.
I don’t know what to make of Joyce, he looks really cumbersome but he seems to get the job done. He reminds me of Lennox Lewis in the way he fights, but I’m not sure he’ll reach the heights Lewis did. One thing for sure is he’s got a great chin.
He's awkward and 19 stone, if he hits you then you will know about it, think JT was spot on is his assessment of the fight thoughQuote:
Originally Posted by lord bunberry

Joyce is a far superior boxer / fighter than Whyte was many, many years ago. That said, Whyte has come on so much.
Absolutely brilliant by Wood, so pleased for him
Taylor v Catterall signed fir the Hydro in December 18th. Josh in Belfast for the Lee McGregor fight working for Fite TV.
McKenna is never not in a war, it's always a decent watch
He looks like he should be in Biffy Clyro.Quote:

Buatsi as spiteful as ever but didn't have it all his own way, good test there for him
Thought Buatsi done well tonight. Referee could have stopped fight in 6th but doing the longer distance could be a good thing for him.
Good main event but that card was woeful. ‘First rule of fight camp - no easy fights’ was the motto, couldn’t have been more wrong, as one sided a card as you’ll ever see. This should have been week 1.
Many Pacquaio looked an old, old man last night. Time to call it a day. In the words of Rocky Balboa:
'Time takes everyone out. Time is undefeated'
Taylor V Catterall at the Hydro on the 18th of December as expected, also officially announced his fights will be on Sky from now on too
We have Aberdeen at Easter Road that day, might just miss it and make the right the boys Xmas night out and stay over
DAZN price up to 7.99 now after matchroom added.
Same fixture a couple of years ago when he fought at the Hydro. Game was switched to Sunday so may well happen again.Quote:

David Haye playing with a guy who has essentially bought the chance to get battered for 8 rounds.

All whilst Donald Trump spouts off about rigged elections in the commentary.
Surely no boxing fans actually enjoys these events. Grim spectacles and someone is going to get seriously hurt sometime soon. Holyfield came close tonight, he shouldn't be taking punches to the head anymore.
I watched the Haye "fight" as I was up and it was free, he used the right once in 8 two minute round and could have knocked him out any time he wanted, then to call out Fury afterwards while Trump commentated on it all, the last couple of years have just been mental, canny believe anyone actually pays for that *****Quote:

Boxing used to be my favourite sport bar none.

I actually can't believe they had the audacity to be that blatantly corrupt.
The UK is rapidly becoming the home of dodgy cards and results, we used to look down on other countries for it but we are now up there
Marcus MacDonald is crooked as they come. I knew before the announcement that he would give it to Hatton. Hatton is a Hearn boxer learning his trade so other than a ko he wasn’t going to lose.
As soon as he announced 58-57 you knew what was coming. Makes me question the point of watching.
Daylight robbery for Hatton there. I like him and he acknowledged he wa spoor in his interview but decisions like that are taking the piss even if you expect them and, to a limited extent, understand them.
Think they picked okolie's opponent off the door of the dog and duck last night!
Terrible decision unfortunately it was so bad it will put a lot of pressure on him, whilst a defeat he could grow from.
Must say what a difference with a packed stadium. Usyk the better boxer unbelievable speed and class, but you'd think the physical difference will show for aj. Joshua obviously a wonderful fighter too, looking forward to it
