It may well be, I had listened to Frank Warren get interviewed when the fight was announced and thought he said it wasn't going on his record but I may have picked it up wrong, either way I can't see it being much of a contest, will really depend on how fury treats it I thinkQuote:

Lee Mcgregor fighting at Meadowbank tonight. Channel 5 from 10pm
What a shocking commentary and pundit input that was, McGregor was badly beaten in that fight. It wasn’t even close.Quote:

A frightening talent. Not a single better boxer in the world p4p.
I remember doing a piece on him before the first Nonito fight and getting slated for saying he's going to be one of the greats, he's getting better evert week.
My favourite boxer by a mile and its easy to see why.
Absolute beast.
Got a link?Quote:

Was at that night also. He was already p4p top 10 by that time, but it was wild to see the precision up close. Absolutely surgical punching.
Wouldn’t put it past him coming up the divisions further and coming back to the UK. Leigh Wood he would surely fancy his chances against at Feather, they’ve sparred before
I was there that night too. Inoue was tremendous.
Spence Jr vs Crawford scheduled for 5am. Should be a cracker. Crawford edging it with the bookies
I'll catch the highlights over my morning coffee, gone are the days I'll stay up till that time waiting for the main event

Boxing materclass, supposed to be a 50/50 megafight and Crawford makes it a walk in the park, bud is p4p king for me
Crawford is a machine, not much more I can say about him really
I read a fair few 'experts' questioning Crawford's record before the fight, saying he had avoided being tested and would be found out last night.
I think he shut them up in style, he fought the best he could fight at the weight and it was a total mismatch in reality if not on paper.
Wow, annihilation
Not a mark left on him. Legendary performance
Spence has never been the same since that mental car crash
Joshua v whyte now off, drugs test found something!
That's the 3rd time Whyte has been popped for PEDs now, no doubt another year long denial period to get away with it on a technicality like Benn
Whyte is a cheat pure and simple.
Boxing has gone from my absolute favourtie sport to a complete joke where I don't even know or care who is fighting who these days. It's probably mainly the heavyweight division at the moment rather than anything else, it's just a complete ****show. I watched the Terrance Crawford fight and felt that was probably a good fight to bow out with. Hopefully once Fury, Joshua etc all clear off we can get back to some proper competition where the best fight the best again (Although having said that, that's not really happened too much over the past 25 years regardless of weight division).
What technicality did Benn get off on?Quote:

He just has to win. He will get his shot for “credibility” v Wilder in the new year.
I ****in love Chisora. What a boxer he’s been. Fight anyone.
Come on Del Boy.
Feels like AJ is one loss away from being retired
Would like to see him put in a performance tonight so there's a bit of enthusiasm for the Wilder fight. Just feels a bit "meh" with how his last few fights have gone
The guy he’s fighting had a ko last Saturday night so he’s fit and ready. I agree though, AJ needs to turn it on tonight.Quote:

I thought Chisora lost that narrowly. He was the aggressor all fight but Washington landed the better shots. We used to laugh at decisions in other countries but we’re now the worst.
Ah get these YouTube clowns off the telly man! Absolute nonsense
2 rounds in. Bit dull tbh
A lot of boos and groans coming from the crowd. Long gone are the days AJ just steamrolled through everyone
AJ just stepped it up as I type this
I'm nae expert but, this is grim viewing.
Some hit from Joshua. Fight over in the 7th
About time, hopefully that gives him more confidence back to not be so shot shy, he's about to go into a shoot out so can't hold back
i'd pass on Tyson Fury Mr Joshua
no chance
I think he's more chance in that fight than against WilderQuote:

He'd probably lose to both, but style wise I just think Wilder would put him to sleep inside 3/4 rounds based on his last half dozen fights whereas he's more likely to go in to later rounds/points with Fury and the longer it goes the more chance he's gotQuote:

What was that all about? It wasn’t a low blow imo.
he's going for the same area, he needs to watch he doesn't go too low
Good open fight Usyk is so fast for his size
saved by the bell
Uysk wins it
who will be his next opponent
p.s. i made 80p :greengrin
I’d say it was low to be fair. Certainly lower than where the ref indicates pre fight -marginally but low.Quote:

What a strange KO,Did the ref stop the fight or did Dubois fail to make the 10 count?
Saved him from damage. No complaints from the corner. He was about to take a dull one.Quote:

Good open fight though, hardly any hugging.
Hopefully Tyson gets a grip and agrees to the fight, its what everyone wants now and he's made enough cash surely
not a mark on Usyk's coupon
argh, DD saying he was cheated out of victory :rolleyes: warren saying DD won,
Warren wanting a rematch, money money money
All the screaming in the ring from DDD’s team, you can clearly see there is connection below the belt line. Just because it’s marginal doesn’t mean it’s not a foul.
Even clearer angle there, part of the glove connects below the belt line.
Doesn’t matter if you boil an egg for 7mins or 10
Mins, it’s still a boiled egg.
Doesn’t matter if a full glove or a portion of the glove connects below the belt line, it’s still a foul.
Evander Holyfield 6,2Quote:

Lots of champions of similar heights although small compared to some of the current giants wilder fury, although he handled Dubais and AJ twice. Fury will have height but still good movement, will be a cracker to watch
Usyk’s shorts are definitely high.Quote:

The ones who now work in analysis like Frampton and Bellew, both correctly say if any part of the hand is bellow the navel it's a foul and the referee called it right.Quote:

Ricky burns and Willie limond fight last night, both put on a good show. Burns was a cracking champion
Frazer Clarke was very underwhelming there. Allan is robust but resorting in continual low blows, was lucky not to be disqualified with another after being docked 2 points in the same round.
Terrible fight. Dave Allan is the Wimbledon of boxing, awful to watch. No idea why he gets on so many PPV bills.Quote:

easy money
disappointingly
Eubank wins! Was one way, I'm not sure smith wins that even without the injury, different coached Eubank tonight, thought Smiths team should have thrown the towel in long before the eventual stoppage
Two sprained ankles in the second round, was just target practice after that
What price?Quote:

Can’t see Bo Mac leaving the UK for a while now or being able to ever return to be in the corner of Eubank fighting here.
Hearing Lee McGregor is rematching the Mexican at Meadowbank in December…..
2 years ago today he won the European, what a horror show he's had since. Should have kicked on but 3 poor fights later and he's 6th in the uk with boxrec. Huge fight for him but he'll be favorite againQuote:

There’s a logjam right now that doesn’t look like being sorted out. The heavyweight division should be the gold standard and right now it’s a joke.Quote:
