Scott Quigg misses weight for his title fight tonight no longer can win the title whole card might yet get called off.
I think that's the caveat for many.Quote:

I can’t make my mind up. I am a huge AJ fan and want him to unify the division. I hate fury and all the crap he’s spouted. I hate his style too, it’s not entertaining. But if he’s at his very best, would his speed and footwork frustrate AJ? Very possibly. I’d love AJ to put him on the canvas within a round or 2, but my worry is, fury would take it on points.Quote:

Fury made a jokey comments about Zionist Jews and some about women and is labelled a sexist and a racist because of it but AJ gets away with murder due to being the media darling and the main face of the Sky/matchroom cash machine. AJ has got away with comments he has made about the superior black race and other stuff brushed under the carpet by the hype machine. Give me Fury over that big stiff racist fake idiot AJ any day of the week. Fury's antics are comedy gold imo. Each to their own though, mate.Quote:

It's the double standards that I have issue with not so much the comments. If Fury had made comments about the superior white race the press would slaughter him. AJ recently got a bit of stick for a sexist comment he made about his niece. If it was Fury spewing out that stuff the press would have went in hard on him. Being a Muslim AJ has some ****ed up beliefs btw. As for Fury's comments being 100% not joking, well he's got interviews where he states it's all just a big joke to get the fans interested. I believe him but if you don't then that's up to you. To me Fury's comments are tongue in cheek while AJ's are definitely his beliefs.Quote:

Been following the Thai his last few fights, heard he is getting paid absolute peanuts for his last few fights bit of a joke tbhQuote:

I thought he converted. There's photo's of him praying in a mosque for all to see but it was probably just a publicity thing if he says he's not a Muslim. Not that I care what he is tbh. I'll watch that IFL video, cheers.Quote:

Just read that lomachenko V Linares has been made, really hope that's true
I dont think Loma v Linares will be all that competitive. Linares went life and death with Kevin Mitchell and Lomachenko is arguably number 1 pound for pound at the moment.
If Linares wins more than a couple of rounds i'd be surprised.
I feel sorry for anyone that has to fight lomachenko, he’s one of the greatest of all time.
One of the greatest amatuers boxer of all time no doubt but he's only had 11 fights in the pro game, mate. (10 wins 1 loss). The guy's so good they threw him in at world level from the start. He's potentially an ATG but no where near there yet.Quote:

Looking forward to tonight's boxing, the manin 3 fights couldn't be good, really looking forward to seeing Ritson again and seeing how he does against Cardle who is good but blows hot and cold, hope Whyte wins as I'd love to see him v Wilder for the build up alone
Ritson is up now. I hope Whyte gets knocked out, he’s a classless prick. I was watching the build up last night and he comes across as an absolute tit.Quote:

Ritson looks an animal and will never be in a boring fight
Boom what a minute of boxing that was, well done Johnson
It certainly was. I didn’t see that coming.Quote:

Yip. Far too heavy and slow.Quote:

It made for very uncomfortable viewing.
Yeah, I kind of went from “what a punch” to “oh crap is he ok” in about 2 seconds.Quote:

I might be wrong and perhaps someone with more boxing knowledge will put me right but I thought that fights should be stopped when a boxer is struggling to defend themselves and I thought that was quite clear last night from quite early on.
At the start of the fight the referee tells both fighters to defend themselves at all times. Browne was just walking onto punch after punch. I hate to see fights being stopped too quickly, but Browne was putting himself in real danger last night, by being so unfit and not trying to defend himself. I’ve seen really quick fighters adopt that style, and use speed to slip punches, but I’ve never seen someone as slow as Browne do it.Quote:

That guy was in no shape to fight at the level, but by going him up and letting Whyte do some serious damage to him, Hearne has hyped up his fighter and the circus goes on.
Believe it or not he is a former world champion.Quote:

To be to fair to Hearn when he signed the fight months ago he has no idea or control what shape Browne is going to turn up in come fight night.Quote:

Decent undercard for the Joshua Parker fight this weekend.

Alvarez GGG rematch looks snookered then!
It’s looking that way sadly. There’s no way they’d be offering refunds if it was going ahead.Quote:

I love watching Tommy Coyle. I’d love to see him win a title. He will probably come up just short tonight again though.
Good round from coyle
10-8 round for Coyle, he was losing that round before the knockdown.
Go on Tommy, finally he’s a champion. Great stuff, it shows how many good match ups there are in the domestic game.
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.Quote:

Really is a shame that Khan has a glass chin as he's the fastest hands I've seen
Ok not too bad ☺ Hand speed is still there - needs a step up in class of opponent now
I went for a piss and missed the whole fight :greengrin
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.
Well done Amir, always exciting to watch and not afraid to take on anyone.
Khan Brook would be good, id edge towards Brook as he is the more solid fighter but that speed is unreal from Khan
A fight v Kell Brook should be the aim for Khan in 12 months or so
Carl Frampton up next on BT sports.
Good fight so far this, Frampton was definitely rocked in that last round
Frampton looked pretty good he was up against a tough durable opponent - wasn't a classic though
I fell asleep watching the build up fight. That has to go down as one of the worst I’ve seen.Quote:

Warrington V Selby this weekend. Think Selby will be too good for him.
Him and Mikey Garcia is the biggest fight in boxing nowQuote:

Well done son 👏
Ps split decision judge must’ve been on the sauce.
How anyone could give that fight for Selby last night defies logic- Warrington comfortably won that fight.Quote:

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!!
Looks like wilder has agreed to come to UK to fight joshua later in the year.
Hope people are watching Belotti Doyle, what a tear up
Whyte v Parker announced for 28 July. I really feel Parker has to win this or it’s a long way back for him.
Fury and Seferi have spent 2 rounds dancing and joking with the crowd and then halfway through the 2nd round all hell breaks loose amongst the crowd with a paggering on going.
Fury stops to watch and Seferi doesn't know what to do, surreal .
The fight is a complete jokeQuote:

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.
Nah but he could’ve at least taken the fight seriously. The first 2 rounds were embarrassingQuote:
