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.
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
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
Lewis Ritson is an absolute animal!!!
Lewis Ritson seems the real deal. He beats Crolla and Campbell IMO.
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.
Taylor win for me but no way there was that much difference in the scorecards.
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
Great publicity for the lad, can really see him clearing up here.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Not saying that doesn't suit Whyte either though, as I can see that's the kind of fight he also likes!Quote:

Will be a close one but I think Parker edges it for me. I see him as a better quality fighter.
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.
I’ll go against the grain and say I fancy White on points.

If it goes the distance I think Parker will win. I’ve been wrong before though :greengrinQuote:

That was a good moment. He’s such a likeable guy, I loved his interview after the fight. It would be great if he was to win a title.Quote:

Chisora up next, anything could happen here.
What a first round
And second. It’s never going to be one for the purists, but I don’t care, it’s good to watch.Quote:

Chisora is a nut case. To sit and take that punishment as a tactic is insane, but he did it.Quote:

Delighted for Chisora. He’s had to take some **** over the years, some of it deserved, but he’s taken the big fights when they have been offered and he’s won some and lost some.
Underneath the persona I always think he seems a decent guy and I hope he gets one more shot at the really big time.
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 levelQuote:

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.Quote:

Thank god he did. I had a bet on both fighters to go down and Whyte to win 20/1.Quote:

Long way back for Parker now.
Almost!Quote:

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.Quote:

williams has since retired, he is 45/46 now so think it was about time anywayQuote:

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.Quote:

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 v Wilder looking good for December.

It's all about rounds in the bank and if he can get back to 90% of where he was at the time of the Klitschko fight then he beats Wilder.
Far too unlikeable for me to be able to back him. And while I get that his style is effective, it’s not what gets me excited watching boxing.Quote:

I don't particularly like him and his style isn't easy on the eye. He's smart though and his ringcraft is excellent.Quote:

Can’t argue with that and if we get a Fury v AJ fight at Wembley with both as champions then it would be some event. Whether that will ever happen is another matter.Quote:

I know I’ve already said I’m not a fan but I think he’s taking the wilder fight a couple of fights too soon.Quote:

Khan looks so fragile.
His hand speed is still ridiculous thoughQuote:

Yip he quite clearly wants nothing to do with Brook. Shame really. Would love to see Brook give him a lesson.Quote:

Tickets for Josh Taylor purchased, looking forward to it.
Me too.Quote:

Still torn about what to do this weekend regarding GGG V Canelo. Talk is they’ll be at the ring for 4am. Bit early to set the alarm for but I’ll see.

Who’s going to stay up for the fight tomorrow? The first one was a good fight, but I see GGG winning this one inside the distance.
Ace, that's magic. He will love it.Quote:

I'm on nightshift tomorrow night, would usually get it on my phone on the BTSports App but with it being PPV I don't think its possible. Will hopefully find other means. Really hope GGG mops the ring with Canelo.
Who’s watching tonight’s fight? Hoping for some streams to appear on Twitter & FB and hoping GGG sparks the cheat.
Planning on heading to bed very shortly and setting the alarm for 4am [emoji108]Quote:

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