    British scorecards in shocker part 2,163 tonight with Martinez V Barrett, absolute joke and something needs done about it
    Yep absolutely corrupt. Watched the last 5 rounds or so where the commentators were indicating Martinez well ahead and while Barrett may have won 3 of the 5 no way did the scores reflect any kind of reality.

    Good little scrap between Robbie Davies Jnr and Mexican Gabriel Valenzuela. Very tight but after the poor scoring of last week the tight decision went with the Mexican. Just about right for me, but it was tight.

    Good start so far after 3. Odd place for a cut for Kelly on the back of his head.

    Kelly has all the skill in the world and could make this easy for himself, with him I genuinely think he finds boxing easy and gets bored at times and switches off or decides to go to war when he doesn't need to

    Good fight though

    One round is all it takes! Shame for Kelly I thought he fought well.

    Anyone watching the boxing from New Zealand this morning?

    Current fight is so weird. Heavyweight fight. Julius long v Hemi Ahio. 7’ 1” vs 6’. And the big guy is 43 with 18 wins and 24 losses. He’s a big clubber and just knocked down the favourite (16 wins, no losses) . Looks such a mismatch.

    Canelo wins as expected in a keep busy fight. Awful opponent but always good to see him fight.

    BJS announced for 8th of May, will be a tough test but can’t really see anyone out there beating Alvarez at the moment. He seems untouchable.

    Not saying he will win but BJS has the skill and style that will cause problems, thing is though even if he put on a boxing masterclass he's never knocking Canelo out and he's not getting a decision in America either

    GGG was the only one round about those weight classes who stood a chance but he's getting on a bit now, I genuinely believe he won their first fight and Canelo won the second but unless Canelo goes back up to weights he has no right being at and fights Bivol or Beterbiev then there isn't much chance of him being beat just now

    Taylor v Ramirez signed. 22nd May. No venue announced but looks like BT Sports.

    I think a few years ago BJS style would give him problems. He’s such a slick defensive fighter and insane counter puncher now as well. Has always been able to go to head or body. There isn’t any real weakness in his game.

    I also had GGG winning first comfortably and Canelo winning the second narrowly.

    The weakness in BJS game is he balloons up between fights and doesn’t “live the life”. Night and day to a year round super athlete like Canelo

    Vegas is the front runner, One of my pals is best mates with JT and has scored 5 weeks off work so he can go and be a part of the camp

    If Josh wins I think he will become the first British boxer to hold all four belts in a division since the WBO was formed and first genuine undisputed champion (all major belts) from UK since Lloyd Honeyghan defeated Don Curry in 1986.

    Would be some accolade for Josh to have claim to. He has a superb chance as well.

    Only 66 - was he ill?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Tommy Hearns had posted it was Covid related. Think that's been denied on twitter though.

    Easily one of my top 5 favourite ever fighters. RIP The Marvelous One

    Shocked and saddened at this. An all time great for me, a fantastic fighter who fought some epic fights against other fantastic fighters around the time. Will there ever be a glut of world class talent around the same weight like that again?

    RIP Marvin

    Fury V AJ contracts signed. Now they go to tender on a site deal.

    My guess, Ethiad Arena, Abu Dhabi.

    Saying 8 or 9 options but Middle East seems the expected location.

    I wouldn’t believe Fury if he told me the grass is green.

    If it can't be made in the UK, which it won't be for a few reasons then I actually want it somewhere in the middle East, makes the times so much better than Vegas

    There’s something special about pulling an all nighter for the big Vegas fights tho. Goes back to Tyson v Bruno for me.
