Agree he could well clear up the division, although I'd like to see him fight Fury. But an all time great? Nah!

If he clears up the division he will be undisputed Heavyweight champion. That enough will see him go down as an all time great IMO.

The fights against Fury and Wilder are inevitable in my opinion. Over the next 2-3 years we will see them all square off against each other. Add in Usyk, the potential of Dubouis aswell, some great heavyweight scraps ahead.

Impressive performance from Prograis, will be a big test for Taylor if he gets through.

Some knockout for Donaire as well at 118lbs.

Prograis was superb, very impressive. Cocky wee ***** though lol. Taylor will be doing very well to beat him.

What is AJ thinking with this guy Ruiz?

What is AJ thinking with this guy Ruiz?

Ortiz turned the fight down. This Ruiz chump is an ex World Championship challenger who has a big profile with the Mexican fans.

The whole point of this fight is to build his profile in the States ahead of the inevitable Wilder clash.

Makes sense to me.

Not a massive AJ fan but he's faultless in this scenario.

As an aside, absolutely cannot wait for Canelo vs Jacobs this weekend. Should be a cracker but just think Canelo will have too much for him.

Jacobs needs a KO. There is no way Canelo is losing a decision on Cinco De Mayo weekend.

Looking forward to Canello vs. Jacobs fight.Early wake up on Sunday morning for me.
Miracle story behind Jacobs but I think Canello will win it by KO.

Depends on canelos steaks.

[hibeejoy]

Yeah.Read same story about Pacquiao.On steroids and been brutal knock down by Marquez.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Jacobs coming in very heavy (just off 174lbs at the 2nd weigh in this morning) - will be close to 180lbs on ring walk.

Nice to see a fighter stand up to Golden Boy / Canelo’s weight stipulations designed to give Saul an advantage.

Really hope Jacobs does it.

[hibeejoy]

Equal for me right now with small advantage for Canello.
Jacobs fighting back wich is difficult for Mexican.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Fair result in the end for me.

[Pretty Boy]

Thought Canelo won that comfortably.

Lomachenko to fight Luke Campbell for the WBC lightweight title.

Strong chance the fight could be in the UK. One I'd definitely consider heading to if it happens.

Former World Champion Paul Butler and undefeated IBF number one contender Apinun Khongsong have been confirmed as the reserve fighters for the World Boxing Super Series Semi-Finals at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland on May 18.

The ‘Baby Faced Assassin’, Butler, will be on standby for the hotly anticipated bantamweight brawl between the ‘Monster’ Naoya Inoue and Emmanuel Rodriguez, while Khongsong is ready to step in for the super-lightweight showdown between local hero Josh Taylor and the ‘Beast’ Ivan Baranchyk.

“I’m really excited to be reserve once again,” said Butler, who was previously on call for the quarter-final clash between Ryan Burnett and Nonito Donaire last November at the SSE Hydro. “I loved the whole show and set up last time in Glasgow so I’m looking forward to getting back there. It’s a great card that I can’t wait to sit back and watch myself as a fan.” If not called upon as a reserve, the 30-year-old from Cheshire will be set for his own eight-round contest on the card.

“I’m excited to attend the WBSS tournament in Glasgow,” said Thailand’s Apinun Khonsong. “Both Baranchyk and Taylor are both very good boxers but I am also one of the best at 140lbs so this is my golden opportunity if I may fight on May 18. Whether I fight or not, my power punch will one day make me a world champion.”

With four of the biggest names in world boxing in action, vying to book their place in the finals for the coveted Muhammad Ali Trophy, fans in Glasgow can look forward to a spectacular night of boxing at the SSE Hydro, which will also feature a stacked undercard showcasing the very best of British boxing.

Rising super middleweight star Zach Parker is back following his British title win over Darryll Williams at the SSE Hydro in November last year, and having been kept out of the ring by a shoulder injury sustained in this bout, can now renew his World title charge with a comeback fight against Steven Crambert.

Edinburgh’s ‘Lightning’ Lee McGregor, an IBF Youth and Commonwealth Bantamweight Champion, will look to continue his impressive five-fight KO streak against the Spain-based Nicaraguan-native Cristian Narvaez.

Fresh from a second-round stoppage win over Feriche Mashauri and awaiting a WBC World title eliminator against Anisha Basheel, Northampton’s Chantelle Cameron returns to the ring to face Hungary’s Bianka Majlath.

Having secured a first-round technical knockout win over Dominik Landgraf at the last World Boxing Super Series event in Glasgow, Scottish super middleweight Tommy Philbin is back against British rival Harry Matthews.

Super bantamweight southpaw Reece McFadden, from Motherwell, enters his third professional fight following a TKO win over Stefan Sashev, and will test his ‘Fast Hands’ against Bulgaria’s Georgi Georgie.

Tickets for the Monster WBSS Semi-Finals night, Ivan Baranchyk vs Josh Taylor and Naoya Inoue vs Emmanuel Rodriguez on 18 May at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland are on sale now from TheSSEHydro.com

All the action will be live on DAZN in the U.S. and Sky Sports in the U.K.

I think he needs to calm down a bit. He looked really wound up at the weigh in. He's the better boxer but if it descends into a scrap it changes things.

Looking forward to what should be a cracking night, heading to Glasgow in a couple of hours for a few beers then aiming to be at the Hydro for early on in the undercard.
