Pumped for this fight.

Although Porter is a worthy competitor against everyone, I think Spence will beat him and based on the styles might actually dominate him.

Great great fight.

Porter much better than I was expecting. Had it 6-6, with the knock down being the difference 114-113 to Spence.

Spence-Porter was fantastic, Porter made it into a proper scrap. That short left from Spence that put Porter down was such a sweet shot too, timed beautifully. Really enjoyable fight to watch.

That was pretty impressive from Canelo. I also don't agree that the scoring was biased; thought Canelo looked in control right from the first round.

Kovalev at this point was a poor man's Golovkin so not entirely surprising but still pretty impressive....one does wonder what drug testing was in place though...

I wonder if he'll fight Bivol and/or Beterbiev? Much more dangerous than Kovalev at this point.

He's probably more likely to drop back down to 168. He would absolutely murder Callum Smith. Billy Joe Saunders possibly a threat with his movement but I think he's regressed somewhat and is ripe for the picking. Could end in a brutal KO.

Good for Kovalev to get a nice payday at the end of his career. Should definitely retire now though.

Never thought I would say this but would GGG not be the safer fight compared to Bivol or Beterbiev?

Its also for Saul the biggest money fight as I doubt the other 2 lads are exactly superstars with the general public.

Looks as if Ruiz has been enjoying a few too many free lunches since he shocked Joshua. 20st 3lbs!! Over a stone over where he was last time.

Must be the heaviest a heavyweight champ has weighed? Oh, actually Valuev was about 7 feet tall, so he was likely heavier, but Ruiz looks a good foot shorter. Most massive BMI for a heavyweight world champ, anyway?

It's very disappointing isn't it?

He took a year off after the WBO title fight with Parker too, no doubt enjoying his newfound wealth.

He's a super talented boxer, and maybe he'll prove us wrong but it seems as though he doesn't truly want to win.

Povetkin and Hunter fight to a draw, although I thought Hunter did enough in the last couple of rounds to take it.

The main event's not far away.
