    No "let that fight marinate" no "he needs to fight that guy" just straight to the best guys in the division and pure aggression. He's the best pure offensive boxer since Pacquiao. He's going to get KOed sooner or later when he either jumps up too much weight or he gets caught, and I'm sure...

    I didn't watch the fight but I was bemused to see him talking about "if I had a full camp..." Errr, this fight was signed in january, this was not a late notice fight. He had plenty of time for a training camp. Why as a professional athlete paid now in the millions of dollars are you not in...

    There is an enormous pool of exceptional UK boxing talent right now, throughout every division. And even without the top guys, there are the somewhat likeable triers who have taken their careers seriously and done reasonably well e.g. the Smith Brothers, Joe Joyce etc etc. Why in this era of...

    I am really tired/bored of seeing fights decided on what weight limit and rehydration clause can be negotiated in the contract. I could not give the faintest crap about Connor Benn or Chris Eubank Jr. Just thought I'd pop in to say that. You're not watching fights. You're watching...

    I still think he's a horrible guy to fight for anyone without elite one punch power. Losing to Hrgovic isn't a shameful thing. The big difference between last night and e.g. when he fought Parker and Dubois is that the feet are gone. He was always pretty slow but his footwork used to be pretty...

    OK I had Hrgovic winning that easy, something like 8-2. Yes, he looked tired at times but he was still landing the more clean effective work through 80% of the rounds. As usual, UK commentators make an absolute meal of it.

    As washed as Joyce is, I think this is a horrible style match up for Hrgovic and a really odd fight to be taking on late notice given he'll get no credit if he wins. Also it's a very mentally challenging fight to take after the dubois loss. I see Joyce's superior stamina and jab dominating the...

    RIP big George. my favourite heavyweight of all time. Some highlights: - at the time he fought Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle, he was 40-0, with wins over Joe Frazier (who was also undefeated and undisputed champion at the time and had beaten Ali), Ken Norton (who had also beaten Ali). After...

    I'm not mad at that to be honest. In terms of a stay busy or voluntary fight he's a legite opponent, and it obviously comes with a nice paycheque. The only problem is Joshua doesn't really deserve the shot coming off a loss. But that's not really Parker's problem. I mean hell, if he's on a stay...

    Definitely would prefer that fight over Usyk Dubois 2.

    Tank just hasn't fought anyone. Why should I care about him? Nice looking fighter. Zero important wins on his resume. Might as well be Jake Paul for all I care.

    Fun seeing Gulbadin and Nabi still in the side and contributing

    I must say I think it would be kinda perverse if Dubois gets rewarded for pulling out of the fight with another shot at Usyk. Turki should make Dubois fight Parker or Kabayel and one of them gets a shot at Usyk.

    Yeah Ortiz was much better than I expected. Hamzah Sheeraz just doesn't appear to have a second gear. Like, it's all well and good sticking out a long jab and making guys walk onto your punches, but he appears to have no ability to actually put pressure on someone. The big shock for me was the...

    Objectively, you would think that Parker winning with a second round KO would be quite dramatic and fun but instead it was just a massive anti-climax. Both guys looked insanely vulnerable. If Parker had put a beating on and then got the KO it might have been respectable. Meh. Usyk is 8 years...
