The lunatic in me wants Shakur v Haney to see how dull it can be, absolute stinker from haney tonight.

Good solid if unmemorable win from Teo, but ****ing hell Garcia back on the drugs please, tks.

Nobody serious should be losing to Rolly ffs.

What a truly wretched fight that was.

Scull just ran and was content to get paid , although Canelo didn't look great either sadly.

Overall these 2 nights were very poor despite the names involved, both had little atmosphere and sfa drama.

Yeah the Rolly fight was an upset but it was a dull fight. I suppose the "highlight" was the Bakole fight and yeah he needs to get his act together, its all well and good having huge power but he's to damn fat.

Yeah, Bakole very lucky to sneak away with the draw. While I thought he clearly won 4 rounds, he also very clearly lost the other 6. Re his weight, I'm not surprised he came in at 299 after being 310 a couple of months ago. The big problem was ever letting himself blow up to that size in the first place.

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 shape year round?

 

[Bahnz]

He would've smashed him if it was a sparring session.

 

[Niall]

Thank God for Inoue, salvaged the boxing weekend.

 

[hendrix]

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 people will then say he was crap all along.

He's amazing.

Leigh Wood must be done now, always limited but had absurd toughness and could bang when needed.

Props to Cacece, especially coming out to Gomorrah theme tune into the Cranberries.
