bit of an epic day for me 12 hours on the sofa starting with the footie at lunchtime ,the Vuelta, the Tour of Britain followed by the footie at 5.30pm and then the boxing and then possibly divorce.
Looking forward to the undercard usually get some cracking bouts on it.

Same for me. Except I'll be at work. And I'm already watching the MotoGP... biggrin

Can start watching early boxing here at work, then home at 1900 for the main card.

Then UFC203!

Is golovkins record that great. If you examine it on box rec there's a lot of tomatoe cans. He hasn't really fought a Hagler, Benn type of his era. The UD was against a guy with numerous losses.

He's definitely skilled but I wouldn't say there's been any huge tests on that record. Granted it won't make it any easier for brook. He probably should have had a warm up at this weight.

I think GGG will stop brook in 7 and Fury will stop Klitschko in 7 then wilder in 5 and Joshua in 3
In the last round of the first klitschko fury fight klitschko realises furys shots don't do much so starts walking through them. I think furys getting splattered this time round.

despite all the bks fighter spout some seem to just ouse confidence in themselves and just know what they have .
I hope Brook wins but this guy seems a bit of a star.

I felt Klitschko realised that also.
But i don't think Fury ever went looking for the KO. He definitely had a game plan of keeping moving and throwing the Jab.
Klitschko seems to have an inherent fear of being hit hard as well. I believe he knew Furys punches weren't that hard even at an earlier stage but simply until he knew time had run out he couldn't force himself past the mental block.

I feel a lot of his camp wll have been about trying to be more proactive. But once he's in the ring fury only needs to display some power and Klitsckos fear of a big hit will kick in. And he's likely to revert back to the same fighter from the first fight.

I respect Klitsckos achievements, but id prefer a Fury win.
And i can see Fury winning even if he gets dropped in the earlier part of the fight.

Looking forward to GGG v Brook
Both looked in great shape. For me Brook needs to win or do the damage in the early rounds. As looking at his physic hes going to do well to be as energetic in the later rounds.

When you did that, did they just say - ok then, and put you through to cancellations, or did they offer you some great deal at the 11th hour? (which you turned down, it looks like)

I'm going to the pub to watch it. I binned Sky entirely recently as it's just not worth it (plus I get the excuse of going to the pub).

Good 2nd round stoppage for Connor Benn.

He looks very strong for his weight.

Every punch he threw he tried to take edwards head off. No faints or range finders.

Looked very very powerful though.
