Can't help feeling we are all being manipulated by Hearn for tonights fight night. I bet Chisora was 'encouraged' to work up a little interest in a last minute attempt to sell more pay per views.

I was always going to buy anyway - I love a Saturday fight night in front of the telly with a curry and a few beers.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Utterly fking pointless Benn bout, as predicted.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Sorry "hardcore's" but AJ would've done a better job of it, again.

[StuTheGrouch]

What the fk was that st?

Both looked st. A decent heavyweight would ruin the pair of those.

[hornetrider]

Tuned in for fight night. Callum Smith seems a bit low key so far.

[hornetrider]

st.

[andburg]

some chin on concepcion here

caught clean so many times by that short left and not fazed

[Fittster]

Parker vs Ruiz Jr.

Well a win for Parker but neither of them looked special.

On the back of that I'm not sure Parker beats Hughie Fury. That's how average he looked.

[SmoothCriminal]

Anyone watching on Kodi?

[Yiliterate]

What a genuinely superb performance from Yafai there. One of the most comprehensive displays I've seen in a long time. Not only did I think he won every round, but he won pretty much every minute of every round. Against an opponent of that quality and experience (and still in his prime too), to do that with basically no top level experience, is nothing short of phenomenal.

almost agree entirely, admittedly i was half watching but i gave 6 to conceptcion who really seemed to start roughing things up


no need for a 4th round here, Quigg outclassing. lets not send him out to take more.

He's certainly landing a lot.

Frank looks well eh.

[hornetrider]

Oooh good fight! Great 5th round.

It's slowly brewing away. Although I think the longer it goes, the more sluggish it will become. They both look very tired.

[hornetrider]

Yes I agree I think they're already half punched out.

Haye on commentary: Tony Bellend

[hornetrider]

Bombs going off! Massive shots!
