Well, what metric are you using to rank fighters in the lb for lb stakes?

I'm using dominance in their division.

for me it's a 3 way fight between crawford,golovkin and lomachenko....im flip flopping between golovkin and crawford perhaps leaning towards crawford...but then you really have to consider the canelo draw as a win...and then I'm back to having golovkin on top....

if lomachenko beats rigondeaux in style then perhaps it's him??!!

If your using dominance in their division its Golovkin.
It is Golovkin anyway especially now Ward has retired after just examining his record.

Hopefully there will be alternative streams to watch tonight. At least one person will have to pay the £15 first. That might be the issue.

As I'm sat here doing some work, blasting music into my head to keep me going, it got me thinking "what would be my entrance theme if I was a boxer"?

So, what would yours be?

For Tuscaneer, as a scouser, I thought of this one- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHniL8MyMM

The undercard was supposed to be free. The stream on YouTube is just a looping advert and not any boxing on. It's only 720p.

I paid and am watching now!

Undercard is free - just pay for the main event smile

I'm sure HR will come up with a stream - he never lets us down wink

I'm into hard rock/metal music, so mine would be in that genre.

Could also go for the over-used 'welcome to the jungle' or 'thunderstruck'

The price galls for sure seeing as they are both B list fighters. What really annoys is the only on Youtube - 'future of PPV'

So lets get this straight. 15 pound for a non-event, no real undercard and having to sign up to Youtube and hand over your online identity to Google as well. Then you have to faff about with signing into your account with the usually goddamn awful smart TV UI and hope that the whole thing works.

Eddie is probably looking at all this mess and is starting to think that he needs to up his PPV prices as the shows he puts one are so much better than the competition.

Mine is (was!) Kasabian - Clubfoot smile

Good fight that - thought Broadhurst did well, finding 2nd wind after the 7th but Whale did well there to take him out.
