Interesting cards... I had it far wider for Warrington, let alone it being a split decision!

Wow, didn’t see that happening.

Warrington raised the bar with that performance. As for the split decision........

Looks like we’ll be seeing those two in the ring again for part 2

Split decision? what were they watching!

Warrington is a much better fighter than I thought he was. Him against Frampton would be mouth watering.

Badou Jack deserved to win that fight - I had him up by 2 rounds.

The best I have seen Jack look in the ring, he seems to have much more energy at this weight. Stevenson had all the tools to win that fight but he looked every day of his 40 years didn't he?

Wow....great fights on both sides of the pond there....i thought stevenson started stronger(as i expected)...looked like he was falling apart by the 9th...but what a comeback!...i reckon jack nicked that but a close fight with a canadian in canada with a partisan crowd...well,
REMATCH!!!!

Warringtons pressure wasnt just thoughtless come forward aggression...he showed boxing skills i have not seen before.his jab was superb. Got to take my hat off to him.no way did i see he could upset the rhythm of selby so early and maintain it throughout....hope they can sort out a fight with frampton!

GLOL

Every round I kept getting up to try and take a pic of the TV... However, being that was the limit of my technical skills and I was most of a bottle of Tesco's Finest Grain Vodka down - I never quite managed it!

I missed the Jack fight as I was sparko post-Selby (I bet he looks a mess this morning) but a good night of boxing none-the-less.

I'll be on a lads weekend in Mallorca for Tyson's comeback, so that will need to be on the agenda!

I know there’s an urban legend that the Victorians used to feed gin to the young kids they had working as chimney sweeps to stunt their growth, but I feel there may need to be a little ‘expectations management’ here...

I'm no boxing guru, but I've never heard of this guy, Sefer Seferi

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/44190446

I guess it's hard for Fury to get his comeback fight right as he's a very unknown quantity now.

Rightly or wrongly, a lot of fingers were being pointed at Spence off the back of it, 'the internet' claiming that his nipples don't look right, whatever that means.

Me neither, but from what I've found out he's an Albanian cruiserweight who's fought 5 times in the last 3 years against opponents who have amassed 61 defeats between them. My bar of expectation for that is set suitably low!!

Terry Flanagan's fighting for a title on the undercard though, so I'll more than likely tune in smile

It's a joint billing as opposed to being on the undercard, that fight was moved to make this night more attractive.

Warren was quite open on the opponent choice for Tyson in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys3YoJEztlY Needed someone with a winning record that Tyson would look good against. Money demanded/age of many heavyweights were a hinderence.

For those that suspect Boxing is corrupt, Albania where this bloke comes from, is known for high corruption levels so the bloke may be quite happy to pick up a cheque, or indeed he may come to fight. Who knows. Too much money riding on Tyson for him to lose at this stage though, you would expect an easy night.

Gyno, Common side effect from steroids caused by increased levels of estrogen, And his was/is quite bad. Can also come about naturally which im sure most suspected would claim, But very unusual to appear out of nowhere.

Food for thought, What about joshuas HGH gut which now seems to have dissapeared.


I remember AJ's dad was in the ring after a fight and shouted from behind something about being all natural etc and was quickly wisked away in the background by some men in suits. Was very strange.

How does everyone think Jamie McDonnell will get on against Inoue in Japan tomorrow? (On sky about lunch time)

McDonnell has a 5 inch height advantage and a few inches of reach but is fighting on away turf and is big for his weight so making the weight in Japan will be an extra struggle for him.

3rd world title in a 3rd weight class for Inoue and in his 15th fight so not that far behind Loma in the speed to get there if he wins. I’ve seen him described as a mini GGG so it’s going to take some very slick boxing at range from Jamie to take this and some extra commitment to defend against body shots.

He’s one of our underrated and under appreciated fighters somreally hope he can get a famous win in away soil it’s a tough ask though

Adrian Broner, never a dull moment. Has reacted to a good offer from Eddie by publishing it online and stating it is a 'slave deal'

He has already been blacklisted by Arum, turned down Rocnation and most recently slagged off Mayweather promotions CEO very publicly - one would think he was a p4p star on a long winning streak rather than having the record that he has rofl

I agree with you. Inoue is looking special at the moment and I'm just not sure how McDonnell deals with him.
