I thought the peds thing had been cleared up. Looks like Saunders will be remembered as the nearly man.

Seems like he has been stripped off his belt now too. 3 defences since he won it back in December 2015.

Or relinquished?

Frank Warrens statement is interesting reading

[tuscaneer]

looks like a 6 month ban is coming his way...

Crawford vs Benavidez weigh in

Could have been very nasty if he landed!

Super quick hands! also why are the police in attendance?

Not quick enough, obviously. I suspect armed police were there to stop it kicking off... Err...

Super quick avoidance was more impressive.

Ritson was a little bit schooled there. Patera looked real classy and I would like to see them fight again.

Bakole should never have been put out for those last 2 rounds, he clearly didn't fancy it after hurting his arm.

[Gameface]

That livened up the last round!

It looked like he had given up before that. He was sulking around.

Crawford looked devastating yet again.

Would love to see him matched up with Spence.

He was awful. Final two rounds aside, he was lazy and lethargic. As someone lauded to be on the ascent and someone in possession of a title, albeit a minor one, it was a terrible display.

They gave him some build up saying he was getting the better of Joshua in sparring sessions. A win last night would see either fighter into the top 15 in the world.

I didn't expect to see someone so slow and lacking any movement. His arms must have been sore from swinging fresh air shots before he gave up. He looked a poor boxer with an even worse attitude.

Anthony Joshua to face Deontay WIlder after his first round KO of a Tortilla?

How can a person actually be that thick to not realise that there a person inside the costume?!?

Says he knew there someone inside.

But he dug the head of him anyway, the . It would have been superb if the person inside had been wearing a helmet capable of breaking the A-hole's hand

[Gameface]

Why would a top boxer risk injuring themselves in such a stupid fashion? Could cost you a multi million dollar fight.

[tuscaneer]

Well....he's not the sharpest tool in the box is he??
But joking aside... pretty st for the guy in the suit...

I could never imagine Joe Louis carrying on like that...

Speaking of members of the public getting ttted by the heavyweight champ...some of the stories surrounding Jack Dempsey were great. Paul galico and Ernest Hemingway in particular used to love being round the fighters. Hemingway in particular..one of his proudest achievements was getting a bit lairy in a friendly spar with Dempsey and getting a black eye for his trouble

The guy should sue him for assault/damages if he had his jaw broken. Offering him a ticket for his next fight is pretty pathetic.

Nice to chat to Martin murray last Friday...

Should have been a world champ 3 times already this fella....I hope it's 4th time lucky in 2019!
