Reported yesterday that Scottish boxer Willie Limond has died aged 45.

I remember him knocking Khan down while he was being built as a mega star. Also shared the ring with Erik Morales.

Seems he suffered a seizure 10 days ago and couldn't recover.

Shows once again you don't play boxing RIP

Bivol was being interviewed about Canelos power...

Interviewer: How do you think powerful Canelo's punches are?
Bivol: His punches are powerful because he wants it to be powerful, he pushes all his body into while making the power punches.
But we know there are some people whose punches are powerful because it goes just like that, even if they are not pushing the full force but still powerful. And I think Gennadiy Golovkin punches are of this caliber, his power punches are natural, nevertheless if he is sometimes sloppy or slow, his punches are powerful from nature. Even though he is not trying to make it powerful , it happens just like that.

At some point he will get caught flush by Beterbiev and I think it'll wreck him, just like it does with all Beterbiev's opponents. The way it affected Yarde is typical. Slight delayed reaction and then everything falls apart.

I am annoyed that I going to miss this as I am in Spain on holiday. In a rural bit so unlikely to be able to find anywhere that will show it.

DAZN is geo locked - I assume TNT is the same frown

Doesn't help. They are geo-locked on phone via GPS.

Saying that I haven't tried it via laptop maybe I should give that a go. I don't like taking that on holiday but I would make an exception on this occasion.

DAZN doesn't work with a VPN. They have a good database of VPN IP addresses, and they just block access. Might work if you setup a private VPN but they are relatively expensive.

I can feel an accumulator coming on for that card. Will post mine up in advance. At least three need a bit of thought for me.

I'm thinking,,,

Zhang beats Wilder
Hrgovic beats Dubois
Sheeraz beats Williams
Ball beats Ford
Richards (probably) beats Hutchinson

And then for the main event... Bivol beats Beterbiev
