Was very entertaining start, Anthony Crolla v Derry Matthews could be a good one.
Golovkin just snatched another soul. Knocked Ishida out cold and almost out of the ring.
Crolla trying to box too much on the back foot, better to see him have a go as the fight was slipping away

Crolla having a decent round
feck sake Crolla, knock the scouse out
feck knows how they have scored this
feck me that was a fight! Think Crolla has taken that, DESPITE LOOKING LIKE HE COULD HAVE GOT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE ROUNDS
Meh!
A draw? Bit of a cop out
Draw. Fair result really.Moyes in the crowd
I think Crolla won but it was a very close fight, been a good card so far.
Bellew has lost his grip on this
fecking hell, some insane scoring. Complete joke to have Chilemba by four.
Shocking, how did one judge give it to chilemba by 4 rounds when Bellew won the first 6 and there was no knock down. Bellew won by at least 5 rounds.
Think he won by two rounds, but to have him losing by four.. it makes no sense. Completely mental.
Crolla fight was terrific, thought he nicked it but you could argue the draw. Isaac was an awkward piece of work for Bellew but he had it won by a couple, shocking decision really.
I don't think chilemba done anything to claim one of the first 6 rounds and Bellew certainly took 9 and 10.
Any links going around for the Rios fight?
This Alvarado-Rios fight is insane. Complete war!
I can't believe this has gone eight rounds.
It's gone the distance. That's a must see fellas!
Not sure if that fight was even legal
Great fight but somehow underwhelmed, probably because I was expecting Rios to stage a rally that never quite materialised. I love brawlers in the mould of Rios, Gatti, Katsidis, but the downside is that they have such a short shelf life. I hope Rios hasn't already peaked as he's such an exciting fighter.
Got to say that as much as I love Rios as a fighter he's an incredible knob of a person. Some difference between this shite and the respect Gatti and Ward had for each other!
Yeah he didn't come across great. There was a point I think in the third or fourth round where he seemed to be hurt and he never really recovered. A third fight would be a must see.
Matthew Macklin got another world title shot against Golovkin. Good luck to him
He is going to need it!
Just seen that. WOW!!!! That was truly brilliant. Fight of the year, maybe?
I reckon the first fight was better!
Gotta love Rios, though, you're guaranteed an absolute tear up every time he steps into the ring.
Would love to see him in there with Maidana, Matthysse or Broner.

Can't wait for Donaire v Rigondeaux. Seriously, these next couple of months we're going to be spoilt for boxing.
Should be a great fight. Donaire is a strong favorite with the bookies.
Into round two now!
Rigo is looking for that counter, don't think he wants to brawl at all!
Yep, smart considering the size difference, proper chessmatch!
His movement is amazing too.
I've not got sound on mine, how are the commentators scoring it so far?
Every round Rigo, knockdown by Donaire, he's got to get the stoppage bud!
Cheers man! Final round, needs to come out swinging
fecking hell
Couple of writers ringside saying that the fight is much closer than the HBO commentary team are claiming, I think they have it pretty much spot on!
