Seriously though, Ortiz has looked terrible in both fights, even with the stoppage. He's so much better than this.

I've not seen loads of him before his Sky debut (seen a couple highlights at most I reckon) but who has he actually fought? Loking at his record there's no great fighters on there. I know it's not an excuse cos someone like Joshua hasn't fought any great fighters and heavyweight isn't a stacked division but maybe there's ben a slight step up in opposition and obviously he is getting older?

Also isn't he meant to be older than he is listed is? They were strongly hinting at it in the Malik Scott fight. Or at least Paul Smith was.

He destroyed Bryant Jennings who had a really good showing against Wlad. Other than that, no other huge win on his record. But it's the eye test as well; he looked like the best HW in the world (along with Fury) when he was fighting in the US.
 
Great finish to that fight. Full credit to Frank Buglioni. Wonderful counter shot in the 12th.

Eddie Hearn's boy getting taken out.

Sky Bet has it as follows and is usually closest out of all of them:

Marcus Morrison 5pm
Conor Benn 5:30pm
Ortiz vs Allan 6pm
Burton vs. Buglioni 6:45pm
Callum Smith vs. Luke Blackledge 7:45
Yafai vs. Concepion 8:30
Quigg vs. Cayetano 9
Tayloe vs. Obenauf 9:30
Chisora vs. Whyte 9:45
Joshua vs. Molina 11pm

Obviously some will go back cos of fights going longer etc.

Telegraph is saying Quigg is coming up soon. Guess we're running about an hour behind schedule. How many rounds is the Katie Taylor fight? Am guessing only a few.

Taylor on now, I'd imagine Chisora v Whyte won't happen til 11pm, so could be a late one for Joshua.

Yep, sounds about right. Need to see if the amazing HD stream I found for the Golovkin-Brook fight can deliver again.
 
Seems like every bellend in boxing is ringside with Fury, Bellew and Briggs all there.
 
Why do women only do 2 minute rounds? :lol:

Because they're just as good as the men. Women and men are equal. Don't question the contradiction because these words and reality. Got it!?
 
Probably asked and answered 100 times already but I just logged on and skipped to the most recent page;

When should Joshua be fighting?
 
Bit of a slugfest so far. Neither in amazing shape.

It depends on how quick the Chisora fight is, but I don't think it's likely to be before midnight.
 
That round was straight out of Rocky.
 
Yeah this fight has been better than I was expecting already!
