Fury vs Peter just now was awkward viewing. Referee was terrible and Peter was fouling almost every minute. The coverage from channel 5 aswell is poor.
Pretty funny actually.
Pretty funny actually.
I just watched , it was a joke of a fight , Fury was not that good , but Peter was dreadful, should have his purse withdrawn for that fight, the ref did not help.
Khan va Dibs was predictable. Dibs is awful. Khan is fast as usual. The most interesting thing was the fact that round 2 was ended 18 seconds quick. Did anyone else notice that?
Yeh, shows what a joke this event is.
Amir Khan is completely done at the top level as far as I'm concerned. Anyone half decent will put him down, he should retire.
And now khan wants to fight Pacquiao
So, Khan felt compelled to say he was badly injured entering the Crawford fight and had “major” surgery and then fights within a month? The man’s a total joker. He must be trolling, surely? I mean he has to know.
Head full of cartoons. He has some self confidence, feck knows why though.
Daniel Dubois has a nasty jab and serious power. No wonder the rumours he knocked out Joshua in sparring. Frank Warren has a great prospect.
Frank Warren is bringing back the glory days
Yeah, excited by Dubois' progress. I swear that Lonsdale belt is the best looking belt on the planet.
Is he not a great prospect?
No hes a prospect nothing more . When he shows he can beat a top fighter and that he can take a punch and come through he might be a great prospect . Right now he is far from that
So what you are saying is Amir Khan was never a great prospect cause he got shown to have no chin early on. Went on to be a work champ though.
Also beating a great fighter and he becomes a great prospect?
What are you on about, if he beats a top fighter he’ll be a top fighter. He’ll literally take the guys place in the rankings.
Weird logic init?
He just hates everything English, you’ll get used to him.

No I actually like the guy but hes not a great prospect after 12 fights against poor opponents . He has a lot more to do to be called a great prospect. He is on the path and I wish him well
You do know in boxing especially heavyweight anyone can beat anyone at any time with the right punch . It doesnt make them great .
Thd best heavyweight iv seen is Lennox Lewis and he is proof of that . Rahman and McCall beat him they weren't better than him nor would I describe them as great

I think 12 fights is fair time to call someone a great prospect, calling someone a great prospect is always going to be a projection into an unknown future. Dan Rafael’s prospect of the year 2018 had 10 fights, the idea is to make the early call.

Awful news about Pernell Whitaker. For my money the greatest fighter of the last 30 years.
RIP Sweet Pea
Going for Allen, Whyte and Pac win this weekend.
Thurman has obviously struggled with injury problems over the last 2 years and he didn't look good in his comeback fight. Big risk for him to take on Pac straight away, should have took 1 or 2 more fights before this but apparently he's not really motivated by boxing and is probably doing it for the money.
Allen has finally started taking boxing seriously. His win against Browne was impressive and I expect if he gets through the first few rounds, he will grind down Price and get the stoppage.
Rivas has been massively hyped for this fight, it started as a tough task for Whyte now it's a 50-50, which it's not. Rivas hasn't fought anyone of note apart from Jennings (who isn't the best). I'd expect Whyte to stop him.

I can't believe it's on PPV it's a shite card Full of average fighters Hearn has talked up cos they're English. Whyte isn't that good and he's the main attraction it's no wonder they're struggling to shift all the tickets. I expect it to do awful numbers on PPV can't imagine many people will pay for it...would of been a good sky sports card to
Whyte is actually pretty good though, and so is Rivas
Lean a tiny bit towards Thurman, but it’s a pick’em. Want Manny to win as I think it’s a bigger legacy fight for him than it is for Thurman.
Agree to disagree on Whyte, his record is decent but he's hardly beat great names...he should of lost the Parker fight really as well as Chisora first fight and obviously lost to Joshua. Other than that it's hardly a great resume. Either way I don't think he's a PPV fighter personally at this stage. Price vs. Allen (1 below average fighter vs 1 average fighter) being co-main says it all about the card really.
Can't really comment on Rivas as I've never seen him, always skeptical about any of these names a Matchroom fighter goes against though.
An interesting weekend with decent cards on both sides of the Atlantic.
Kicks off tonight with the potential superstar Teofimo Lopez facing off against an unbeaten Japanese fighter who has height and reach advantage over him for the right to face Richard Commey for a world title then maybe Loma early next year in a superfight.
Sadly not televised in the UK but on ESPN+ elsewhere.

The weekend got off to a disturbing start as in the co-headlining fight the previously unbeaten Russian Maxim Dadashev was badly beaten by Puerto Rican Subriel Matias but refused to let his corner pull him out and is now in an induced coma in a local hospital. Best wishes to him.
Teofimo Lopez was a bit flattered by his wide margin victory against Nakatani. Will be a good learning fight for him but he had to work hard to get the W.

Yeah and Tim Bradley had a passionate speech about it post fight. I felt every word of what he said and I have always fully agreed with his sentiments. As much as I love some of the great slugfests I do hate when fans complain that a fighter doesn't fight in a face first style, etc. These fans aren't the ones that are there looking after a guy like Gerald McClellan after he gets brain damaged. I feel as though sometimes a lot of fans forget just how dangerous the fight game is and how brave these warriors are to step in the ring each and every time. I seriously hope Dadashev pulls through and lives a good life after this.
Damn, Chisora with a savage knockout
Not many sights in the life do I enjoy more than seeing this stupid cnut Szpilka getting blown the feck out like that.
Is Price planning on fighting anytime soon ? Seems rather pointless.
What the feck.
Wow that guy was shit & he tells his people to throw in the towel... what a terrible fight.
Edit: oxygen mask on. Hope he’s ok.

That was so bad. Sounds like there’s about three people in the crowd.
Jesus
I'm enjoying this 'Face to face' Pacquiao vs. Thruman.
Rivas with an aggressive start
