Surely that's the end for Povetkin. He's looked like a man fighting on his last legs for a few years now. He's got out of jail a few times. It wouldn't be nice to see him back in the ring.
 
So the question is now whether Whyte will get a title shot at last.

Sadly, that's the last of Povetkin. Hopefully EH has paid him well.

Made that look easy. Happy for him... gets his career back on track.
 
Solid win. Just got unlucky in the first fight. Hopefully he’ll fight Wilder next fight, Ruiz would also be a decent fight for him
 
That was brilliant from Whyte and it was obvious he’d trained to mitigate Povetkin on the inside and even when blindsided, really smart training camp.

It was measured and controlled and his mentality was bang on.

I wasn’t so convinced before but he has to fight deontay now.

I do think Whyte and Joshua will win their respective bouts.

It would be better if fury and Joshua don’t have a rematch clause.

If it could pan out something like the above then we are in for a treat and what a story if the amateurs who fought and are practically neighbours, meet 20 years on for their 3rd fight to determine the best in the world.

Ruiz Jr is back in shape and in Reynoso's stable he is going to stay that way. He has a tune-up against Arreola scheduled for May 1st. Hearn said that Whyte will be getting out for a summer tune up, so why not arrange a showdown with Ruiz Jr for the end of the year?

I'd rather see Wilder vs Whyte but the problem is Wilder. Fury smashed his ego to pieces and it's another case of a boxer not being able to handle getting beat once. Same as when Kovalev lost to Ward.

Out of stock at the moment so congratulations. I will definitely buy a copy as appreciate your boxing postings and insight on here.
 
Nice one the Frampton v Herring fight is free to air on channel 5 Saturday, Frampton’s bid to become 3 weight world champion...

 
Dillian Whyte Vs Deontay Wilder would be such a fun scrap. Who you got?
Been saying it for like 3-4 years Wilder is crap and Dillian beats him all day long so ain’t changing my mind from that.

On this subject just seem a clip Dillian put up on his Instagram of Wilder talking about him. Wilder must seriously be delusional and have a bunch of yes men around him. Should hear some of the ridiculous things he is saying. Says Whyte ducks real fighters. Mate, who the feck have you fought bar Fury who you thought you would get a comfortable ride given he hadn’t fought in an age and was unfit. Whilst Whyte has fought Parker, Povotkin, AJ and the likes.

Wilder is an absolute joke.

I like and respect most fighters. Wilder I can’t stand though. He’s a scumbag and as you say, totally delusional. Whyte has fought a lot of the top guys. Wilder fought a 40+ Luis Ortiz, and tried to pick a fight with Fury because he figured he was washed up and couldn’t punch. Admitted to turning down a huge Joshua payday despite crying for years about being ducked, and he even turned down $7m for Whyte said “it’s not about the money” but asked for $13m so clearly he didn’t even want to risk it with Whyte.

It’s a 50/50. Whyte is wild and can be caught so Wilder could ice him but Wilder has no chin, no legs, and is a mental midget. If Whyte lands first that’s all she wrote. I’d pay to see the fight even though it wouldn’t go beyond three.

If Fury treats the fight with respect, then Joshua will be lucky to lay a glove on him.

Plus there was always gonna be a rematch as there's too much money in it, they'll probably try to make a trilogy out of it.

Don't think Whyte can beat either of them - Fury is just too tall and slippery, Joshua also has the height and reach, although obviously not as much, but enough power to stop him.

He is 9/1 on Paddy Power to win by KO or TKO - as unlkely as it might be I've put a fiver on it as I'll be watching anyway.

That’s a good price I’m only getting 5/1 with Coral, although I’ll not be betting on this one as I’ve lost too much money the last few weeks and laying off it for a while.

Just going to enjoy the fight both guys are even money so should be a good scrap..
 
Herring looks so much bigger than Frampton.
 
Second uppercut knockdown looked in slow-motion.

Good career for Frampton.
 
Gutted for Carl. Has been a legend for us and absolutely love the guy but that's him done now. One of the best days of my life was in New York when I saw him beat Santa Cruz for the title
 
They looked two weight classes apart. Frampton was never really in the fight. Picked apart on the outside and bullied by the bigger, stronger fighter when he got close.
 
Fabulous, heartfelt interview from Frampton. Top bloke.
 
Gentleman Carl Frampton wish him well for what he does in the future

Yeah it’s a tough fight if the bloke can beat you up from distance and on the inside
