Full Joshua Klitschko fight with English / SKY commentary if anyone fancies seeing it again. It'll be taken down soon I would imagine.

Should be a good 'un. It'll be on at silly o'clock like.

No but I read about it and have seen the stats. Think he outthrew and outlanded Chavez by about 5 to 1 or something. Also sounded like Canelo was taking the piss a bit, going to the ropes etc. Re: GGG, I think he's just came up against a half decent / durable opponent in the last fight. I'd question who he's fought up until then. Brook had some success against him too but, ultimately just wasn't big / strong enough.

What happened there with Brook? Did his left eye socket go? He was down on rounds but still had a chance of a knockout. Seems strange for him to pull himself out of the fight.

Nah, it was his right that was fucked before. I'd have had him 2 rounds up after six. The questions were all about whether Spence would last the fight but he answered those.

Tbf, loads of people want to watch it. That's why it's happening and why they're going to make a fortune out of it. As a contest though? Nah

Would rather see him fight GGG. And GGG probably has less of a physical advantage over Mayweather than Mayweather had over Pacquiao

I think Mayweather's been great and he was only really 'boring' in the latter stage of his career when he needed to adapt due to age catching up a little bit. Prior to that he had a pretty high k.o. percentage iirc. The point I was trying to make was that it seems a bit daft that such a huge fight just isn't going to be competitive. Mayweather v GGG would be. Not that it's ever going to happen and I'm not having a go at Mayweather for not making it happen. Also just wanted to point out something which is often forgotten, i.e. Mayweather being physically at a significantl advantage to Pacquiao.

Is McGregor worth a punt at 7/1? There's always the chance of Mayweather being ring rusty or McGregor getting in a lucky shot?

I think those are pretty shite odds tbh.

Just realised it's the Ward v Kovalev rematch this weekend. Two of the best fighters in the sport and it doesn't even get a mention on the BBC's boxing page. Think it's meant to be on at about 2am Saturday night / Sunday morning.
