I know he’s an absolutely phenomenal fighter, one of the best of this generation, but what possible f**king justification is there for Terence Crawford v Israil Madrimov to be on box office in the UK?  They’ve barely even promoted it from what I’ve seen. How many sales are they expecting? I’d be astonished if it reached four figures for the entire island, ffs. 
 

Chelli Simpson on sky just now is a decent fight. Be interesting to see if Simpson can keep the pace as he’s won the first half of the fight.

Fale v Rodriguez on TNT is a wild fight. Put the card on halfway through the second and they’ve been swinging for the fences almost the entire time. 8-rounder, can’t see how it possibly goes past 5

28-0 for inoue. TKO win in round 7. I’d do the same if he was leathering my ribs and face.

Watched the replay on SSmix at 6. Thought Denehy was making a decent fist of it, until Inoue switched it up levels in round six.  Take it the December fight will be the Aussie lad, then Vegas, according to Arum. A move up in weight?

What's everyone's thoughts on this fight on Saturday? Joshua should win fairly comfortably for me but I just have a niggling doubt that he's too far past his prime and Dubois looked decent in his recent fights and against Usyk for the first half of the fight

Think it's a pretty evenly matched looking fight. AJs best is better than Dubois but there's enough of a question about career trajectories and also the mental side to make it a fight thats tough to pick and we'll worth a watch

Boxings bollox these days, doesn’t really matter what AJ does now he’s a fraud, dodged the best two in the world and got beat by a fat man who’s pretty useless.

Hutchison just won't go away but he's not quite winning rounds and he really doesn't like it to ribs. 

There’s a lot to like about his boxing, but he looks like a boxer that doesn’t have the luxury of being able to concentrate on it full time. Buatsi has a lot of money backing him. & is 5 years older.

Yer muscly top half/baby legs sorts always find their way onto someone's highlight reel. 

Aye, watching them bend like sloppy spaghetti is always fun.

I knew I'd mentioned this before, wonder if he's still skipping leg day.

Is it just me or does Dubois have really skinny legs ?
