I ain’t going to lie I thought that aA going to be harder for Aj

Well boxed

[Nesticles]

Carl Froch clearly only watches boxing when he is paid to

He is the Jamie Redknapp of boxing

[Rio]

Love that Parker walks out to Roy Jones Jr - Can't Be Touched :lol:

Why was David Sullivan one of his Maori flagbearers

[antony]

Haha! I thought the Samoan flag bearer looked like Sully too :lol:

Thank god Povetkin did what he did, my bet had 28 seconds left with £250 on it, close shave

Main event was pretty boring, ref was annoying, Joshua just too tall for him really, Parker hung in well but never any danger, pretty shocking card overall

[Jumby]

Froch was a decent enough boxer and a very good fighter but he blows his achievements up way too much, he got absolutely schooled by Ward, I just wish Calzaghe would have embarrassed him, that would have been beautiful.

[fmgod]

Froch had a very good chin, great power over a distance and good cardio

Joshua vs Miller, in the UK, next would be interesting, get that fried chicken eating tub of s**t out of the equation, and then I can imagine it will be Povetkin after, easy work. That said, Whyte could end up fighting Miller next if he doesn't fight Ortiz. Either way, Wilder is going to be keeping the WBC belt hostage for a bit longer, probably taking on Breazeale next or some other slightly above average Heavyweight.

If Fury gets back to anywhere near his best it could be an amazing time for British Heavyweight boxing if Whyte can find another level or two. It's nice to see the Americans so envious of what we have here.

Price wants to carry on...... :shock:

Kubrat Pulev ordered to fight Dillian Whyte in an eliminator by the IBF. Good step up for Whyte, will be an interesting watch.

[sendô]

That was one of the most boring fights I've seen in a while. Joshua jabbing and the ref breaking up any threat of a fight at every opportunity. The scorecards were generous too, Parker gave it a go but the ref didn't give him a chance.

[White Goodman]

Wilder-Joshua fight looking a little more likely.

Be interesting to watch Joshua avoid those ludicrous windmilling fists. He has shown that he is able to avoid a lightly thrown tennis ball on his Youtube training vids though, so should be alright.

I just can't get excited over Joshua, I think he is absolutely dog average and would be shown to be just that in almost any other era.

Price wants to carry on...... :shock:

hoping for 1 last big payday vs 1 of 3 uk fighters, just pleased i didnt pay £ 20 for that fight

[Nesticles]

Hearn and co trying to brainwash the British public about Wilder already

They should gather up all the comments from Sky Boxing for an episode of Mythbusters one day

[Nesticles]

Caneloroid and GGG is OFF

I hope nobody gives him one, it's time to retire, he looks like an idiot, arched over, arms shaking around with his chin stuck out. Probably a lovely bloke but five defeats, all by early KO, says it all.

[sendô]

By most accounts he's too nice a bloke and just isn't aggressive enough. He never looked like winning that fight and was dead on his feet.

[Mr_incredible]

was a horrible knockout too.... free shot and night night. he needs to call it a day

F**k knows who Golovkin will fight in four weeks time, I can't believe how little is being made of the super fight the following weekend though. Lomachenko vs Linares could be a fascinating spectacle, I'm a huge fan of both, even if the latter got lucky against Kev a few years ago. Two technically brilliant boxers, I think Lomachenko will edge it, he really is something else, mesmerising at times.

Lomachenko wins fairly easily I think.
