Don't buy it then, or stream it, the PPV argument is so ridiculous...

Whyte Chisora was a cracker first time round, rarely does a rematch live up to the first though...

Cracking undercard as well tomorrow night, will be good.

Massive rumours about Donaire pulling out the last few weeks, but nothing came of that...

Burnett will get the job done, & always a pleasure to watch Josh Taylor, he’s the Super Lightweight winner for me.

Taylor is a class above Martin here.

Taylor wins by stoppage in the 7th.

Joy to watch, although the stoppage was abit premature...

Shame for Burnett, especially in that manner. Taylor is a class act, I see him beating Prograis in the final, although I do rate the New Orleans banger.

Freak fights always sell well. The rules won't be confirmed until close to the date. It'll be boxing, possibly with slightly smaller gloves, but as usual, he won't countenance a fight under any rules but his own.

Is Mayweather jnr the most unendearing sportsman of all time? I can't stand the bloke and his terrible legacy, he was a talent but he's not the fighter that his record suggests.

Usyk by round ten, Bellew is in the shape of his life and will no doubt give everything, but he's never been in with anything like this before. Bellew is probably the seventh or eighth best cruiser in the world, Usyk is head and shoulders above them all.

Dave Allen fighting another nobody. I love the bloke but at some point he has to step it up, just a notch at a time, but he has to face better than fat Cruisers masquerading as Heavyweights.

He's made himself really popular though, they can't put him against anyone half decent as he will lose. Guess they will build him like Goldberg in WCW have him beat a load of no-ones then cash out against some with a bit of a name

He seems to be taking it more seriously now, he needs to do more of that and train all year round. He's still a bit of a circus act, on early on in the evening against a random no hoper, I'd love to see him push on and get a British title fight.

Nothing more than a tick over fight for Allen, they’ll have him fighting for the British title next, no doubt about that...

He’s been in with Lenroy Thomas, Tony Yoka & Nick Webb this year alone.

That’s not bad at all for the level of fighter he is...

Comfortable fight for Allen, he has another lined up in December!

Decent punch from Ricky Burns to put away Cardle in the 3rd.
