I cant see Crawford losing to anyone coming up in weight to face him. if he goes up though, that could be a different story

Like Crawford, I don't really see Garcia having many issues going from 135 to 140

Stevenson vs Fonfara this Sat. I used to rate Fonfara but the way Smith jnr demolished him has made me question if he's really that good. Stevenson KO, 7th round.

The IBF has approved a Joshua-Klitschko rematch to take place before 2 December. The winner must then face Pulev in a title defence.

If people buy this it is actually madness

The week before you have Josh Taylor v O'Hara Davies on Channel 5, and Billy Joe Saunders in a World Title defense on BT Sport

How Eubank Jr gets away with defending a joke world title on PPV is ridiculous

Incredible scorecards for split decision. 119-107 For Burnett from 2 judges and 118-107 For Haskins from the American judge. Surely he got the names the wrong way round haha

Shocked to read of Errol Christie's death from cancer at 53. I was a massive Mark Kaylor fan and remember their battle well.

RIP

Mayweather in round 1 was 50/1 the other day.

Worth a couple of pound surely?

I haven't seen one single TV ad/commercial for Kovalev/Ward II which is THIS SATURDAY. That is unacceptable.

Where can you bet that the fight never goes ahead? This will get cancelled for some plausible but spurious reason three months before the big day.

McGregor stands as less chance of beating Mayweather (or any other professional boxer) in a boxing match than Mayweather would of beating McGregor in a UFC tussle. UFC is just a bunch of high school wrestlers with amateur boxing skills rolling around on the floor.

This is a pair of c**** being hyped by c**** to perform in front of c****.

On this off chance this goes ahead what's the price on Mayweather winning by a knockout the first time he lays a glove on McGregor? As a side bet, can you have a punt on McGregor not managing to hit Mayweather at all?

I watched the HBO build-up shows for it this week, can't wait for it. I think Ward takes it by UD again, he'll probably make the right adjustments from the last fight.

Floyd Mayweather fighting a guy with no amateur background and no professional boxing fights. McGregor wouldn't even win a British area title, what a joke. There a videos on YouTube of McGregor sparring at Tony Jeffries gym in LA, which should provide enough reason for why this is more of a circus act than a sporting competition.

I'll be saving my 4am alarm for 3 weeks later for GGG vs Canelo :scarfer:

Where to begin with this.

The fight won't be cancelled three months before the big day because the big day is already just under 2 and a half months away.

McGregor has minimal to no chance of beating Mayweather. Mayweather would be submitted by Conor immediately in an Octagon.

UFC fighters are just high school wrestlers rolling around the floor? Olympic medalists and some of the most skilled juijitsu practictioners in the world are signed to the UFC. The sport happens to have the single most complete fighter in the world.

McGregor has absolutely no chance

Obviously both respected in their own sports, but this is a boxing match

McGregor has no experience of boxing at an amateur level let alone anything else
