Cringeworthy stuff

The drunken best man stuff.

What was the fake storm-off about?

[gallsman]

Think Hearn probably on the money there. AJ a proud fighter, gave it everything, did better than last time but Usyk just simply a brilliant, better fighter.

Embarrassing? Absolutely.  Understandable? Maybe.

Feeling robbed having paid 50 quid for an annual sub.

Joyce won well but don't think he's anywhere near elite at that weight.

Really enjoyed that scrap!!

On Joyce will be interesting to see how he does when he makes the step up against Usyk.

Has a granite chin, be interesting to see how he goes. Thinks he gives anyone of the top 3 a serious fight

Donovan lucky to get the win in Belfast tonight

Not sure he's Championship level would have him 5th behind the big boys.

Looking forward to him taking on one of the big guns though. Hard to believe he was fighting someone 7 years his junior and was the one setting the pace of the fight. Parker is a certain level but is no dozer and has never been knocked out I hope Joyce can step up.

It was a very entertaining fight. The French lad was clearly the harder hitter, was never in trouble and always seemed to finish rounds well but Donovan got through an awful lot of work and probably landed more.

There was a young local lad who got robbed in the first televised  fight, so maybe that was the marker 'no hometown decisions here' that gave the bit of leeway for the big fight 😉

The ring announcer was absolutely useless. Had no idea how to announce results. It was as if he'd never seen a boxing event before.

A bit of a shit show developing for the Eubank-Benn fight. Morally I can't see how they can go ahead but money talks at that level in boxing. I dare say Benn knew what he was up to.

I think Joe Joyce could beat any of the top heavyweights.  I would back him to beat Joshua, Wilder and Usyk and he would have a good chance against Fury too.

As for Benn and Eubank, its a joke that its going ahead.  Same thing happened before with Saunders and Whyte too.  The BBBC don't utilise the testing body where the results originated from, but if thats the case then why were they being tested by that body.  Strange that the test from the body they do use has came back clean though.  Very ironic that Hearn and Benn were on their high horse with regard to how Eubank had to comply with the contractual agreements to meet the weigh-in conditions, restricting his ability to rehydrate etc. too.  There has been some change in Benn's physique the past few years, maybe we now know why.
