Good fight. Are we back in a good era for the sweet science after a good few years of rubbish?

We thanking Eddie Hearn?

Wasn't that impressed by Spence Jr. Brook tired as many feared he would due to the weight cut, hopefully he sees sense now and moves up. Reminds me of Frampton against Quigg, Frampton had no energy from round 7 odd on but is a different man at FW.

Partly he seems to be at the van guard of putting good fights together. But I actually think Dana White could be as responsible, (indirectly of course)

I like Eddie Hearn think he does a great job for boxing plus he doesn't take himself overly serious in the media and his interviews are always entertaining especially with that IFL TV.

Groves fight was good too. Interesting to see where he goes now there seems plenty of options in that division.

Any of youse been watching the show about the mcguigans? Good watch. Last episode this week.

Eddie Hearn has brought big fight nights back which is great after a few years in the doldrums.

It's his job and of course he is making a lot of money out of it and why shouldn't he?

Getting booed because of the 'cheeky chappie' image he has IMO

McGuigan documentary brilliant. Looking forward to the 3rd show. Hope Cummings achieves his goal!

Sure he's one himself.

Burnett is a bit of a beast

Split decision my hole, what drugs was that judge on. Musta been a mess up there.

Had to have been marking the scorecard the wrong way around. That's the only explanation that I can think of

Had to be. Great boxer and fella

Yeah Eddie Hearn said he got the fighters mixed up and genuinely thought Burnett was Haskins. Lucky the fight wasn't close. He should get the road after that.

I'm far from a boxing aficionado, but this is good stuff...especially the first round
