AJ showed this inability to take a punch a couple of years ago.

Then he came back as a 'new and improved' version which has proved to be a false dawn.

The man should hang up his gloves however with Eddie in his ear I dount that will be happening

I wonder is their big mate Daniel Kinahan still involved in the background?

This Saudi love in is both a sportswashing and a money laundering exercise and them Kinahan balloons won't be too far away

That McGregor chimp cut across a Usyk interview and shouts something like 'come down to Marbella we'll catch up'

Serious stench off the whole thing but sure lookit, allah wakba

If he can fill Wembley again, train for 5 months and work for 12 minutes in the ring, why wouldn't ya for that money

His health and well being

The RTÉ sports department are continuing with it's long standing policy of pretending Northern proboxers dont exist.  Not a word on IBF World champion Anthony Cacace beating Josh Warrington.

WTF are Saudis doing to boxing?

[gallsman]

This is absolutely ludicrous. What should be a spectacular fight being held up for all this nonsense. All the Saudis pretending they know who these three are, or that they're allowed listen to them.

That said, Turki is ensuring fights get made that otherwise wouldn't.

[ONeill]

It's like Rocky 4 on speed.

[ONeill]

Hard to call this. Beterbiev's age bound to catch up on him soon.

Yup, but thought that would maybe the case against Smith as well and he showed how much he still has.

Brilliant. Big fights constantly and all at a decent time.

[gallsman]

Terrific fight so far.

[ONeill]

So tight. Bivol hasn't dropped concentration.

[gallsman]

Think TNT are over egging Beterbiev a bit here here. Thought the 9th was pretty clearly Bivol and Dempsey saying all the scoring punches coming from beterbiev.

[gallsman]

Pace has really caught up with Bivol the last couple of rounds.

Hard to call this. Beterbiev's age bound to catch up on him soon.
