Don't understand that from Loma at all. Appeared surprised that Lopez was big and fast and he left it way to make before he started working.

Lopez thoroughly deserving but he hardly had to work for that at all. Was basically given a headstart of 7 rounds.

Well well well. WTF. Lomachenko's game plan was all wrong. Not sure what he was doing for 2/3 of that fight. Left it far too late.

Surprising!! From this recent era Floyd is still the best for me. That wasn't great from Loma.

How do you delete posts lads

Bizzare from Lomanchenko, injured?

Full fight -

Watched it again there and I have Lopez winning by an even bigger margin second time around.

Terry O'Connor is in trouble with the British Boxing Board. Never mind the horrendous scoring last night he was also on the phone during the fight!

I see Conlan is finally fighting someone who will hit back, be interesting to see how he does.

I hope he's the sort of fighter who gets better when he fights better opposition. I haven't been overly impressed with Conlon so far. He seems to lack the power punch that most top pros have. Would love to see him become a proper boxing star

Conlan still has work to do to reach the top but I'm not sure Dogboe is the quality opposition he needs right now.

Won't matter now as he's done his foot in while training!

Some exciting fights coming up - Usyk Chisora tomorrow, Santa Cruz Davis tomorrow too, Dubois Joyce in a few weeks, Whyte Povetkin too, Fury, Joshua, Crawford Brook soon also. Be interesting to see what Joshua is like after the Ruiz loss, will he be the same fighter or not?

Last couple of minutes of this interview means I hope Chisora gets knocks out tomorrow night

I think Chisora wins pretty handy (in light of my Lomachenko prediction a few weekends ago).

You'll get your wish now

I watched that yesterday, just turned on Kugan in an instant, I actually thought he was messing. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chisora win, but if I was putting money on it I would pick Usyk to edge this, maybe even by late stoppage.

BennyHarp · October 31, 2020, 10:43:08 AM

I'd be massively surprised if this is anything other than a comprehensive win for Usyk. Chisora is a very limited boxer and I expect Usyk not to get drawn into a war and pick him apart like he did to Bellew and like Fury did to Chisora in the past,
