It's so good to see Katie back on form after looking so disillusioned at the end of of her amateur career. She's only embellishing her status as the GoAT at this stage.

How sore would it be on the end of a Canelo body shit??

Very sore and very smelly.

The whole thing a set up from the start. Rocky as champ weighed in, walked in and announced first. Clearly just delighted to get the payday as he had absolutely no business in there.

No business no defence no tactics no clue! Wtf was he thinking? Embarrassing

How did that fight even happen, Feilding not even a proper Super Middleweight WBA Champion. Struggling to see whhat was in it for Alvarez

Scratches a fight from his 11 fight contract, gets paid and gets to call himself a three weight world champion?

Didnt realise until I watched it this morning but Fielding was only a 'Regular' WBA Champion, not the 'proper' Champ.

The WBA are a joke with their belt situation. Alvarez won't stay up at that weight but at least now on paper he will be able to call himself a 3 weight champion.

Any thoughts on Carl's fight at the weekend? He's small favourite but this will be harder than bookies think. Could even be another draw!

Sky sports boxing section is usually brilliant but its embarassing how they have lots of pundit views and articles etc on Chisora and Whyte and not one mention of this fight. Same with Fury the other week.

Milltown Row2 · December 21, 2018, 12:12:21 AM

Personally think it's the worst time of year to have the fight and financially difficult to go and watch, so will be a party fight night at the In-laws instead..

Warrington a very good fighter, fighting at home, be interesting to see how this is scored since the Fury fight, as I feel it may go distance

Frampton will win handily enough. I heard the same hype around Quigg. It seems to be an English thing. And a split decision was an embarassing accounting of that night, too.

Frampton remains the best featherweight in the world and this is just a stepping stone on the path to Santa Cruz III, which is the fight people really want to see. After two excellent fights already it has the potential to make that rivalry one of the all-time greats.

Dont think Frampton will get it as easy as some think.
Frampton has a great engine but so does Warrington and he is relentless.
If Frampton does win it will be by fine margins.

The Manchester card is a stacked one in comparison to the London one. Ridiculous putting the two cards on the same night before Christmas anyway.

Hope Chisora wins the other one. If its anything like the first one it will be a war
