watched the khan fight.  probably did enough to win, but never impressed.  got caught a few times with algieri right hand and shook him.  talk of khan v mayweather...no chance,  khans appeal has faded in the US and that performance will only confirm to most over there that khan hasnt got it

Can we guess Mayweathers last fight?

Surprised Danny Garcia not linked......

Most likely to be a rematch with an old foe.....

Don't think Khan has a chance now......

Cotto? Keith Thurman? winner of Broner vs Porter? Think Khan would be more entertaining than any of them and would love to see him get shut up

This has been a class night of boxing on the Matchroom PPV. Joshua is a machine.

Jesus Mitchell's eye was one of the worst I have seen "grotesque"

Was bad alright, a bit of a shame as he'd been boxing really well for about 8 rounds or so. Linares is a decent operator though. Lee Selby looked like he is the real deal. Brook, as expected, was just a few levels above Frankie Gavin. He needs a big name next.

In other news, interesting to see Carl Frampton has signed with Al Haymon. Is he preparing to move onto the next stage of his career in the U.S.?

They are taking him nice and slow. I am looking forward to seeing his continued progress through the rankings. Have high hopes for this one.
The card was very good - all on youtube for anyone who hasn't seen it yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H86hmDFuqiA

Some intriguing matchups ahead - some good HWs on the EU side of the Atlantic now...

Well looks like Cotto made very short work of Geale last night, although I think Geale came into the fight way overweight and never looked at the races at all. Probably be the end of him after 2 such brutal defeats

Anyway in the tall and short of it, it should in theory equate to Cotto being a good match for Golovkin? However looks like he is gonna fight Canelo next (easier and more lucrative option so a no brainer) with the winner GGG. Hope both happen, both fights should be clinkers and with GGGs potential showdown with Froch we could have a great 2nd 6 months of 2015. Although if we got 2 of those 3 I'd be happy, tho think we will only get 1... with everyone ducking Golovkin

Any word on next opponent for joshua, would like to see him take on david price. Still think joshua would win but would be a good indicator of where he's at.

A fight with Price doesn't make a lot of sense? Price would be a step back now surely? I'd say they'll throw him in with Tyosn Fury within 2 years while it is still highly marketable. Now would be too soon. I expect him to be challenging for a title in 2 years or less if they keep moving him on as they have...?
