Bellew is a powder puff puncher and he could get seriously hurt in the heavyweights.
Not being able to finish Haye when he was in that shape says it all.

Why would the ref not stop the fight?

I know if a fighter cant defend himself he will be stopped but surely there has to be something if a fighter is like that it is only a matter of time before he gets nailed (unless you are fighting a a balloon like bellew)

Glad to see that rat Khan not getting that fight, he doesn't deserve it.

Also glad to see Garcia and his da lose on Saturday night.

Can now look forward to Joshua and Klitschko and I would imagine Hughie Fury will beat Parker in May too. Hearing whispers of Santa Cruz wanting Selby next, Frampton really should have moved on after beating him the first time although the money and appeal of Vegas was probably too hard to turn down.

Saw a clip of Santa Cruz mumbling something about his dad and visa issues re coming to fight over here.

Looking forward to Crolla v Linares II. Enjoyed the 1st fight

Anyone watch the Thurman v Garcia fight? i watched it last night for the 1st. Have to say i agreed with the Garcia 115 - 113, that one judge scored it. American commentators had Thurman romping it. Think i might have been watching a different fight. They seem to put a lot of emphasis on amount of punches thrown per round. Matters none if they arent landing.

Ffs, not a hope Garcia won that fight!

Frampton didn't really make a mistake fighting Santa Cruz the second time. They'll have their trilogy given time and it will secure both fighters' legacies and financial futures. Total win-win. The tie being 1-1 makes the third fight an easy sell.

I wouldn't want them to fight again immediately anyways.

Why? You think he was destroyed then?

Jaysus Jamie Conlan doesn't make anything easy does he!

Laughed at his post fight interview too. When asked would he have to wear sunglasses at Michael's fight in New York he replied, it's snowing in New York f**k sake. I'D be running around looking like a fuckin d*ckhead

Yer man Conlon fought tonight should be ashamed.

Why indeed. Massive difference in class. Yer man knew once he offloaded he was getting a couple of body blows. When he finally came out his shell a bit more, Conlon went to town. Very exciting fighter with a big crowd behind him, could be a good fews ahead for Conlon

JimStynes · March 18, 2017, 10:41:45 AM

Should be ashamed? I thought it was an ok performance but he's a lot of pressure on him and it's his pro debut ffs. I'll judge him after he fights half decent people. Hopefully he can become a star!

Maybe taken out of context as I've not seen the interview only read a few quotes but were his remarks about Frampton not a wee bit disrespectful? He's a fair bit to go to get to Frampton status..

He'll need a good PR person around him to tone down the smickness about him.... he's got great potential definitely has a world title in him
