Boxing Thread

Seems fishy enough though.  Talk emerging last week of him walking straight into a world title fight at SFW therefore there would be no point risking that for the fight he was to have as that was basically an eliminator for a FW title shot.  The opportunity to go out on a high as a 3 weight world champion would be hard to resist.

From a purely boxing standpoint he hasn't looked the same since moving up in weight in my opinion, so moving up again wouldn't be a good idea. Now it could be from a financial/legacy standpoint that it makes sense.

His career best performance, the first Santa Cruz fight, was at FW, the first time he stepped up. He'll struggle to hurt people at SFW.

Edit: have just seen your update.

Loma to make short work of Campbell tonight, good to have a fight with a decent start time....

Ringwalks now if anyone else watching.

Really good fight so far.

Thought the cards were harsh on Campbell but Loma is special..

Campbell was game but Lomachenko is a good level above him. Like the Dubs v Tyrone last year tried hard but ultimately not good enough!!

Hughie Fury should give up!!

Not sure to be honest, any time Campbell had a bit of a success Loma upped it every time. Would have been stopped other than for that rugby tackle at the end of the 12th!

This Sky in-ring interviewer is a twat of the highest order.

Povetkin is no mug whatsoever. Had Joshua in all sorts of difficulty before getting stopped.

I thought Campbell lost every round bar the first. His size kept him in it, hopefully Lomachenko sticks to his word and lifts the last LW belt and then jump back to 130 and sorts GD out, although I heard that Mayweather said they are going to just wait to he ages.

Rough one about Errol Spence. Hopefully he can make a recovery because he's one hell of a boxer.

[Olly]

I see Paddy Barnes has been beaten.

[nrico2006]

He may as well retire. Joe Ward lost on his pro debut too. Best amateur of recent years list on his pro debut too, Robeisy Ramírez.

Ward will hopefully get that one ruled a non contest. Hopefully he can recover from the injury and show his potential in the pro game.

I hope Barnes retires as he's just too old and not good enough for the level he wants to be in the pro game. It'll be interesting to see what he does with his life outside of boxing. He will maybe get a job with MTK.

Aye, I see Di Bella mentioned an appeal which would make sense. Ward could have an unreal career.
