Anything can happen and they can both hit. I want Yarde to win but smart money is on Beterbiev.


Tank fights tonight with quite a busy card but I'll catch that tomorrow morning
 
Looks like AJ is going to be trained by Derick James - The trainer of Spence and one of the Charlo brothers. I think it's a much better fit than Garcia and I hope AJ actually trains out in his gym rather than in the UK. Get some dog in him. If there is one thing Charlo has is dog, i hope it rubs off on AJ
 
What's happening with Conor Benn? In early December we were being told that it would be wrapped up by the end of the year, then we were told by early January but it appears to have gone quiet.

they are still waiting for the decision to come back, you cant trust anything Benn or Eddie say about anything, they are seasoned liars IMO
 
No idea what Thurman has done to get a fight with Spence but at least it's not a title fight.

Thurman has to be the most inactive boxer only second to Gary Russell Jr. He had so much potential it was a shame to see him waste it.

Oh, I know you've got to take anything they say with a pinch of salt. The few comments I've seen from Hearn seem to be preparing everybody for a 1 year ban, which backdated to last summer means he'll be free to fight fairly soon, and then paint it as some kind of proof of innocence.
 
Anyone see Eubank Jr comments on the Benn situation on BBC? Their dads might be friends but Jr didn't hold back. He has gained a little bit more respect from me (not that this means anything :cry:).

www.bbc.co.uk

Chris Eubank Jr: Conor Benn has lost his 'credibility' after doping scandal, says rival

Conor Benn lost his "credibility" after failing two drugs tests in the build-up to their cancelled fight, says Chris Eubank Jr.
www.bbc.co.uk

I guess he's using it to build up some drama if they do fight. More people will watch it = ££££

Anyone watch the second gloves are off between Jr and Smith? Not quite as funny as the first one but still up there. The trash talking is probably better than the fight will be. Jr on form again.
