Great fight, solid last round from Burns he looked a bit fresher surprised he didn't turn it on 3/4 rounds ago....

Again, Crolla should take that for me but very close.
 
Anyone watch the Conor Benn fight? He needs some tougher challenges because he has heavy hands from the looks of things!!

I need to put my bag up...

He's a fantastic fighter but he's only 18 and has no amateur experience. I'm sure he'd give anyone a fight but he's raw and it's too early to put him in for title fights.
 
Groves - Cox is about to kick off on ITV box office.

I think Eddie Hearn's a bit of a **** but he get so much **** for his box office fights but they're 1000x better than this, Eubank's last 2 fights and Hughie Fury's. Every ****ing fight is on ppv now, most of which aren't getting any buys. It's going to kill boxing.
 
Very tasty fight so far!

The whole structure of these events has been pretty bad so far, some poor fights made worse by crap editing at times. There's been very little advertisement or build up either, just pure money grabbing.
 
Didn't last long but that was a cracking little fight. Cox really came out flying and giving as good as he got but Groves' power was too much for him.

Assuming Eubank doesn't pull out of the fight I can see a very similar fight between him and Groves. Eubank will come out swinging but his lack of power could prove costly if he leaves himself as open as he usually does because Groves has the power to take him out with 1 shot.

It's all short sighted thinking. They stupidly think by just being on PPV that they'll automatically make more money but as you say, it's so poorly run and no advertising behind it that I can't see how they're selling nearly enough views to make any money from it.
 
Joshua - Pulev fight is OFF, Pulev has picked up an injury.

Carlos Takam has stepped in to take Pulevs place, so a fight is still set for Oct 28th.
 
Anyone seen the some of the fury about Joshua from the black American boxing youtubers? I was just searching to see how Wilder was getting on and some of the hate for AJ is palpable.
