Re: Adam Azim vs. Steve Claggett | BBC - 30 May 2026

I wouldn't complain about the stoppage, it was perfect for me. I can't understand why this kid isn't being let off the leish. His team obviously know more than me but he looks special to me. Hopefully he knows that Shalom is stalling what could be a stratospheric rise and he'll find a way to wriggl...

He's young. He's prime. He's fast. He's fresh. He's everything Usyk doesn't want to be fighting right now.

Re: Ted Cheeseman return

Saw some unsavoury rumours about the Cheese and DV. Think he has or had a gambling problem too. Seems a troubled individual. Yeah I vaguely remember the gambling rumours, stories of him blowing his entire purse for a fight before he’d even had the fight. I haven’t heard about the DV though. I hope ...

Re: Is Conor Benn really that bad?

Would he beat Jack Rafferty ? Doubtful Conah Walker ? Maybe, he’s got a lot of miles on the clock Crocker ? 50/50 , Benn might well outwork him but he’d be susceptible to a fight ending counter Catterall ? Jack would box his head off So it’s fair to say Benn’s at or near British level which makes h...

Re: Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven - 23 May 2026

Good stoppage

Usyk was below par but not as below par as the comms

Wouldn't fancy him strongly if the rumoured Kabayel fight is made

Great effort from Rico albeit with the proviso that he showed, questionable stamina as a behemoth of a man boxing a herky jerky style for 11 rounds

As someone who'd never heard of Overeem i found him to be a refreshing change from the usual company men parroting the pre agreed narrative

Gutted by that as I’ve really enjoyed Torres’ fights up to this point and thought he could move right up the ladder

The manner of that defeat to a non elite opponent makes it unlikely he’ll reach genuine world level,

I'm a big Bunce fan but his BBC podcast on this fight is a disgrace. Chatting with Eddie Hearn at length about how he thinks the pyramids were built. We rightly have a go at the YouTube divs for not being serious journalists but this is on a par with that. Zero probing, zero mention of criticism, z...

Re: Jack Catterall v Shakhram Giyasov

Jack made harder work of Ekow than a world level fighter should have. Did that show him to be on the slide or merely unsuited to Ennis' tactics / training methods ? I like Jack but an ageing fighter swapping trainers every fight is rarely a recipe for success. Could be a hard night's work for him on...

Re: Lee McGregor Vs Michael Gomez Jr

Fair play to Steedo on the opening bell pod recently for saying what a lot of people are thinking and calling into question Benavidez’ insane stamina.

He alluded to a similar suspicion about Gomez after this fight.
