By the way, Compubox is simply a couple of people sat ringside pressing buttons subjectively deciding whether a punch landed or not. It's not statistical fact.

Why do you blood and guts guys keep trying to talk for everyone in the sport? I want a prize fighter to be skilled. I want a professional fighter to look like he's doing something an amateur can't do ... like both Ward and Kovalev. Gatti/Ward type fights ruin boxing because it creates the same idio...

Cool guys, I know what it actually means. My question is meant in a deeper sense, though. Think about the question more philosophically, like what we want from the sport as fans, and what fighters want from the sport as prizefighters.

He said this to Andre Ward at the end of round 2. I've never heard those words uttered before in boxing.. I think these words ask interesting questions about what a prizefighter wants, what they want to achieve. And what the fans want. I guess my question is vague, what do you make of Hunters commen...

I have another question, I saw the weighin on YouTube and it appeared Frankie Gavin weighed 149.7lbs, yet everyone on Twitter was saying that he was 6lbs overweight. Is this a welterweight title fight? What was he supposed to weighin at? Think the day before he was still had 6lb over and the board ...

Ah, I see, it's in the contract beforehand, and is similar (but to a lesser monetary scale), to when Mayweather paid Marquez $1m for each pound he was over the agreed catchweight?

I wanted this to be in Belfast so I could go and watch it

But glad the fight is being made. I'm going to buck the trend and say Santa Cruz wins this time.

Hello, Does anyone know the financial implications/punishments for a fighter weighing above the weight limit? For example; say, if a (£60k) purse tonight was 50/50 split, £30,000 to each fighter, would they incentivize Eggington to agree to not cancel by giving him £40,000 and punish Gavin by paying...

I don't think Ortiz has natural great power. Just throws a lot of punches.

50/50 seems fair

Kovalev didn't look that good in his last fight

Exactly true. But I might buy a ticket to the Cleverly-Braehmer rematch of it's in Wales

I've never really thought that having a degree is a mark of intelligence. Rather just, a person that has been educated in a specific area, (usually to do a job in that area). I think most people can tell the difference between an intelligent and unintelligent person within a quick 5 min conversation...

Pacquiao,... got to be..
