The live gate doesn't matter. It's chump change in the grand scheme of things, unfortunately. It's all about Netflix US eyeballs and sponsorship deals based off of that. Obviously this should be a big stadium fight for the UK fans. But then again, if it was for the fans then it should have been 4 or...

Usyk don't want no Kebab.

When the bell went I thought the ref was frantically trying to stop the action for the round. That would have been the obvious act, and for that it a suspicious action. Of course the British refs are suspect AF. A few weeks ago we had Chisora with the referee purposefully giving him a walk around th...

I think it shows that non boxers can cause more problems than regular boxers because they are more unorthodox. Guess we saw this with Ngannou and Fury, It shows that the next time we get dominant MMA fighter or dominant Kickboxer testing himself in Boxing we'd be wise not to write him off as a no h...

If you think Rico wasn't going to recover with 1 minute rest and 3 minutes left then you haven't seen Rico in kickboxing. He gets hit with harder and gets up. That's not to say he wouldn't get stopped, but you can't step in and stop it there. Rico was throwing a fookin' punch and the bell had alread...

Most impressive thing from Itauma there was the restraint he showed after that vicious uppercut to effectively finish Franklin with a jab. Another fighter would have blasted through with a full strength hook or straight in the heat of the moment, possibly giving Franklin a much more serious risk of ...

I think Franklin is here to be done inside 3 or 4 and Moises to be hyped to do what Joshua couldn't.

Nicky Holkzen made a pretty good account of himself at short notice against Callum Smith.

This should be a fun fight while it lasts if Rico can rough him up in the clinches and move well. I expect he will duelly get splatted between 4-6 ish.

It doesn’t work like that. This will have to be the one fight as Matchroom had matching rights in his deal. Crazy fight for TKO/Turki to pay Benn $15m for. It's plausible that it was a one fight deal with an option for a warm up within the same contract. Structured like that it seems unlikely that ...

Do you think he's the clear no. 2? I think his conditioning is questionable at times, like when he fought Zhang. I think Wardley toughs it out against him. Either way fun fight. what about Fury? Would Kabs beat him (Tyson, not Roman) Fury won't be fighting Kabayel. Absolutely no chance. Fury wouldn...

I'd prefer Usyk vs Luke Littler.

People will watch because of the intrigue. There was a round in one of the Joshua-Usyk fights where Joshua rushed Usyk from the bell and had him in all sorts of bother. There's no way JP can outrun Joshua if Joshua decides to go for it. No way. With that said, Ngannou vs Fury set the model. No one w...

What are you trying to say?

The point of this fight for AJ is to open the audience for his big Fury fight next year. Logan Paul is there to do the job, and as long as he isnt injured, will simply say AJ was too big and not his weight class. He will probably roll in a % of the AJ next fights into the deal if he brings those fig...

Are they using this to build up to AJ vs Tommy Fury?

It's a good fight. While Franklin isn't as good as he was when he faced Joshua, he isn't as far gone as Whyte was. Referee will absolutely stop it at the first opportunity he can as is the norm in a British ring of late So I think the most we can hope for, or beneficial is that Franklin comes motiva...

Fwenk back to his old ways now the Saudi money has passed.

Itauma off the bill, and headlining with this, possibly on PPV.

Need to get Howard Foster and Herb Dean to battle it out in an I quit match.

Foster W11. Well done Foster. He has done it again. The guy's an fvcking idiot, should have been fired at same time as IJL. The worst part is the gaslighting from everyone involved to convince you that the stoppage was great. Sucks for us, and sucks for the fighters (and especially Parker) as it wa...

if both fighters are Warren's, what's driving an early stoppage? Unbeaten vs Unbeaten. Wardley vs Usyk. Parker has been on a tear but Fwank would rather sacrifice him to launch Wardley or Itauma (not ready) into a more sellable title fight. Read the forum about Parker vs Usyk and most comments are ...

Foster W11.

Well done Foster.

He has done it again.

Zhang is a good test. Obviously though Frank has way more insider info than we do and he must know he's regressed alot. He is slow as molasses but his timing is impeccable. Would expect Itauma to come straight through him with speed, but Zhang has that well timed bang to make it interesting while th...

Allen vs Whyte. They can sell it as Allen trying to get a win back.

Makh surely done enough to get the next Itauma fight (well the one after December)

Put them both on the same card early(ish) next year.

What would be sound as a pound, would be if Riyadh season established a yearly British titlefights season with the Beeb, over the space of a 3/4 weekends. Now hear me out. -British Heavyweight title -British Middleweight -British Welterweight Just get some domestic names out in the same end of year ...

Thought Dychko won comfortably.

I suspect Franklin got the decision for the inevitable Itauma demolition job and "he done what Joshua couldn't" push.
