The Russian commentators were funny. "....durfsk, durfsk, durfsk, Locky Ponch, durfsk, durfsk. durfsk..."

Herol Graham dominates Julian Jackson and is on the verge of a career best stoppage victory when he walks into a massive punch and gets flattened.

Fast forward 24 years and Jackson's son does the exact opposite !!!! What an amazing and unpredictable sport.

Did anyone else notice that Julian Jackson's afro (he was in the corner for his son) was EXACTLY the same as it was 24 years ago except it's now gone silver ?!

This got me thinking about Adam Booth as a trainer. Lee didn't look great if you ask me. I think Booth gets overated for his work with Haye. What was the best performance from one of his fighters (talking technically/tactically) against decent opposition?

I would have to say Haye v Maccarinelli - David did look sharp and good in that fight although it only lasted under 2 rounds. He looked poor against Fragomeni, Barrett, ok he did a good job on an ageing and battle worn Ruiz but really his punch is what has really mattered not his 'boxing ability'.

Groves too had flaws under booth that weren't refined. Lack of decent defence, engine etc.

Groves v Degale, Woodhouse v Hamilton.

Looked like a cuffing/slap but did the damage alright!

That was a well thrown uppercut, got his hips into it.

Jackson walked right into it too.

If you watch the HBO cast, the other angle shows you his whole jaw moving and contorting with the impact of the punch. It looks a little innocuous from the other angle but it definitely landed hard.

Good to see Julian still rocking the fade, all these years on.

Cant always blame the trainer. Cant polish a turd!!!
