[jamamb]

its his father, hes had it for a while

[KiwiRider]

The weight looks to be kind to Loma, he does not seem to be drained.

Linares has some bad acne. I've always been suspicious of him.

Do you think he's actually a teenager

[KiwiRider]

Oh dear. I didn't realise how huge the height disparity was

I have to watch it live. ESPN will send me the result after the fight. I can't be fvcked with changing the settings etc.

I'll just avoid my phone when I first wake up just in case.

I used to get bleacher report updates but I switched them off for that very reason. I just get the results of non televised fights on here now when I'm ready. There's usually a thread for most.

Very good fight, Vasyl Lomachenko v Jorge Linares.

Here’s my analysis...

[Taansend]

Oh dear. I didn't realise how huge the height disparity was

That fat guy in the background looks a bit sinister man

He's got a rapey stare

All I see in this photo is two little blue bikini bottoms.

Is there something else?

Aye there's a couple of cut off halter tops as well!

the one on the right looks as if she has chunky gammons My favourite type of flap......... Either that or a small cock

[Taansend]

It says that the fight is going to start at 9pm over here (2am GMT).

I bloody well hope not as I finish work at 10pm

Sounds too early.. I know they didn't want to be on at the same time as Ali vs. Munguia, which is likely later.

I'd rather it was the other way around.

I'll be honest I can't see too many boxing fans choosing Ali over Loma - unless they have the wrong Ali

It was only because HBO was supposed to show the GGG-Canelo replay before the Ali-Munguia fight.

Oh dear. I didn't realise how huge the height disparity was

The size of the knuckles on the one on the right should make up for that a bit
