Point off for Ramlavs means Sharp has won now, but it's still the most competitive fight on the card.

100-88, 98-90 and 96-92.
I can understand the close card and the wide card. It was hard-fought throughout, but Sharp shaded or won nearly all of the rounds.

Joshua vs Whyte.
Joshua v Whyte and Lewis vs Mason are the two British heavyweight title fights that spring into my head as having two World class/future world class guys in there.

Time Dubois stepped it up now. Every fight (except maybe Gorman) since Kevin Johnson has been a step back. This 'oh he's only young' excuse doesn't wash anymore.

Stick him in with another young up and comer like Ajagba or Hrgovic.

Certainly not under Frank.

Dubois needs his Bonecrusher Smith type fight, no good knocking over bums like Bruno did and then struggle when someone hits back and doesn't go over quickly.

Yehh has DDD taken a clean-ish shot? I wanna see how he reacts, before he steps up big time.

Certainly not under Frank.
I can see Frank doing what he did with Hatton, defending a lightly regarded title all against guys he is likely to beat but also learn from too.
Then he will step him up when ready.

If there was a Charles Martin kicking about with a belt, he’d take it tomorrow.

Or he could do a Yarde and give him the easiest possible opponents, until he becomes a mandatory.

I think he rates Dubois higher than that.

I know Joyce has an impending fight against Huck, but it seemed like BT were angling for Dubois v Joyce. Would be a good domestic matchup that.

Dubois is with the wrong promotional outfit - No one has a clue who he is.

Expect plenty more 'learning' fights and lots of talk of how he could beat the big three now. Tiresome.

Yep. I also suspect Liam Williams and Josh Warrington will be getting itchy feet. Frampton is basically promoted by Bob Arum now. There is so little exposure of these very talented fighters.

Frank just doesn’t seem to promote. Difficult without the Sky machine I appreciate, but more could be done to sell the fighters and the shows. Last night didn’t look half full.

I mean people were excited fo r the Gorman fight and that was a good unbeaten prospects clash and it was only like 4 months ago. Let's see who is next, seems a bit premature for the despondency over his matchmaking.

Josh got itchy feet, left, and his career has skyrocketed!

That’s funny because when he got the BT deal the armchair experts on here were bringing out the stats on how BT were bigger than sky. Had bigger viewership and customer base etc etc etc.

Total and utter bollocks and it’s been proved since the deal was made that those claims were/are bollocks.
