Can't wait for Adam Smith's cringe commentary on the Natasha Jonas fight...
Before the fight:
Jonas, tough, uncompromising, relentless Olympic medallist! A trailblazer for women's boxing which is thriving in the UK and the world! A typically teak tough scouser!
During the fight:
And what a fantastic advert for women's boxing! This is one of the the best quality and most exciting fights we have seen recently on SkySports! Male or female!
Etc etc
I don’t understand why they put irrelevant girls fights on big cards. I think they lose more PPV sales from people like me who resent having to sit thru this rubbish before the main event and so opt out of the purchase than they gain from the tiny minority of women’s boxing fans who might be tempted by it.
I mean is there literally anybody at all out there who was undecided as to whether to buy this PPV but who now thinks yep it’s worth the money now they’ve added Jonas to it ?

After the fight when they embrace:
And there’s the respect.
Yeah annoyed I missed that. Lol “AND THERE’S THE RESPECT!!!! they were enemies in the build up but typically, in our wonderful sport of boxing they are now conspirators in one of the best fights we have ever seen on Sky Sports!!!!” (Smith collapses in a cocoon of his own jism)

Unfortunately if you repeat the phrase ‘world title’ ‘the women are as good as the men’ enough times the mass will believe it

Press Release | More Manchester undercard details for Feb. 19th
Also added to the Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook undercard for Saturday, February 19th at the AO Arena in Manchester, England is Manchester’s Brad Rea, who returns in an eight-round middleweight rumble with undefeated Irish southpaw Craig McCarthy. Rea is following up an incredible October battle with Jez Smith. With neither Rea (11-0) nor McCarthy (8-0-1) likely to take a backwards step, another classic firefight could be on the cards. The hometown crowd will be behind Rea but McCarthy won’t be alone either: Manchester has one of the largest Irish populations of any city in the UK, with an estimated one-third of the citizenry drawing some form of Irish descent.
A vocal army of supporters will be in attendance when Manchester super middleweight Charlie Schofield (17-1) makes his first defense of his English title against Germaine ‘G-Man’ Brown (8-0-1). Schofield won the belt with a shutout win over Mickey Ellison in June last year and is intent on a triumphant night for himself and the home fans.
As previously reported, Liverpool's Natasha ‘Miss GB’ Jonas will jump all the way up to 154 to face Poland's Ewa Piatkowska (16-1) for the vacant WBO title
The card also features the professional debut of Olympic bronze medal winner Frazer Clarke; cruiserweight Viddal Riley and brothers Adam Azim and Hassan Azim; plus Yorkshire's Ibrahim Nadim.
Brook on Leaving Hearn: He's Got Too Many Fighters, I Was Being Put on The Shelf; No Bad Blood
“Once you turn your back on me, don’t ever turn round and start walking back to me,” Hearn told TalkSport in 2020. “You’re either with me or you’re not.”
“This is a sport where I had both my eye sockets [damaged],” Brook told IFL TV. “This is a sport you can legally get killed in. It got to the stage where I was being put on the shelf, you know? I’m self-managed. I went out there and got the Crawford fight.
“At the end of the day when it’s all said and done, I want to be out of this sport with a bag full of money for my girls. I’m not gonna go worry about Eddie putting me on the shelf. He didn’t mean to put anyone on the shelf. He’s just got too many fighters and that many dates to get these top prizefighters out [in the ring] in a certain amount of time. If he can’t make certain super fights for the fighters, the fighters aren’t gonna get no money.”
“He’s got millions of fighters, he’s getting millions off everyone,” Brook said of Hearn. “He’s always up, always delivering the big fights, and he obviously takes his percentage, he’s always getting his fights. But the fighters need to get in their fight, so that’s how it's played out, basically.”
Brook reiterated that his decision to leave Hearn was “business,” and nothing more than that.
“If it was the right move or if it was the wrong move, could it have been a better deal, could it not have been a better deal – at the time, it was what I needed to do,” Brook said. “I needed to be active, I need to get more money. I need to be active and have a fight. On my side I’ll always have love in my heart for Eddie Hearn. You can ask him the same question.”
“It’s business at the end of the day,” Brook continued. “[Hearn] got me into that position to become world champion. He did everything for me. But he has all these fighters. It’s hard to keep everyone happy, basically. There’s no bad blood on my side. I don’t know about him. I don’t know what he thinks of me, but that’s it for me. At the end of the day it’s business.”

I f*cking hate cringey commentators like Smith.
It's embarrassing when you're trying to get a non- boxing fan watching a fight, and Smith is going all deep and cringey into all aspects of the boxers lifes and career.
Anthony Crolla 'such a nice guy, family man'. Campbell Hatton - always talking about his dad Ricky. Ingle gym - ' the famous wincobank gym ' , comparing every domestic fight to Benn- Eubank, etc
Going all deep into how many kids they have amd talking about how theyve lost a grandparent etc. Its far too deep for me. Don't wanna know all details about their life.

Smith is the worst of the worst. And now darts fans have the pleasure of his commentary. I actually miss the black skellington
Khan Questions Brook’s Well-Being: 'I Live that Clean Life…Kell Goes on a Bender'
“I think I live a reasonable, clean life, and I think that’s what’s going to help me going into this fight as well, even being 35,” Khan said during a virtual media conference. “Kell is a very similar age to me. I think Kell’s lifestyle is very different. We live two opposite lifestyles. I live that clean lifestyle. I’m a family man. I spend time with my family. I don’t drink alcohol. I live that clean life.
“Whereas with Kell I don’t think he does. I think Kell goes missing for a couple of days. He goes on a bender.”
Khan believes his physical conditioning will give him the decisive edge over Brook.
“If you saw [Brook] at the press conference you would see how unfit, how unhealthy he looked,” Khan said. “Is he going to be in the best condition in 10 week? Whereas for me I’ve been training for the last couple of months. Time will tell.”
Canelo turned his back, AJ scared to get hit, Fury v Whyte out of his control, not involved in Khan v Brook, falling into the trap of women's boxing, can't make a decent fight for Andrade etc

Cynical late career cash in? Yes.
Both well past it? Yep.
Do i want to watch it ? Yes I definitely do.
Two china chinned punchers, who really can’t stand each other, both trying desperately to land the jackpot one punch lottery winning bragging rights punch that’ll end it early, what’s not to like?
And no one has any idea really who’s going to land first. My guess is Khan’s faster hands get there first.
