The Blue Riband division is on fire according to Adam, and I tell you what we saw the respect there.

What a class act Wardley is though. So articulate, gracious and dignified in defeat.

You'd think that AJ will tell him not to. Surely that's a risk you wouldn't want to be considering during a fight.

Trouble is, he didn't look fully recovered. If he's to carry on he'll need to go round the houses aiming for a fringe belt.

Looong, deserved holiday for the man now. It worried me how low his gloves were, so fixing that alone could help him massively.

Sadly Wardley, who I admire, is now in his Joe Joyce era.

DDD vs kabayal … please baby Jesus. Someone just give Hysa a million to step away and throw ddd strait in haha. Or more realistically early next year…
He needs to retire. He should
Have made good money off these
Two fights. I’d really worry about his health after these two that first fight. Not worth getting any more damage.

Are they scheduling the Hrgovic-Dubois fight before he has faced Sanchez? We all know that means a Cuban banana skin ahead.

Wonder where Jalolov and Kabayel fit in among Frank's plans.

The DAZN twattery never ceases, does it? That presenter fellow with zero charisma just said Dubois is viewed by many as the best heavyweight in the world.

How many times does Usyk need to knock him out?

What an absolute shower of cnuts DAZN on screen talent are. Shameless liars who will say anything to be on television.

Kabayel v Dubois is the fight. What could realistically top that match up.

Jalalov, hopefully he switches sports to indoor bowls or something.

Weird point, but Dubois has a lovely smile and is endearing when he's laughing. His team could quadruple his fan base by exploiting that.

I’d also prefer Dubois - Kabayel to Dubois - Hrgovic.

That way round we get to see a new fight & Hrgovic gets his homecoming.

Hrgovic can get the winner.

Kabayel seems to be getting a bit marginalised, if he beats Hysa which seems pretty likely they have to make the Dubois fight next surely.

If Dubois wants to be the man, needs to take him on.

Never scored the O'Doherty/Gomez Jr fight but looked like a 116-112 Gomez type of fight, lots of good exchanges, mostly clean, ref rarely got involved, Gomez Jr strayed low a few times but it was that kind of fight, O'Doherty had his moments, I'd say first 7 rounds it was nip/tuck for 2:30 but Gomez had a knack for finishing strong and landing damaging punches, rounds 8/9 he put it on O'Doherty but he was brave kept fighting back but didn't have the power to deter Gomez, O'Doherty did finish well, closed the gap but he'll feel grateful with the draw

Usyk is pretty much retired.
He's got a fight scheduled, is the lineal champ and may do what virtually all previous fighters have done and find it impossible to walk away.
