Nathaniel Collins vs. Cristobal Lorente II | DAZN - 17 April 2026

[margaret thatcher]

mcintosh beaten 1 guy with a winning record, how was he in line for a vacant british title fight

i like royston bs a lot but that was a really soft title for him

[margaret thatcher]

john joe carrigan showed a 200iq boxing iq as an am , even as a junior. obvs a way to go but lookin good so far and career wise could see another billy joe saunders (hopefully more likable) . fwank has some real promising guys 22 and under

[Flump]

Posing too much here Collins, needs to do more.

[rd350lc]

Poor corner work from Collin's team.

No urgency in their work or from Collins either.
Looked very flat.

[Ruthless-RKO]

That’s that then..

[handsofstone]

114-113 Lorente, surprised I've got it that close tbh, Collins getting the benefit in a few of the first 5 rounds, disappointing fight thought, Collins was woeful, no idea what was up with him, just toothless , both guys were terrible and far too cagey then when Collins dropped Lorente in the 6th, it sparked it , it was only a jab that put Lorente down but it caught him on the temple and he looked stunned but Collins never pressed and within a minute Lorente was putting it on him

Second half it was nearly all Lorente, he landed all the meaningful shots, looked like Collins was struggling to cope, just flat, no urgency until the last round when he had one of his best, too little too late, wanted Collins win but glad Lorente never got stiffed on the cards

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anna got the DAZN job then?

I really like her. Very good. Not as good as Laura Woods, but very good.

Two walk out fights if anyone is interested.

Ade interviewed Wilder post fight and didn't ask him two blatantly obvious questions.........
1. After the knockdown, why did you stand in the corner and let Chisora off the hook?
2. What's next? Joshua?

[handsofstone]

Yeah Anna's very good, been around a bit now as well

I wouldn't blame him for that

Immediately post fight in the ring isn't really the time for probing questions or those that put him on the spot.

That's what good interviewers do. Larry Merchant would have asked those questions.

But Merchant dont know shat about boxing

He definitely did, as Floyd found out to his cost

Maybe he was the last of a dying breed though. Jim Gray also did some top class post fight interviews in his day.

You just don't tend to hear anybody ask tough questions anymore and although yes from a selfish perspective i'd find it interesting to hear a fighter's thoughts i think on balance it's probably not right to ask a knackered, emotional, concussed man tough questions immediately after what he's gone through in the ring.

Sh*t Larry Merchant would've been like "Why did you hold back in the corner before throwing the right hand? Were you trying to let him off the hook?" he really got in your face about it

Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant are my favorite TV Boxing crew, but Larry Merchant is the closest thing to me if I were a Boxing broadcaster. I love 'ol Merch.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Can he beat Shu Shu? that's the question?

He's earned himself a nice payday, yh.

My favourite Larry Merchant post fight interview is after Hopkins vs Hakkar. Hakkar put in an absolutely dreadful performance.

"Congratulations Bernard..."
"Thanks Larry"
"Aren't you embarrassed by this? A great fighter having to fight this..."

Merchant was speechless for a few moments trying to up with a way to describe Hakkar

One of my favorite moments in that interview is when Larry says something like "Do you think people are gonna pay to see fights like this?"

And Hopkins replied "Well, I'll tell you this Larry. I ain't leaving without a check tonight!"
