Think Cleverly should call it a day . Hardly in the fight and took a beating .

His attitude to the sport has always been dubious imo .

He has done.

Along with Bellew one of the least impressive World Champions of the last decade, he should have hung them up after the banjoing by Kovalev.

Obviously a poster .. Be a better backrower imo .

Lost amongst all the nonsense of last weekend was Miguel Cotto becoming World Champion for the 6th time against the game Yoshihiro Kamegai.

It was an entertaining fight, Kamegai eats punches like no other fighter, he just laps them up, unfortunately he has little technical ability but he just keeps on coming.

Amir Khant everyone's friend again and fighting ' somebody ' in the next couple of months . Opponent to be named .

Well Saturday is the big one, Canelo v Golovkin, I'm finding it difficult to call, Golovkin has looked beatable in his last two fights (I think he lost the last one on points but that's by the by), and Canelo has looked good against mostly lighter opponents.

Canelo has the skills to beat him I think but it's a tricky one.

[Discreet Hooker]

Both at their best I'd go for Golovkin . Now that is one fight I'd like to be sitting ringside .

Amazingly this fight is free to existing boxnation users, after that farce the other week I'm glad this will be available fta.

Did you see the Jacobs fight, triple G looked beatable in that one, he looked sluggish. I would agree that triple G at his best would win, i'm just not sure if Canelo has waited until he is on the decline. Golovkin says he still feels like the same fighter from 5 years ago, we'll have to wait and see.

It's a shame someone will lose, these are my two favourite fighters at the moment.

Also this weekend Callum Smith has his first fight in the Super 8's with Erik Skoglund and Billy Joe Saunders fights Willie Munroe JR, I would expect wins for both Smith and Saunders, also Daniel Dubois is knocking out some poor bugger.

Nice to see Billy Joe Saunders' son doing the travelling community proud.

The kid looks like he was going to do it anyway, regardless of Monroe's completely innocent and reasonable gesture.

All something of nothing.

Dubois v Carter was a cracker. Jaysus.

You couldn't have been more spot on. Huge mid-match. Shouldn't be allowed, really.

Smith looked a bit ragged but got the win.

I dunno. Seems a bit shitty to me.

Should we expect kids, family and well-wishers to be able to have a cheap shot on the scales?

[WaspInWales]

Well, that was shit.

[WaspInWales]

Thought Saunders came across well post-fight. Said he followed instructions in his corner and that seemed to be the case against a fighter who wasn't that interested. That said, he missed a chance to put a real statement down with a proper demolition job, but he did more than enough for the win.

Eyeing up the winner from Las Vegas later. He'll need to up his game considerably to beat either, but it's a decent payout.

Oh, and Bunce is a complete knobhead.

Oh and lol at Saunders' kid apologising for 'punching you in the nuts'.

What has happened to boxing lately ffs?

[Big D]

Adelaide Byrd once again bringing the sport in to disrepute. Consistently awful scoring no matter what sport - boxing or MMA (she scores that too).

No we shouldn't, but he's just a young kid getting over excited. Compare it to the behaviour of a lot of the 'adults' involved in boxing, and whatever Mayweather v McGregor was, and I'll stick to something of nothing.
He's also now apologised. Something most of the 'adults' refuse to do.

[paddy no 11]

Great fight

Thought GGG won myself, re match hopefully

[rowan]

How was this guy still alive?


Jake LaMotta, who has died aged 95, is generally acknowledged as one of the toughest men to have entered a professional boxing ring – a world middleweight champion best remembered for having fought the great Sugar Ray Robinson on six occasions. Brought up in poverty, a teenage hoodlum, married six times, imprisoned for pimping, a confessed rapist and sometime actor and standup comedian, LaMotta led a life that reads like a film script and was the basis for the greatest boxing movie of all time, Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull (1980).

The low profile ' fight ' between Fury & Parker was watched in an arena that was one quarter full .

Obviously Parker sees this as a stepping stone for a serious payday . Can't blame him .

If these two had met on my back lawn I'd have shut the curtains .

Very poor fight by all accounts.

Seems like Luke Campbell had a good showing v Linares.

Hennesey claiming after the fight that Fury fought like Mohammed Ali .! I think Hennesey must have taken some of Parkers punches to the head .He's made an ' official ' complaint about the verdict but everyone else seems convinced that Parker won .

Bad Luck for Campbell btw .
