Great fight, last round was brilliant, I had it 7-5 to Froch, how,did you mark it?
I had Froch winning by a couple of rounds as well. I don't know what fight the judge who had it 118 - 110 was watching. That was an insult to Kessler who put on a great display himself.

Two real warriors who barely took a backward step all night. A credit to the sport. Great fight.

Ward dismantles Froch pretty easily. Doesn't matter if it's Wembley, Oakland or Mumbai, Ward will beat Froch again.

Absolutely. Ward is in a different league and he's already proved that.

Fair play to Froch, but people are getting a little bit carried away after his last three fights. Ward is still head and shoulders above anyone else at super middleweight.

Glad to see that Mayweather/Canelo has been made. I think Canelo is an excellent young fighter and will pose Floyd a lot of problems and his weight advantage may prove decisive. He comes to the ring looking massive and Floyd generally doesn't bulk up after he makes weight so that could prove a factor. It's the best possible fight that could've been made

Mayweather Jr -v- Alvarez is the best fight Floyd could have made right now.

I'm really looking forward to this one, as it pits 2 top quality fighters against each other.

I'd take Mayweather to win on points as Alvarez is a bit slow on his feet, but he's still going to present a stiff challenge to Mayweather though.

This is the best time for Mayweather to fight Alvarez. The longer it was put off, the closer the fight would have been.

I expect Floyd to win on points.

Haye -v- Fury is reportedly being lined up for September in a football stadium somewhere.

The press conferences would certainly be spiky.

I'd pick Haye to win, as I think he'd be too quick. Also, Fury doesn't punch hard enough to deter Haye IMO.

Lets hope the rumours are true.

If Haye has ring rust then who knows, but on paper it looks like a mismatch. Not sure what the broadcasting will be, maybe Sky with the fight on 5 the next day. If it's PPV Sky are mad.

Richard Schaefer said he's going to fight the winner of Malignaggi/Broner next. I'd love to see Maidana fight Broner as I think Maidana will give him the good hiding that he deserves

Maidana fought more intelligently vs Lopez, it wasn't the usual Road Warrior kind of performance that you get from Maidana, maybe Garcia isn't as overrated as I thought.

Some of those ripping shots to Broner's body will be beautiful to watch.

Look like Kirkland has gone on a path of destruction which is a shame. You was always guaranteed a decent viewing when he was in the ring.

I hope this happens - a genuinely intriguing fight in he heavyweight division! When did we last have one of those?

Can't stand either of them, so it's a win win situation for me regardless of the result.

I cant believe Haye vs Fury is potentially gonna be on Box Office! Are Sky really that idiotic considering all of Haye's fights on BO have been flat to say the least that they are gonna get a big buy rate!

I dont think it would be a great fight Haye will chop him down in 7 rounds!

I do wonder if a win against Fury will be enough to get Vitali in the ring? I suspect it wouldnt be!

Box office for that? They've got to be kidding.

It's intriguing, but it's not something I'd be prepared to pay for - particularly as most of Haye's fights at heavyweight have been about as entertaining as watching paint dry. He ran from Wlad and fought like a coward and didn't exactly get stuck in against the joke that is Audley Harrison either. Something tells me he won't exactly come out fighting against a 6ft 9 giant like Fury, even if Fury is slightly shit.

I'd love to see Haye in with Vitali, so Vitali can take his head off and, hopefully, shut Haye up once and for all.

.
Fury is a powder-puff puncher for a man of his size!
He's just another geat big lump with very little in the way of natural talent.
I also think he's chinny and will be knocked by a single shot as soon as he fights anyone that's actually any good.
Mind you, there aren't many who are any good in the Heavys these days, so one can go far being total shit in this sorry era.

Spot on.

David Haye is a PPV killer (although that is actually a good thing).

All we need now is to have Parcel Force Harrison on the undercard!

Haye V Charr rescheduled would have been a much more exciting match-up than Haye V Fury. Both Haye and Fury have better mouths than fists and Fury is a spoiler.

I'd be more interested in seeing Fury fight David Price, even after Price's recent humiliating loss. That for me is a genuinely interesting fight and I really wouldn't like to say who would win.

Yes indeed. What time is the fight? If coverage started at 1 I guess around 3?

They've just gone through since the Crolla fight so I don't know what time the US leg starts. It's on the East Coast so hopefully half 3ish for the main event.
