Fury does have heart. He's been put down in fights and even when it looks like its over he manages to hang on but that doesn't change the fact fighters far worse than wlad have floor him. His chin has always been suspect. If wlad catches him then it could be over. He did say he'd retire if he lost, I wonder if he'll follow through with that?

Who needs undercards when you get akward ring walks involving a full blown symphony orchestra or a serenade by 80's hair metal rock gods The Scorpions.


The thing about Fury is, that he's up for a scrap, he's not really going there to box, but to fight, and because of his size and attitude it gives him a massive advantace over other Klitschko opponents of the past. I for one am excited at the prospect of Klitschko actually having to do something rather than lean on the smaller guy to tire him out.


Can't see any upsets happening due on the Warren card tonight, Chisora is back, interesting to see how he looks with a potential AJ fight down the line. Just hope Saunders doesn't get cut. Best fight of the weekend could be Pascal/Gonzalez on the Kovalev, depends with a cuban.

Kid Galahad has had his 2 year suspension upheald aswell.

He's a bit like a boxing Schumacher, undoubted talent and ability, but likes every possible advantage, referees are loath to stop his holding, plus he is utterly, utterly devoid of any excitement, he looks like a businessman, talks like a businessman, and is just dull. He's like a champion by numbers.

Even Vitali gave the impression he could lose it and snap someones neck and could be a right nasty piece of work if the notion took him. Vitali had an aura of danger, Wlad has an aura of domesticity, I bet he would borrow your lawnmower and leave it back spotless with a freshly sharpened blade.

Decent keep busy card from Warren. Chisora with a great punch, Mitchell with an even better one, Cox looked decent, Buglioni won but I'm still not sure how far he can go. All against inferior opposision it must be said but still an entertaining night. Saunders was OK considering he was carrying an extra stone, still can't make my mind up about the Lee fight, Lee has the power to stop him but Sauders does look really classy when he throws those combos.

That is just such backwards thinking!

It is like Mayweather not thinking Rousey is a fighter!

These idiots just need to keep their pathetic and wrong views to themselves.

I wonder if BJS would say that to Rousey? She would most likely choke him to he cries.

Kovalev crushes again. Had a feeling that Pascal fight would be good, had it a draw on the night, but rewatched it this morning in better quality and favoured Pascal due to his counters and the amount of missed punches and slap shot from Gonzalez.

GGG vs Lemieux is on, that will be a cracker of a fight while it lasts, make no mistake about, Lemieux can bang but I expect GGG inside 6.

Crolla has been granted a rematch with Perez, which I'm glad, as when I watched it back when sober I had Crolla the winner.

Tonight we have the hype on the Humber, Campbell/Coyle, Unless Coyle pulls out a KO from nowhere Campbell sould be able to finish him inside six.

Heavyweight Dillian Whyte gets the chance to impress in the domestic rivalry with Anthony Joshua, with a guy who lost in the 6th to David Price and Ricky Burns also gets a run out.

Overnight it's Garcia/Malignaggi, Garcia looked massive compared to Malignaggi in the weigh in, so I'm guessing a stoppage by Garcia is on the cards.

Plus Jacobs/Mora which could be good, but Mora is getting on now and I'm going for Jacobs by stoppage.

Campbell v Coyle will be a mismatch unfortunately I feel. I like Coyle, he's obviously not got two brain cells to put together but he wears his heart on his sleeve and is always in good fights one way or another. Comparing against the same opponent isn't always an indicator but I think the Brizuela fights tell us all we need know about their respective levels.

I think you are being very unkind on Tommy there. Interviewed him a couple of times and he is a very articulate and intelligent guy. Both he an Luke are a credit to this city and the sport.

I am going tonight, really will be an amazing atmosphere.

I agree, that does seem a bit malicious towards Coyle... Saw the 'Golden Boy' programme on Sky about Luke Campbell... What a genuine, nice bloke.

anyone just watched the ricky burns fight? The corner for his opponent just threw the towel in for no reason at all. Everyone was in shock but the ref obviously has to accept it. Going to be some questions asked about that one i feel

The ref doesn't have to accept it and shouldn't have done. We all know what's gone on there.

does he not? Im not fully up on the rule there but i assumed the ref has to accept it if a fighter or the corner pull them out

Only the referee can stop the fight. He can even ignore the doctor if he so wishes (although that maybe wouldn't be wise). One famous example is Graham Earl v Michael Katsidis, where Earl's corner threw the towel in and Mickey Vann, the referee, threw it back out (seconds later Earl knocked Katsidis down - good fight, have a look on youtube for it).

Wasn't you kicking off in the crowd was it?


Campbell looked really poor, Mitchell, Flanagan and Crolla would take him apart on that showing.

Whyte's fella took a dive, Burns' little pink socks gave a better performance than him, although you had to feel sorry for the Ghanaian (the look on his face when the towel came in).

Rose/Jones was a cracker but Rose looks like he would get destroyed at world level, I don't know who you would put him in with without the risk of him taking a real battering.

Sky pushing Campbell to fight Cardle. Another few months wasted if that happens, no one's really interested in that are they?

Rose is pretty standard British/Euro level, if he can manoeuvre himself into another world title shot then fair play to him, he seems a decent sort. Rose v Blackwell would be a good scrap.

Campbell looked poor ? Where you watching the same fight ? He was outstanding. In the press conference Tommy Coyle said he would never face him again as he is so good. Luke was brilliant last night. Furthest he's been and he was still fresh at the end. His speed and body shots were terrific. World champion in 18 to 24 months

Hopefully Malignaggi calls it a day after last night. He should be able to make a decent living behind the mic.

The cornermen coming into the ring is an automatic DQ. So the red had no choice really.

Terrible on the fighter though.
