    Think he will go the distance tbh, but Loma winning easily. Campbell is a lot better than it seems a lot of people are giving him credit for

    Loma to win round 9.

    Campbell did well in the first round and is going to have to keep it at this range for as long as possible

    Edwards dived like Cristiano Ronaldo When he got hit on the floor... He was very obviously hurt, and I think took that admittedly very late shot as an easy way out.

    Oooft. Campbell hurt on the bell. It'll surely be all over in a couple of rounds max

    Agreed, he was ****ed before that shot and had he got up he’d have been sparked anyway. Very fortuitous that the WBC decided to void the fight on the basis of the action replay.

    Campbell was saved by the bell in the 5th and 7th, got floored in the 11th and clung on for dear life in the 12th.

    Whilst he was competitive throughout, he got battered by the far superior fighter. To listen to the commentators you’d have thought it was close, it was never close.

    Absolutely class watching him. Campbell acquitted himself admirably. You saw the game plan, but ultimately Loma is special and it doesn't matter how you plan on beating him... Unless you take a gun in there it ain't happening <laugh>

    Edwards v Aguilar.
    Aguilar absolutely dismantled him and Edwards looked miles off his game, but you can't punch a guy who has been down for several seconds.
    Ridiculous punch to a fighter who was out for quite some time and he's lucky he wasn't disqualified. A round or two more and he would have been.

    Edwards was ****ed and that whilst that punch shouldn’t have been thrown, it wasn’t seconds after he’d gone down, and he rolled round using it as an excuse from the off.

    Had it not been thrown, I’m not even sure he’d have made the count anyway, and if he did, he’d have been finished off.

    The moral high ground on this one is somewhat murky imo.

    Chisora has threatened to pull out of his fight vs Parker if he isn't given the main event or more money.

    Whilst the way he is reacting isn't the most professional, he kinda has a point - fight is in London where he is a much bigger draw then the current main event of Taylor vs Prograis.

    What are your thoughts?

    Nobody gives a **** about Derek Chisora, he’s always the challenger, never the main event. Fat div should keep his trap shut and thank his lucky stars he gets anything from the sport.

    I think that the promoters love this sort of thing. Great way to generate some headlines and sell a few PPV packages. <applause>

    Chisora does have a point about him and Parker being the crowd draw for the O2, no two ways about it.
    Prograis v Taylor just doesn't have the same draw to the casual fan and won't have sold nearly as many tickets.
    Two unbeaten, top-notch boxers fighting for 3(ish) titles is a bigger fight than an also-ran and a journeyman competing for nothing, though.

    It could be Chisora's last fight and he would probably like to go out at the top, but that's not going to happen.
    Getting a big crowd in his home town and going up against decent opposition is a pretty respectable alternative.
    He's never been the best, but he's had some very entertaining moments and knows how to sell a fight.

    Errol Spence is in hospital with serious injuries that resulted from him crashing his Ferrari.
    Ejected from the vehicle, as he wasn't wearing a seat-belt. Expected to live, at the moment.

    He had a really good fight with Shawn Porter recently, too:


    Would be a shame if this was it for his career, but I just hope there's no significant and permanent damage, really.

    Worth a watch, if anyone missed it.

    Ejected from his car, lucky to be alive. Always wear a seatbelt especially when your car comes with a 5 point harness.
