    The fight of the year is on tonight between two of the top pound for pound fighters on the planet.

    Neither of these guys are **** talkers like Broner or Mayweather so it isn't the 'money' fight that it might be but it is truly a great fight.

    Guillermo Rigondeaux faces Nonito Donaire for the super bantamweight championship of the wooooooooooorld.


    This cat is picking Rigondeaux.

    Boxing is staged just like it's more illustrious partner wrestling.

    The writers decided that Rigondeaux should win a unanimous points decision despite getting dropped in the 10th.

    I couldn't believe how wide the score was with two of the judges.

    Baffled.

    You don't half talk some **** Reb.

    Rigondeaux and Donaire are not the 2 best P4P fighters around.

    I stayed up till gone 5 watching this and it was tripe. Donaire has always been massively overrated. I can see why he got fighter of the year, he was busy and won 3 different titles, but he is so one dimensional is wasn't going to take much for someone to suss him out. He's never #4 P4P.

    As for Rigondeaux, he did give Donaire a boxing lesson, but no-****er will buy tickets to see him fight again. He's already lauded himself as a "Hall of Famer with 12 fights". So much for not talking ****. That makes Mayweather look humble. An amateur legend he is, a pro he is not. There were rounds when he hardly threw a punch and just moved. At least Mayweather trades. What serious tests are there for him at Bantam? He needs to go up through the divisons. Although on a performance like that he's close to impossible to market and promote.

    What did you think of the venue? They should never hold a fight there again, was ****ing terrible and looked like a cinema.

    Tyson Fury big useless pikey ****, goading Steve cunningham on in first round then lands on his arse in the second with a peach of a right hand, point deducted in fifth for headbutt. **** should be disqualified.

    Box office Fury wins by KO.

    As for talking ****, it was a technical fight. I enjoyed it. I never said they were the 2 best, I said they were two of the best.... And they are.

    He was in all kinds of bother. He is a real fighter....and a showman.

    Just watched the cousin. Exactly the same style.

    Cleverly is on at the minute as well.

    The cousin doesn't have the natural physical attributes - physique, hand speed, movement - that Tyson has. But he doesn't appear to have the mental weaknesses either. Tyson Fury needs treatment for his mental problems, seriously. If he can sort his head out, he could be a truly great heavyweight.

    He may well be a fighter but not good enough for the Klitscho bro's, think any of them would annihilate him.

    He's a big lad and he is in better shape at 18 than Tyson was at 19. We haven't seen what he can do as a pro yet but the signs are good.

    Probably not. Nor will he be good enough for Pulev. He's more of a fighter than Wladimir will ever be.....but he won't ever be that good.


    120-108 119-109 120-108 cleverly wins.
