Sexton v Fury. Sam Sexton entered the ring as number 62 in the world, Hughie Fury at number 24. Most of the big questions going into the bout concerned Fury. Would he let his hands go, would his work load improve, and what of the hunger and savagery his team were on about?

I have to admit, I liked what I saw.

Terrible boxing on show. Poor fight

Just as a matter of interest Smoke, who would you put your money on, Hughie Fury or Dillian Whyte? For me it's a toss up, with an ever so slight leaning to Fury. Not that I think it'll ever come to pass.

I'd go for Fury mate. Technically better and is smart enough to avoid the big shots that Whyte would throw hoping for a knock out. He's just such a dull fighter

This weekend 5 world title fights take place, but the one I'm really looking forward to is the Adonis Stevenson - Badou Jack clash. The 40 year old Adonis "Superman" Stevenson has held the WBC Light Heavyweight belt for nearly five years but has only stepped into the ring twice in the last 32 months. At his best he has serious power, but can he reproduce it again with the extra grey whiskers?

Badou Jack has in the past held both the WBC Super Middleweight and WBA Light Heavyweight World titles. He's six years younger and despite being two inches taller, he suffers a four inch reach deficit. A lot of folk don't like Stevenson and want him beaten, but I'll be cheering on the old bloke, even though he's a flash bastard.

Betting.

$1.91. Stevenson.
$2.15. Jack.

I'm surprised to see the odds for this fight 10/11 both fighters no outright favourite. I could be wrong but and it's juat my opinion but I think Stephenson is very underated as a boxer because of his knockout power and I think Jack is overrated probably because of his association to Mayweather. Id have Stephenson winning this one probably by late stoppage but then again I thought Lee Selby would walk through Josh Warrington but he's just been schooled in Leeds by Warrington.

Jamie McDonell, one of the UK's longest serving world champions, yesterday climbed into an Ota-City ring in Japan to defend the WBA World Bantamweight Title, a belt he won four years ago at Wembley Stadium. His opponent was the sensational Naoya Inoue, the man know as Monster. McDonell took a massive height and reach into the fight but was forced to lose some serious weight. Inoue was unbeaten going into the fight, having won all 15 with 13 coming by ko. He'd won the WBA Light Flyweight title at just his sixth fight. He defended it just the once before moving up two divisions and capturing the WBO Super Flyweight belt. This he defended seven times before he again stepped up another division, this time to Bantamweight where he challenged the WBA champ McDonell.

An interesting prospect emerged last weekend in the US. A *****lian featherweight by the name of Tugstsogt Nyambayar climbed into the ring against a bloke called Oscar Escandon who'd just come off the back of a world title loss to WBC Champion Gary Russel Jr. Both men were Olympians. Tugstsogt "King Tug" Nyambayar's only two losses came in gold medal bouts, one at the Olympics, the other the World Championships. He took a massive height advantage into the fight and started favourite.
