Didn't look as though the opposition was all that much in either fight. Not impressed with Joyce though. Must be lacking some power based on that, and his punches seem a bit sloppy to me. Efe looks to have a better defence and his punches are sharper/ I think I side with you on that one Cyc

Agree. Not impressed by Fury. He got inside Klitschko's head but he seems to have lost it this time round with his rants. Makes me think he isn't confident
 
Wow, Big Baby Miller might have to change his name to Huge Baby Miller. Tomorrow, at the splendid weight of 22 and a half stone, he'll climb into the ring to do battle against the 41 year old Tomasz Adamek. This is a dead set cherry pick for Miller, but at this huge weight, is he really putting in the work, or is just another lazy bastard in the gym? There will be a 80 pound difference between the men in the bout. <yikes>

England's unbeaten BBB of C and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Champion, Callum Johnson, climbed into the ring in Chicago to challenge the IBF World Champion, Artur "The Beast" Beterbiev. Going into the bout, the Champ had only competed in the professional ranks on 12 occasions, winning all by stoppage.

Always looked like Beterbiev was going to win but Johnson gave it a good go
 
Three weight champion Naoya Inoue, unbeaten in 15 fights, 11 of which have been world title bouts, defended his WBA Bantamweight Title for the first time. His opponent, Juan Carlos Payano, the former Bantamweight Champion who'd never been stopped.

Behind, or maybe alongside Lomachenko, Inoue is my favourite fighter. His nick name, "Monster," truly fits the man.

The draw for the Super Series should see Inoue eventually clash with Zolani Tete. It'll be a mega fight Ron. Tete meets Mikhail Aloyan next weekend, so we'll get a better looks at what's possible down the road. There are some cracking fights coming up in the Bantamweight Super Series.
 
Yep. I notice he gives a little twist at he end of his punches. I remember Ali showing off that once when he kod one of the big shots with one punch. Interesting. Ali learnt it from a karate expert, he claimed

Has anybody of late done a better job of ****ting in his own nest than WBO World Middleweight Champion Billie Joe Saunders? First he allows someone to film a grubby scene in which he's filmed making vulgar conversation with a prostitute and offering her drugs, (for which he was fined 100,000 pounds for bringing boxing into disrepute) and then he tests positive to the banned stimulant oxilofrine. For testing dirty, the Massachusetts Athletic State Commission has denied Saunders a licence to defend his title against Demetrius Andrade on October 20 in Boston. It now appears that the WBO will strip him of his title. His end of the purse for the Andrade fight was said to be US$2,300,000. That's now down the toilet as well.

In reply to the news of his failure to secure said licence, The Independent has reported Saunders as saying: “You can suck my prick.”

What a charming gentleman.

Very talented boxer but also just a very typical pikey
 
There's some serious debate at the moment when it comes to the pound for pound rankings. A number of organisations who have their own barrow to push, put up their lists, so it's hard to get some sort of handle on who ranks where. Just about all of them have Vasyl Lomachenko as number 1, with Terence Crawford at 2, but after that it gets a bit fuzzy, especially as heaps of folk say that Crawford can't beat Errol Spence. Then we have the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin, Naoya Inoue, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Oleksandr Usyk and Spence all mixed in one order or another.

The reason I've mentioned the P4P rankings is because Terence Crawford, the man they believe to be the number 2, will be out to defend his WHO World Welterweight Title tomorrow against Jose "Merciless" Benavidez, a man ranked No 12 in the USA and No 31 globally. The betting has Crawford at 1-20 and Benavidez at 16-1. The pundits have Crawford utterly destroying Benavidez. But the latter is one hard bastard. In the past he's walked the fine line between the law and crime. He's had his auto fire bombed and he's been shot. He throws heavy bombs and has great faith in himself. But as we all know, plenty of fighters have those attributes and still find themselves being carried from the ring. At one stage, he was considered the next big thing in boxing, but ended up walking the wild side and giving the game away. He's now back and hungry. Spence will most likely do him, but it could be interest for a while. And you just never know.

What I like about this bloke though, is his ability to invade an opponent's head space. Crawford is usually pretty well adjusted when it comes to the lead up to a bout, but not this time. Benavidez has been into Crawford from the get go and as the clip below shows, he seems to be winning on the pre-fight front.

P.S. Fingers crossed for Hughie Fury.
