I'm going go watch later on , when I get peace from the kids.

I'm assuming it was the expected massacre ?

I was hugely impressed when I first saw it, but watching it the second time around and concentrating only on the man, I was stunned. An amazing fight. His foot work and hand speed are brilliant.

It's Russian commentary DB., which in a way is better. All that SkySport crap can spoil the viewing.

Lomas performance can only be described as sexy as hell.

In a sport of raw brutality, Loma makes everything look so beautiful and effortless.

Only Bud Crawford can put in a performance of similar excellence.

There's an ongoing debate as to who's number one, pound for pound Ron. I think most would have Loma at one, but there's a huge push in America for the local lad Terence Crawford who fights Amir Khan next weekend in New York. Personally I don't think there's another fighter who has the skills of Lomachenko, but then there's the likes of Canelo Alvaraz and Naoya Inoue etc to consider.

Boxing is loaded with talent at the moment.
 
Tonight in Thailand, one of the best, but probably unknown fighters in the world, Wanheng Menayothin AKA Chayaphon Moonsri makes the 11th defence of the WBC Mini Flyweight Title he won in 2014. Last August he eclipsed Floyd Mayweather's 50-0 record, and has since moved on to 52-0. He fights the No 6 ranked WBC contender Tatsuya Fukuhara.

The man known as "The Giant Dwarf" will start a 1-10 favourite.

Do you remember Maureen O'Hara Cyc? Imagine her interviewing Tatsuya Fukuhara. "So you're fighting the champ. No-one gives you a chance. What did you say your name was?

Nice little scuffle at the weekend with a very promising young British heavyweight.

Lots to like about DD, even though he is still very raw. And Richard Lartey should be applauded for making it a very interesting 4 rounds.

According to reports Dubois has struck a deal to fight Joe Joyce. Very very interesting fight between two very different prospects
 
I'm all over DD on that one.

Me too but it's a fascinating fight with so much unknown about both. Joyce is much older but with slightly less experience in the pro ranks albeit against arguably better opposition. Then you have Dubois who looks full of talent and raw power but has been very delicately handled by his crook promoter.

And you've basically summed it all up in a nutshell.

I actually think DD v the incredibly likeable Dave Allen would be a bit of a barnstormer.

The Allen - Price - Dubois - Joyce puzzle is a nice mix. For me, Dubois holds a bit of an edge on the other three. He seems more brutal than the others. As for Joe Joyce, he's getting into the game at an advanced age and is pretty clunky. Even though he bangs hard, at 33 and being a slow mover, I'd take Dubois over him.

The Allen - Price is an interesting match up. Price has a massive reach advantage over the ever popular White Rhino and he has an outstanding jab, but a suspect chin. Dave Allen seems to have the best chin of the four and hits with authority. But he too is slow. I'm hoping like crazy though that Dave Allen can eventually get to the long reaching Price.

And as much as I love the man affectionately known as the Doncaster De La Hoya, I believe Dave Allen would be outmatched against Daniel Dubois.

Looks like Eddie the fraud Hearn has finally lost all credibility with me. It looks like AJ has bottled out of fighting a live opponent and opted for the fat tub of lard Ruiz Jr.

I'm fkn incensed that they could have picked a number of reasonable opponents, yet they bottled out and picked a guy who has more bean cans on his record than the local Tesco's. I've watched the guy a few times and he is ****ing useless. Id rather he gave the David Price a shot, than this skip rat from the States.

I heard it was Ortiz who bottled it and Hearn was furious
 
LUIS ORTIZ ‘DROPPED THE BALL’
THE name on everyone’s lips to replace Miller in the summer is Cuban veteran Ortiz, who’s only loss came by 10th round KO against Wilder in 2017 after giving the WBC champ a world of problems.

Hearn had offered the tricky southpaw £3.8million to save the day at Madison Square Garden - though the 40-year-old’s management amazingly demanded £7.7m - despite their biggest payday earning them £500,000.

A furious Hearn vowed to “expose” team Ortiz for snubbing the bumper deal as Joshua’s most credible replacement seemingly priced himself out of the unified world title shot.

But in an amazing U-turn Ortiz’s manager Jay Jimenez revealed he and the fighter wanted to accept the £3.8m offer but their promoter “dropped the ball” by trying to negotiate a higher offer.

The problem in my opinion Ron is picking a 40 year old man as a supposed credible opponent.
