    It's in Las Vegas mate - Fury is working with Bob Arum to break into the US so no surprise that the card is built to appeal to their fans.

    Off to Leeds tomorrow for the Warrington vs Galahad dust up, can’t see KG troubling the champ but I’ll be smashed either way by then so **** it.

    Not seen it yet, but it sounds like the mismatch that it looked from the off.

    Sounds like there was a lot of hugging.

    It was a close fight, Warrington threw more leather but struggled to connect with Galahad who was awkward and kept connecting with solid single shots. I had it as a draw.

    I thought Galahad edged it personally, but was never going to get the decision. Can’t really argue with a draw or a narrow win either way, was a scrappy, close fight

    It was an interesting fight but far from a classic mate. Did you bother with the undercard or just stay in the bar? Looked like you had great seats from the pic you posted <ok>

    Was in hospitality so mainly in the bar, arrived about 6 and watched the odd few rounds of a few different fights.

    Probably the most interesting bill of the weekend, producing one good performance and one massive controversy.
    Here's the former:

    Skip to about 8.50 for the start of the fight.

    And here's the controversial one:

    Fight starts around 10.10.

    Oleksandr Usyk named as WBO mandatory challenger and will face the winner of the Joshua vs Ruiz rematch. I'm unashamedly a fan of Usyk but he has done nothing to deserve that - will most likely be his debut at heavyweight as well as he pulled out of his last fight due to injury.

    Dillian Whyte is the #1 ranked WBO heavyweight and he has been overlooked again.

    It's shocking how Whyte has bee treated. The whole situation stinks.
