    Previously would have been all over degale winning this easy. Degale is absolutely a shot fighter can't see him winning this.

    Looks like Khan has chosen the Crawford fight over one with Kell Brook
    Much harder fight, reportedly for less money too.

    Got to respect Amir for taking on Crawford, my guess is he believes the fight/payday with Brook will still be open to him even after a Crawford loss (although I’m sure he believes he can win).

    No you don't... He is dodging kel. He is expected to lose against Crawford, any legacy he has isnt going to be effected at all. If he loses to Kel he will forever be known as the guy who was all mouth and no trousers and he knows that.

    Yeah, I meant more in terms of the list of opponents he has faced throughout his career.
    Kell looking for 1 last payday imo. Must be fuming Khan picked Crawford now

    Plus the ducking of Kell is an ego thing, like you said he will forever be known for losing if he does. Fighting Crawford isn’t your usual “duck” lol
    Khan rightly or wrongly believes he can take the $ from the Crawford fight and still have the Brook money fight after, even if he gets beat. But if he fights Kell first, there won’t be a Crawford payday

    I do t think he is dodging Kel , I think it’s more the money has to be right and currently it’s not regardless of what Eddie Hearn puts out there to say otherwise

    Kel brook is finished totally and utterly life outside she the GGG fight and the Spence fight finished him but he is slimy and in desperate need to secure his future

    The only way degale loses this fight is through carrying an injury

    If Jacobs prepares right he has a very real chance.

    Of course he will have to knock Alvarez out cold to get a split decision in Vegas

    Is Selby completely out of the picture?

    Gone up a weight I believe
    I read Selby is going up two weights lol
    Selby is back on degale eubank undercard. He has gone up two weight divisions to lightweight. Interesting move.

    Absolutely, a very real chance. Jacobs is a superb boxer and if he avoids Canelo's bombs he has the ability to school him over 12 rounds - assuming, as you indicate, we get fair scorecards.

    Jacobs will need a knockout for a draw

  • My little mate Tom Bell without a doubt the most talented kid I have had the joy to be involved with tragically taken from us in the prime of his life , there’s always two sides to a coin and Tom was no angel , but to lose his life in this terrible tragic way is gutting beyond belief and there was me hoping 2019 I’d lose no one yet not even a month in and I have heart ache already

    RIP Tom Bell loved you loads pal as you knew

    Wow. Cano stopped Linares in the first round.
    Linares was as short as 1/50 with the bookies

    Expect Linares to call it a day now. Not sure how he’ll ever get back to anywhere near where he wants to be.

    Linares was dropped 3 times and was all over the place in the final seconds.

    Andrade v Akavov on the other hand is one of the worst stoppages I’ve seen for a long time. 30 seconds left in round 12...judge for yourself.

    Someone clearly had big money on a stoppage.

    Andrade called out GGG after, saying he would destroy him, yeah good luck with that.
