Are there any boxing fans in Saudi Arabia? What’s the thinking behind that one I wonder. How many AJ fans will make the trip. Could be another Rumble in the Jungle I suppose holding a big fight way off the beaten track.

Eddie was in a hole a big one Dazn wanted USA and sky the UK this is a Cowards way out for Eddie and matchroom and will be the down fall of the relationship between one or both companies
I personally wouldn’t have gone but i’m sick to the back teeth of stuff like this going on in boxing. The Sauerlands done the same thing with the WBSS and it drives me mad, and no surprise Hearn is now just selling the sports soul for as much money as he can.
Reckon it will sell well in Saudi Arabia ticket wise, doubt too many will go (not exactly first choice for a piss up) but it's two fingers to the fans of both fighters.
Yarde had Kovalev in the 8th, so much so his trainer said 1 more big punch and I am ending it, Yarde needed to come out in the 9th and attack but he didnt and thats when he lost the fight
Nobody can knock Yarde for stepping up, his stock value hasnt decreased at all after that fight.
He totally gassed himself in the 8th, he had nothing left in the tank to apply the pressure in the 9th. Hence why he was finished with a jab, I think anybody could've hit him with a jab and floored him after that 8th round, he literally had zero in the tank at that point.
Left it all in the ring and showed the heart of a lion, I respect him even more now and there is 100% big fights to come for him in the future.
No interest in Loma/Campbell this weekend though, not even a competitive fight. Fury Povetkin is a snoozefest too, not much on that card that appeals to me.
Wasted opportunity, Yarde had a chance to beat an aging and past it kovalev , showed nothing to me in the performance other than not sparring and playing pattacake on pads is for mugs
physically he looks good technically sound ability to be a champ not unless many things change including his training schedule
Anyone else going along tomorrow? I've got tickets in the cheap seats, but not been to the O2 for boxing before so looking forward to it. Not the most exciting card, but seeing Loma in the flesh will be something to tell the grandkids in several decades time. Should be a substantial piss up... Going with a bunch of scousers

Come on Yarde
Kovalev's second wind came and Yarde had nothing left.

Yet Fury's odds to win and win by KO haven't really changed much. Very strange.
i dont know where he should be sitting tbh
