  • Christ Pulev can take a shot!
    They were never the cleanest of shots from Chisora though, except for the body shots, of course, of which there were many.

    Not sure why Eubank would take this other than for the money. He wins, he's no closer to a world title. Loses, and he could be finished. A good big 'un always beats a good littl'un...

    Whereas it feels like a no-lose one for Benn.

    Very hyped fight, he loses he can say I took a fight at catchweight, lost to a bigger guy, move on.
  • I think Eubank will win unfortunately 
  • I still want to go though I agree with what people are saying. I feel Benn can spring an upset but the evening has a chance to be a brilliant spectacle. Naturally Eubank Jr is favourite but just think Benns determination and aggressive nature with his decent punch accuarcy/power will really put him in good stead.   
  • Does AJ have any show of beating Usyk this weekend?  I see Usyk is favoured to win by some bookies.  Usyk seemed to have his measure in the first fight and Joshua may need to change his game plan (says me who doesn’t know much)
  • Joshua always has a chance. 

    But he won't win. Honestly don't feel like in the last 3 years he's been as dedicated as he could have been. Still the same robotic style that was waiting to get found out.

    Really busy cards are put up by BKFC, I'm a fan and the more cultured ex pro boxers that are now getting involved the better its getting. The fights rarely go the distance as funnily enough getting hit clean with someone not wearing any knuckle padding, hurts and its a good watch seeing some windmilling animal fight someone who knows how to defend and move their feet 

    As regards Joshua v Usyk. This is Usyks to lose, same as the first fight, Joshua needs to have learned from the Chisora fight that Usyk wasn't anywhere near as comfortable in the ring with Del boy as he was with jab, jab, right Joshua. However Usyk looks a lot bigger for this fight, either growing into the weight or not wanting to be physically dominated and Joshua looks slim, which will help his gas tank in the later rounds but I've seen nothing from Joshua throughout his career to suggest he can change his style that is suited to fighting big, slow men with no footwork. 

    Benn v Eubank, as much as I love Nigel Benn and rate Connor for the stage of his career he is at and am at best, lukewarm to Eubank junior. Eubank is too big for him, can take a shot and I think will stop him.
  • I think Joshua's only hope is to try and blast him out of there early on. He's not going to have suddenly unlocked an entirely new arsenal of boxing skill to be on Usyk's level, and it will just be a repeat of the first fight if he tries to box him.
  • Make sure to watch Ben Whittaker on the undercard. Second coming of Prince Naseem.

    Completely agree, but it's exactly what I think will happen though.

    Not sure if it's him being scared of really getting hit post-Ruiz, or trying to prove he's some master boxer that he isn't, but Joshua appears intent on ignoring the only advantage he has over Usyk, his size.
  • Benn might surprise a few.
    He's lightning quick and Eubsnk junior ain't got his old man's stamina, so if Benn can get stuck in early he could turn him over.

    The only factor in Connors favour is the weight, he should be strong and feel strong but I don't think he is ready for this fight which is saying something as Eubank junior is one of the most over hyped Instagram fighters for a generation. The biggest name he has fought is an absolutely busted James DeGale. However he is a lot bigger than Connor and I dont think Connor will be able to hurt him, Eubank junior has a solid chin I'll give him that

    Took some quality shots from a banger in George Groves. Defo has his dad's chin

    Some of the punches George hit him with are putting most super middleweights down. Unfortunately for junior he just hasn't bothered with head movement or footwork 
  • I'll be perfectly honest, £27 to watch uzyk Joshua is a bit steep.

  • The decline of Badou Jack is really quite depressing to watch.

    Apparently he won that fight.  What a joke. 
  • Somehow the eighth round lasted just under four minutes. How do you mess up that badly as the timekeeper?

    Embarrassing. 
  • What a left from Smith Zzzzz
  • What a left from Smith Zzzzz
    Enjoyed that scrap as the French lad came to have it.

    Smith gets dismantled by Berbetiev and Bivol though 
  • Tarverdi going to drop unless he can land a few more of those rights. His left jab is ineffective so far.
  • Awful stoppage. 
  • Anyone managed to find the Ukraine stream ? I may have but not sure as it is just repeating the weigh in I'm hoping the stream will start soon
  • This could be an interesting fight. 

    A perfect record, Vs a near perfect record with 1 draw.
