    So with Mayweather v Logan Paul confirmed for February.

    Who will be watching and who do you think will win 🤣🤣🤣

    What a joke of a fight
    I comment on this only to urge no-one else to give this an ounce of attention. It simply does not deserve it. It will be a stage-managed "fight" for Paul's YouTube followers to spunk money on to see their hero/idol/whatever do some "fighting".

    We lost my wife's grandad sadly last week.  Sandy Risley, he was very involved in the sport for many years in various capacities, particularly with Matchroom  and got the 10 bells on the Sky show Friday before the Saunders Murray fight. He was also involved with Leyton Orient during Barry Hearne's stewardship.

    Hugely gutted and quite cut up about it to be honest as he was an absolute legend to those who knew him and will be very sadly missed by many. 

    RIP Sandy. x

    (I'm not on social media other than this forum so felt appropriate to post my little tribute on this thread to a great man)

    Seems like a very Mayweather thing for him to do though. Doesn't have any integrity, just after the money. Don't think there's many boxers I'd have happily seen lose as much as Floyd.

    I hope you can have a look on Twitter @RodneyCharltonTrotta even if you’re not on it yourself.
    some brilliant photos and memories/tributes to your wife’s grandad have been posted over the past week

    Thanks mate, yeah did see some stuff last week but found it all very surreal and upsetting so avoided it a bit.

    I knew he was well known and loved in the game by many but was choked at the number of people paying tribute to him but that is testament to what a remarkable man he was. A bit of a cliché but he was very much an old school character and of a generation and era that we are slowly losing sadly as time passes.

    Will have a look more at it all on twitter etc when it's sunk in a bit more.

    My wife took a lot of comfort from the tributes which was nice.

    Took him to The Valley a number of times even though he supported another club and gutted I'll not get the chance to do so again.

    AJ Pulev this weekend, absolutely terrible card to go with it though... Okolie and Hughie Fury are the supporting fights... think I might be asleep before the main fight starts.

    All this talk about Fury turning up to the fight just to try and hype the event up a bit. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not there. 

    AJ to blast Pulev out inside 6 is my prediction.

    Very touching tribute given to your grandad in law over the weekend. Very sorry for your loss mate

    Joshua to steamroll pulev. May get rocked first being sucked into pulev circling his hand.

    AJ all the way. 

    There’s been some questionable walk out songs tonight, my god. 

    I would have Metallica cover VFR as mine.

    Okolie just whipped that polish bloke. He looked decent.

    The hughie Fury fight was like a dust up at a wedding

    Hughie Fury manages to make me want to sleep regardless of who he's fighting, just cannot enjoy his fights

    Aye, his fights against Parker and povetkin were tedious at best

    Pulev really lucky to get out of that third round

    Joshua's use of framing has been great so far, doing a good job of using it to keep Pulev at range and turn him away

    Ref has 0 control of this fight, some of this clinching and rabbit punching is getting ridiculous from both

    That fight was appallingly refereed. So irresponsible. It could well have been stopped when he turned his back, and should EASILY have been stopped after that ridiculous farce of a standing eight before the ten. Jesus.

    Edited to add - and, of course, the punches after the bell, clinching, rabbit punching - all of that was bollocks.

    World Champion beats up old man. What was the PPV cost? Glad to have been streaming it.

    Don't really watch boxing but this didn't really seem fair to me, very very one sided
