Callum Simpson vs Ivan Zucco on Sky at the moment. Cracking fight. Simpson well on top after 3 between being put on his backside twice. First time after 7 seconds.
Incredible performance from Hamzah Sheeraz, absolutely destroyed Berlanga. Knocked him down twice in the 4th and then got a 5th round KO. Berlanga did well to actually get up from the first 2 knockdowns to be fair.
Berlanga went the distance with Canelo less than 12 months ago, so that's some statement from Sheeraz.

Watched the highlights this morning and he looked impressive. Looked better at the weight and showed a great variety of punches.
The DAZN coverage was a disgrace. Fine for the utter tripe that was the undercard, from the ring walks for the main event it buffered, frooze and dropped completely.
looking at their help page on Twitter I am not the only one who had this problem
Totally dominant display finished off by a cracking shot. No one out there deserves the trilogy fight with Usyk, he's just too good.
He's beaten every serious competitor twice, and convincingly - it's not like he scraped through close decisions against anyone, he beat everyone handily both times.

And yet he has had split decision victories against both Joshua and Fury, not rhat I believe that he didn't deserve to win those fights.
Just on another level. No one beats him. He is a genius and will go down as an all time great.
I would like to see him retire. He has nothing else to prove. Retire, the belts get scattered and we get a load of British heavyweights fighting each other for them belts.

The interesting thing with Usyk in certainly the first Fury fight was how he almost gave Fury a bit of space to see what he was going to do and once he had him sussed especially after I think the 6th or 7th round when Fury hurt him he just took Fury apart, boxed his ears off so its easy to think it was a wider fight than it was. Don't get me wrong I cant make a case for Fury or Joshua winning as I think whilst both had their moments Usyk won more rounds, I couldn't give many of the rounds a a share
He could have stopped both of them too if he really put his foot on the gas. Dubois last night got it all wrong and tried to blow him out early like he did with Joshua. Very unintelligent boxing

While Usyk is clearly the best around, I think it shows how poor the heavyweight division is at the moment.
Listened on radio 5, sounded like DDD was winning... Clearly wasn't
He didn't win a round
He may have shared/shaded one round but that was all.
Watched it back this morning, even in that round usyk was landing the far cleaner punches.
They won't make it, as it's not a money fight, but I'd love to see Usyk Kabayal. Stylistically would be a great fight, usyk doesn't like it to the body, and he bangs.
Dubois got it all wrong last night, tried to blast him out of there and doesn't have the boxing ability to do that. Del boy showed the blue print of what you need to do with usyk... throw your weight around and turn it into a brawl. If you let him box, there isn't a person in the world who beats him

In the other fight at Portman road Wardley knocks out Huni after being outclassed most of the fight.

DDD didn’t look right from the ring walk onwards way too slow and lethargic but that’s what Usyk makes all fighters look like
Boxing legend
