    Superb performance from Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez to win the WBA Bantamweight title, with a knockout win over Antonio Vargas, making him a 3-weight world champion.
    I don't think there's a more exciting boxer at the moment.

    Usyk vacates all belts - but not retiring. Probably wants more choice to who he fights and go out on his own terms, which honestly you can't blame him for.

    Wants one big final fight apparently so can't be arsed with the mandatory challenges they want to give him.

    Fair play to him, as rather than hold the divisions up, it now means the belts are all available for the guys next in line to fight for them.

    Inoue
    Hopefully, they will meet.
    Who wins, I don't know, but I don't find Inoue as exciting.

    Wild opinion. I can't think of a boxer as impressive as Inoue in years.

    I remember Inoue absolutely schooling two decent British and certainly European level fighters in McConnell and Rendall Munroe, like they had never boxed before it was that conclusive and have watched and admired him ever since. I love how businesslike he is, the same as Gennady Golovkin doesn't have to talk bollocks and play up just always turns up and does the business looking like a rolls royce

    This. I don't think I've ever seen a man be so genuinely destructive with his body punches. They are absolutely ruthless. I'll never forge watching him repeatedly detonate on Boywaux, to the point he actually cried out in pain when he finished him. A truly hard puncher. Got a good chin as well, seen him take a few big shots as the opposition has gone up in class and weight over the years. I genuinely think he could still be effective at feather - though super feather is probably beyond him. 

    Generational fighter, slept on by many, but I think most aficionados would have him at #1 or #2 pfp with only a fag paper between him and Crawford.

    Whittaker looked good. Obviously the opposition was little more than a Mexican roadsweeper, but did the job and looked good getting rid of him. Fight with Buatsi has to be closer now
