Another cracking pay per view taking shape on sky.

Lee McGregor in the ring and about to start:

Just had a bluey on this Belgian lad fighting Cordina. No chance of him knocking him out and points will be an ask with the home judges, but cordina hasn’t fought for 16 months and this fella has been at it. It happens so often.

 

Anyone else watching tonight?

Waste of a fiver - absolutely gulfed these 2 in ability

[Brownie]

Some dig to end that from Okolie.

 

Glowaki clearly well past his best.

[Floyd10]

I don't get carried away with the brit hype machine but that was an impressive performance, fair play

[Remmie]

What happened to that Glowacki, I only ever saw him in a great performance to beat Huck and not heard about him since

That DAZN subscription is getting a bit odd , they have no major fights coming up but have emailed me to say I can live watch e-sports championships at Tekken , Mortal Kombat and Soul Caliber presented by Oleksandr Usyk !!!

Email back and ask if they want to put our draft on.

They had a good offering on Saturday. The main event was a shootout as was the Lopez/Lopez scrap.

How did that finish? I’d have bet my house on a Lopez win

Sounds a bit of an exaggeration that. Must have been a minimal incline. He's not Hercules.

My dad had a Triumph Herald that I seemed to spend most of my time pushing up hills.

De La Hoya serious about a comeback. That was one of the greats who retired at the right time, if anything one fight too many actually. Absolutely no point in him fighting again. I get that they miss the ring/fight etc but fucking hell. He was one of my favourite fighters growing up but he turned into a cheat and a bit of a gobshite. 

 

The only comeback fight I want to see is Froch v Calzaghe, fuck knows why. 

[Kevin D]

Seems pointless cheering against Whyte.

 

He got knocked out cold last time and it hasn't stopped his endless stream of nonsense.

[Bjornebye]

Takes the piss that it's pay per view.

Na, if you wanna watch Kongo, Wardley and Ted Chesseman, you need to pay top dollar. These fighters don't come along very often. 

 

Even someone like Whyte brings pedigree, having held the WBC Silver heavyweight belt.

Clicking on that link I saw that that youtube guy's brother is going to be fighting former UFC fighter Ben Askren - I think in a boxing match. He'll get demolished won't he? I know Askren was more of a wrestler but he has done elite level striking whereas Jake Paul has fought other youtubers and a basketball player I think.
